Roof Repair in Pittsburgh: What It Costs and When Repair Beats Replacement
Most Pittsburgh roof repairs run $150–$1,500 — this guide explains when repair makes sense and when replacement is the smarter call.
New Window Installation: Done Once, Done Right
Custom window installations come up in several situations: room additions, garage conversions, basement finishing, or simply cutting a new opening to improve light and ventilation in an existing room. Each scenario has its own structural and weatherproofing requirements. We handle the whole scope—framing the opening correctly, installing the window, and finishing the exterior with matching trim and caulking.
For Pittsburgh homes, moisture management is critical. Our weather sees heavy rain in spring and fall, freeze-thaw cycles through winter, and significant humidity in summer. That means the flashing detail around every window installation has to be done properly—integrated with the housewrap or drainage plane so water sheds out, not in. We use a peel-and-stick flashing membrane at the sill and flexible flashing tape at the jambs and head.
We work with standard and custom-size windows from quality manufacturers. If your opening is a non-standard size or you want a specific style—casement, awning, slider, fixed—we’ll source the right unit and install it to perform for 20+ years.

How New Window Installation Works
Step 1 — On-Site Assessment
We evaluate the rough opening or planned location, check the framing, assess load requirements, and confirm window style and size options that work for the space.
Step 2 — Window Selection
We help you choose the right window for the opening—considering ventilation needs, light, energy performance, and exterior aesthetics. Custom sizes are ordered to fit.
Step 3 — Rough Opening Prep
We confirm the opening is properly sized and framed. Sill pan flashing goes in before the window. The opening is verified level, plumb, and square.
Step 4 — Installation & Flashing
The window is set, shimmed, and secured. Flexible flashing tape integrates with the building envelope at the jambs and head. Exterior gaps are caulked.
Step 5 — Trim, Cleanup & Walkthrough
Interior and exterior trim is finished. We clean up completely and walk you through the window—operation, locks, and maintenance—before we leave.
