Metal Roofing In Pittsburgh 

Pittsburgh Ready Roofing Systems

From heavy snow to summer hail, Western Pennsylvania weather can take a toll on traditional roofs. Metal roofing is designed to shed water and snow quickly while holding strong in high winds and extreme weather events. With proper installation, your roof becomes an impenetrable shield, one that looks just as good after 30 years as it did on day one. Proper installation techniques, including sealing seams, edges, and gaps with sealant and butyl tape as per manufacturer’s instructions, is crucial to prevent leaks, especially at the ridge, eave, and around all penetrations.

Standing Seam & Specialty Metal Systems

We specialize in custom-fabricated standing seam metal roofs, where the fasteners are concealed beneath the panels. Ridge caps and trim play a key role in covering gaps and ensuring a flush, finished appearance for your metal roofing system.

These systems are known for:

• Superior leak resistance

• Clean, modern lines

• Long-lasting coatings (Kynar® and PVDF finishes)

• Seamless integration with flashing, valleys, and chimneys

If you’re replacing an asphalt, slate tile, or cedar shake roof, we’ll walk you through your options to see if metal is the right fit- aesthetically, structurally, and financially. A licensed roofing contractor can help you determine when a roof should be replaced versus repaired, ensuring you make the best choice for your building.

Residential & Commercial Installations

Metal roofing isn’t just for homes. We install high-performance systems for:

• Churches and schools

• Retail centers and small businesses

• Multi-family units and HOAs

• Custom new builds and architectural projects

• Metal roofing systems are ideal for commercial buildings.

We also coordinate with custom gutter, flashing, and siding installations for a complete envelope solution. Proper attachment and fastening of steel panels and trim at the edges and eaves are essential to ensure durability and reliability for the entire roof.

Job Site Requirements

A successful metal roof installation starts long before the first panel is attached. Proper job site preparation is essential to ensure your new metal roof is installed efficiently, safely, and to the highest standards. At Prescott Roofing, we know that attention to detail at the job site can make all the difference in the final result.

First, clear and safe access to the roof is a must. This means ensuring driveways and walkways are unobstructed for delivery of metal roof panels and equipment. The job site should be organized so that materials, such as metal panels, fasteners, and underlayment are stored on level ground, protected from moisture and damage. Keeping panels off the ground and covered helps prevent scratches, dents, and rust before installation even begins.

Weather is another key factor. Metal roof installation should be scheduled during dry conditions whenever possible, as wet surfaces can be hazardous for crews and may affect the adhesion of sealants and underlayment. Windy days can also make handling large metal panels more challenging, so our team monitors forecasts closely to plan the safest and most efficient installation.

Safety is always a top priority. The job site must be kept free of debris, with clear walkways and proper fall protection in place for our installers. We use specialized tools and equipment designed for metal roofing systems, and all work areas are secured to prevent accidents.

Finally, communication and coordination with the property owner is essential. We communicate clearly about start times, parking needs, and any temporary disruptions, ensuring the installation process is as smooth as possible. With Prescott Roofing, you can expect a well-managed job site and a metal roof that’s built to last.
