Roofing and gutters for Highland Park homes
Highland Park's housing is largely early-1900s homes, many of them roomy two and three-storey houses on streets near the park and the reservoir. Straight A Exterior Renovations offers roof replacement, roof repair, gutters with gutter guards and siding to Highland Park homeowners in Pittsburgh.
Homes this age often still have good bones. What wears out is the roof covering, the flashing and the gutter system. On tree-lined streets, gutters take a beating every fall, and overflow can rot fascia, stain masonry and soak foundations.
We look at the roof and the roof edge together. You get a free inspection with photos from up top, a line-by-line written quote and a dedicated project manager. You choose the materials and colors, and nothing starts until you approve the quote.
Local know-how
What Highland Park homes need from a roofer
Taller, older homes with mature trees nearby put a lot of demand on the roof edge: the eaves, gutters, fascia and downspouts. That is where we often find the first signs of trouble.
Two and three-storey homes
Taller homes need proper ladder and safety setup, and gutters that are hard for homeowners to reach and clean themselves.
Leaf load from mature trees
Neighborhoods near a large park tend to have heavy tree cover. Leaves fill gutters fast and can hold water at the roof edge.
Aging fascia and soffits
Years of gutter overflow can rot the wood behind the gutter. We check the fascia before we hang anything new.
Porches with their own roofs
Many early-1900s homes have front porches with separate roofs that need their own flashing where they meet the wall.

Our process
What to expect on a Highland Park project
For tall homes and tree-heavy lots, we set up safe access, protect porches and plantings, and clear our own debris out of the gutters.
- Step 1
Free inspection
We look at the roof and the roof edge together: shingles, flashing, porch roofs, fascia, gutters and downspouts.
- Step 2
Detailed written estimate
Your quote lists roof and gutter work line by line and notes any rotted fascia we found, so new gutters have solid wood to hang on.
- Step 3
Insurance help if a storm did the damage
When a storm or falling limb is the cause, we document it, help you report it and work with your adjuster through the claim.
- Step 4
Installation
Ladders and safety setup are planned for the height of the house. Porches and plantings are protected, and roof and gutters can be tied in together.
- Step 5
Cleanup and walkthrough
We clean our debris out of the gutters and the yard, run a final inspection and walk the property with you.
- Step 6
Warranty activation
Once the work is done, the lifetime product warranty on roofing materials and Straight A's 2-year workmanship guarantee take effect.
FAQ
Questions from Highland Park homeowners
Are gutter guards worth it on a house with a lot of trees?
On tree-heavy lots, guards reduce how often gutters clog and how often someone has to climb up to clean them. They do not remove all maintenance, but they cut it down a lot.
My gutters overflow even after I clean them. Why?
Overflow can come from a gutter with the wrong pitch, a clogged or undersized downspout, or a gutter pulled away from rotted fascia. We check each of those during the estimate.
Can you work safely on a three-storey home?
Yes. We plan ladder placement and safety setup for the height and pitch of your roof before the crew starts.
Do you replace rotted fascia when you install gutters?
If we find rotted wood behind the gutter, we note it in the quote. New gutters need solid wood to attach to.
Can I get roofing and gutters done at the same time?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing them together lets us tie the new roof edge and the new gutters in properly.
How can I tell if my porch roof needs work?
Watch for stains on the porch ceiling, sagging, or peeling paint where the porch roof meets the house wall. Those usually point to failed flashing or a worn low-slope surface. We check porch roofs as part of every inspection.
