The writing comes from the same people doing the work in Scranton, PA and the Lackawanna Valley, which is why the numbers are specific and the advice sometimes tells you not to spend money.

Skip the articles and go to the page for what you need — each one covers pricing, scope and how to start:
- Roof Replacement in Scranton — A Scranton tear-off has a step in front of it that roofers in most places never have to think about. Whether the Commonwealth insures this building against the ground under it, and whether it already does, changes what we recommend and the order we recommend it in.
- Roof Leak Repair in Scranton — Most leaks in Scranton housing are detail failures at a penetration or a wall line, and they are cheap. A small number are not, and on a double block a small number of those are not even entering through your half of the building.
- Storm Damage Restoration in Scranton — Storms here are real and so is the damage, and most of it is straightforward. What is different in this valley is what happens when the damage turns out not to be weather, because in Pennsylvania that discovery usually means there is no claim to file at all.
- Hail Damage Roofing in Scranton — Expect an argument on this page. Northeastern Pennsylvania takes hail, but far less of the severe roof-wrecking sort than the plains do, and much of what gets reported here as ice damage turns out on inspection to be something else entirely.
- Wind Damage Roofing in Scranton — Wind takes a roof apart from the outside in. Everything in the field is held down by the courses stacked on top of it, while the rake, the eave and the ridge have nothing above them.
