Popular Questions
Signs you may need a new roof include: shingles that are curling, cracked, or missing; roof age over 20-25 years; granules collecting in gutters; water stains on ceilings; or visible sagging. During your free consultation, we’ll thoroughly inspect your roof and provide an honest assessment. Sometimes targeted repairs are sufficient, but if your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan or has widespread damage, replacement is often the more cost-effective long-term solution.
Wood decks offer natural beauty and are typically less expensive upfront, but require regular maintenance including staining and sealing every 2-3 years. Composite decking costs more initially but requires minimal maintenance—no staining, sealing, or painting—and resists fading, splintering, and rot. Composite also comes in consistent colors and textures. We’ll help you weigh the pros and cons based on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and desired maintenance level during your consultation.
Timelines vary by project scope. A roof replacement typically takes 2-5 days, deck construction 1-2 weeks, and siding installation 1-2 weeks depending on home size. Weather can impact schedules, especially for roofing and concrete work. We monitor forecasts closely and plan accordingly, but Pittsburgh weather can be unpredictable. We’ll keep you informed of any weather-related delays and work efficiently during favorable conditions to complete your project as quickly as possible while maintaining quality standards.
