Expert Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Honesdale & Scranton, PA

The Perfect Blend of Affordability, Style, and Weather Protection

Asphalt shingles are the #1 new roof installation choice for homeowners in NEPA, and for good reason. They offer incredible versatility, a wide range of colors, and high-performance protection against the unique weather patterns of the Poconos and Lackawanna County.

At Honesdale Roofers, we don’t just “lay shingles.” We install comprehensive asphalt roofing systems designed to withstand 130mph winds, heavy lake-effect snow, and the humid summers of NEPA.

Our Asphalt Shingle Options

We offer three distinct levels of asphalt roofing to fit your home’s architectural style and your budget:

1. Architectural (Dimensional) Shingles – Most Popular

These are the gold standard for modern homes. Unlike flat shingles, architectural shingles are multi-layered, creating a deep, shadowed look that mimics wood shakes.

  • Why it’s right for you: These shingles are heavy-duty and specifically designed to resist “blow-offs” during high-wind storms in the Honesdale ridges.

2. Luxury & Designer Shingles

Want the look of slate or cedar without the maintenance or high cost? Our luxury asphalt line provides thick, oversized tabs that offer maximum curb appeal for high-end properties in the Scranton area.

3. Traditional 3-Tab Shingles

The most budget-friendly option. While simpler in appearance, our 3-tab shingles are still high-quality and provide a clean, classic look for rental properties or outbuildings.

Built for the Pennsylvania “Freeze-Thaw” Cycle

In Honesdale, our roofs take a beating. Between the heavy snow in January and the 90-degree heat in July, your shingles expand and contract constantly. We ensure your asphalt roof lasts by:

  • Ice and Water Shielding: We install extra protection along the eaves and valleys where ice dams are most likely to form.

  • Proper Attic Ventilation: A cool roof starts with a breathable attic. We optimize your ridge vents to prevent shingle “baking” in the summer.

  • Enhanced Starter Strips: We use reinforced starter shingles to ensure the wind cannot lift your roof edges.

Why Choose Honesdale Roofers?

  • Manufacturer Certified: We use premium products from industry leaders like GAF and CertainTeed.

  • Clean-Site Guarantee: We use specialized equipment to catch every nail and shingle scrap, leaving your Honesdale property spotless.

  • Local Trust: We aren’t a national franchise. We are your neighbors, committed to protecting the homes in our community.

FAQ: Roof Replacement in Honesdale

How long does an asphalt shingle roof last in NEPA?

 With professional installation and proper ventilation, a high-quality architectural shingle roof in our region typically lasts 25 to 30 years.

Can you install new shingles over my old ones?

 While "re-roofing" is possible, we generally recommend a full tear-off. This allows us to inspect the wood decking for rot and install new ice and water shields, which are vital for PA winters.

How do I know if I need a repair or a full replacement?

If you see curling shingles, bald spots (loss of granules), or frequent leaks, it’s likely time for a replacement. We offer free inspections to give you an honest assessment.
