Roofing in Vermont

Vermont sits in the New England mountains, where the heavy snow, the ice dams, and the freeze-thaw cycles test every roof. The winters pile on the snow, the ice dams form at the eaves, and the humid summers feed the algae on the shaded slopes. Roofing in Vermont means building roofs for the snow, the ice, and the cold — and we do it in 3 cities in the Chittenden County area.

The Roofing Regions of Vermont

The state is small, and the roofs in the Chittenden County area face the same mountain climate.

The Burlington area — Burlington, South Burlington, Essex, and Winooski — faces the heavy snow, the lake-effect snow off Lake Champlain, and the ice dams.

Vermont Roofing Considerations

The winter is the dominant force. The heavy snow piles on the roofs and the attic heat melts it unevenly. The ice dams form at the cold eaves and the water backs up under the shingles. The ice-and-water shield and the cold attic ventilation are the standard defenses.

The freeze-thaw cycles stress the flashing and the seals. The temperature swings through the winter open the gaps that the spring rain finds.

The humid summers support the algae and the moss on the north-facing slopes.
