Roofing Services in Pike County, PA
Pike County roofs live under trees. Between the Delaware State Forest, the private lake communities, and the wooded lots around Milford, Dingmans Ferry, and Bushkill, most roofs here spend their lives in shade, under branches, and — for a large share of owners — unwatched for months at a time, because so many Pike County properties are second homes. Allesson Roofing covers the county from East Stroudsburg, roughly 30–45 minutes down Route 209 depending on where you are.

Common Roofing Problems in Pike County, PA
Trees are the county’s roofing story. Falling limbs punch holes; smaller branches grind granules off shingles; needles and leaves pack gutters and valleys; and constant shade keeps roofs damp, which is why moss and algae streaking show up here years before they would on an open lot. Trimming back overhangs and cleaning valleys annually adds real years to a Pike County roof — and when a tree does win, our guide to tree damage roof repair walks you through the insurance and repair process.
Second homes, late discoveries. A huge share of Pike County properties sit empty for weeks or months. A February ice dam or a spring branch strike goes unnoticed until someone opens the door to a stained ceiling. If you’re an absentee owner, a scheduled inspection after winter and after storm season is the cheapest protection available — ours are free.
Cabins and seasonal construction. Many older cabins were built light, with minimal attic ventilation. Upgrading ventilation during a re-roof prevents the condensation and premature shingle aging we routinely find in these homes.
Private community logistics. Gated communities and private roads are no problem — we coordinate access and follow each association’s contractor rules.

Pike County Roofing Questions, Answered
1. What roofing material handles Pike County's heavy snow best?
Metal roofing is the top choice for the Lake Wallenpaupack area. It excels in shedding heavy snow loads effortlessly, outperforming traditional asphalt shingles which can suffer from ice dams and structural stress after intense winter storms.
2. How long do asphalt shingles last in the Pike County climate?
In our region, quality asphalt shingles typically last between 20 to 30 years. While they effectively resist rain and wind, choosing architectural-grade shingles is highly recommended for better wind resistance and protection against the Poconos’ unpredictable weather.
3. Is slate roofing a good investment for older homes in Pike County?
Yes, slate is an excellent choice for historic properties, often lasting over 100 years. It is naturally resistant to the freeze-thaw cycles common in PA. However, due to its weight, a structural inspection of the home’s frame is required before installation.
4. Do wood shakes perform well near the lake and humid environments?
Wood shakes offer a beautiful rustic appearance perfect for lakeside cabins, but they require regular professional treatment. In the humid environment near Lake Wallenpaupack, untreated wood is susceptible to moisture-related issues like rot, moss, and mold.
5. What is the best repair solution after a storm in Greentown or Hawley?
For wind and hail damage, replacing damaged asphalt shingles with impact-resistant materials is often the most cost-effective solution. Prompt repairs are essential in Pike County to prevent water infiltration during the spring thaw.
