Roofers in East Liberty, Pittsburgh
East Liberty mixes older brick houses, apartment buildings and commercial blocks with a lot of recent redevelopment. Our roofing work here covers both a homeowner's leak and a low-slope roof over a storefront.
Parapets and older commercial roofs
Parapet walls leak at the top, not just at the base. If the coping joints have opened up, water gets down inside the wall and shows up floors below. It can look exactly like a roof leak.
Owners of mixed-use buildings should see our commercial roofing page. It explains how we plan work around tenants and shop hours.

Questions for roofers in East Liberty
Do roofers in East Liberty work on flat apartment roofs?
Yes. We repair and replace low-slope roofs on older houses and apartment buildings, along with the parapet walls around them. Most replacements run $9 to $15 per square foot.
What is coping on an East Liberty parapet wall?
The cap along the top of a parapet wall. The building code in force in 2026 requires parapets to be coped or covered with weatherproof material at least as wide as the wall, with a top that drains. On older East Liberty blocks, open joints in that cap let water down inside the wall.
What does a roofing contractor do?
We repair and replace roofs, along with the flashing, gutters and ventilation that go with them. Good roofers also tell you honestly when a repair is enough.
What does TPO in roofing mean?
Thermoplastic polyolefin, a single-ply roofing membrane. Its seams are welded with hot air rather than glued, and it is common on newer East Liberty buildings.
