Project
Four-Layer Porch Roof Tear-Off in Pittsburgh 15214
The homeowner wanted to replace an aging roof before further problems developed. The two-and-a-half-story Pittsburgh property combined steep and low-slope roof sections.
Project Overview
- Location: Pittsburgh, PA 15214
- Completed: August 14, 2026
- Combined project: 2 working days
- Materials and finishes: GAF Timberline HDZ, Fox Hollow Grey; Deck-Armor; StormGuard
The starting point
The assessment found four layers of shingles on the porch roof, along with failing flashing and other installation concerns. That layered porch roofing was a distinctive part of the project and a reason to remove the old material rather than simply cover it.
Roof replacement in Pittsburgh
MY Pittsburgh Roofing completed tear-off and decking work, then installed GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Fox Hollow Grey. The system included Deck-Armor underlayment, StormGuard leak barrier, starter shingles, and ridge ventilation.
- Removal of existing roofing layers
- Decking work and shingle replacement
- Ridge ventilation
- Flashing and roof-edge work
The scope also addressed drip edge, gutter apron, step or wall flashing, chimney flashing, and pipe boots. Seamless aluminum gutters were replaced during the combined job, coordinating the roof covering and drainage work at the property.
The result
The combined project took two working days and received a final inspection. The home had a replaced roofing system, better gutter drainage, and an updated appearance. Improved ventilation was also noted after the work.
