Roof and Exterior Work for Banksville Homes
Straight A Exterior Renovations offers roof replacement, gutters, siding and window replacement for homeowners in Banksville, Pittsburgh. Banksville has a more suburban feel than many city neighborhoods, with mid-century homes on wider lots. Many of those houses are now on a second or third roof, with original gutters and older windows that have been in place for a long time.
For many Banksville homeowners, the question is not one leak but what to update and in what order. We inspect the roof, gutters, siding and windows for free, explain what is worn and what still has life in it, and put it all in a line-by-line written quote so you can plan.
You choose the materials and color, and nothing starts until you approve the quote.
Local know-how
What Banksville's Mid-Century Homes Need
Mid-century houses tend to have simpler, wider rooflines than older city homes, which makes them good candidates for efficient roof replacements. The bigger concerns are usually age, ventilation and drainage.
Long, simple rooflines
Broad roofs with fewer valleys are straightforward to replace, and many roof replacements like these are finished in a single day, weather permitting.
Attic ventilation
Poor attic airflow can shorten shingle life and contribute to ice at the eaves in winter. We check intake and exhaust vents during the inspection.
Mature yard trees
Trees planted decades ago now drop leaves and seed pods into gutters and limbs onto roofs during storms. Gutter guards and trimming back overhanging branches help.

FAQ
Questions from Banksville homeowners
Should I replace my roof and gutters at the same time?
Often it makes sense, especially if the gutters are old, because the roof edge and gutters work together. We will tell you honestly if your gutters still have life in them.
Can you check my attic ventilation?
Yes. During the free inspection we look at the intake and exhaust vents and let you know if ventilation should be improved as part of a roof replacement.
Do gutter guards really help with leaves?
They cut down on how often gutters clog from leaves and debris, which matters with mature trees nearby. Gutters still benefit from an occasional check.
Can you put a roof on my new addition?
Yes. We install roofs on new builds and additions and tie them into the existing roof so they shed water properly.
What does the warranty cover?
You get a lifetime product warranty on the roofing materials and our own 2-year workmanship guarantee on the installation.
