Cedar Shake Roof Repair in Pittsburgh homes
Cedar shake roofs are less common in Pittsburgh but some homes have them for their look. Cedar cups, splits, and curls over time from sun and moisture. The underlayment under the shakes fails and leaks, even when the shakes look fine. Flashing fails at valleys and chimneys. We replace split and cupped shakes, repair flashing, and check the underlayment. Cedar work requires care to match the look.
Why choose us
Water-first dispatch
We stop the water before we talk about anything else. A tarp or a leak stop protects your home and your belongings while we plan the permanent repair. The first call is about keeping you dry, not about selling you a new roof.
Insurance-ready photo documentation
We photograph the damage, the cause, and what we did, and we hand you a clear summary. Your adjuster gets what they need to make a decision. Coverage is always your carrier's decision, but our photos support your claim.
Honest repair-vs-replace calls
If a repair will hold, we say so. If the roof is at the end of its life or the damage is too widespread, we say replacement makes sense. We give you the real answer and a price for both. The decision is always yours.
