New Kensington is a river town where the Allegheny bends and the hills rise fast, and most of the housing stock tells the story: 1920s brick doubles, frame Victorians, and post-war ranches with roofs that have taken a century of snow, ice, and freeze-thaw cycles. Lots are narrow, grades are steep, and trees hang over everything from Valley Heights to Parnassus.
Homeowners in 15068 call Pittsburgh Metal Roofing because we know what these roofs go through. We have replaced slate on a Parnassus Avenue foursquare, stopped ice dams on a double near the New Kensington Bridge, and repaired wind-peeled panels after a summer storm rolled down the Allegheny. When your roof leaks at the chimney or your shingles are curling, we give you a straight answer and a metal roof that will outlast the next few decades of Pittsburgh weather.
Metal Roofing in New Kensington (15068)
New Kensington sits on the east bank of the Allegheny, and the terrain here is not flat. Many homes in the 15068 ZIP code are built into hillsides, with narrow driveways, tight side yards, and retaining walls that make access a puzzle. The housing stock is a mix of 1900s brick doubles, frame Victorians with steep gables, and mid-century ranches with low-slope porches. That means we often find layered roofing (asphalt over old shingles), failing flashings at chimneys and dormers, and fasteners that have backed out after decades of thermal movement. The clay and shale soils common in the area also shift with the seasons, which can stress roof-to-wall connections and gutters.
Our team has worked on roofs from Valley Heights to the edges of Parnassus and Lower Burrell, and we understand the local building department’s permit process for re-roofs. We know that ice dams form at the eaves when attic heat escapes, and we know how to detail a metal roof so snow and ice slide off safely, with snow guards where needed. Whether you need a full standing seam installation, a retrofit over existing shingles, or a leak repair after a storm, we bring the right materials and experience for New Kensington’s climate.

How a Job Works in New Kensington
Step 1: You call us at (412) 895-2157 or fill out our contact form, and we schedule a free on-site assessment. We will walk your roof, check the attic and flashing details, and talk through your options, whether that is a repair, a replacement, or a metal roof over your current shingles. We will also flag any permit requirements with the City of New Kensington so you know what to expect.
Step 2: Once you approve the estimate, we order materials and schedule the work. On tight hillside lots, we plan deliveries and staging carefully to avoid blocking neighbors or damaging landscaping. If your home is in a historic district or has HOA design rules, we help you get the panel profile and color approved before we start. Most residential metal roofs take two to five days, depending on weather and complexity.
Step 3: We clean up every day and do a final walkthrough with you. We use magnetic sweepers to pick up screws and debris, and we make sure gutters and downspouts are clear. You get a written warranty and a roof that is ready for New Kensington’s snow, ice, and summer storms.
Pricing for metal roofing in New Kensington depends on the size and pitch of your roof, the material you choose, and how much prep work is needed.

For repairs, metal roof leak repair starts at $450, screw replacement and re-fastening at $750, and flashing or chimney repair at $600. Snow guards start at $1,200, and gutters for metal roofs start at $9 per linear foot. We always provide a free estimate with a clear scope of work, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
