Scranton Roof Pros provides professional wind damage roofing in Scranton, PA for residential and commercial properties across the Lackawanna Valley. Wind takes a roof apart from the outside in. Everything in the field is held down by the courses stacked on top of it, while the rake, the eave and the ridge have nothing above them. Those three lines are where a gust gets a fingernail under the covering.
So the money worth spending is at the perimeter, and it is not much money. Edge metal hemmed and set so the underlayment runs onto it rather than over it. A real starter strip at the eave with its factory adhesive outboard, not a field shingle turned around. Ridge cap fastened through both laminate layers. Three small lines that hold the next gust out.
The valley's shape matters more than the raw wind numbers do. Scranton sits in a trough between Moosic Mountain and the Abingtons, and a system tracking along that trough loads exposed rakes and gable ends far harder than the sheltered slopes fifty feet away. We read damage against which way the valley runs rather than against a regional average. A regional wind average tells you very little about one exposed gable end.
Attached buildings add an edge that detached ones do not have. Where two halves of a double block were reroofed years apart, the seam between them is a joint between an old sealed course and a new one, and it behaves like a rake edge in the middle of the roof. We lap that seam deliberately and hand-seal it rather than letting the newer work simply butt against the older.
Diagnosis is worth doing carefully because carriers read it carefully. A wind-creased shingle carries a crease line across its face and a matching disturbance in the courses beneath. A shingle merely standing proud with its adhesive strip clean underneath was never bonded at all, usually because it went down cold and nobody sealed it by hand. We photograph both patterns and label them before anything is repaired.
On ordinary repairs we work whole courses instead of sliding single shingles into gaps, because one pushed in from below never bonds the way the surrounding field did. Below about fifty degrees we seal by hand. Any slope we open gets fresh starter and fresh edge metal, and ridge vent that has lifted once gets replaced rather than screwed back down. None of it costs meaningfully more than doing the same work badly.
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 wind damage roofing
The difference between wind damage roofing that lasts and wind 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.
