Big wooded lots 20 miles east of the city

Murrysville is unusual among the places we serve: it is neither a borough nor a township but a home rule municipality, chartered in 1976, which is why you will see it written as the Municipality of Murrysville. It covers nearly 37 square miles along Route 22 at the Westmoreland and Allegheny county line, sits at about 1,100 feet, and holds around 21,000 people. Low density and high ground, in other words, with houses set well back on wooded acreage.

It has a genuine claim on local history too. In 1878 the Haymaker brothers drilled one of the country's first commercial natural gas wells here, which is a better piece of trivia than most towns get.

A mature suburb, not a growth market

The median Murrysville home was built in 1979, and roughly 62 percent of the municipality's housing went up between 1960 and 1999, with the 1970s the single largest decade. Fewer than 20 percent of homes date from 2000 or later, and almost nothing has been built since 2020. This is a re-roof and re-side market rather than a new-construction one, and the work reflects it: split-levels, ranches, and colonials on large lots, in a mix of brick, vinyl, and cedar-derived siding, most of it now on its second exterior at best.

Elevation is part of the calculation. Murrysville sits higher than Pittsburgh and the ground keeps climbing east toward Chestnut Ridge, so snow sits longer here and ice damming at the eaves is a more regular complaint than it is closer to the city.

Trees are the main variable

The wooded, ridge-and-hollow terrain that makes Murrysville attractive is also what wears out its roofs and gutters. Limb strike during summer storms, constant leaf load in the fall, and moss and algae on shaded north-facing slopes are the three problems we are called for most often here.

On large lots with long drives, access has to be planned in advance. We walk the staging and the property protection during the estimate rather than working it out with a truck already in your driveway.

Why does my Murrysville roof grow moss when my friend's in the city does not?

Tree cover and elevation. Heavy canopy keeps north-facing slopes damp long after a more open roof has dried, and Murrysville sits higher and holds snow longer than Pittsburgh does. Algae-resistant shingles and proper gutter drainage both help.

Yes. We cover the whole municipality, including the Export area, along with neighboring Delmont and the Plum and Monroeville side of the county line.
