Amatucci Roofing sets new skylights and repairs leaking ones across Berks and Lancaster Counties, working from the Wernersville shop, phones open 24 hours.
Amatucci Roofing has cut, set and repaired skylights on Berks County homes since 1972, and the same family still runs the shop. Skylight work happens on the roof, so a roofer carries it from the shingles to the ceiling drywall.
The crew frames the opening, sets the unit on a curb, weaves new metal flashing into the shingle field, and closes the light shaft inside. Older units come out as the new skylight goes in.

The crew handles five kinds of skylight work: fixed units, vented units, tubular daylights, flashing replacement, and glass and curb repair.
A fixed skylight is a sealed glass panel that never opens. Fixed units suit stairwells, hallways, and bathrooms that want daylight rather than airflow, and a frame with no moving parts keeps the leak path simple.
A vented skylight opens on a hinge, by hand crank or by remote motor. Vented units pull hot air out of a kitchen or a bathroom in July and clear shower steam off the ceiling.
A tubular daylight carries sunlight down a reflective tube from a small dome on the roof into a windowless room. Closets, laundry rooms, and interior hallways take a tube where a full skylight does not fit.
Skylight flashing is the metal collar that ties the frame into the shingle field. The crew strips the old collar, sets fresh head, sill, and step pieces, and relays the shingles over the new metal.
Fogged glass and rotted curb wood turn an older skylight into a leak. The crew swaps the glazing panel or rebuilds the wood curb under the frame, then reflashes the opening and seals the joint.
Three signs point to a failing skylight: a brown ring on the ceiling, fog between the panes, and daylight at the frame edge. A drip during heavy rain that dries up in fair weather points at the flashing rather than the glass. Older plastic skylight domes crack and yellow, and the seal at the curb hardens.
New skylight openings start from the inside: a dark stairwell, a north-facing kitchen, or a bathroom with no window. The crew measures rafter spacing in the attic before pricing a skylight opening.
Two ranges frame what homeowners pay. Roofers in the area quote $1,651 to $2,236 for a skylight replacement, with a full spread of $774 to $3,874.
| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Skylight replacement, typical job | $1,651 to $2,236 |
| Skylight replacement, low to high spread | $774 to $3,874 |
Unit size, roof pitch, curb framing, and the length of the ceiling shaft move the number. The crew prices each skylight after measuring the opening on site.
The crew covers towns across Berks County and Lancaster County from the Wernersville shop, including Reading, Sinking Spring, Wyomissing, Shillington, Lititz, and Ephrata.
