Residential Roofing in Bennington, Vermont
At Herman Exterior Homes, we install residential roofing systems for homeowners across Bennington that are built to handle heavy snow, ice, and everything in between.
You know how it is in Bennington, the winters can be brutal on a house. We see it all the time. Heavy snow piles up, then a warm day causes melt, which refreezes at your gutters overnight. That's how you get ice dams, which can force water under your shingles and into your home.
You need a roof installed by a team that understands this. We build every roofing system to handle Southern Vermont's weather, using the right underlayment, proper ventilation to keep your attic temperature stable, and materials that can take a beating from season to season.

While our main office is just over the border in New York, our crews are in Southern Vermont all the time, helping Bennington residents protect and beautify their homes. We’re not some out-of-state storm chaser; we're your neighbors who are committed to doing top-quality work in the communities we serve.
We focus on craftsmanship and use some of the best asphalt shingle and roofing materials in the industry. And if you're worried about the upfront cost, we have you covered.
We also offer Roof Financing!
At Herman Exterior Homes we understand Bennington homes, from the historic properties in Old Bennington to the newer builds further out. We can help you choose the right material for your home and budget, whether it’s the classic look of architectural asphalt shingles, a standing seam metal roof that sheds snow like a champ, or even cedar shakes to maintain that timeless New England charm.
At Herman Exterior Homes, we pride ourselves on delivering the best customer service to Bennington homeowners. Getting a new roof is a big deal, and we don't take your trust for granted. Here’s what that means to us: we show up when we say we will, we keep you in the loop on progress, and we keep the job site as clean and safe as possible.

Whether you choose asphalt shingles or a standing seam metal roof, you’ll get a fair price. Plus, we stand behind our work with a workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer's warranty, so you're protected for the long haul.

If you're looking for a shingle with a richer, more dimensional look that can also stand up to algae streaks and fading from our strong summer sun, the Landmark series is a fantastic choice. We recommend these for homeowners in Manchester who want a premium look that's also tough as nails against our intense winter storms.

Asphalt shingles are the most popular choice for roofing in Bennington, and for good reason. They offer a great balance of performance, affordability, and style. We often install Owens Corning shingles because their SureNail® strip provides incredible wind resistance, a big plus during those gusty Vermont storms. They offer a huge range of bold colors, giving you both top-tier protection and great curb appeal.

Homeowners in Vermont often ask us about metal roofing because it’s a smart, long-term investment for our climate. Standing seam metal roofs are amazing at shedding snow, which helps prevent ice dams. They last for decades with very little maintenance, and they offer a clean, modern look that works on a variety of home styles.

Ice dams are the enemy of any Vermont roof. We’ve seen the damage they can cause firsthand. The key isn't just dealing with the ice; it's building a roof system that prevents them from forming in the first place. That means ensuring your attic has proper insulation and ventilation to stop the roof from heating up and melting snow, combined with a strong ice and water shield at the eaves as a critical last line of defense.
We believe in being upfront about cost. An asphalt shingle roof is typically the most budget-friendly option. A standing seam metal roof is more of an upfront investment, but its long lifespan can make it a better value over time. No matter what you choose, our estimates are detailed and clear. We'll lay out all the costs for labor, materials, and cleanup so you can make an informed decision with no hidden fees.
