Scranton Roof Pros provides professional asphalt shingle roofs in Scranton, PA for residential and commercial properties across the Lackawanna Valley. On a Scranton house the interesting part of an asphalt job is not the shingle. It is the square-edge board sheathing underneath it, laid a century ago with gaps between the boards, and whether that timber will still hold a fastener after a hundred years of drying out.
We find that out before quoting rather than on tear-off morning. A few boards come up at a rake and at a valley, we look at thickness and shrinkage and at how hard a nail resists being drawn back out, and we count the bays whose gaps are too wide to bite into. That count decides whether a plywood overlay appears on the estimate as a real number.
The covering choice then follows the climate rather than the brochure. Laminated product rather than three-tab, because the doubled layer and heavier mat take cold and gusts better and almost nothing is left in the price between them. Where the budget allows, an SBS-modified mat is worth asking about, since it stays pliable at temperatures that turn an ordinary shingle brittle underfoot.
Fastening is where most of the callbacks we inherit actually began. Nails belong inside the band the maker prints across the shingle, driven until the head lies flat and no further than that. Left proud they grip nothing. Punched through the mat they grip less than nothing and pass water besides. Six per shingle on exposed slopes. None of it is difficult and all of it is routinely got wrong.
Beneath the covering goes an adhered membrane along the eaves, carried past the inside face of the wall below, the same product run up any party wall on an attached building, a synthetic sheet above that, and valley metal with a formed rib instead of shingles woven across the throat. On a double block that party-wall run keeps one owner's repair out of the other owner's ceiling.
Asphalt also keeps this market's other advantage, which is that it comes apart. One slope, or one half of an attached building, opens and closes again without disturbing anything else, which a seamed or interlocking system will not do. It is the same property that lets a roof with eight honest years left and one split collar get a repair from us instead of a tear-off.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — a DEP mine viewer result recorded with the map sheet number, square-edge board sheathing gauged for nail withdrawal before tear-off, SBS-modified laminated shingles chosen for cold-weather flexibility, self-adhered membrane lapped up the party wall of a double block, W-profile valley metal formed with a raised center rib, eave intake cut into a boxed cornice that never had a soffit — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Scranton and nearby communities including Dunmore, Carbondale, Old Forge, Pittston.

Materials, equipment and how we do asphalt shingle roofs
The difference between asphalt shingle roofs that lasts and asphalt shingle roofs that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with a DEP mine viewer result recorded with the map sheet number, square-edge board sheathing gauged for nail withdrawal before tear-off, SBS-modified laminated shingles chosen for cold-weather flexibility, self-adhered membrane lapped up the party wall of a double block, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Scranton job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Lackawanna Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

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.
