Scranton Roof Pros provides professional storm damage restoration in Scranton, PA for residential and commercial properties across the Lackawanna Valley. Storms here are real and so is the damage, and most of it is straightforward. What is different in this valley is what happens when the damage turns out not to be weather, because in Pennsylvania that discovery usually means there is no claim to file at all.
That sentence is worth sitting with. In some coal states the legislature wrote subsidence cover into every policy in the designated counties unless the owner declined it on paper, which is how Illinois handles thirty-four of its own. Pennsylvania went the other way. Nothing is added, the Commonwealth sells its own policy instead, and most owners here have never bought one. Advice written for those states simply does not transfer across the state line.
So the peril question has a harsher answer here than it does there. Storm loss reads directionally: tabs creased along one rake, a limb strike with a matching wound, one elevation battered and the sheltered one untouched, neighbors on the same side of the street showing some version of it. That is a claim, and we will document it properly for you. None of that is a judgment made from the ground with folded arms.
Ground movement reads nothing like that and it arrives with interior company. Openings show up at the geometry rather than in the field, and the house tells you inside before it tells you outside, with doors that bind, floors reading out of level and fresh cracking in a foundation wall or a garage slab. It ignores which way the wind blew entirely.
When the evidence points that way and no state policy exists, we say the unwelcome thing plainly. There is no carrier to call. What there is instead is a repair to price honestly, a file to build so the damage is documented and costed, and a policy to put in force for the next event, which the board can then issue once the repairs are squared away.
The restoration itself runs in the usual order. Cover first, then the permanent scope: tear-off, sheathing repair, eave membrane, underlayment, new metal at every wall and valley, and intake and exhaust brought back into balance rather than reinstated exactly as found. Dated pictures of the whole sequence go into a file that belongs to you rather than to us.
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 storm damage restoration
The difference between storm damage restoration that lasts and storm damage restoration 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.
