Exterior Work in Pleasant Hills
What we actually find on Pleasant Hills 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 Pleasant Hills. Pleasant Hills is a borough in Allegheny County and issues its own building permits for exterior work. 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 Pleasant Hills houses actually need
The plan here is pre-war and the houses are not. Pleasant Hills was platted in 1929 and incorporated in 1947 with 837 homes; there are roughly 3,500 today. So the street pattern is planned and consistent while the stock itself is overwhelmingly late-1940s through 1960s — and stock that went up together comes due together.
- Trees are the standing issue. The borough claims to be one of the few communities in the United States with its own preserve of virgin woodland: the A.W. Robertson Arboretum, 16 acres, including 8 acres of virgin oak given in 1950, with trees certified at over 200 years old in 1976. Canopy that mature means real limb load over roofs and real leaf load in gutters.
- Contractor hours are set by ordinance at 7am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday, and an exception must be in writing before the permit issues. No Sunday push to finish, and no Saturday evening.
The housing stock
Platted as a planned suburb in 1929 but built out afterwards: 837 homes at incorporation in 1947 against roughly 3,500 today, so about three quarters of the stock is late-1940s through the 1960s.
Permits in Pleasant Hills
Permits for work here are issued by Pleasant Hills Borough. Chapter 178 sets the hours a contractor may work — 7am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday — and an exception has to be requested in writing from the Zoning and Code Officer before the permit issues, not after work starts.
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 We deliberately do not publish permit fees — municipalities revise them, sometimes annually — so we confirm the current figure with the office while we are writing your estimate rather than quoting you something out of date.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.
