We offer commercial roof repair services in Scranton for flat, metal, leaking, and industrial roofs, each one starting with an inspection on the roof.
Pick the commercial roof repair services in Scranton that match your roof. Each card lists where water most often gets in on that kind of roof.
Low-slope membrane, built-up, and modified bitumen roofs on offices, schools, and storage buildings, where ponding, blisters, and split seams cause most leaks.
Where Water Gets In
Exposed-fastener and standing-seam metal roofs on shops, barns, and maintenance buildings, from single panel swaps to rebuilt flashing at pipes and ridges.
Where Water Gets In
Leaks with an unclear source, traced from the ceiling back to the roof through drains, parapets, penetrations, and wall connections.
Where Water Gets In
Plant and warehouse roofs with drains above machinery, exhaust fans, and stacks, where roofing work has to be separated from production below.
Where Water Gets InThree common starting points, with the roof details that decide which repair crew and materials come out first.
Describe the stain, the roof type, and any equipment above it. The inspection sorts out which repair fits before anything gets quoted.
Each service shares the same opening steps, so the repair matches the roof before work starts.
Dates, weather, and drip locations from staff narrow down which roof areas to walk first.
Membrane, panels, flashing, and drains near the reported leak are checked by hand and by eye.
Knowing the membrane or panel type decides which patch, weld, or fastener the repair needs.
A written scope names each repair location, the materials planned for it, and any wet insulation found during the visit.
Repair days are set around tenants, shifts, and deliveries, with roof access and material hoisting planned in advance.
Four conditions show up across every service, each with a different cause behind it.
Surface crazing and gray chalk on older membrane near the parapets.
Ultraviolet wear thins the top layer, so seams near the cracking get tested before patches go on.
Scuffed, punctured roofing between the hatch and the equipment.
Service visits wear a path; walkway pads and patched punctures stop the next tear.
Edge metal raised or bent along one side of the building.
Wind gets under loose edges and peels membrane back, so fasteners and edge strips are reset.
Dark staining and soft roofing around kitchen or process exhaust.
Residue softens some membranes, so the stained area is cleaned and cut out before patching.
Pockmarked membrane and dented metal after a summer hailstorm.
Punctures and cracked laps leak while dents seldom do, so each damaged spot is probed before it goes on the scope.
Curled laps near drains and edges after a hard winter.
Water frozen inside a loose lap widens it each season, so the lap is cleaned, primed, and covered with a new strip.
Start from what you see. Standing water and split seams point to flat roof repair, loose screws and rust to metal roof repair, and a stain with no clear source to leak repair. Plant roofs with heavy equipment usually fall under industrial roof repair. The inspection confirms the choice before a quote.
Yes. Older built-up and modified bitumen roofs are common on Scranton mill and office buildings. Repairs use compatible materials, and core cuts check whether the felts and insulation underneath are still dry enough to hold a new patch.
Often it can. A flat roof with a rusted metal canopy or a leaking exhaust fan gets every area noted in one inspection and written into a single scope, with each repair location marked on the same roof map.
Past repair invoices, roof age, warranty papers, and photos of interior stains all help. A list of leak dates matched with weather tells us which conditions bring the water in, which shortens tracing time on the roof.
Small seam, drain, or panel repairs often finish in one visit once materials are on hand. Larger jobs with wet insulation or several roof areas get scheduled in sections, and the written scope lists each one so you can plan around tenants and shifts.
Nearly every building we repair stays open. Work happens from the roof, openings stay small, and noisy or messy steps get timed around business hours, production shifts, or deliveries agreed with you in advance.
Repair permits depend on the scope and the local code office under the statewide Uniform Construction Code. Small like-for-like repairs differ from work that removes roof layers. A written scope describing the layers and area involved helps the reviewing office decide.
Send the roof type and where the water shows up. We match the repair after looking at the roof.
