Our roofers tear off worn shingles and lay new architectural shingle roofs on houses across Berks and Lancaster Counties, from the shop in Wernersville.
Amatucci Roofing installs shingle roofs on houses across Berks County and northern Lancaster County, working out of a shop in Wernersville. The same crew that pulls the permit tears off the old roof, repairs the deck, and lays the new shingles.
A shingle roof job starts with a measure and a written price, not a sales pitch at the kitchen table. Homeowners on Google rate the work 5 stars and name the clean yard first.

A shingle roof done right delivers five results: a sound deck, sealed valleys, balanced attic venting, straight shingle lines, and a clean yard.
Tear-off exposes the plywood or plank deck. The crew replaces soft boards and renails loose sheathing before a single shingle goes down. A flat, solid deck keeps the courses straight and holds the nails that hold the roof.
Valleys, chimneys, and pipe boots carry the water that ruins ceilings. New ice and water barrier lines each valley, and new step flashing ties the roof into the walls. Old flashing reused under new shingles starts the next leak.
A shingle roof lasts as long as the attic under it stays dry and cool. Ridge vent at the peak pairs with open soffit intake, so summer heat and winter moisture leave the attic instead of cooking the shingles.
Architectural shingles, also named dimensional shingles, carry two bonded layers and a heavier profile than flat 3-tab strips. Straight courses and correct nailing, six nails on a steep pitch, hold the shingles through Berks County wind.
Old shingles, bent nails, and tear-off debris leave with the crew. A magnet sweep covers the lawn, the beds, and the driveway. Google reviewers name the cleanup first when they describe a finished roof.
Signs that shingles are done show on the roof and inside the house. Curled or cupped tabs, bald patches where the granules washed off, and dark streaks mark the shaded slope. A homeowner finds shingle grit in the gutters and at the foot of the downspouts.
Inside, a brown ring on a bedroom ceiling or daylight between the attic boards points at failed flashing or a deck that stayed wet. A roof past 20 years with two of these signs earns a tear-off rather than another patch.
