Exterior Work in Sewickley
What we actually find on Sewickley 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 Sewickley. Sewickley 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 Sewickley houses actually need
Sewickley is the only place we serve outside the City of Pittsburgh with binding exterior design review. Three historic districts cover roughly 75 properties, where all exterior work is governed by the borough ordinance and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards.
- On those properties the sequence is the point: the Historic Review Commission issues a Certificate of Appropriateness, Borough Council approves it, and only then does a building permit follow. Applications are due ten days before the HRC meets, so the calendar — not the crew — sets the start date.
- Code enforcement running through the borough police rather than a code office is genuinely unusual, and worth knowing before you start.
Permits in Sewickley
Permits for work here are issued by Sewickley Borough. Unusually, code enforcement here is handled by the Sewickley Police. Work on a designated property needs a Certificate of Appropriateness issued by the Historic Review Commission AND approved by Borough Council before a building permit can be issued — applications are due 10 days before the HRC meeting.
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 We deliberately do not publish permit fees — municipalities revise them, sometimes annually — so we confirm the current figure with the office while we are writing your estimate rather than quoting you something out of date.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.
