Roof repair and storm help for Greenfield's hillside homes
Greenfield is a residential neighborhood built on hillside streets in Pittsburgh's East End. Straight A Exterior Renovations offers roof repair, storm damage repair, insurance claim help and roof replacement to Greenfield homeowners.
On a hill, a house is more exposed to the weather. Wind comes up the slope with fewer obstacles, and rain runs off the roof and across the lot toward the homes below. A small storm problem, like a few lifted shingles or a gutter that pulled loose, can turn into a leak or a wet basement quickly.
If a storm has hit your roof, we inspect it for free, photograph the damage and help you decide whether to file a claim. If the damage is covered, we work with your insurance company and adjuster from start to finish. Not every problem is storm related, though. Older roofs on hillside homes also wear out from years of freeze-thaw, shade and runoff. We tell you which is which, because it matters for a claim.
Local know-how
How hillside living affects Greenfield roofs
Hillside homes face particular challenges, both in how the weather reaches them and in how a crew can safely reach the roof.
Wind, runoff and falling limbs are the three things we check for first after a storm on a sloped street.
Wind exposure on slopes
Houses on hillsides can take more direct wind from storms. Shingle edges, ridges and roof corners are the first places to lift.
Steep lots and tricky access
Uneven ground and steps up to the house affect ladder placement and how materials and debris move. We plan that during the estimate.
Drainage downhill
Water from your roof has to go somewhere. On a slope, gutters and downspouts need to direct it away from your foundation and your neighbor's.
Trees on hillsides
Wooded slopes put trees close to many roofs. Limbs that come down in storms are a frequent cause of damage.

Our process
Storm to finished roof, step by step in Greenfield
On sloped lots and stepped walkways, we plan safe ladder footing and a clear path for materials and debris before work starts.
- Step 1
Free inspection
We check shingle edges, ridges, gutters and any limb damage, and photograph it. We also note how the crew will reach a house up a set of steps.
- Step 2
Detailed written estimate
The quote separates storm damage from general wear, because that difference matters for a claim, and lists every item line by line.
- Step 3
Insurance assistance for storm damage
If the damage is from a storm, we help you report it and work with your insurer and adjuster, comparing their report with what we found.
- Step 4
Installation
Ladders are set on safe footing on the slope, materials move along a planned path, and edges and ridges are fastened for wind.
- Step 5
Cleanup and final walk-through
We bring debris down the steps, check that gutters and downspouts send water away from your foundation, and walk the property with you.
- Step 6
Warranty activation
Once complete, your roofing materials are under a lifetime product warranty and the installation under our 2-year workmanship guarantee.
FAQ
Questions from Greenfield homeowners
How do I know if my roof has storm damage?
Look for missing or lifted shingles, shingle pieces in the yard, dented gutters or vents, and new stains on ceilings. Some damage is only visible from the roof, so we offer a free inspection with photos.
A storm just came through Greenfield. Who should I call first?
If water is coming in, call us first so we can protect the roof; emergency roofing is available 24/7. Otherwise, a free inspection before you file tells you whether there is real storm damage to report. We photograph what we find, help you file and then work with your adjuster.
What if the adjuster's estimate seems too low?
Tell us. We compare the adjuster's report with what we found on the roof, and if damage was missed we point it out and back it up with our photos and notes. We do not negotiate your settlement, but we help you make the case.
A storm just tore off part of my roof. What now?
Call us any time. We offer 24/7 emergency roofing to tarp the roof and stop the water. The permanent repair follows once the weather allows.
Can you reach a house that sits up a long set of steps?
Yes. We plan access during the estimate, including how materials go up and debris comes down.
