Looking for roof repair in Mt. Lebanon? Ireland Contracting repairs roof leaks, missing and damaged shingles, failed flashing, and storm damage across Pittsburgh and Western PA. With a dedicated repair technician on staff, no repair is too small. A single slipped shingle gets the same attention as a major hail claim. We repair asphalt shingle, slate, and rubber (EPDM) roofs, and we tarp and secure storm-damaged roofs the same day whenever the call comes in during business hours.
Mt. Lebanon's houses are older than Allegheny County's as a whole: the median home here was built in 1953, and nearly a third of the municipality's houses predate 1940. Ireland Contracting roofs, sides, and replaces windows on those brick and stone Tudors and Colonials, with Owens Corning Platinum Preferred roofing crews and a repair technician who handles the small jobs older houses generate.
On Mt. Lebanon's older homes, roof leaks very often start at a brick chimney or a dormer wall, where decades-old tar has taken the place of real flashing. With a dedicated repair technician, we fix the one chimney or valley that's leaking without selling you a roof you don't need.
Caught early, a roof leak is an inexpensive repair. Left alone, it leads to rotted decking, soaked insulation, mold, and stained ceilings that cost far more to put right. Water rarely comes in where the stain shows up. It enters uphill and runs down a rafter or the underlayment first, so we trace every leak to its true source before we fix anything. You don't need to wait for a storm or an insurance claim to call about a drip.
Where Pittsburgh roofs actually leak: worn rubber pipe boots around plumbing vents, step flashing at a wall or dormer, chimney counterflashing that was tarred instead of cut in, open or rusted valleys, nail pops lifting a shingle tab, skylight curbs, and ice dams backing meltwater up under the first courses at the eaves. Most of those are an afternoon's work with the right materials, and all of them get worse with every freeze-thaw cycle.
Emergency roof repair: when wind or a fallen limb opens a roof, we prioritize it. During business hours we can be out the same day to tarp and secure the damaged area, stop the water, and photograph everything for your insurance claim before the permanent repair is scheduled. We don't run an after-hours crew. If damage happens overnight, call first thing and we'll get you on the list before the day's other work.
Storm and hail damage: after a storm we provide free damage estimates, document wind-lifted and hail-bruised shingles, meet your adjuster on the roof, and work directly with your insurance company so covered repairs are handled with minimal out-of-pocket cost. Most homeowners policies cover sudden wind, hail, and fallen-debris damage; we help substantiate the claim rather than leaving you to argue it.
Our repair work isn't limited to asphalt shingles. We repair slate roofs (matched slate replacement, flashing, and valleys) and repair or replace rubber (EPDM) membranes on flat and low-slope sections. One thing we don't do: metal roofs. If you have a standing-seam or metal panel roof, you'll want a metal specialist.
