Gerken Roofing & Contracting, LLC

Gerken Roofing and Contracting LLC serves Irwin and the greater Westmoreland County region, providing residential and commercial roofing services to communities across the Pittsburgh metropolitan eastern fringe. The company combines roofing expertise with general contracting capability, addressing the interconnected nature of roof systems and the structures they protect. Westmoreland County spans from suburban communities near Pittsburgh through small towns and rural areas toward the Laurel Highlands. This diversity creates varied roofing demand: standard residential services for suburban developments, commercial work for businesses throughout the region, and the specialized needs of older homes in established communities. Some properties feature original materials requiring knowledgeable repair approaches. Pittsburgh-area weather tests roofing systems intensively. The three-river confluence creates humidity patterns that promote biological growth. Winter brings significant snow and ice accumulation with freeze-thaw cycles that stress every fastener and membrane connection. Summer thunderstorms deliver wind and hail. The varied terrain means weather exposure differs between valley locations and ridge properties, and material selection must account for these differences. Services span residential shingle installations and replacements, commercial roofing for business properties, repairs ranging from isolated leaks through comprehensive storm damage restoration, and the contracting work that often accompanies major roof projects. When tear-off reveals deck damage, rotted fascia, or structural concerns, having construction capability on the same team eliminates coordination delays. Material selection emphasizes products rated for Pittsburgh-area conditions. The Irwin base provides responsive service throughout Westmoreland County.
