Project
Hunter Green GAF Roof Replacement in Pittsburgh
A Pittsburgh homeowner needed to replace a worn roof that had also been exposed to storm and wind conditions. The existing 3-tab shingles were in poor condition, and the drainage system showed signs of leaking or separation. My Pittsburgh Roofing completed a full tear-off and installed a new GAF Timberline HDZ roof in Hunter Green, along with updated ventilation and drainage components.
Project Overview
- Location: Pittsburgh, PA 15238
- Property: Residential single-family home
- Project: Full roof replacement with drainage and ventilation components
- Approximate roof size: 11 squares
- Existing roof: Deteriorated 3-tab asphalt shingles
- New roofing: GAF Timberline HDZ asphalt shingles
- Color: Hunter Green
- Installation time: 1 working day
The Challenge
The inspection confirmed that the roof had reached the point where replacement was the appropriate solution. Although no unusual hidden conditions were documented, the shingles had deteriorated enough that continued repairs would not provide the same long-term value as a complete roofing system. The existing gutters also needed attention to support proper water management.
Inspection and Project Plan
The crew removed the old shingles, prepared the roof deck, and installed ice-and-water protection, starter shingles, GAF Timberline HDZ field shingles, and matching ridge caps. Ridge ventilation and a bathroom exhaust vent component were incorporated to improve airflow and moisture exhaust. Gutter apron, pipe flashings, gutters, and downspouts completed the transition from the roof surface to the drainage system.
Work Completed
- Full tear-off and disposal of the existing roof
- Ice-and-water leak barrier
- Starter shingles
- GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Hunter Green
- Matching ridge-cap shingles
- New ridge ventilation
- Pipe boots and pipe flashings
- Bathroom exhaust vent component
- Gutter apron
- Gutters and downspouts
- Final project inspection
Final Result
The home now has a complete asphalt-shingle system with a distinctive Hunter Green finish. The replacement corrected the deteriorated roof condition, updated key ventilation and flashing details, and improved the path for water from the roof into the gutters. The roofing work was completed in one working day and verified through the final inspection.
