Residential Roofing
Whalen Exteriors delivers premium residential roofing solutions using asphalt shingles and metal materials. Our certified team ensures energy-efficient installations with lifetime warranties, combining durability with aesthetic appeal. We handle complete replacements, repairs, and inspections using drone technology for precise diagnostics. Clients receive detailed material selection guidance and transparent project timelines, ensuring minimal disruption to daily routines while maximizing property value and weather protection.
Commercial Roofing
Specializing in commercial roofing systems for Pittsburgh businesses, we offer EPDM, flat roof, and coating solutions with preventative maintenance programs. Our experienced contractors prioritize operational continuity during installations, using Mule-Hide products for extended roof lifespan. We serve churches, multifamily properties, and industrial complexes with customized waterproofing systems, ensuring compliance with commercial building codes while maintaining budget-friendly pricing structures.
Siding Installation
As VSI-certified installers, we provide vinyl, composite, Hardie Board, and LP SmartSide solutions with superior durability against Pittsburgh weather. Our team ensures proper material selection for energy efficiency and curb appeal enhancement, following strict installation protocols for expansion/contraction management. Each project includes detailed substrate preparation and water infiltration prevention around windows and doors, backed by manufacturer warranties matching roof system protections.
Gutter Installation
We install seamless K-style and leaf-guard protected gutter systems using corrosion-resistant materials. Our designs optimize water diversion from foundations while maintaining architectural aesthetics. The process includes precise slope calculations for efficient drainage, with integrated downspout placement to prevent landscaping erosion. All installations follow VSI-certified fastening standards for long-term performance in heavy rainfall conditions.
Window Replacement
Our window replacement services feature energy-efficient vinyl and composite frames with double-glazed panes for improved insulation. We address draft elimination and moisture intrusion through proper flashing techniques, offering styles that complement existing home architecture. The process includes old window removal, rough opening preparation, and lifetime warranty options, with financing available for full-home transformations that reduce energy costs by up to 25%.
