We handle full tear-offs and re-roofs on the steep-pitch homes that line the narrow streets of Nanty Glo. Our crews work with plank decking, add ice and water shield at valleys, and balance ridge vents with soffit intake to manage the heavy snow loads that settle in the Laurel Highlands each winter.
Many properties here sit on tight hillside lots reached from Johnstown via PA-271. We replace cracked or slipped slate with architectural shingles, install proper step flashing around brick chimneys, and address granule loss or curling shingles that show up after strong ridge-top winds and hail.

Roof Replacement in Nanty Glo — Local Notes
- •Nanty Glo homes are mostly early 1900s frame houses and duplexes built for coal and steel workers, often with original slate still under later layers on plank decking.
- •Borough streets are narrow with limited staging room, so our crews stage materials carefully on steep lots and use targeted access for chimney counter-flashing and valley work.
- •Freeze-thaw cycles and spring thunderstorms create ice dam leaks at eaves; we focus on underlayment upgrades and attic ventilation balance suited to this side of Cambria County.
