We’ve been climbing roofs in Cranberry Township since 1984. We know the 16066 zip code well - from the mature subdivisions off Route 228 to the acreage properties along the Franklin Park border. Pete Navarro started this company on the principle that a roof should be done once and done right, and that hasn’t changed in over 42 years. We don’t chase storms. We don’t subcontract to crews who won’t be here next season. We hire local, train apprentices into journeymen, and plan to be serving Cranberry Township homeowners for decades to come.
The roofing needs here are specific. Cranberry’s explosive growth from roughly 1988 to 2008 produced thousands of similarly-aged large colonials and two-story homes whose original architectural shingles are now hitting that 20-30-year replacement window all at once. Unlike Pittsburgh’s mixed-vintage inner-ring suburbs, Cranberry’s compressed development timeline means we’re working an unusually dense wave of same-era full replacements - neighborhood by neighborhood, not one-off patch jobs. That’s why our Roof Replacement & Installation team keeps dedicated crews and equipment positioned for Butler County response.

Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Cranberry Township
Full Roof Replacement
Most full replacements we do in Cranberry Township are on those large 1990s and early-2000s colonials with complex hip-and-valley rooflines. The original architectural shingles are failing, but often the bigger problem is the flashing. Those original lead and aluminum step flashings at valley intersections are now 25-30 years old and failing before the field shingles - a pattern we see constantly in neighborhoods like Franklin Farms and Thorn Hill. We strip to deck, inspect every sheet, and re-flash every valley with modern materials. Done right. And if it’s not, we make it right.
New Construction Roofing
New builds along Cranberry Woods Drive and the Route 228 corridor need proper flat and low-slope systems for commercial spaces, plus steep-slope residential work that matches the township’s aesthetic standards. We coordinate with builders on drainage, ventilation, and material specs. Our crews understand the tighter timelines new construction demands.
Asphalt Shingle Installation
Asphalt remains the workhorse for Cranberry Township’s residential market. We install GAF Timberline HDZ, CertainTeed Landmark, and Owens Corning Duration - proper materials, no substitutions. For the acreage properties with detached workshops and heavy-duty structures, we specify reinforced underlayment and upgraded fasteners to handle the extra load and snow accumulation at Cranberry’s 1,100-foot elevation. We recently completed a full replacement on a large colonial in Thorn Hill where the owner’s detached workshop had a 16-foot garage door with heavy torsion springs. We installed a GAF Timberline HDZ system with reinforced underlayment and coordinated our truck placement for the long service drive to avoid disturbing mature landscaping.
Metal Roofing
Metal makes sense for Cranberry Township’s heavier snow loads and for homeowners who plan to stay put. Standing seam and metal shingle systems shed snow better than asphalt, resist the 30-plus freeze-thaw cycles per season, and last 40-60 years. We see growing interest in metal for detached workshops and outbuildings on acreage properties, where the long service drives make “do it once” especially appealing.

Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Cranberry Township Homes
- Valley flashing failure ahead of shingle wear. The complex hip-and-valley rooflines on Cranberry’s 1990s colonials concentrated flashing at numerous interior valleys. Original step flashings are failing before shingles, so leak calls originate at valley intersections - pushing jobs toward full replacement and re-flashing rather than targeted repairs.
- Ice dam damage at eaves. Cranberry’s 1,100-1,200 foot elevation and exposure to western PA’s wet winters create prime conditions for ice dams. Water backs up under shingles, saturates decking, and rots fascia. Proper ice-and-water shield and ventilation correction are essential on replacement jobs.
- Insufficient reinforcement on workshop attachments. Acreage properties with detached workshops often have roof structures that weren’t originally engineered for current loads. We see premature shingle wear and sagging at attachment points where reinforcement was skipped.
- DIY repairs creating leak pathways. Self-reliant homeowners attempting partial fixes on complex hip-valley roofs often disturb already-failing flashings, inadvertently opening new leak paths. By the time we arrive, a localized valley issue has spread.

What moves you within these ranges: roof size and pitch, number of valleys and dormers, decking condition, ventilation upgrades needed, and material grade. Cranberry’s steep-pitched colonials with multiple dormers run toward the higher end due to labor intensity and flashing complexity. We provide no-hassle upfront pricing - the number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. Call (844) 563-1816 for a free, exact quote.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Cranberry Township
We specify GAF Timberline HDZ or CertainTeed Landmark Pro with full synthetic underlayment and six-nail fastening patterns for structures with heavy doors and potential snow load concentration. The reinforced system handles the extra weight and the 30-plus freeze-thaw cycles at Cranberry’s elevation. Call (844) 563-1816 and we’ll assess your specific roof structure - estimates are free.
We replace failed step flashing with pre-bent aluminum or copper valley liners, sealed with ice-and-water shield underlayment, not the original exposed lead or simple W-valley metal. This handles the volume of water that Cranberry’s wet winters dump on those concentrated intersections. Most valley re-flashing is included in our full replacement quotes.
The higher elevation means heavier snow loading, more ice dam potential, and faster thermal cycling than Pittsburgh’s lower basin. We specify materials with higher wind ratings and better cold-weather flexibility, and we always install ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys - code minimum isn’t sufficient for this microclimate.
We do not charge separate haul fees for long drives within our standard service area. We plan equipment staging and material delivery to protect your driveway and landscaping - something we learned handling Cranberry’s acreage properties. The estimate covers the complete job, site conditions included.
At 26-27 years, those original shingles are at end of life, and the valley flashing is likely failing systemically. Repairing one valley often just moves the leak to the next failing intersection within a season or two. We typically recommend full replacement with complete re-flashing for Franklin Farms homes of that vintage - it’s the square deal that lasts. Call (844) 563-1816 for an honest assessment.
