Roofers in Sewickley, PA
Sewickley is an Ohio River village with fine older homes, many with slate roofs, copper details and big old trees. Work here calls for a careful touch and materials that suit the house.
Copper and slate details
Copper valleys and gutters can last decades, but seams and soldered joints eventually open. Don't let anyone coat them in tar. They can usually be repaired or replaced in the same material, keeping the character of the house.

Questions for roofers in Sewickley
Do roofers in Sewickley repair copper gutters?
Yes. Copper gutters and valleys on older Sewickley homes can usually be repaired or replaced in copper rather than coated in tar. Slate around them can often be repaired too, usually for $600 to $2,500.
What nails to use with copper flashing on a Sewickley home?
Copper nails, or another metal that is compatible with copper. The National Park Service notes that steel nails in copper sheet cause galvanic corrosion, which shortens the life of good copper on an older Sewickley house.
How long do copper gutters last?
Often 50 years or more, if the seams are looked after and the gutters are kept clear of leaves.
How long can slate roofs last?
Good hard slate can last 75 to 100 years or more. If most of it is sound, repairs cost a fraction of a new roof and keep the look of a Sewickley home.
