Scranton Roof Pros provides professional gutters & downspouts in Scranton, PA for residential and commercial properties across the Lackawanna Valley. Nobody thinks about gutters until they fail, and over old workings they deserve more attention than that. They are one of very few parts of a building an owner controls that change what the soil beside the footing does, and they sit oddly in the state's insurance.
Start with that corner, because nobody explains it. The Commonwealth's subsidence policy covers your building and its appurtenances, and appurtenances are limited to ten percent of the coverage amount. Gutters, fences, retaining walls, walks, patios and driveways all draw on that one tenth. A house insured at a hundred and fifty thousand carries fifteen thousand for the whole lot of them combined. Very few owners find that out before the day they need to know it.
That is worth a moment's thought before you spend heavily on hard landscaping alongside a roof project. It is not a reason to skimp on gutters, which are cheap. It is a reason to know that the retaining wall, the driveway and the trough are sharing one sub-limit rather than each having their own, and to insure the building at a realistic number.
Discharge is the half that matters and the half that gets ignored. Roof water released beside a wall soaks the ground hard against the footing, and on undermined ground concentrating water there is the last thing anyone should be doing. We carry leaders well out from the building, or connect into a buried run that surfaces somewhere sensible, and we say plainly when a lot's grade permits neither.
The hardware itself is straightforward. Trough rolled on site from coil, sized to the roof area draining into it rather than to habit, carried on concealed brackets at tight spacing instead of driven spikes, and an apron tucked under the shingle edge so water cannot track back onto the board. Mounted to sound timber where the timber is sound and to reinforcement where it is not.
On guards we hold no position and will say so. Under mature maples and sycamores they pay for themselves each autumn. On an open lot they are mostly margin. We fit more than one system and will price whichever you name. We also repair before replacing wherever that is honest, since resetting fall and changing failed brackets solves most of what people call a gutter problem.
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 gutters & downspouts
The difference between gutters & downspouts that lasts and gutters & downspouts 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.
