About Our Work in Johnstown

Roof Replacement and Repair Across Cambria County

We handle roof replacement and roof repair throughout Johnstown and the surrounding towns in Cambria and northern Somerset counties. Our crews work on the steep hillside lots and narrow streets found in neighborhoods such as Moxham, Kernville, Cambria City, and Westmont, where access requires careful planning around the older steel-mill-era homes.

Many of these 1900-1940 frame houses and row homes carry steep-pitch roofs with original slate over plank decking and brick chimneys. Heavy snow loads and ice dams from Laurel Highlands winters create recurring issues at eaves and valleys, which is why we inspect decking condition, chimney flashing, step flashing, and attic ventilation balance before any work is planned.

  • Full tear-off roof replacement on steep-pitch homes with plank decking re-sheathing where needed
  • Slate-to-shingle conversion that includes new underlayment, ice and water shield, and drip edge
  • Flashing work at chimneys, walls, and valleys plus pipe boot replacement during repairs
  • Attic ventilation upgrades with ridge vent and soffit intake vents to balance airflow
  • Repairs for wind-driven missing shingles, hail bruising, and ice dam leaks in areas like South Fork and Windber

Why Choose Us for Roof Replacement

Our crews perform roof replacement and roof repair on steel-mill-era homes throughout Downtown Johnstown, Moxham, Westmont, and Richland Township, where steep pitches, plank decking, and heavy snow loads are common.

✦

Full Tear-Off to the Deck

We remove every layer down to the plank decking on homes in Kernville and Cambria City so new underlayment lies flat.

✦

Plank Decking Inspection

Our crews check every board on steep hillside lots in Hornerstown and replace soft sections with OSB before installing new shingles.

✦

Ice and Water Shield Placement

We install ice and water shield at all eaves and valleys to guard against ice dams that form during long Cambria County winters.

✦

Rebuilt Chimney Flashing

We fabricate new step flashing and counter-flashing around brick chimneys on Westmont homes instead of reusing old metal.

✦

Magnetic Nail Sweep Cleanup

After every job on narrow streets in Moxham and Oakhurst our crews run a magnetic sweep to collect nails from tight yards and sidewalks.

✦

Weekday Service Hours

We work Monday through Friday from 9am to 9pm across Johnstown, Geistown, Windber, and Ebensburg.

Roof Replacement FAQs — Johnstown, PA

Still have questions? We're happy to talk it through.

(814) 992-6091
+ Should I repair or replace my roof?
Many Johnstown homes with original slate or aging shingles on steep hillside lots benefit from roof replacement when leaks or widespread granule loss appear, while smaller roof repair jobs address isolated wind damage or slipped slate.
+ What signs show a roof is at the end of its life?
Curling shingles, missing sections after storms, cracked slate, and sagging decking on frame houses in Moxham or Kernville often indicate it is time for roof replacement rather than repeated roof repair.
+ Can an old slate roof be replaced with shingles?
Yes, slate-to-shingle conversion is common on early 1900s homes throughout Cambria County where original slate has cracked or slipped under years of freeze-thaw cycles and snow load.
+ What happens to plank decking during a roof replacement?
Our crews inspect plank decking on row homes and duplexes in Westmont and Richland Township and re-sheath with OSB or plywood where water damage or sagging has occurred before installing new underlayment and shingles.
+ How do ice dams cause leaks?
Heavy snow on steep-pitch roofs in the Laurel Highlands melts and refreezes at eaves and valleys, forcing water under shingles or slate and leading to interior leaks that often require roof repair or full roof replacement.
+ Can you roof in winter?
Our crews work through cold months in Johnstown and surrounding towns like Portage and South Fork as long as temperatures allow proper installation of ice and water shield and shingles on homes with tight access.
+ How long does a tear-off take on a steep roof?
Full tear-off and re-roof on steep-pitch homes in neighborhoods like Oakhurst or Prospect typically spans several days depending on access via narrow streets and the need to handle original slate or multiple layers.
+ What are your hours and service towns?
We are open Monday through Friday from 9am to 9pm and serve Johnstown plus Westmont, Geistown, Windber, Ebensburg, Nanty Glo, and other communities in Cambria and northern Somerset counties.
