Davidsville sits in Somerset County just south of Johnstown along PA-403, where many steel-era frame homes and duplexes from the early 1900s line narrow hillside streets. Our crews regularly reach these properties via US-219 and Scalp Avenue to handle full tear-offs on steep-pitch roofs that carry heavy snow loads each winter.
We focus on roof replacement using architectural shingles over plank decking and roof repair for ice dam leaks at valleys and eaves. Freeze-thaw cycles and ridge-top winds common in the Laurel Highlands make proper underlayment and ventilation balance essential on these older homes.
Work in Davidsville often includes chimney counter-flashing and step flashing around brick chimneys found on many local houses.

Roof Replacement in Davidsville — Local Notes
- •Homes here feature plank decking on steep lots with tight street access, so our crews plan material staging carefully before any full tear-off.
- •Heavy snow load and ice dams at eaves require extra ice and water shield along valleys during roof replacement.
- •Many properties have original slate under later layers, and we manage slate-to-shingle conversion while preserving attic ventilation balance on these ridge-top exposures.
