Scranton Roof Pros provides professional roof coatings & sealing in Scranton, PA for residential and commercial properties across the Lackawanna Valley. Coatings have one honest application and a great many dishonest ones. The honest one is buying more service life out of a low-slope membrane that is watertight and sits on sound structure. Most of what gets sold as coating here defers a conversation somebody would rather not have.
On the right roof it is genuinely good value. We specify the system by name, give you the applied thickness we are building to, clean and prime before anything wet goes down, run reinforcing fabric into every seam and around every penetration, and put a term on the work in writing. Anything short of that specification is paint wearing a longer name.
On steep-slope asphalt we decline outright, and we will say so to anyone offering otherwise. A film laid over shingles holds moisture in the mat, ends the manufacturer's cover on the product, and makes the eventual tear-off a slower and dearer day's work. An offer to spray your shingles for another decade is a future bill with a receipt stapled to it. The next crew inherits it and charges for the extra day.
The reason we are hardest of all about this is specific to Pennsylvania and it surprises people. Unrepaired damage can block the Commonwealth from writing a subsidence policy on a building at all. Its board wants the repairs done as it directs, or costed by a credible expert, before it will issue. A coating over a split detail is neither of those things.
So a bead of silicone bridging a torn flashing does not just hide evidence for a season. It can leave the property uninsurable for the one peril most likely to destroy it, at a moment when the whole cost of becoming insured was a few dollars a month. We will decline that work and explain why in front of whoever asked for it. That is a bad trade at any price we could quote you.
Where coating is right we name the product and the reason. Silicone where standing water genuinely cannot be designed out. Acrylic where it can be and the surface takes foot traffic. Foam only when an existing foam assembly is being recovered by a crew that works with it weekly. And a roof we believe needs replacing does not get a coating quote from us, however the request is phrased.
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 roof coatings & sealing
The difference between roof coatings & sealing that lasts and roof coatings & sealing 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.

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
