Wilmerding was built by Westinghouse, watched over by the Castle, and filled with some of the most solid company housing in the Turtle Creek valley: brick rows, frame doubles, and foursquares that have carried a century of Pennsylvania weather. Bella Construction & Development has roofed them since 1995 from our shop at 10561 Center Hwy in Irwin, ten minutes away, as an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred contractor with an A+ BBB rating and Pennsylvania license PA#50898.
Company town craftsmanship deserves matching work
The Westinghouse era houses were built by people who cared, and roofing them well means caring back: full tear offs instead of layer overs, selective replacement of original plank decking, chimney and valley flashing in real metal, and ventilation added thoughtfully to attics that were framed before anyone said the word airflow. Slate still tops some homes here; we assess honestly whether yours wants repair, restoration, or a dimensional shingle that keeps the period look at half the cost.
Valley weather never retired
Turtle Creek funnels storms the way it always has. Wind runs the valley floor, damp lingers under the hillsides, and freeze thaw cycles pry at century old flashing every winter. After storms our storm damage team is usually tarping in the borough the same day, photographing everything so your insurance claim reflects the real scope.
What we handle for Wilmerding homeowners
Roof replacement and repair on rows, doubles, and foursquares. Siding that respects the streetscape, installed by a James Hardie Master installer. Window replacement for drafty originals, seamless gutters sized for real roof runoff, and honest guidance starting with our roof replacement cost guide and monthly payment financing options.
Ten minutes and thirty years
A company from Irwin does not treat Wilmerding as a stop on the way to somewhere bigger. We have references across the valley, we know which streets need a flagger to park a dumpster, and we will still be ten minutes away when a question comes up in year six. That is the whole pitch.
