Roof replacement for Point Breeze's larger homes
Point Breeze is home to many large early-1900s houses on wide, tree-lined streets near Frick Park. Straight A Exterior Renovations provides roof replacement, roof repair, storm damage repair and siding for Point Breeze homeowners.
A roof on a house this size is a big decision. There are more planes, more flashing and more ways for the job to go wrong if it is rushed. We take the time up front to understand the roof: what is on it now, what is underneath, and where water has already found its way in.
From there, you get choices. Asphalt shingle and metal roofing are both options for pitched roofs, and we explain how each fits your home. You pick the material and color, and nothing starts until you approve the quote.
Local know-how
What Point Breeze roofs have in common
Larger early-1900s homes often have tall roofs with several sections, large chimneys and porches. Many have also had decades of repairs.
Large, multi-section roofs
Main roofs, wings, porches and dormers each need to be planned, ordered and flashed correctly. A good quote breaks those out.
Older decking
On homes this age, the boards under the shingles may need repair in places. We check during tear-off and only replace what is damaged.
Trees near Frick Park
Mature trees shade many lots. Shade keeps roofs damp longer, and limbs are a risk in strong summer storms.
Attic ventilation
Older homes were not always built with modern roof ventilation in mind. Poor airflow can shorten shingle life and add to ice dams.

Six steps to a new roof in Point Breeze
On large lots with mature landscaping, we tarp lawns and beds around the whole house and pick up every nail before the final walk-through.

Itemized written estimate
The quote breaks out each section, explains shingle and metal options, and shows how any extra decking is handled.
- Step 3
Insurance assistance for storm damage
If wind or a fallen limb caused the damage, we document it and work with your insurance company and adjuster through the claim.
- Step 4
Installation
The crew protects the lawn and beds on all sides, replaces only the decking that is damaged, and installs any ventilation work in your quote.

Cleanup and walkthrough
We sweep the whole lot for nails, complete a final quality check and walk around the house with you.

Warranty activation
The lifetime product warranty on roofing materials and our 2-year workmanship guarantee begin when your project manager closes out the job.
FAQ
Questions from Point Breeze homeowners
Should I choose shingles or metal for a large older home?
Both can work well. Shingles offer a wide range of colors and a familiar look. Metal roofing is another option for pitched roofs. We explain how each would look and perform on your house and let you decide.
What happens if you find bad decking during tear-off?
We show you photos of the damaged boards and replace only what needs it. How additional decking is handled is laid out in your quote so there are no surprises.
Can you improve attic ventilation during a roof replacement?
Ventilation is something we check during the inspection. If airflow is poor, we include the ventilation work in your quote.
A tree limb fell on my roof. What should I do first?
Stay safe and stay out of the attic if the ceiling is sagging. Call us. We offer 24/7 emergency tarping to stop the water, then we document the damage for your insurance claim.
How long does a large roof replacement take?
Many replacements are done in a single day, weather permitting, but a large roof with several sections can take longer. Your project manager will give you a realistic schedule.
