Home / Flat Roof Pittsburgh
Most flat roof contractors in Pittsburgh price a replacement because that is the service. We price both, every time, and on a sound deck the restoration number is usually the one that surprises people.
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.
There is nothing dishonest about a contractor who installs new roofs recommending a new roof. It is what they do, and on plenty of buildings it is right.
The problem is that the restore option is often never priced, so the owner never sees the comparison and assumes it did not exist.
You get a restore figure and a replace figure with the assumptions written next to each, including the ones that would change the answer.
If the honest recommendation is replacement, that is what the document will say. Where the line falls is set out separately.
The one answer that ends the conversation. If the structure is going, no surface treatment is honest and we will tell you to replace.
Under roughly a quarter of the area and the wet sections come out and get replaced. Well over it and you are rebuilding the roof anyway. This is measured, not estimated.
On older city buildings this is frequently the deciding constraint, and it is the difference between a recover, a restoration and a full tear-off. Recover versus tear-off sets out the rules.
Not where the stain is. Flat roofs fail at laps, curbs, drains and terminations, and the entry point is regularly a long way from the symptom. Seams are the usual answer.
Every seam, curb, drain and penetration on the Pittsburgh building, photographed. Not the area above the stain.
Where the roof warrants it, so the scope is built on what is wet rather than what is visible.
A restore number and a replace number with the assumptions written next to each.
Work is planned around what happens inside the building, and around the weather window this region actually gives us. The assessment is free.
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.
Both, and we say which one your roof needs. Plenty of roofs should be replaced and we would rather tell you that than coat something that will fail. The replacement page is the other half of this.
Because a tear-off is what most flat roof contractors sell, and it is a straightforward thing to price without establishing much. Ask each of them how much of your insulation is wet and how they measured it. The answers will separate the bids quickly.
Single-ply including TPO and EPDM, modified bitumen, built-up and metal low-slope. The systems page covers each of them and what it takes to restore it.
Frequently not. Age is a weak predictor on a flat roof: what matters is the deck and how much water is in the assembly. Roofs that look finished from the parking lot restore all the time.
With a restoration, considerably less than you expect. No open deck, no debris, no dumpsters and no street staging. No tear-off is the whole difference.
