Water management protects your Pittsburgh home from foundation issues and structural damage. Our gutter installation and repair services work hand-in-hand with our roofing expertise to create a complete protection system for your home.
We handle everything from new gutter installations to repairs on existing systems. Pittsburgh's heavy rains and snowmelt require gutters that can handle substantial water flow while standing up to ice formation during our harsh winters. Our team installs properly sized gutters with appropriate downspout placement to move water safely away from your home's foundation and landscaping.
Real Value: Quality Roofing That Fits Your Budget
We've built Real Roofing around a simple belief: Pittsburgh homeowners shouldn't have to choose between quality and affordability. Our reasonable rates reflect our position as a local company without the overhead costs of large corporations, while our Owens Corning preferred contractor status gives you access to premium materials and extended warranties typically reserved for much larger projects.
Straightforward Pricing You Can Trust
Every estimate we provide breaks down exactly what you're paying for — materials, labor, permits, and cleanup. No surprise charges will appear after we start work. We discuss our flexible financing options upfront so you can make the best decision for your family's budget. This honest approach has earned us a reputation throughout Pittsburgh as a roofing contractor homeowners can trust.
Workmanship That Stands Behind Every Project
Our 10-year workmanship guarantee exceeds industry standards and backs every installation we complete. Combined with manufacturer warranties on materials, you receive comprehensive protection for your roofing investment. We follow precise installation techniques that maximize your roof's performance in Pittsburgh's challenging climate.
Two Decades of Pittsburgh Roofing Knowledge
Having worked on roofs throughout the Pittsburgh area for over 20 years, we know the specific challenges each neighborhood presents. Historic Shadyside homes require different considerations than newer builds in Peters Township. We handle all permitting requirements, understand local building codes, and recommend materials based on your home's architecture and your area's typical weather patterns. This experience means your project gets done right the first time.
Superior Materials and Ironclad Quality Assurance
As an Owens-Corning preferred contractor, Real Roofing provides access to industry-leading materials backed by exceptional warranties. This exclusive status allows us to offer:
Extended material warranties up to 50 years with 100% coverage.
Industry-leading 10-year workmanship guarantee that exceeds industry standards.
Comprehensive system protection covering all roofing components.
The quality of your roofing materials matters significantly in Pittsburgh's climate. Our region experiences everything from heavy snow loads to summer storms and significant temperature fluctuations. Inferior materials simply can't withstand these conditions long-term, leading to premature failure and costly repairs.
We select materials specifically engineered to perform in Pittsburgh's challenging environment:
Wind-resistant shingles rated for our region's seasonal gusts.
Ice and water shields that prevent winter damage.
Enhanced underlayment providing additional moisture protection.
Advanced ventilation systems that extend roof life and improve energy efficiency.
When we install your residential roof, we're not just putting materials on your home—we're implementing a complete protection system designed for decades of reliable performance in Pittsburgh's unique climate.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
This depends on several factors, including your roof's age, extent of damage, and condition. Generally, if your asphalt shingle roof is over 20 years old, showing widespread deterioration (curling shingles, bald spots, or multiple leaks), or has suffered storm damage, a roof replacement may be more cost-effective. During our roof inspection, we'll provide an honest assessment and explain all your options, whether that's targeted repairs or a full roofing replacement for your Pittsburgh home.
-
Between professional roof inspections, Pittsburgh homeowners can perform several simple maintenance tasks. Regularly cleaning gutters prevents water backup that could damage your roof's edge. After severe weather, take a moment to look for obvious signs of damage from ground level using binoculars. Our team can provide more specific maintenance recommendations based on your particular roofing system and Pittsburgh's seasonal weather challenges.
