12 N Franklin St #420, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania
Brookside roofs are older, tightly packed and exposed to Solomon Creek damp and Wyoming Valley freeze-thaw. That mix drives flashing leaks, ice dams and worn underlayment. We inspect, tarp and repair in that order.
Brookside is a residential neighborhood with a lot of older housing stock, and that shapes the work. Original slate and clay tile roofs, aging asphalt shingles, and decades-old flashing around chimneys and skylights all fail at different rates.

Roof emergencies in Brookside do not wait for business hours. We run leak calls, tarping, board-up and permanent repairs across the neighborhood, from Brookside Street to Solomon Creek.
The same jobs go differently from one place to the next. Here is what we plan for.
We trace the leak with a moisture meter and thermal camera before opening anything. Then we repair the flashing, shingles or underlayment at the source and check the surrounding roof plane.
When a roof is open to the weather, we secure a heavy tarp with battens and nailed edges. We document the damage, then plan the permanent repair for the next visit.
We remove the failed flashing, install new ice and water shield and metal flashing, and seal it correctly. Chimneys, valleys and vent boots get checked at the same time.
We use a moisture meter and infrared thermal camera to trace water back to its entry point. Then we inspect flashing, valleys, vents and chimneys and explain what we find.
Brookside's housing stock, its position along Solomon Creek and the Wyoming Valley freeze-thaw cycle create a predictable set of roof problems.
Older Brookside homes have decades-old flashing that corrodes, lifts and cracks.
Attic heat escapes through older insulation, melts snow on the roof, and the water refreezes at the cold eave.
In Brookside, many roofs have shingles that still look serviceable while the underlayment beneath has already failed.
Several buildings along South Main Street have flat EPDM or TPO roofs with drainage that no longer works.
Some roof problems announce themselves. Others stay hidden until the damage is done.
Emergency Roof Repair in Brookside usually runs from a few hundred dollars for a straightforward flashing or shingle repair to several thousand for storm damage involving decking or multiple roof sections.

We had water coming through the ceiling on Brookside Street during a storm, and they tarped the roof that night. The crew came back the next morning, found the failed flashing, and fixed it properly. No more leaks, and they cleaned up everything before they left.

Our slate roof on Hazle Street had a few cracked tiles and a leak we could not find. They used a thermal camera to trace it to the valley, replaced the tiles and flashing, and explained everything they did. Fair price and no pressure to replace the whole roof.

The flat roof on our South Main Street building was ponding and leaking near a drain. They repaired the EPDM, fixed the drainage, and had it done in a day. They even sent photos of the repair for our records. Good communication throughout.
