WHY CHOOSE US

Pittsburgh Flat Roof Repair Project

In small communities like White Oak PA nearby Pittsburgh, Evans Roofing and Gutters is the trusted roofing company because of our years in the roofing business, but also because we listen to local homeowners and tailor every roofing project to their needs. Recently we were contacted by a White Oak PA homeowner with a flat roof style on their residential home. This is unusual because most flat roofs are on commercial buildings.

The flat roof was leaking because another company had messed up a roof repair by just putting a rubber patch over the damaged roofing material, and the patch started leaking again. The homeowner had seen a flyer talking about how Evans Roofing and Gutters is the best roofing company in Pittsburgh PA, so they gave us a call.

Our roofers are trained and licensed for all types of roof repair work, and we can easily tackle flat roof repairs. First, we cut away the damaged section of rubber roofing and then installed new EPDM roofing. Next, we sealed all the seams between the flat roofing membranes and the flashing with special rubber roof seam tape. Once the whole roof was protected by a new layer of EPDM roofing, we then added another layer of protection with liquid silicone roofing.

Evans Roofing and Gutters are Pittsburgh PA’s trusted roofers because of our versatility and responsiveness to our client’s needs. If you need this level of workmanship for your roof, no matter what style it is, contact us for a roof inspection!

Box Gutters Repair in Lawrenceville PA

In Lawrenceville PA, Evans Roofing and Gutters is the trusted gutter installation and repair company for all kinds of roofs, both commercial and residential. We recently proved this by helping out a local property owner who was having trouble with their box gutters, dealing with leaks that had gotten into his house to do interior water damage. This is a serious situation, so our roofing expert was quick to get out to the property in Lawrenceville PA for a thorough roof and gutter inspection.

After consulting with the property owner as to their budget and needs, we were able to come up with a gutter repair solution that would fix their leaks and add life to their roof. Box gutters are sometimes called internal gutters, are square gutters usually hidden behind fascia. Essentially, they’re built into the roof in a way that traditional seamless gutters are not. This means that they can cause serious problems if they leak, as the Lawrenceville PA homeowner discovered. Because of the way they’re constructed, box gutters need specific types of repair.

Our experienced roofing and gutter repair team were able to get out to the site right away and start on their gutter repairs. First, we applied any nails to secure the gutters. Next, we applied high quality seam tape to seal off cracks, holes, and gutter seams. Finally, we sealed the gutters with a silicone coating to completely waterproof their gutters and roof.

The roofing company in Pittsburgh PA with the most flat roofing experience is Evans Roofing and Gutters, hands down. Pittsburgh homeowners with flat roofs may not know this, and they can worry about who to call when their flat roofs develop leaks.

A Pittsburgh homeowner recently had this problem, and went to the internet to find the best roofing company for flat roofs in Pittsburgh PA.

To prevent flat roof issues from developing, we applied silicone seam tape on all of the roofing membrane seams, as well as the cracks, vents, and pipes. Next, we went over top of the existing flat roofing system with Gaco silicone roof coating. This coating is a state of the art material designed to flow into all the little cracks and gaps in flat roofing to provide a seamless waterproof layer. They also chose a white silicone roof coating so that it would reflect sunlight and help insulate the home.

Flat Rubber Roof Repair in Pittsburgh PA

Since pitched roofs with shingles or roofing panels are more common on residential homes, Pennsylvania homeowners with flat roofs might not know what to do or who to call when they have a leaking flat roof. A Pittsburgh PA homeowner had this problem, and they were smart enough to call trusted local roofers, Evans Roofing and Gutters Inc. Flat rubber roofing is one of our specialties, so we were happy to take on the challenge of this job.

The house is a rowhouse, which means it’s connected to the other houses on either side. This allowed water to run from their roofs onto this roof, which didn’t have proper drainage. Without the right drainage system, water will pool on the surface and slowly deteriorate the roofing until leaks form. This is exactly what had happened to our Pittsburgh PA row house owner. 

Experienced with flat rubber roofing on commercial properties, the Evans Roofing and Gutters crew had access to the right flat roofing materials and processes to get this row house roof sealed up and protected from the elements. To accomplish this, we first installed a brand new drainage system that targeted the areas where water was coming in. Finally, we covered the roof in a silicone roofing system. A silicone roofing system has lots of benefits for a flat roof, including providing complete waterproofing, even over drainage systems, as well as reflecting sunlight for a more energy efficient home. 

Our Pittsburgh homeowner loved their new, waterproof flat roof, and he was especially pleased with how well our team communicated with him and how quickly we did the work.

Installed a New GAF Asphalt Shingle Roof in Mt. Lebanon PA

In communities like Mt. Lebanon PA, Evans Roofing and Gutters Inc is the roofing company with decades of experience and a dedication to their local homeowners in the greater Pittsburgh PA area. Recently a local homeowner saw our crew working on the neighbor’s house across the street and were particularly happy with how clean they left the property. They were so impressed that they called us to get their own roof updated!

Their existing roof had gotten older and was showing wear. Although most roofing materials are durable, roofs often suffer similar problems as they age. Older roofing materials like asphalt shingles break down over time, getting lifted by wind, damaged by hail, and losing granules over time. If there is one leak, there will soon be others, and decking or supports will get damaged by water. Roof repairs from a reputable local roofing company will help, but eventually a roof replacement will become necessary.

Our experienced roofing contractors got to work on this Mt Lebanon PA roof, first removing the old roof, then we installed a new roof with GAF certified asphalt shingles. After the roof replacement, we made sure to clean the property thoroughly, just like we had with their neighbor.

The roofing customer was so happy, they said that they “had an outstanding experience with Evans Roofing.” They thought our roof expert was “knowledgeable, responsive, polite, professional, and witty,” and our work was done “when promised, quickly, and carefully.”
