Many homeowners in Altoona, PA contact us when their shingle roofs begin to age out or when they’re ready for a full replacement after past repairs. Homes in Blair County, especially the older two-story homes found throughout neighborhoods like Fairview, Juniata, and Garden Heights, often reach the 18–25 year mark where shingles start to lose granules, underlayment weakens, and previous patches no longer offer reliable long-term protection.
For a typical two-story property on a street like Westchester Drive, our Altoona roofing team can provide a full shingle roof replacement along with additional services like gutter replacement when requested.
A standard replacement for a two-story Altoona home may include:
• Architectural shingles such as Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration (Harbor Blue) – 15 squares
• Hip and ridge caps to match the selected color
• Starter strip installed along all eaves and rakes
• Ice & water shield for vulnerable areas
• Synthetic underlayment for deck protection
• White aluminum drip edge around all roof edges
• Coil roofing nails
• Button caps for underlayment installation
• Step flashing and counter flashing for walls and transitions
These materials are outlined in the uploaded material list (Material List #29265), which is representative of the full roofing systems we install on Altoona homes.
A 20+ year-old shingle roof—even with no current leaks—may begin showing signs of:
• granule loss
• weakened seal strips
• loose or brittle shingles
• flashing that has aged out
• underlayment deterioration
Because Altoona sees heavy snowfall, freeze–thaw cycles, and summer thunderstorm activity, aging shingles have a shorter margin for error. Replacing the system before issues appear helps protect the home structure and interior.
Many homeowners looking for a roof estimate also request a gutter quote at the same time. Our Altoona branch can install:
• 5" or 6" seamless aluminum gutters
• Color-matched downspouts
• Optional gutter guards
• Fascia/drip edge integration as part of the roof system
Updating gutters during a roof replacement helps ensure proper drainage and prevents water from backing up at the eaves.

• Altoona
• Hollidaysburg
• Bellwood
• Duncansville
• Greenwood
