Abstract
Disclosed is a roofing removal apparatus for removing existing shingles from a roof. The apparatus includes an elongate base member that has a front end and a back end. A frame is mounted on the base member, and a power source is secured to the frame. A pair of wheels are rotatable coupled to sides of the base member. An elongate upper member for separating the shingles from the roof is positioned on top of the base member. The upper member has a forward end and a rearward end. A pivot coupler is positioned between the upper member and the base member. A cam member is attached to the power source. A coupling member couples the upper member to the power source. A guard protects the power source from debris. A handle member for allows a user to control movement of the base member, and a control assembly for controls the power source.
