Scranton Roof Pros provides professional roof leak repair in Scranton, PA for residential and commercial properties across the Lackawanna Valley. Most leaks in Scranton housing are detail failures at a penetration or a wall line, and they are cheap. A small number are not, and on a double block a small number of those are not even entering through your half of the building.
We find leaks by elimination rather than by opinion. Water enters above where it shows, runs along a rafter or a board seam, and drops wherever gravity loses interest. So the work starts underneath with a light and a moisture meter, follows the staining back up the slope, and stops when the entry point is something we can put a finger on and photograph.
The usual causes are dull and we quote them as dull. A pipe collar gone hard and split in the sun. A fastener that has worked its way back up and tented the course above it. A valley cut so tight the metal has nowhere to shed into. A wall line where somebody ran a bead across the side flashings instead of replacing the pieces.
Attached buildings complicate the tracing and we allow for it. On a continuous roof plane crossing a party wall, water entering above the neighbor's rooms can travel the framing and appear in yours, and vice versa. We ask to look at both attics before we commit to a cause, and where the other owner will not allow that we write down that we could not check rather than guessing.
The repair paperwork matters more here than people expect. If ground movement is ever suspected on this building, the state's board wants damage either repaired as directed or costed by a credible expert before it will write a policy. An invoice that says what was wrong, where, and what was done is worth keeping. One that says roof repair is worth nothing. Keep that invoice with the deed papers rather than loose in a kitchen drawer.
Two limits, stated up front. A leak call does not become a replacement pitch in our hands, because a two hundred dollar collar failure is not an argument for an eighteen thousand dollar roof. And we will not trowel mastic across a flashing and call the house sorted. Where no repair convinces us, you get a cover price and a date to look again.
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 leak repair
The difference between roof leak repair that lasts and roof leak repair 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.
