Exterior Work in Moon Township
What we actually find on Moon Township houses, who issues your permit, and how long it takes us to get there.
Top Dog Exteriors is an exterior contractor based at 4607 Library Rd in Bethel Park, PA, working in Moon Township. Moon Township is a township in Allegheny County, and building permits for exterior work here are issued by Moon Township, Allegheny County. We install roofing, siding, decks, windows, doors, gutters and concrete, and every roofing and siding installation carries a written, transferable 5-year workmanship warranty on our labour.
What Moon Township houses actually need
Moon is a 1970s suburb rather than a new one. The median build year is 1973 and more than two thousand homes went up in that decade alone, which puts the stock squarely in replacement territory — roof, siding and windows often coming due within a few years of each other.
- Moon has a local historic district with real teeth, which is unusual this far out. The township designated the Mooncrest neighbourhood a local Historic District in 2005 and has a Historical Architectural Review Board, and inside that district a Certificate of Appropriateness is obtained before the building permit. If your address is in Mooncrest we confirm with the township what review your particular job needs before we quote it.
- The ground moves here. A landslide closed Beaver Grade Road in January 2024 for roughly six months and damaged yards in the Sonoma Ridge development; PennDOT rebuilt it with a rock buttress of about 52,000 tons and the cause was attributed to saturated red-bed clay stone. Where roof water goes on a slope like that is not a detail.
- Around twenty miles out past the airport corridor, so Moon work is scheduled deliberately rather than squeezed in — about thirty-five minutes each way.
The housing stock
A 1970s township: the median build year is 1973, with 2,231 homes built between 1970 and 1979 out of roughly 10,600 units.
Predominantly detached single-family — about 69% of the stock.
Permits in Moon Township
Permits for work here are issued by Moon Township, Allegheny County. A permit is required for a complete structural re-roof. Deck permits need a signed Deck Affidavit and Deck Footer Affidavit. Moon also has a Grading and Excavating ordinance (Chapter 9, Ordinance 656, adopted 9 April 2015) covering terrain modification and changes to drainage, with a DEP permit required for grading near floodplain or wetland.
We pull the permit and meet the inspector. We deliberately do not publish permit fees — municipalities revise them, sometimes annually — so we confirm the current figure with the office while we are writing your estimate rather than quoting you something out of date.

I’ve worked with Top Dog Exteriors on multiple roofing projects as a general contractor, and they have consistently delivered excellent results. Their team is professional, responsive, and takes pride in the quality of their work. They show…

The crew did an outstanding job — extremely clean, highly professional, and impressively efficient. Their communication throughout the project was excellent, keeping me informed at every step. They had repaired my roof last year, and when a severe storm came through, I knew exactly who to call. The owner was on site to check the workmanship, which gave me even more confidence in the quality of the project. The roof looks fantastic, and the entire process was smooth and well-executed. I couldn’t be happier with the results.
-
Answered my request for an estimate to repair storm damage to my home with inspection, and estimate in two days. When I confirmed and signed work started next day. Work was completed within two days and I added other items as the quality and attention to detail was first rate. I recommend.
