Valley Peak Roofing - Your Trusted Local Contractor Since 2020

47" Annual Precipitation
42 Freeze-Thaw Cycles
1798 Historic Homes Since

Valley Peak Roofing brings specialized expertise to Fogelsville's unique roofing challenges, where 42 annual freeze-thaw cycles and 47 inches of precipitation create the perfect storm for ice dam formation and material degradation. From Judge John Fogel's 1798 settlement to the modern Hills at Lock Ridge development, we understand how Fogelsville's valley position between Blue Mountain and South Mountain creates microclimates that test even premium roofing systems. Our GAF-certified installers deliver solutions engineered specifically for Pennsylvania German architecture and Upper Macungie Township's rapidly growing communities.
