Ceiling check and rafter measure
The visit starts indoors, under the stain the skylight left on the ceiling. The crew measures the rafter bay, sounds the deck for soft spots, and marks the unit size that suits the Lititz roof above.
Amatucci Roofing cuts, swaps and reseals skylights on Lititz roofs in Lancaster County, working from a Wernersville shop 15.8 miles away.
Amatucci Roofing works from Wernersville, 15.8 miles from Lititz, and fits skylights on Lancaster County roofs. The crew cuts fresh openings, swaps worn units, and rebuilds the roof flashing that lets water past.
A skylight leak shows on the ceiling first, and the roof gives up the cause second. The crew reads the stain, checks the curb, the glass seal and the flashing, then prices the repair after measuring.
The crew takes on four skylight jobs in Lititz: flashing leak repair, unit replacement, a first opening cut, and storm callouts.
Water at a skylight enters at the metal, not through the glass. The crew strips the courses beside the unit, sets fresh step and head flashing, then weaves the shingles back over the metal.
A tired skylight comes out and a new unit lands on the same curb. The Lititz roof deck stays closed, the ceiling below stays intact, and the swap finishes inside one working day.
A first skylight starts with an opening cut between two rafters and a curb framed to carry the load. The crew lays the cut out from below, then opens the Lititz roof once the unit sits on site.
Amatucci Roofing lists 24-hour availability, so a skylight leaking in a night storm reaches a roofer from Lititz. The crew reaches the roof once the wind drops, then rebuilds the flashing around the opening in daylight.

The crew works through a Lititz skylight job in four steps, from the ceiling check to the last shingle course.
The visit starts indoors, under the stain the skylight left on the ceiling. The crew measures the rafter bay, sounds the deck for soft spots, and marks the unit size that suits the Lititz roof above.
The deck opens between two rafters, and a curb goes up sized to the unit. Self-adhering membrane wraps the curb corners before the glass arrives, so meltwater sliding down a cold Lititz slope runs past the opening.
The skylight drops onto the curb, then the flashing kit follows: apron low, steps up the sides, head piece at the top. Shingle courses lap back over the metal, and the Lititz roof drains as one surface again.
Cutoffs, nails and the old unit leave with the crew, and the ground around the Lititz house is swept before the ladder comes down. Photos of the finished skylight and any borough paperwork reach the homeowner.
The crew fits skylights right across Lititz, including the streets near these five places:
Lititz homeowners ask four questions before a skylight job: price, permits, winter work, and the drive from Wernersville.
