Valley Peak Roofing - Your Trusted Local Contractor Since 2020

45.35" Annual Precipitation
50-90 Freeze-Thaw Cycles
1777 Liberty Bell Heritage

Valley Peak Roofing brings specialized expertise to New Tripoli's unique roofing challenges, where 45.35 inches of annual precipitation and 50-90 freeze-thaw cycles at 581 feet elevation create demanding conditions for roofing materials. From the historic Frederick and Catherine Leaser Farm where the Liberty Bell was hidden in 1777 to Blue Mountain Ski Area's modern developments, we understand how New Tripoli'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 both the area's 1980s-1990s housing stock and its preserved Pennsylvania German heritage buildings.
