Is it a Beechview gutter problem or a roof leak?

A stain under the eaves is often overflow, not a reason to replace the whole roof.

A brown ring near an outside wall after a heavy rain is often gutter overflow or a failed seam, not automatically a failed roof. A stain in the middle of a room under a valley may be a different story. Describe where it lands and whether it only happens in rain.

Do not walk the roof to settle the argument. A ground-level photo and a clear description are enough to start. If a licensed roofer is the right person, that should be arranged rather than guessed from a hallway.

If water is spraying from a pipe, that's not this page — use emergency leak help or a planned plumbing visit such as Penn Hills plumbing repair once it's stable.

After the edge is working again, a dry stain can be patched. Don't paint it the same afternoon.
