Our experienced pack of roofers are masters of their craft, handling every installation with meticulous care, from proper underlayment to the final shingle cap. We work efficiently, cleanly, and always with an eye for detail, ensuring your roof isn't just sturdy, but also a beautiful addition to your home's aesthetic.
Built to Handle Northeast Pennsylvania Weather
Shingle roofs in our region deal with all kinds of stress—heavy snow, ice dams, driving rain, high winds, and long exposure to the sun. At Ruff Roofing, we install shingle systems built for it. We use proper underlayment, ventilation, and flashing to help shed snow and ice before it turns into water damage. Our installations focus on tight sealing at valleys and roof edges to keep water from sneaking in during storms. Shingles are nailed down using patterns that hold up when the wind picks up, and we choose materials built to handle UV without cracking or curling.
Fixing Shingle Roofing Issues
At Ruff Roofing, we’ve seen what happens when roofing problems go unchecked. Here are a few of the most common trouble spots we run into—and what we do to prevent them from turning into major repairs:
Curling
Usually caused by poor ventilation, old age, or improper installation
We strip back the problem areas and install hip and ridge caps to create a tighter seal at peaks and edges
Valley Leaks
Valleys are where two roof slopes meet—making them a prime spot for water to collect and leak
We install ice and water barriers under the shingles in these spots to block moisture
Attic Ventilation
Without proper airflow, heat and moisture build up in the attic, weakening shingles from underneath
We add or adjust ridge vents, soffit vents, or fans to balance the intake and outflow of air
How we Replace a Shingle Roof
When it’s time to replace your roof, we keep the process simple, clear, and on track. We handle every step ourselves. No handoffs, no confusion, no subcontractors knocking on your door. Here’s how it works when you hire Ruff Roofing for a shingle roof replacement in Northeast PA.
Inspection & Estimate
We start by checking out your current roof. We’re looking at shingle condition, flashing, venting, decking, and signs of water damage. You’ll get a clear rundown of what’s going on, plus a written estimate.
Scheduling & Material Order
We stick with manufacturers like GAF that back their product with warranties and dependable quality. If the weather’s cooperative and suppliers are running on time, we’re usually ready to begin within a week.
Tear-Off
On the first day of the job, we remove the old shingles. That includes underlayment, old nails, and any worn-out flashing. If the decking underneath shows signs of rot or sagging, we replace it.
Deck Prep & Underlayment
Once the old layers are gone, we prep the roof deck. That includes laying down ice and water barrier near the eaves, valleys, and penetrations, followed by synthetic underlayment across the field of the roof. These steps help block moisture and give the new shingles a stable surface.
Shingle Installation
We install the new shingles using a staggered pattern and nailed according to the manufacturer’s spec. Ridge vents, pipe boots, flashing, and drip edge all go in next. This is where the roof starts to take shape.
Final Cleanup
When the work is done, we clean up everything—shingle scraps, nails, leftover material. We sweep the area with magnetic rollers and bag the debris ourselves. You won’t be left with a mess in the yard or driveway.
Walkthrough & Warranty Paperwork
We walk the job with you to make sure everything’s wrapped up. We go over the warranty registration for your new roof and answer any questions you have before heading out.
