Honest roofing and siding help for Hazelwood homes
Hazelwood sits along the Monongahela River, with older homes on the flats and up the hillsides. Straight A Exterior Renovations offers roof repair, roof replacement, rubber roofing, siding and gutters to Hazelwood homeowners in Pittsburgh.
Many older homes here need attention on more than one front: a roof that has been patched for years, siding that is worn or damaged, and gutters that no longer carry water away. We help you sort out what needs to be done now and what can wait.
The inspection and estimate are free. You get photos, a plain explanation and a written quote, and you decide what to do.
Local know-how
What older Hazelwood homes tend to need
Older housing near a river valley has to deal with moisture, aging materials and, on the hillside streets, the same wind and access challenges found elsewhere in the city.
Older, patched roofs
Roofs that have been patched many times can hide problems under the repairs. We inspect closely before recommending repair or replacement.
Low-slope additions and rear roofs
Rear additions and porches often have low-slope roofs that need rubber roofing, not shingles.
Worn exterior walls
Damaged or aging siding lets moisture into the walls. New siding protects the structure and refreshes the house.
River valley moisture
Homes near the river and on shaded slopes can stay damp longer, so ventilation and drainage deserve a close look.

Our process
What happens when you call us in Hazelwood
Whether your home is on the flats or up a hillside street, we plan access and protect your yard, walls and windows before work begins.
- Step 1
Free inspection
We look under old patches, check low-slope rear and porch roofs, and note damp areas where ventilation and drainage need attention.
- Step 2
Written estimate
Each item is quoted separately, so if you can only take on one project now, you can start with whatever is letting water in.
- Step 3
Insurance help, when a storm is involved
If a storm caused the damage, we document it, help you report it and work with your insurer and adjuster through the claim.
- Step 4
Installation
Yards, walls and windows are protected first. Low-slope sections get rubber roofing, and pitched roofs or siding go on as quoted.
- Step 5
Cleanup and final walkthrough
We clear every nail and piece of debris, whether your lot is level or on a hillside, and walk the property with you.
- Step 6
Warranty activation
With the job done, the lifetime product warranty on the roofing materials and Straight A's 2-year workmanship guarantee begin.
FAQ
Questions from Hazelwood homeowners
Can you just repair my roof instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. If the roof is sound overall and the problem is local, we quote a repair. If the roof is past repair, we explain why with photos.
My porch roof leaks but the main roof is fine. Can you fix just the porch?
Yes. Porch and rear roofs are often low-slope and wear out separately. We can repair or replace that section and re-flash where it meets the house.
What siding do you install?
We install vinyl siding and board and batten. During the estimate, we check the walls and trim and explain the options.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes. We come out, look at the roof and tell you what we see at no cost. If you want work done, you get a written quote and decide in your own time.
Do you help with insurance claims?
Yes. If storm damage may be covered, we document it with photos, help you report it and work with your insurance company from start to finish.
If I can only afford one project right now, what should come first?
Usually whatever is letting water in. A leaking roof or failed flashing causes damage inside the house that grows over time. We show you what we found and help you set priorities, with each item quoted separately.
