Roof Repair or Roof Replacement?
Not every roof problem needs a new roof. A few missing shingles, a leak around one vent or a small area of storm damage can usually be repaired. When damage is spread across the roof, leaks keep coming back after repairs, or the roof is near the end of its life, replacement is the smarter investment.
Age matters too. Most asphalt roofs in Pittsburgh start showing their age around 20 years, after decades of snow, ice along the eaves and freeze and thaw cycles. Our free inspection gives you a straight answer and photos of what we found, so you can decide with confidence.

Signs Your Roof Needs to Be Replaced
These are the signs we look for during an inspection. If you see two or more, it's time to have your roof checked.
- Shingles that are curling, cracking or missing in several areas
- Heavy granule loss in the gutters or bare spots on the shingles
- Leaks that keep coming back after repairs
- Soft spots or sagging that point to damaged decking
- Daylight or water stains in the attic
- A roof that's around 20 years old or older

Why Pittsburgh Roofs Wear Out Faster
Pittsburgh is hard on roofs. Winters bring repeated freeze and thaw cycles, where melting snow seeps under shingles and refreezes overnight, prying them up a little more each time. Ice builds along the eaves, heavy snow sits on low slopes, and summer storms bring wind and hail.
Our housing stock adds to it. Many homes in the city and older boroughs have steep roofs, dormers, chimneys and valleys that leak first when flashing fails, and hillside lots catch more wind. On a Mt. Washington home we paired Atlas Black Shadow shingles with new copper chimney flashing for exactly that reason.
- Ice and water shield at every eave and valley
- New flashing at chimneys, walls and dormers
- Ventilation sized to keep the attic dry year round

What Affects the Cost of a Roof Replacement?
Every roof is different, so we price every job after a free inspection instead of guessing over the phone. These are the factors that move the number most:
- Size and pitch of the roof
- Material and shingle line you choose
- Number of old layers that come off
- Decking that needs to be replaced
- Chimneys, skylights, dormers and valleys
- Access to the roof and the job site
Your written estimate spells out every line, so there are no surprises. For a deeper look, read how much a new roof costs in Pittsburgh and what to do when you can't afford a new roof.

Every roof we install is covered by our labor warranty on the workmanship, plus the manufacturer warranty on the roofing system you choose. As an Atlas Platinum Pro contractor, we can offer Atlas's 50 year warranty on complete Atlas roof systems. We explain exactly what is covered in your estimate.

Roof Replacement Questions
Straight answers to the questions homeowners ask us most.
How do I know if I need a roof replacement or just a repair?
If the damage is limited to a small area, a repair is usually enough. Widespread curling or missing shingles, heavy granule loss, repeated leaks, soft decking or a roof around 20 years old usually mean replacement is the better investment. Our free inspection will give you a straight answer.
Do you tear off the old roof or install over it?
We recommend a full tear off. Removing the old layers lets us inspect and replace damaged decking, install ice and water shield and new flashing, and keep your manufacturer warranty intact.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements take 2 to 5 days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof and the weather.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Pittsburgh?
Cost depends on the size and pitch of your roof, the material you choose, how many layers come off and whether any decking needs to be replaced. Your free estimate spells out every line.
What is the 25% roof rule?
The 25% rule comes from building codes in some states, best known in Florida, that require replacing a whole roof section when more than 25% of it's damaged. Pennsylvania has no statewide 25% rule, but insurance policies vary, so we explain whether a repair or replacement makes sense during your free inspection.
When is the best time to replace a roof in Pittsburgh?
Late spring through fall offers the most reliable weather for shingles to seal, but we work all winter when conditions allow. Read our guide on the best time of year to replace a roof in Pittsburgh for more detail.
What happens if you find rotted decking?
Rotted or soft decking is replaced before the new roof goes on. We show you what we found so you know exactly what was replaced and why.
What roofing materials do you install?
We install asphalt shingles, metal, slate and wood shakes on homes, plus TPO, EPDM and PVC on flat and low slope roofs. We're AtlasPro+ Platinum Select Certified and install complete Atlas shingle systems.
Will my homeowners insurance pay for a new roof?
If a covered event such as wind, hail or a fallen tree damaged your roof, insurance may pay for the replacement. We document the damage and work with your adjuster.
What warranties come with a new roof?
Our labor warranty covers the installation and the manufacturer warranty covers the materials. Complete Atlas systems can qualify for Atlas's 50 year warranty.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We work with a trusted regional lender to offer flexible payment plans for roof replacement and other exterior projects.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Malick Brothers Exteriors is fully licensed (PA HIC# PA174918) and carries comprehensive insurance that protects our crew and your property.
