Scranton Roof Pros provides professional commercial roofing in Scranton, PA for residential and commercial properties across the Lackawanna Valley. Commercial work in Scranton means the downtown masonry blocks, medical and professional space, schools and parish buildings, retail strips out along the highways, and the warehousing and light manufacturing that filled in along the old rail corridors on the valley floor.
One point belongs up front because owners rarely know it. The Commonwealth's subsidence policy is not a homeowner-only product; commercial buildings can be insured under it too. But the ceiling on the whole program is a million dollars of coverage, and on a large building that ceiling, rather than the premium, is the number worth thinking hard about. On a hospital wing or a distribution shed it is simply not enough.
That matters more on a low-slope commercial roof than on a house, because a flat roof lives entirely on designed fall. A structure that settles even slightly across a wide footprint can reverse drainage long before anything shows inside. The ponding then gets read as a membrane fault and recoated, when the actual event was structural and is not finished. A second coat of silicone does not restore fall to anything.
So our surveys put the drainage as it is beside the drainage as it was drawn. Levels are taken at the outlets and at the high points, the areas still holding water a day after rain get marked on the plan, and the two are compared. Where the fall has gone we write that down and price insulation shaped to rebuild it. That comparison, written down, is the actual deliverable.
The valley floor adds a peril the hills do not have. The state's policy names a sudden unexpected breakout of mine water alongside collapse, and the low ground along the river is where the flooded workings sit closest to the surface. On those sites we look hard at what is happening at grade and at the base of walls, not only at what is happening above the parapet.
The rest is standard work done properly and recorded as it happens. Membrane in TPO or EPDM, adhered wherever an old structural deck will not hold a mechanical fixing, torch-free bitumen where there is foot traffic or heat, insulation board beneath the whole assembly, protection matting on every route people actually walk, and every pitch pan cut out and rebuilt as formed metal. All of it photographed as it goes down.
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 commercial roofing
The difference between commercial roofing that lasts and commercial roofing 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.
The standards behind commercial roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The commercial roofing work we do in Scranton follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every commercial roofing project in Scranton gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
