About Scranton Roof Pros: Licensed Roofing Pros in PA
Scranton Roof Pros works on houses, double blocks and commercial buildings across Lackawanna County and the boroughs down the valley into Luzerne. Asphalt replacement and repair, steel panel roofs, low-slope membrane, wall and chimney flashing, intake and exhaust, gutters and emergency dry-in. City-licensed, insured, and content to have the class checked before anybody hires us.
What makes this company read differently is a document rather than a technique. In this state the ground under your house is a separate insurance question with a separate policy sold by a separate body, and roughly half of Scranton's thirty-five thousand housing units went up in 1939 or earlier, long before anyone was mapping what had already been taken out from underneath them.
There are jobs we turn down. We will not spray a film across a split detail so a sale can close quietly, and we will not write up a full replacement off one failed pipe collar. We also decline to cut a skylight into a hundred-year-old rafter roof without opening the ceiling first, and nobody's deductible is any of our business.
If you have a roofing project in Scranton, the fastest way to get a real number is a free on-site estimate.

You can also reach us directly on (844) 511-2320.
Credentials
- License: Licensed by the City of Scranton under Chapter 203 of the city code, which runs its own contractor classes and its own examinations, and separately registered with the Commonwealth as a home improvement contractor because the city requires that certificate attached to the application
- Insurance: General liability, property damage and public liability at five hundred thousand dollars per person and one million per occurrence, the figures Scranton's code office demands before it issues a class, plus workers' compensation on file
- Association: North/East Roofing Contractors Association member
- Warranty: a written workmanship warranty stating its term in years, and stating openly that ground movement sits outside it, because no roofing warranty issued anywhere covers a frame that moved
How Scranton Roof Pros works
How a job with Scranton Roof Pros runs, start to finish
Site visit first, always. We measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and ask what you are actually trying to solve — then you get an itemized free estimate in writing with materials, scope and a realistic date on it.
Once the work starts, the same crew stays on the job until it is done. We protect the surrounding area, clean up daily, and tell you the moment something under the surface changes the plan, because the alternative is a surprise invoice and nobody wants that conversation. a written workmanship warranty stating its term in years, and stating openly that ground movement sits outside it, because no roofing warranty issued anywhere covers a frame that moved backs the finished work.
What we will not do
We do not quote a roofing job over the phone, take deposits before a written scope exists, or bid work we are not set up to do properly. If your project needs a different trade, we say so and point you at someone who does it well. Losing a job is cheaper than doing one badly in Scranton.
Where Scranton Roof Pros works and who we work with
Scranton, PA first, then the surrounding communities of the Lackawanna Valley: Dunmore, Carbondale, Old Forge, Pittston, Archbald, Blakely, Taylor, Dickson City and more. Each of those has its own page with local detail rather than a copy of this one.
Work splits roughly between homeowners and commercial property — offices, retail, restaurants, apartment complexes and HOA boards across the Lackawanna Valley. Start with the Scranton services, the Scranton Roof Pros homepage, or just call (844) 511-2320.
Why Scranton Chooses Scranton Roof Pros
- ✓We look your address up on the department's mine viewer before we quote, because in this valley the answer changes whether a roof is the right thing to buy this month at all.
- ✓Pennsylvania sells subsidence cover separately instead of writing it into your policy the way the statute does in Illinois, so here the first question is whether any coverage exists, not which of two perils to file under.
- ✓On a house with a mapped void and no policy we will hand you the department's phone number and leave without a signed contract, because forty-one dollars a year outranks anything on our price list.
- ✓We refuse to coat over a split detail. Beyond hiding evidence, unrepaired damage can block the Commonwealth from issuing a policy at all until the repairs are made as its board directs.
- ✓On a double block we quote in two columns split at the deed line, so two owners of one continuous roof plane can see exactly which feet of it each of them is buying.
- ✓We say plainly that we read maps and roofs, not ground. The department warns its own records may be incomplete, so if a building is moving the next call is a structural engineer, not another roofer.
What Scranton Customers Say
They pulled our address up on the state mine map before they even looked at the roof, printed the result, and told us to call the DEP and buy the subsidence policy first. Then they came back and did the tear-off. Nobody else who quoted us mentioned any of it.
We had two roofers tell us the chimney needed rebuilding and reflashing. These people asked what the flue was connected to, found out it was nothing, and took it down below the roof and framed over it. Half the price and the leak has not come back.
Our half of a double block, and they measured the whole roof and gave us a quote split at the property line so we could show it to next door. The seam where the two halves meet got lapped properly. Very straightforward people to deal with.
Honest to the point of talking themselves out of work. I asked about spraying something over our shingles and got a plain no with the reasons typed out for me. We hired them for the wall flashing and the eave vents instead, which is what the house actually needed.
