Manchester’s winters bring heavy snowfall, frequent freeze–thaw cycles, and subzero temperatures that push any roof to its limits. Those constant freeze-thaw cycles create ice dams that can force water under your shingles and into your home. We've seen the damage it can cause firsthand.That’s why every roof we install is a complete system, built specifically for a Vermont winter. We use heavy-duty ice and water shield barriers, ensure your attic has proper ventilation to stay cool, and use materials that can take a beating.
We start every project with a thorough roof inspection and honest recommendations.
While our main office is just over the border in New York, our crews live and work in these communities.
We also know a new roof is a big investment, and you shouldn't have to put it off. That's why we don't just hand you a quote and walk away. We offer straightforward financing options to make sure you can get the quality protection your home needs, with a payment plan that works for you.

We’re not just roofers who work in Manchester; we understand the homes here. We know that a classic farmhouse might need a different approach than a modern home with a view of Equinox. We'll talk you through the options, whether it's architectural shingles, or a standing seam metal roof, which is becoming a favorite for how well it sheds snow, we help materials to style and climate.
Our crews are highly trained and treat each project with care. We provide clear communication, on-time service, and meticulous installation. From laying waterproof underlayment to finishing the last ridge cap, every detail is handled with precision. We don’t cut corners, and our workmanship often exceeds building code requirements.
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden fees. Estimates are detailed and put in writing. The price we quote is the price you pay. And we back our work with a real workmanship guarantee on top of the manufacturer's warranty, which is especially important in a state where contractor licensing isn't always required.
Our reputation in Manchester and the surrounding towns means everything to us. We're proud of our 5-star reviews because they come from homeowners just like you who trusted us with their homes and loved the results.

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.

We primarily install premium architectural asphalt shingles from trusted manufacturers like Owens Corning and CertainTeed, known for strength in harsh climates. We also specialize in standing seam metal roofing, a favorite for those who want maximum longevity and snow-shedding performance. Every roof is built with high-grade materials proven to hold up under Vermont’s weather extremes.
Ice dams are a constant concern in Vermont. To protect your home, we install waterproof underlayment at eaves and valleys, ensure proper attic ventilation, and confirm insulation is sufficient to keep the roof deck cold. For metal roofs or steep slopes, we may add snow guards or recommend heated cables to control buildup. With the right combination of underlayment, ventilation, and materials, your roof can withstand even the toughest Manchester winters.
Costs vary depending on material and home size, but asphalt shingles remain the most budget-friendly choice. Metal, slate, and cedar fall into premium ranges but provide longer lifespans and greater protection. Synthetic materials often strike a balance between cost and durability. Our estimates are detailed, transparent, and include all labor, materials, and cleanup. Financing is available to help spread out the investment.
For shedding snow, nothing beats metal. But high-quality architectural shingles are an amazing, reliable choice. Our licensed professionals will walk you through the pros and cons for your specific home and budget.
