Roofers in Point Breeze, Pittsburgh
Point Breeze has large early 20th century homes near Frick Park, with slate and shingle roofs, deep overhangs and many mature trees. Keeping these roofs right means paying attention to the details at the edges.
Eaves and old wood trim
Deep overhangs are beautiful, but water that gets behind a gutter can rot soffits and rafter tails for years before anyone notices. Paint peeling along the roof edge is the first sign. Have a look at soffit and fascia repair for how we handle it.
When an old trim detail is worth saving, we can repair it in wood before wrapping or repainting.

Questions for roofers in Point Breeze
What should roofers check under the deep eaves in Point Breeze?
Whether water has got behind the gutters. On deep Point Breeze overhangs, that can rot soffits and rafter tails for years, and peeling paint along the roof edge is the first sign. Old wood trim can often be repaired before repainting.
What does a chimney crown do on a Point Breeze house?
It caps the top of the brick and sheds rain away from the flue and masonry. Pennsylvania's current code, as of 2026, calls for a concrete, metal or stone cap, sloped to shed water, with a drip edge. A cracked crown on a large Point Breeze chimney lets water into the brick from the top.
Can you reuse roof slates on a Point Breeze house?
Often, if they are sound. The National Park Service says salvaged slates should be sounded for cracks first and should match the old slate in size, texture and weathered color. Slates worn on the underside usually can't be flipped over and reused.
How often do gutters need to be cleaned near Frick Park?
Often enough that leaves never pile up, which under Point Breeze's mature trees usually means late fall and again in spring. The National Park Service notes that clogged gutters back water up under the roofing, where it rots fasteners and sheathing.
