Kinnee Brothers Roofing is headquartered in Canonsburg, PA. When you call us for a Canonsburg roof, we're not driving in from forty-five minutes away. We know the borough, we know the streets, and we know the houses — from the older brick homes off East Pike Street and the historic neighborhoods near Town Park to the newer developments stretching toward Cecil Township and the South Hills.

Cam and Drew Kinnee grew up around here. Our family ran roofing in the Pittsburgh region for years, and between the two of us, we have spent nearly fifteen years working on roofs across the Greater Pittsburgh region. When you hire us, you're hiring local guys who live and work in this community.

Canonsburg has a mix of housing eras that each have their own roofing considerations. Older central Canonsburg homes — brick and frame builds from the early 1900s through the 1940s — usually have steep, simple gable roofs. The original roof structure is solid, but most of these homes are on their second or third shingle roof by now. The biggest issue we see in older Canonsburg housing stock is undersized or non-existent attic ventilation, which shortens shingle life dramatically. When we replace an older Canonsburg roof, we almost always add a ridge vent and proper intake ventilation as part of the job.

Mid-century Canonsburg ranches and split-levels — built between the 1950s and 1970s, common in the neighborhoods north of town and toward Houston — typically have low-pitch roofs that are easy to walk but show damage faster because of the longer water dwell time on a shallow slope. We see a lot of granule loss and earlier-than-average shingle failure on these homes.

Newer Canonsburg developments out toward Cecil Township and the borough fringe were built mostly in the 1990s and 2000s. Generally higher-end materials and steeper pitches, but the original builder-grade shingles on a lot of these homes are reaching the 20-25 year mark right around now — meaning a lot of these are due for first replacement.

Canonsburg gets the full Western PA weather menu: heavy spring rain, summer thunderstorms with hail risk, winter snow loads, and the freeze-thaw cycle that breaks down shingle seal strips and flashing year after year. The biggest weather-driven issue we see on Canonsburg roofs is ice damming at the eaves during late winter. We install ice and water shield extending 3-6 feet from every eave on every Canonsburg replacement we do — well past code minimum, and it's the cheapest insurance against winter damage.
