Scranton Roof Pros provides professional metal roofing in Scranton, PA for residential and commercial properties across the Lackawanna Valley. Metal is a good roof and we install a lot of it. The argument worth having in this county is not about the panel, though. It is about the number written on your subsidence policy afterwards, because a metal reroof quietly moves it and almost nobody adjusts.
The Commonwealth's policy is written at an amount you choose, and the department's own guidance is to insure at replacement value plus about twenty percent. Put a standing seam roof on a house insured years ago at a figure that assumed asphalt and you have raised what it costs to rebuild without raising what you would be paid to rebuild it. The gap only reveals itself on the one day you need it not to.
So when we quote metal we tell you to call the department afterwards and move the coverage up. It costs about twenty-seven cents per thousand, meaning the whole adjustment on a substantial increase is a few dollars a year. Nobody else on your estimate list is going to mention this, and it takes one phone call to fix. Write the new figure down somewhere you will find it again at renewal.
The panel choice itself we make by building rather than by preference. Standing seam on concealed clips is the better long-term system and it lets the panel move along its length as it heats and cools. Exposed-fastener ribbed steel has a real place on garages, shops and barns, and we will quote it happily while noting that the washers are a maintenance item.
What we steer away from is metal over half a double block. A standing seam plane wants continuous edges, and stopping one at a party wall to butt against the neighbor's asphalt creates a seam that neither system was designed to terminate against. On attached housing we would rather both halves went together, or the metal went on the detached building behind instead. Half a plane is not half a roof, whatever the square footage says.
Our panels are rolled from twenty-four gauge rather than the thinner coil that wins on price alone, with a high-temperature membrane laid under them and every eave, rake and penetration finished in formed metal instead of sealant. One refusal holds regardless of budget: no panels over an existing shingle roof on a building we believe is moving, because lifting metal to reach a deck costs close to what laying it did.
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 metal roofing
The difference between metal roofing that lasts and metal 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 metal roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The metal 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 metal 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.
