Roofing in Allegheny County, PA.

Our home county

Shepherd and Shield Roofing is based at 235 Victoria Dr in Plum Borough, which makes Allegheny County home ground in the most literal sense. When you call us from Plum, Penn Hills, Monroeville, Verona, or Oakmont, you are calling a roofer who lives here, drives these roads every day, and can be at your house for a free inspection without planning a trip. Owner Nolan Link looks at every roof himself, writes every estimate himself, and is on site for the work. Call (814) 312-8555.

The east suburbs and what their roofs are telling us

The eastern side of Allegheny County grew in waves, and each wave is aging on its own schedule. Plum and Monroeville filled out through the 1960s, 70s, and 80s with ranches, split-levels, and two-story colonials, and a huge share of those homes are now on their second or third roof, with the most recent one often installed in the 1990s or 2000s and quietly running out of time. Penn Hills has one of the largest stocks of mid-century housing in the region, solid brick homes whose original rooflines were built with wide overhangs that put extra weather on the soffit and fascia. Verona and Oakmont, down along the Allegheny River, mix century-old frame houses on tight streets with well-kept older homes where the details matter, steep pitches, dormers, and chimneys that need real flashing work rather than a bead of caulk.

We work on all of it. The point of hiring a local, owner-run contractor is that the person quoting your roof has seen a hundred houses like yours within ten minutes of it, and knows where that specific era of construction fails first.

Weather on this side of the county

Allegheny County does not get the mountain snow that Cambria County does, but it gets everything else western Pennsylvania can throw: repeated freeze-thaw cycles that pry at shingle edges all winter, ice backing up in gutters along shaded streets, and fast summer thunderstorms that find every lifted tab and tired flashing. The mature trees that make neighborhoods like Oakmont and Penn Hills so pleasant also keep roofs shaded and damp, so moss and algae streaking show up earlier here than on open lots. We build for those conditions with ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys, balanced attic ventilation, and gutters sized to move real runoff away from the foundation.

Why neighbors hire us

Being based in Plum means the usual big-company layers are gone. There is no commissioned salesman, no call center, and no crew you have never met. Nolan inspects the roof, explains what he finds in plain language, and leaves a free written estimate that is itemized line by line, so you can compare it fairly against anyone. If your roof has a few years left, that is what you will hear. It is easier to be honest when the customer lives around the corner, and it is why the reviews read the way they do.
