Scranton Roof Pros provides professional hail damage roofing in Scranton, PA for residential and commercial properties across the Lackawanna Valley. 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.
Genuine hail bruises. A strike fractures the shingle mat and knocks granules away, leaving a round soft spot a thumb can feel, scattered without pattern across the slope. Crucially it also marks the soft metals: gutter aprons, vent caps, flue hoods and the flat faces of downspouts pick up dents with no consistent direction to them. Two or three of those marks on a downspout face settle the question quickly.
That second half is the test, and it fails more often than it passes here. Bruising on the field with clean, undented flues and vent caps usually means age rather than ice. So does uniform granule loss down the middle of a slope where roof water concentrates, and so do the crushed tabs a satellite installer or a chimney sweep left behind years ago.
We still measure it properly rather than deciding from the ladder. Chalked test squares on every slope, hits counted inside them, photographs taken with a scale in frame, and a written count slope by slope. If that count supports a claim we hand you the file and say so. If it does not, we say that instead, and we say it before an adjuster has to.
On old anthracite-era housing there is a further wrinkle worth knowing. A roof already fifteen or twenty years old carries so much ordinary weathering that a marginal hail event gets absorbed into it, and a denial on a filed claim then sits in your history permanently. A denied claim is worse than no claim, and it buys you nothing. Carriers keep that record, and the next owner of the house inherits it.
When a replacement is genuinely warranted the work is deliberately unremarkable. Full tear-off, sheathing checked as it is exposed, eave membrane, laminated shingles with the wind rating stated for each slope, fresh pipe flashings rather than reused ones, vents replaced rather than dented ones straightened, and the yard swept with a magnet before we leave it. Ridge cap comes from the same product line rather than cut out of field shingles.
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 hail damage roofing
The difference between hail damage roofing that lasts and hail damage 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.
