We’ve been working Greentree’s post-war neighborhoods since 2016. We know the borough’s steep lots along Chartiers Creek, the mid-century ranches on Parsley Lane and Greentree Road, and the chronic problems that come with sixty-year-old built-up roofs over low-slope garages. Our Specialty Roofing team doesn’t guess at hillside scaffolding costs or valley flashing details. We’ve done the work. We price it upfront. And we stand behind it with a written 90-Day Done Right Promise.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained in-house, not pulled from a temp pool. When we inspect a roof on a Greentree split-level, we document what we find with photos taken from your actual roof deck, not from the driveway with a telephoto lens. You see what we see.

We are authorized installers for GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and four other leading manufacturers. That means proper materials, no substitutions, and warranty coverage that travels with the home. For Greentree’s aging housing stock, that matters. Many of these 1950s and 1960s homes have had only one or two re-roofs in their entire lives. The next one needs to last.

Our Specialty Roofing Services in Greentree

Built-Up Roofing (BUR) Replacement

Many Greentree homes from the 1950s-60s still have original built-up roofs with coal-tar pitch over low-slope sections, a material that becomes brittle with age and is nearly impossible to patch today, forcing full tear-offs and deck repairs. On a 1962 split-level on Parsley Lane, we found the original BUR over the attached garage had delaminated from decades of freeze-thaw, causing interior leaks. We tore off all three layers of old felt and pitch, replaced rotted decking, and installed a new EPDM membrane with proper crickets to redirect water away from the chimney base. A typical BUR tear-off and replacement in Greentree runs $12,000-$18,500 for a two-car garage and connecting low-slope section.

EPDM Roofing

EPDM membrane is our go-to for Greentree’s low-slope garage roofs and rear additions where standing water is a risk. The black rubber holds up to Pittsburgh’s UV summers and sheds ice melt in winter. We mechanically attach or fully adhere depending on wind exposure, and we always install tapered insulation to eliminate ponding on the flat sections common over 1960s ranch additions. EPDM installations in Greentree typically range from $8,500-$14,000 for residential low-slope areas.

TPO Roofing

White TPO reflective membrane suits south-facing low-slope sections in Greentree where cooling costs are a concern, and it pairs well with solar-ready installations. The heat-welded seams hold up to the borough’s freeze-thaw cycling better than taped or glued alternatives. We see TPO specified most often on newer additions or where homeowners are converting carports to conditioned space. TPO roofing in Greentree generally costs $9,500-$16,000 depending on insulation requirements.

Modified Bitumen

For Greentree homeowners who want the familiarity of asphalt-based roofing with modern performance, modified bitumen offers two-ply redundancy and excellent puncture resistance from falling branches. It installs well on the mixed roofline geometries common in split-levels, where transitions between steep and low slope create detail work that single-ply membranes struggle to seal. Modified bitumen projects in Greentree run $10,500-$17,500.

Solar Ready Roofing

Greentree’s south-facing slopes above Chartiers Creek get solid sun exposure, and we’re seeing more homeowners plan ahead for solar. Our solar-ready installations use elevated flashing and reinforced underlayment at penetration points, so when you’re ready for panels, your roof won’t need re-flashing. We coordinate with your solar contractor on structural load and conduit routing. Solar-ready prep adds $1,200-$2,800 to a standard re-roof.

Green Roof Systems

On the handful of Greentree homes with flat-roofed additions or contemporary builds, extensive green roof systems manage stormwater, reduce heat island effect, and extend membrane life by shielding it from UV. We install the waterproofing, root barrier, drainage layer, and growing medium. Green roof systems in Greentree start around $22,000 for small residential applications.

Trusted Brands We Service in Greentree

We stock GAF and CertainTeed underlayments, flashings, and specialty membranes at our local warehouse, which means Greentree customers aren’t waiting two weeks for a roll of ice-and-water shield or a custom drip edge. Owens Corning components round out our inventory for steep-slope tie-ins where low-slope membranes meet shingled sections. Because we install seven manufacturer lines with proper authorization, your warranty registers correctly and transfers cleanly if you sell. No gray-market materials. No “equivalent” substitutions that void your coverage.

Common Specialty Roofing Problems We See in Greentree Homes

• Coal-tar pitch BUR becomes brittle and cracks, leading to widespread blistering and leaks that are unrepairable. The original built-up roofs on Greentree’s 1950s-60s ranches have exceeded their service life by decades. Patching is temporary at best. Full tear-off and membrane replacement is the only lasting fix.
• Multiple low-slope valleys over additions concentrate debris, causing ponding and premature membrane failure in TPO or EPDM if not properly sloped. Greentree’s mid-century buildout added family rooms and garages with flat or nearly flat roofs that original builders drained with interior scuppers or marginal slopes. Without tapered insulation or crickets, water sits. Membranes fail at the seams.
• Ice dams on steep north-facing slopes force water under flashings at the valley intersections, often requiring complete valley re-flashing with ice-and-water shield. The creek-valley topography traps cold air, and north faces stay frozen longer than south faces. When snow melts above and refreezes at the eave, water backs up into valleys and penetrations.
• Undersized or blocked soffits compromise attic ventilation, accelerating shingle granule loss and deck rot on the steep slopes above. Many Greentree homes were built with 2-inch soffit vents or none at all. Hot, moist air stagnates. The roof deck suffers even when the surface looks intact.
