The first step in any roof replacement project is selecting the right materials. In Southern Vermont and Southern New Hampshire, your roof needs to withstand heavy snow, freezing rain, ice, and strong winds. Popular roofing materials for this climate include:

Architectural Asphalt Shingles — Affordable, durable, and reliable for harsh New England winters.

Metal Roofing — Extremely durable, sheds snow easily, and offers excellent longevity.

Composite and Synthetic Roofing — Gives the look of slate or wood without the maintenance headaches.

Concrete and Clay Tiles — Durable and energy-efficient, though more common in select architectural styles.

TPO and EPDM Roofing — Ideal for flat or low-slope roofing often found on commercial properties. Choosing the right material will help your roof perform better against the tough seasonal weather we experience in Vermont and New Hampshire.

Understands local building codes and regional weather challenges.
