RickJohn Roofing, based in Highland Park, Pennsylvania, was founded in 1978 by good friends Rick Gammiere and Robert "Bob" John Wallo. Both native Pittsburghers, they have been restoring and servicing some of the most prestigious homes in Pittsburgh for the past 42 years. Rick and Bob got their start in construction in the 70s, working for a home construction company. They worked all day, every day, going door-to-door, asking homeowners if they needed any work done on their homes' exteriors. Understanding the importance of customer service, they put a premium on keeping the customers happy - eventually their focus concentrated on roofing and RickJohn Roofing was born.
Half-round gutters are a more traditional look and enhance the curb appeal of any home. At RickJohn Roofing, our European seamless gutter machines can form customized gutters of any length on site. Our machines are housed in a specially built van which has its own power supply to run the machines. We can rebuild and replace box gutters out of copper, ternecoat or stainless, custom fabricated on location or in our metal shop. If a repair is all you need, we can identify the problem area, repair the leak and repaint the gutter adding additional years to its life.
Many of the homes in the Pittsburgh area have asphalt shingle roofing. It is the most cost-effective, versatile choice for homeowners, available in dozens of different colors and styles, allowing you to match the color and architectural style of your home. Each roofing project is approached with complete care and attention to detail. We do not cut corners. For example, we use synthetic underlayment during installation to ensure your asphalt roof is properly protected and guarantee that your roof system is complete by adding 100% ventilation.
We install and repair slate roofs and copper flashing. We can replace any missing or cracked slate or tile with new material or use aged roofing material from our vast stockpile collected over 40+ years in business. Our new slate comes from Greenstone Slate in the Slate Valley of Vermont, which is renowned for creating the world's best quality slate. They combine traditional hand-cutting techniques with the latest manufacturing technology and quality control, enabling them to offer a 100 year guarantee.
We add tapered insulation that allows water to descend to strategically located drains and off the roof. Our flat roofs are made of copper with soldered seams that will last 75 years or more. On larger office buildings, we use EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer), an extremely durable synthetic rubber roofing material used in low-slope roofing throughout the world.
RickJohn Roofing has one of the few full-service custom metal fabrication shops in the Pittsburgh area. Located on Washington Blvd. in Highland Park, our skilled craftsmen are fabricating 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Call Rick for a private tour! Our metal fabrication shop is used to renew, restore, and repair roofs on many Pittsburgh homes in neighborhoods including Highland Park, Sewickley, Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, Upper St. Clair and Mt. The custom pieces that we create add to the aesthetics of your home, increasing the value while protecting it from the elements.
Standing seam copper metal roofs are stunning and offer clean, vertical lines for estate homes, new construction, farm houses, log cabins and more. We only work with the finest quality materials that are going to last 50 years or more so we prefer copper when forming standing seam, as it is the most durable and long-lasting material on the market. A copper standing seam roof can last for 75 years or more. The long vertical panels, which come in different profiles, can be installed on overhangs, porches, additions and as accent pieces on larger homes alongside other roofing materials.
In addition to roof installation and roof repair, RickJohn Roofing also installs ventilation systems to help prolong the lifespan of your roof and skylights to add natural light into the home. We also offer complete chimney service and custom carpentry. Enjoy as much as 30% more natural light by installing skylights in your roof. Proper installation is critical to avoid leeks. We use VELUX products that offer a no-leak promise with clean and quiet glass. They have a wide variety of high-end skylight models so it is easy to find one that fits the style of your home.

Your roof is a major investment and it protects all that you hold dear. The best way to keep your roof in good condition is through preventative maintenance. RickJohn Roofing's maintenance programs will provide your roof with the professional upkeep needed to help prevent damage and extend the lifespan of your roof. With our roof maintenance programs, we also work to ensure all of the elements of your roof, such as coatings and skylights, are regularly serviced to ensure they meet the requirements of any long-term warranties you may have on the products.
RickJohn Roofing is Western Pennsylvania's slate and tile experts and we have vast experience with repairing and replacing roofs using both new and aged materials. In many cases, a piece of slate or tile that needs to be repaired can simply be replaced. However, you must use a slate and tile expert to ensure that the durability and aesthetics of the material is maintained. Often, the weather in our region-rainy springs, humid summers, and cold, snowy winters-can cause asphalt shingles to break down over time.
As a Certified Installer of Ludowici Tile, we are proud to use them on our tile roofing projects. Crafted in New Lexington, Ohio, Ludowici clay tile products are infinitely customizable and carry a 75-year warranty. Their tiles are of the highest quality available and have been chosen to adorn thousands of historic and newly built structures around the world. Pittsburgh homeowners who want to enjoy this ultra-durable material often use it to maintain a certain aesthetic, especially on homes that have a particular architectural style or for homes that were built during a particular historical time.
