- A+ Better Business Bureau Accredited
- Flexible Financing Options

Gibsonia roofs take a beating. One week it’s lake-effect snow piling up on the north slope; the next it’s a summer thunderstorm hammering shingles that froze and thawed all winter. If your roof is leaking, dropping granules in the gutters, or just getting up there in years, you want a roofing company in Gibsonia, PA that has seen what this weather does — and will tell you the truth about it.
That’s been Whalen Exteriors since 1982. We’re a family-rooted roofing and exterior contractor based nearby in Arnold, and we’ve spent 40-plus years on roofs across Treesdale, Gibsonia, and the North Hills. We’ll come take an honest look, free, and tell you what we’d do if it were our own house. You can book a free inspection any time, or call us at (724) 335-8515.
Why Gibsonia Roofs Wear Out Faster Than You'd Expect
Western Pennsylvania is rough on a roof. The freeze-thaw cycle is the big one. Water slips into a tiny crack, freezes overnight, expands, and pries things apart a little more each time. Do that a few hundred times over one winter and fasteners loosen, flashing lifts, and shingles start to curl at the edges.
Then there’s the snow. Heavy, wet, lake-effect snow sits on a roof for days. When it melts and refreezes near the eaves, you get an ice dam — a ridge of ice that traps water and forces it back up under the shingles. That’s where a lot of Treesdale leaks actually start, even when the shingles up top still look fine.
Knowing how the weather attacks a roof is half the job. The other half is being honest about what your roof actually needs.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Roof?
You don’t always need a whole new roof. A few lifted shingles, some worn flashing around a chimney, or a small leak can often be repaired — and a good repair can buy you several more years. We’ll tell you when that’s the smarter call.
A roof replacement makes more sense when the damage is widespread: large bare patches, heavy granule loss across the field, sagging, or a deck that’s started to rot underneath. A typical asphalt shingle roof in our climate lasts about 20 to 30 years, so age matters too. If yours is past 20 and giving you trouble, replacement is usually the better investment than patching the same spots over and over.
The only way to know for sure is to have someone get up there and look. That’s why our inspection is free, with no pressure to buy anything.
What to Do Now
If something feels off — a stain on the ceiling, shingles in the yard after a storm, daylight in the attic — the next move is simple. Contact Whalen Exteriors for a Free Roof Inspection. One of our crew will document everything with photos, take moisture readings where needed, and walk you through what we find before you decide anything.
Our Roofing Services in Treesdale and Gibsonia
We handle the full range of roofing work for homes and businesses across the area. Here’s what that looks like.
Residential Roofing
Your home is your biggest asset, and the roof is what protects everything under it. Our residential roofing crews install and repair roofs built for Pittsburgh weather, using shingles from IKO and Owens Corning that hold up to freeze-thaw and high wind. We follow a clear 5-step process every time: inspection, itemized proposal, prep and tear-off, installation, then cleanup and a final walkthrough with you. You'll know exactly what's happening at each stage.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles are the most popular roof in Treesdale and Gibsonia for good reason. They're affordable, they install cleanly, and architectural (high-definition) shingles look sharp while standing up well to storms. They're a solid fit for both new builds and replacements. For folks watching their energy bills, some shingle lines carry an ENERGY STAR rating that can help in summer heat. We'll show you the actual product samples so you can see and feel what's going on your home.
Metal Roofing
If you want something that lasts longer and shrugs off snow, metal is worth a look. A standing-seam metal roof sheds snow and rain instead of holding it, and it stands up to high wind better than most materials. It costs more up front, but it can outlast asphalt by decades. Metal also pairs well with energy-efficient, reflective roofing ideas if you're trying to keep cooling costs down. We'll help you pick the right type and design a system that fits your home and budget.

Gutters and Siding to Round Out the Exterior
A roof works best when the rest of the exterior is doing its job too.
Good gutter installation keeps water moving off your roof and away from your foundation. When rain gutters clog or pull loose, that water ends up in your basement and around your footers. We install seamless gutters in several styles so the water goes where it should — which also helps with everyday stormwater runoff around your property.
On the wall side, our siding installation protects your home and updates how it looks. As a VSI-certified installer, we work with quality vinyl siding and other materials chosen to last through our seasons, not just look good for a year. Doing roofing, gutters, and siding under one contractor means everything fits together — and you’re not chasing four different companies.
How Whalen Delivers — and Why It Matters
Plenty of roofers can put shingles on a roof. Here’s what you actually get with us.
Free inspections, including drone roof inspections. For steep or hard-to-reach areas — and Treesdale has its share of tall, complex roofs — we fly a drone instead of risking a fall. No scaffolding, no guesswork, and you see the photos. Choosing a registered home improvement contractor like us also protects you; the FTC even has good advice on avoiding home improvement scams before you sign anything.
A warranty stack most local roofers can’t match. You get lifetime manufacturer warranties on roofing products, a lifetime workmanship warranty on full roof systems, and a 10-year workmanship warranty on every other service.
A credential stack that backs it up. We’re Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, IKO RoofPro Select, BBB A+ rated, VSI-certified, and a GuildQuality member, carrying PA Home Improvement Contractor license PA-034738. Our crews — Shawn, Chuck, Kenny, and the rest — work on your home like it’s their own, and our customers say so. We hold a 4.9-star average across hundreds of Google reviews, and we’d rather earn the next one than rush a job. Safety isn’t an afterthought either; we follow OSHA roofing safety standards on every site, and we build roofs with FEMA’s wind-damage guidance in mind.

FAQs About Roofing in Treesdale and Gibsonia
A roof replacement in Gibsonia typically runs between $9,500 and $16,000. The final number depends on the size of your roof, the pitch, and the material you choose — metal and premium shingles cost more than standard asphalt. Every roof is different, so a free inspection gives you an exact, itemized quote.
Asphalt shingles are by far the most popular roofing choice in Treesdale and Gibsonia. Homeowners like them because they’re affordable, durable enough for our freeze-thaw winters, and come in styles and colors that fit almost any home.
