A Real Cercone Roof
Start to finish on a Pittsburgh home
Every photo below is from one of our own jobs. Here is what happens between the old roof and the new one.
1Before
The worn shingle and flat roof sections before we started.
2Tear off
We strip every layer down to the wood so nothing is hidden.
3What the tear off uncovered
Once the shingles came off, the old roof boards underneath were rotted through.
4Re-sheeting
All rotted wood replaced with new sheathing before anything goes on top.
5New underlayment
Synthetic underlayment goes down over the new sheathing. Shingles never go straight onto bare wood.
6The flat roof section

7Finished

How a Roof System Works
A roof is a system, not just shingles
We install Owens Corning shingles as part of a complete system, where every layer has a job:
Seal
Ice and water barrier at the eaves and valleys plus synthetic underlayment across the deck create a waterproof layer under everything else.
Defend
Starter shingles, field shingles and hip and ridge shingles lock together to shed rain, wind and snow.
Breathe
Balanced attic ventilation, with intake vents low and exhaust vents high, keeps the attic dry in winter and cooler in summer.
Comfort
Proper attic insulation works with ventilation to cut energy loss and protect the roof from the inside.
Popular choice: Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration shingles, with bold color dimension, SureNail Technology for wind resistance, and 14 colors to choose from.
Our Process
Five phases to a flawless roof
Phase 1
Inspection and Assessment
- Drone and digital scanning to measure roof area, pitch and valleys
- Physical assessment for missing shingles, flashing damage, rotting decking, sag points and improper ventilation
- Property protection planning around landscaping, patios and driveways
Phase 2
Consultation and Proposal
- Needs assessment with photos and digital reports
- Material selection where the homeowner chooses type and colors
- Scope definition detailing underlayment, ice and water shields, flashing and vents
- A formal line item proposal with timelines, payment terms and warranty options
Phase 3
Pre Construction Planning
- Permitting and HOA checks
- Material delivery a day or two prior
- Site preparation where homeowners move vehicles and secure fragile interior wall hangings
Phase 4
The Installation Phase
- Property protection with heavy duty tarps
- Tear off to the bare wooden roof deck
- Decking repair replacing rotted plywood
- Underlayment installation with ice and water shields in high risk areas
- Shingle and flashing application including drip edges and valley linings
- Ventilation and cleanup with magnetic sweeps to catch stray nails
Phase 5
Final Quality Walk Through
- Project manager roof inspection verifying nail placement, shingle alignment and flashing seals
- Ground verification that all debris and nails are removed
- Client review with photos of the completed roof
- Project sign off with warranty registration documents
I knew the roof I wanted, picking the company was the hard part. There's a million roofing companies in Pittsburgh and I wasn't about to choose just anyone. I basically interviewed 6 companies before I landed on Cercone Exteriors. Once I met Dennis and his wife Melissa I was extremely surprised how much Melissa knew. She knew more than every other contractor that was bidding this job. I love to see a family owned business, that's who I want to support. I went with a metal roof, standing seam. Thank you Cercone Exteriors, you did a phenomenal job and I recommend this company to anyone looking for a metal roof!
