Welte Roofing Inc.

Welte roofing recently completed a siding job on our 1932 Tudor Revival home. Jeremy worked closely and patiently with us to help select the appropriate color and style of siding that would best suit our house. He was always available for questions and responded quickly to emails and telephone calls. He also made several visits to our property with different sample and suggestions for the project. Once the job was underway the workmen were courteous, kind and extremely efficient. Taking special care and precautions to deal with some rather fragile structures near to the house. They worked very quickly and used time wisely and most proficiently. Always a thorough clean up and were open and receptive to adjustments and last minute suggestions to make things look their very best. I cannot speak highly enough of Jeremy and his crew and of Welte roofing. Their pricing was by far the best and the most fair in terms of expense. We felt we were treated as valued and respected customers and would highly recommend this company to any and all. It was a 5 star job done with excellence.

Our house with a slate roof developed a small leak near one of the chimneys (late spring 2023). Welte Roofing came out and fixed the small leak quickly to our great relief. We followed up with a request for a pro-active maintenance plan assuming we would be there for another 30 years. Welte gave detailed recommendations around the replacement of the flashing (two chimneys); scraping, prepping, painting valleys, dormer flashing and vent pipes; inspect and seal leaks in aluminum gutters; repair missing, broken or slipped slate. We accepted their proposal and rather quickly (which delighted us!) they got started. Their crew was dedicated (even in hot July!), polite, informative when querried, and left no trace of their presence at the end of their several work days. The general manager came by a few days after the project was completed to look at the result with me and to address any concerns that I might have.

To conclude, my personal experience is that Welte has demonstrated they are a company of the highest quality of service -- from easy, clear and prompt communication, to the short-time wait for fixing of a leak, to a comprehensive and affordable 'scope of work', to dedication of their work crews (for set up, repairs/installation, and through clean up), and to standing behind their work. I consider myself a well-satisfied and appreciative customer

I simply asked for a quote for some potential work on soffit venting. The VP, Jeremy, actually stopped by our house on his way to another job. He then sent me a very long, thorough email explaining what he saw and the various options we may have. Most of it actually entailed not using their services. I was so appreciative of him taking the time to stop by our house and send so much information and guidance to us. Definitely a great company in my opinion.

I couldn’t wait for the opportunity to write a review for Welte Roofing.
They replaced our slate roof. They are such a professional outfit. The crew we had at our house was as good as it gets. Roofing is such hard work and these guys were so good.
The roof is beautiful and perfect, Jeremy Smith assured us it would be, and it is.
Thank you Welte Roofing this was such a positive experience.

Welte Roofing is a great company. Employees are courteous, articulate and they know what they are doing. I tried 3 companies to repair a gutter. Two did not contact me after the initial visit. The one which showed up did not repair the gutter. Welte repaired the issue and corrected other small issues. Having been disappointed often with people who work on houses, I am happy to report that Welte will show up and will do the work.

We have used Welte roofing for the past 20+ yrs on all our roofing issues on our 100+ year old large house. They have done an outstanding job every time. They come quickly, take photos to show you the issue before they start the work, I have never needed them to come back to re-repair a part of the roof they had previoulsy fixed. The only downside is that they are a bit expensive...but you do get what you pay for with them.

ADDENDUM: I had Welte come out for another repair on my roof (it is a very old home) after I had gotten a quote from Erie Construction. Erie told me I needed a whole new roof and it would cost $27K. Welte then came out and said my roof was in perfect condition and the issue was the dormer windows above the roof – the wood was rotten and rain water was leaking in through the windows and wall down to the room below. This made a lot more sense with the fact that when it rained, it would often not start leaking until 2 -3 hrs into the rain.
I am not sure why Welte has a low star rating on google reviews but what I can tell you is they saved me $27K and they are HONEST. This is hard to come by these days. (FYI I only called Erie Contraction as Welte said they would not be able to come out right away and I wanted it dealt with ASAP).

This is one of the best Roofing companies in the city of Pittsburgh. I would recommend anyone that wants a high quality roof done right to Welte. There craftsmanship with copper is superior to any other Companies they are true aartisans at there Craft.

Quality people, service and workmanship. Many other roofing companies out there, but these guys are some if the best.

I have had Welte maintain my slate roof for about 38 years. There's a reason for that.

Great roofing company, difficult jobs are their specialty

They did a great job

They were fairly quick to get out and clean my gutters, but despite me knowing they charge $200/hr, I was not made aware that it was a 1 hour minimum. They were in an out in 10 minutes. That’s $1000/hr for two guys to clean some gutters. Very convenient that they didn’t mention that when scheduling.

Crew came out to repair a gutter clip. The guys were very professional and did a great job, however they were only at my house for 15 minutes and the bill was $200. I called to ask why the bill was so high and was told that they charge a minimum of 1 hour and that they state that when you schedule (they did not). When I called to schedule the work this was not mentioned to me whatsoever. Had I known I would have called another company.

We recently contracted Welte to service our roof and replace damaged slate tiles. Unfortunately, following the original service date, I had to contact them and point out exposed wood (I am no roofing expert but can spot if a slate it missing---the $445 inspection and repair was to pick up on this). They told me they were coming back out and would repair this at no extra charge. After supposedly coming back out (I was not home), the wood was still exposed. I contacted them again, and their repair team told the sales dept it was repaired, but it wasn't. I will not be contracting w/ this company again.

Look elsewhere. Would not recommend.
