A full roof replacement on a typical Franklin Park colonial runs $12,000-$22,000 depending on roof complexity and material choice, and most of our Franklin Park jobs are completed in 2-4 days once materials arrive.

We’ve been driving to Franklin Park since the borough was still building out its subdivisions. We know the difference between a 1987 colonial off Nicholson Road and a 2004 build near the border with Marshall Township. That matters because the roof you’re sitting under right now was likely installed with builder-grade materials during the original construction boom, and those materials are reaching their end. Our Roof Replacement & Installation team has replaced hundreds of roofs in the 15127 zip code, and we understand the specific failure patterns that develop on Franklin Park’s complex rooflines.

Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Franklin Park
Full Roof Replacement
Full replacement is the dominant call we get in Franklin Park, and there’s a reason. The borough’s 1980s-2000s subdivisions feature substantial two-story colonials and traditional homes with multiple intersecting roof planes, step dormers, and deep eaves. These complex geometries create numerous flashing points that are now failing at scale. The original architectural shingles on many of these homes are at or past manufacturer-rated lifespan, and improper valley and dormer flashing has compounded shingle wear over decades.
We strip to deck, replace compromised sheathing, and rebuild with proper ice and water shield, valley metal, and step flashing that matches your roof’s actual geometry. A square deal: the price we quote is the price you pay. Done right - and if it is not, we make it right under our written 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Asphalt Shingles
For most Franklin Park homes, asphalt shingles remain the practical choice, but the upgrade path matters. We install GAF Timberline HDZ, Owens Corning Duration, and CertainTeed Landmark lines - all rated for the wind uplift and freeze-thaw cycles common to northern Allegheny County. On north-facing dormer valleys, we specify enhanced eave protection and stainless steel step flashing rather than the galvanized steel that came with the original build. The difference in corrosion resistance is measured in decades, not years.
We recently replaced a roof on a 1990s colonial on Wildflower Drive in Franklin Park, where the north-facing dormer valleys had failing galvanized step flashing that caused hidden deck rot. Our crew installed Owens Corning Duration shingles, upgraded to stainless steel step flashing, and addressed the ice dam risk by adding eave protection with a 10-foot ice and water shield. The homeowner now has a 50-year warranty and a roof built to handle the borough’s lake-effect snow.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing gains traction in Franklin Park for homeowners who plan to stay thirty years and want to solve the problem once. Standing seam metal sheds snow load faster than asphalt, eliminates the granular shedding that clogs Franklin Park’s gutters & accessories, and carries 40-70 year warranties. We install Atlas and Tamko metal product lines with proper concealed fasteners and thermal break clips. Cost runs higher - typically $18,000-$32,000 for a Franklin Park colonial - but the lifecycle math works for homeowners who are done with replacement cycles.
New Construction
For new builds in Franklin Park’s remaining development pockets and infill lots, we coordinate with framers and general contractors to specify roof decks, ventilation, and material packages that avoid the shortcuts common to 1990s construction. Proper ridge venting, adequate intake at soffits, and ice and water shield to code-plus standards - we specify it now so you’re not calling us for premature replacement in 2045.

Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Franklin Park Homes
- Builder-grade asphalt shingles from the 1990s reaching end-of-life. The original architectural shingles on Franklin Park’s subdivision colonials were often entry-level products with 20-25 year ratings. Those years are up. We see widespread granular loss, exposed fiberglass mat, and brittle tabs that crack in cold handling.
- Galvanized steel step flashing corroding in north-facing dormer valleys. These valleys sit in shadow all winter, never fully drying. The original galvanized flashing loses its zinc protection and rusts through from behind, causing hidden wood rot that only appears once shingles are stripped.
- Ice dam formation in multi-valley dormer configurations. Franklin Park’s northern Allegheny County elevation and position relative to Lake Erie means measurably more lake-effect snow than Pittsburgh proper. Freeze-thaw cycles are frequent enough that ice damming is a recurring structural concern, not a rare event, especially where dormers create multiple valley junctions.
- Inadequate original ventilation shortening shingle life. Many 1980s-90s Franklin Park builds specified minimal ridge venting and blocked soffit intake. Heat and moisture build in attic spaces, baking shingles from below and accelerating thermal cycling damage.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Franklin Park
They sit in shadow all winter, never fully drying, while Franklin Park’s lake-effect snow load and frequent freeze-thaw cycles force moisture into every seam. The original galvanized steel step flashing corrodes from behind, and the damage is hidden until shingles are removed. We upgrade to stainless steel step flashing and extend ice and water shield minimum 10 feet up valleys on every Franklin Park replacement. Call (844) 563-1816 if you’re seeing stains on cathedral ceilings or dormer walls - estimates are free.
Owens Corning Duration or GAF Timberline HDZ with full ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, plus stainless steel flashing upgrades. Both lines carry 50-year limited warranties and are rated for the wind uplift common to northern Allegheny County. The critical upgrade is not the shingle brand but the underlayment and flashing specification - we see too many Franklin Park roofs with premium shingles failing because the ice and water shield stopped at code minimum. We go code-plus on every job. Call (844) 563-1816 for material samples and an exact quote.
Properly installed asphalt shingles with correct ventilation and flashing should last 25-30 years on a Franklin Park colonial; metal roofing 40-70 years. The key variable is installation quality on complex geometries - valleys must be woven or closed-cut correctly, step flashing must be integrated with housewrap, and intake ventilation must balance exhaust. We warranty our workmanship for 90 days with our Done Right Promise, and manufacturer material warranties extend to 50 years on premium lines. Call (844) 563-1816 to discuss which specification fits your timeline and budget.
Sometimes, but rarely on roofs past 20 years. To replace step flashing properly, shingles must be removed two courses up the valley and along the dormer cheek. If surrounding shingles are brittle or near end-of-life, the repair disturbs more than it saves, and the color match is never exact. We assess this honestly - if Franklin Park roof repair makes sense, we quote it. If the roof is within five years of replacement, we tell you. No pressure, just the straight answer. Call (844) 563-1816 for an inspection - estimates are free.
$12,000-$22,000 for asphalt shingles on a typical two-story colonial with multiple valleys and dormers. Metal standing seam runs $18,000-$32,000. The spread depends on roof pitch, deck condition, material tier, and whether we find hidden rot when stripping. We provide itemized written estimates before work begins, and the number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. Call (844) 563-1816 for your specific quote - estimates are free, and we answer live 24/7.
