Our team is all about attention to detail, from the big tasks to the small ones. Our founder laid out the MAT Way back in 1974, and over time we’ve condensed this process into QEC.

Quality

MA Thompson Roofing logo

At MAT Roofing, quality isn't a buzzword — it's the whole job. A roof should last 25 years or more, and ours do. The reason many roofs fall short isn't the materials — it's the installation. We remove your old roof completely before we start, install flashing the right way, and set every shingle exactly where it should be. When we leave, your yard will be cleaner than when we showed up.

Experience

MA Thompson Roofing logo

Too many contractors still operate like it's 1950 — a handwritten quote, a voicemail nobody checks, and cash or check only at the end. MAT Roofing does things differently. Prefer to handle everything online with emailed proposals and credit card payment? Done. Rather sit down face-to-face and talk it through the old-fashioned way? We're happy to do that too. However you like to work, we adapt to make the process easy for you.

Community

MA Thompson Roofing logo

Every single person on the MAT Roofing team lives and works right here in Pittsburgh. You'll spot our trucks at a light on Library Road, our names on the back of youth soccer jerseys at Middle Road fields, and our guys grabbing a quick coffee at Sheetz before the next job. For generations, neighbors have trusted us with their homes — not just because we do great work, but because this is our neighborhood too. It doesn't get more personal than that..

MAT Roofing – A GAF Certified Plus Partner

MAT Roofing is a proud partner of GAF, North America's largest roofing manufacturer with over 135 years in business. GAF shingles are built to handle Pittsburgh weather, last as long as they're supposed to, and back it all up in writing.

GAF’s Timberline HDZ® shingles are built with LayerLock™ Technology, which fuses the shingle layers together for a stronger, tighter bond and a wider nailing zone — meaning less chance of anything going wrong during installation or over time. They're also backed by a lifetime limited warranty that covers materials, wind damage, and even labor costs when installed by a certified contractor. As a GAF Certified Plus™ contractor, MAT qualifies to offer that warranty directly to you.

The technical side matters — but so does how your roof looks. GAF offers over 20 color options across a range of styles, so you can find something that actually fits your home. Their StainGuard Plus™ technology protects against algae discoloration for 25 years, which is worth thinking about given how much rain Pittsburgh gets. And beyond the product itself, GAF's Community Matters program partners with organizations like Habitat for Humanity to give back to neighborhoods across the Pittsburgh region.

Redd Up Your Roof Program

If we’ve heard it once, we’ve heard it one hundred times at MAT Roofing.

“I know I need a new roof soon, but I’d like to get a couple more years out of this one.”

“That tile sticking up looks terrible.”

“The fan isn’t working up there.”
“Something is causing a leak into my upstairs bathroom, can you check it out?”

“My daughter’s having a graduation party and I want my roof cleaned.”

We get it – life is busy, and routine NRCA-recommended annual inspections and maintenance aren’t always top of mind. But ignoring issues like rotten wood or storm damage can lead to costly leaks down the road.

Here at MAT Roofing, we created the Redd Up Your Roof program. With annual inspections, maintenance, and cleaning, we ensure your roof stays in top shape. Most older roofs have a few more good years in them with proper care, and we’re here to actively support this extension of your roof’s life.

For just $399 a year, MAT Roofing will provide a comprehensive roof health assessment, complete with 360-degree photographs of potentially problematic areas. Our team will also complete any light maintenance work – think about those handful of damaged shingles that need replaced or the nails sticking up right above your garage) as well as clean off any debris on the roof. By proactively maintaining your home through Redd Up Your Roof, we take one more thing off your plate.

Call or reach out to us online today to learn more about Redd Up Your Roof program. Do It Once, Do It Right, Do It with MAT Roofing.

Gutter Replacements and Guard Solutions

MA Thompson Roofing logo

When considering home protection from the outdoor elements, most homeowners focus on the roof — and that makes sense. But gutters are a close second when it comes to protecting your home, and the two work as a team. A well-installed roof directs water off your home and into the gutters. If those gutters are clogged, damaged, or the wrong size, that water has nowhere to go — and it finds its way back to your roof, your siding, and eventually your foundation. In short, your new roof will become your old roof quickly if there are issues with your gutters.

MAT Roofing has been installing gutters in Pittsburgh for over 50 years, so we understand that relationship better than most. We install custom seamless aluminum gutter systems built specifically for your home — not cut-to-fit pieces from a box. Our six-inch troughs are designed to handle any roof size or pitch, moving water efficiently through the system and away from your home. We also install gutter guards for homeowners who'd rather not spend a beautiful Pittsburgh fall weekend on a ladder cleaning gutters out.

Done right, gutters don't just protect your home — they can sharpen its appearance and add real value. If yours are overdue for a replacement or you're not sure what shape they're in, give us a call. It's one of the most important features on your home, and we're happy to take a look.

Heat Cable Installation

Winter in Pittsburgh is no joke and your roof feels it first.

  • Ice dams are one of the most common — and most preventable — sources of winter roof damage. They form when heat from inside your home warms the roof deck, melting snow that then refreezes at the colder edges and inside your gutters. That ice has nowhere to go. It backs up under your shingles, forces water into your attic, and can cause serious damage to your ceilings, walls, and insulation. The worst part? Most homeowners don't notice until spring — long after the damage is done.
  • Heat cables are the simplest and most effective way to stop ice dams before they start. Installed along the lower edge of your roof and through your gutters, they generate just enough warmth to keep water moving through your drainage system rather than freezing in place. Think of them as a clear path for melting snow — from your roof, through your gutters, and safely away from your home.
  • MAT Roofing installs Frost King heat cables in the fall and winter, when the need is most urgent. Frost King is one of the most trusted names in cold weather home protection, and their heat cable systems are built specifically for the kind of winters Pittsburgh delivers. Our team will come to your home, walk the roofline, assess where ice dams are most likely to form, and provide a straightforward estimate. Every installation is custom to your home — the length of your eaves, the layout of your gutters, and the areas most exposed to Pittsburgh's freeze-thaw cycles all factor into what we recommend.

Here's what the installation covers:

  • Roof edge protection — cables run along the first few rows of shingles where ice dams most commonly form
  • Gutter and downspout runs — cables threaded through gutters and downspouts to keep drainage clear all winter
  • Secure, clean installation — cables are fastened properly to avoid damage to your shingles or gutters
  • Simple operation — your system plugs into an existing exterior outlet and can be turned on when temperatures drop

One thing to confirm before we get started: the system requires a working exterior outlet. That's the only utility connection involved — no electrical work, no new wiring. Our team will confirm this during the estimate visit, so there are no surprises on installation day. Every heat cable installation we complete is backed by a one-year workmanship warranty, so you can head into winter with confidence.

If you've dealt with ice dams before — or just want to get ahead of them — fall is the right time to call. Heat cables are one of the most cost-effective investments you can make before winter arrives, and our team can usually get you scheduled quickly before the season gets away from you.

Siding Services

MA Thompson Roofing logo

Your siding does two things at once — it protects your home from the elements and sets the tone for how it looks from the street. MAT Roofing has been installing siding in Pittsburgh for decades, and we work with two great options depending on your goals and budget.

James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding is the premium choice, and for good reason. It's built to handle Pittsburgh's freeze-thaw winters, resist moisture and pests, and hold its color far longer than traditional vinyl. As a James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor — a designation held by less than 1% of siding companies in the country — MAT installs it the way James Hardie requires, which means your warranty stays intact and the job is done right the first time.

Vinyl Siding is a proven, cost-effective option that still delivers real results. It improves your home's energy efficiency, reduces outside noise, and gives your exterior a clean, finished look. According to Remodeler Contractor magazine, homeowners recoup up to 91% of vinyl siding costs at resale — making it one of the smarter investments you can make in your home.

Either way, our team is experienced working around the details that make siding tricky — shutters, vents, window surrounds, door frames, and decorative stone. We don't cut corners on the edges, because that's usually where problems start.

Soffit and Fascia Repairs and Replacement

MA Thompson Roofing logo

Soffit and fascia don't get much attention — until something goes wrong. They're the finishing pieces that run along the roofline of your home, and they do more than most homeowners realize. Soffit covers the underside of your roof overhang and keeps moisture and pests from getting into your attic. Fascia is the board that runs along the edge of your roof and holds your gutters in place. When either one fails, the problems tend to spread quickly — to your gutters, your roof, and eventually inside your home.

At MAT Roofing, soffit and fascia are part of every inspection we do. When a customer calls us about a gutter issue or a roof leak, we always check the soffit and fascia too — because more often than not, that's where the real problem is hiding. Our team knows how to spot early damage, repair what can be saved, and replace what can't.

If you're seeing rotting wood along your roofline, gutters pulling away from the house, or water draining in a direction it shouldn't be, those are signs your soffit or fascia may need attention. We offer a range of styles and materials to match your home's exterior, and we'll walk you through the options without the guesswork.

It's a small part of your home that carries a lot of responsibility. We take it seriously.

Window Replacement

MA Thompson Roofing logo

Windows do more than let in light. The right windows keep cold air out, reduce outside noise, prevent leaks around the frame, and can meaningfully lower your energy bills. The wrong ones — or ones that are simply past their prime — do the opposite.

MAT partners with Pella for all of our window installations. Pella has been designing and building windows for nearly 100 years, and they're known for getting the details right — tight seals, durable frames, and a wide range of styles that actually look good on Pittsburgh homes. Whether you're replacing one problem window or updating your whole house, Pella gives you options at different price points without sacrificing quality.

Our team will help you find the right fit for your home's style and your budget. We handle the installation from start to finish, so you're not coordinating between a window supplier and a separate contractor. If you're ready to take a look at what's possible, give us a call and we'll walk you through it.
