Project
Dormer-Area Leak Fixed with Partial Roof Replacement in Pittsburgh
Water was reaching the kitchen of this Pittsburgh home through the crawl-space attic. The homeowner needed the source of that leak identified and corrected without assuming the entire roof required replacement.
Project Overview
- Location: Pittsburgh, PA 15212
- Completed: August 20, 2026
- Project duration: 1 working day
- Materials and finishes: GAF Timberline HDZ, Shakewood; underlayment; ice-and-water protection
The starting point
During the assessment, Gino found a large opening beside a dormer that led into the attic. Rain traveling down the valley could enter through that opening. An improperly sealed vent was another concern noted during the visit.
Partial roof replacement in Pittsburgh
MY Pittsburgh Roofing removed the affected roofing section and completed a partial replacement. The installation included premium underlayment, ice-and-water protection, and GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Shakewood, selected as the closest practical match to the existing shingles.
- Partial roof removal
- Localized roofing replacement
- Underlayment and leak barrier
- Final cleanup and inspection
The replacement stayed within the affected roof section. Matching the existing roof as closely as practical was part of the material choice, while the underlayment and leak barrier were included beneath the new shingles.
The result
The work was completed in one working day, with final cleanup and a project inspection. The active leak was resolved and water was no longer entering the kitchen.
