Pewter Grey Roof Replacement for an Active Leak in Cheswick
An active leak led the owners of this Cheswick home to replace an aging roof. The existing three-tab shingles were approximately 25 years old, and the large two-story property had a steep-slope roof.
Project Overview
Location: Cheswick, PA 15024
Completed: September 18, 2026
Project duration: 3 working days
Materials and finishes: GAF Timberline HDZ, Pewter Grey; underlayment; ice-and-water barrier
The starting point
The assessment identified a failed pipe boot and signs of water intrusion on some OSB decking. Those findings made the roof’s supporting details and decking work part of the replacement, not just the visible shingle finish.
Roof replacement in Cheswick
MY Pittsburgh Roofing removed the old roofing, completed decking repair or replacement, and installed GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Pewter Grey. The system included premium underlayment, an ice-and-water barrier, starter shingles, and ridge ventilation.
