Home / Western Pennsylvania
Based in Carlton, we handle commercial roofing and commercial roof restoration across Western Pennsylvania, working in Mercer, Butler, Allegheny and Erie counties. The weather here is hard on flat roofs in a specific way, and it is the reason so many of them fail early.
Certified To Install
It gets patched, it holds through one dry spell, and it is back the next time the wind drives rain the wrong way.
We find where the water actually gets in before anyone quotes you a system.
A full tear-off was quoted on a roof that may not need one, and nobody showed you the condition of the deck.
We say so when a roof does not need replacing, even though replacing it pays us more.
Mil thickness, ponding ratios, a system name you were told to trust. You are responsible for the building and cannot check a word of it.
Nothing happens on your roof without you knowing first. That is the rule here, not a slogan.
That is the one that costs the most and it is the reason this company exists. The contractor who came in sixty thousand dollars cheaper than us on a roof nearby is no longer trading. We are the ones installing the replacement.
Ask us who services your roof in year three. It is the only question on this page we can answer with a name.
A roof does not fail because it got cold. It fails because water found a way into a seam, froze, and made the opening bigger. Repeat that forty times in a winter and a hairline fault becomes a leak.
This is why we look at seams, flashings and terminations before anything else here, and why a roof that looks fine from the parking lot can be several winters into failing.
Better Built has been working on roofs in this region since 2012, for years under the name Five Star Commercial Roofing. The crews live here, and the warranties are honored by the same company that installed the system.
That matters most at the point it usually does not get tested. A twenty year warranty is only worth what the contractor is worth in year twelve.
Water gets into a seam or a crack, freezes, expands and opens it wider. Then it thaws and gets in further. Western Pennsylvania crosses freezing and back dozens of times a winter, and every crossing makes a small fault bigger.
A roof that ponds in summer holds a great deal more weight in February. Standing water is a drainage fault all year, but it is only in winter that it becomes a structural question.
A lot of the industrial and commercial buildings in this region went up decades ago and have been re-roofed once or twice since. What is under the top layer is often not what the drawings say, which is why we scan rather than assume.
Home county. Carlton, Greenville, Hermitage, Sharon and the surrounding industrial corridor. Most of our work sits within half an hour of the shop.
Butler, Cranberry Township, Zelienople and the Route 19 corridor, where a lot of the newer office and retail stock sits.
Older industrial buildings, mixed-use conversions and the flat roofs on top of them, plus the retail and office corridors around the city.
Lake effect snow makes this the hardest weather in the region on a flat roof, and the clearest case for fixing drainage before anything else.
Straight answers on cost, timeline, and what a restoration actually involves. No jargon, no sales pressure.
A free, photo-documented assessment and honest numbers on restore versus replace.
Across Western Pennsylvania as standard, and further for larger projects and portfolios. If you are outside the region, ask. The answer depends on the size of the roof rather than the miles.
Commercial roof restoration coatings need temperature and a dry surface, so the season here runs roughly spring through fall. Winter is for assessments, moisture scans, emergency repairs and getting the scope approved so work can start as soon as conditions allow.
Because the fault is a seam or a flashing that opens under freeze and thaw, and it only sees enough water to show up inside when the melt arrives. That is a fixable fault, and it will get worse every winter it is left.
No. The crews on your roof are ours. That matters for a warranty that has to be honored in ten years time, because the company that installed it is still the company standing behind it.
Yes, on larger and multi-property work. That runs as a separate program rather than as a longer drive, and it is set up differently.
