Roofing · Burlington, VT
A ceiling stain that keeps spreading deserves a roof check before the next storm. One roofing square measures 100 square feet, a useful starting point when comparing the area that needs attention.

We inspect residential and commercial roofs, checking shingles, flashing, and drainage; visits typically cost $150–$400 depending on roof size and access.
Shingle repair covers torn or missing field shingles, lifted ridge caps, and chimney flashing leaks. Most Vermont jobs run $300–$1,500 based on damaged area and how hard the leak source is to reach.
A ceiling stain after a cold spell may point to meltwater backing up at the eaves, not a leak directly above the mark. Ice dams form when that backed-up water cannot drain cleanly, and Vermont’s frequent freeze-thaw cycles stress shingles and flashing. Check from the ground for a thick ice band at the roof edge; do not climb onto an icy roof.
Granules collecting in gutters can also signal shingle wear, while a sudden leak may need attention before the next rain. An ice barrier protects the eaves, while field underlayment covers the roof deck; our Roof Inspection checks whether those layers and roof ventilation are doing their jobs.
Ventilation helps manage attic heat and moisture, which can affect how quickly the roof assembly dries. For a focused explanation of winter chimney leaks, read our Burlington roof flashing guide. Bring in our crew when stains continue or you cannot identify the leak safely.
If a storm leaves a roof exposed or an older roof starts leaking, we help Vermont homeowners and property managers identify the repair that fits the damage. At University of Vermont in Burlington, frequent freeze-thaw cycles stress shingles and flashing, so our assessment looks closely at roof joints as well as the visible surface.
We follow the International Residential Code as applicable to the work, and explain what the roof needs before recommending a repair. Three-tab shingles commonly cover about 33⅓ square feet per bundle, a useful material-planning detail when a repair requires replacement shingles.
We also assess attic ventilation and handle gutter repair or replacement when drainage problems contribute to roof trouble. Metal roof panels may suit some roof designs, but the right choice depends on the existing structure and project scope.
See Roof Inspection options for details on focused assessment.
A leak can come from a small damaged area or a larger roof section, so the first quote should reflect the actual scope. Roof pitch is measured as rise per 12 inches; a steeper slope can change access needs and the time required for the work. Roofing bundles cover about 33 square feet each, so material quantity depends on the measured area and repair plan.
Our itemized quotes separate the work and its cost drivers. A roof inspection is typically $150–$400, depending on roof size and access.
Shingle repair commonly runs $300–$1,500, driven by the damaged area and leak source. Flashing repair is often $300–$1,200, depending on chimney or penetration complexity.
Asphalt shingle replacement can range from $8,000–$22,000, based on roof area and tear-off. In Burlington, autumn foliage can clog gutters and downspouts, so drainage issues may also affect a repair scope.
Estimates vary by roof size, materials, access, and hidden damage; final quotes depend on project scope and site conditions. Call (555) 010-0000 to discuss an itemized quote.
A structural roof alteration may require a Burlington building permit, so confirm the project scope before work begins. The City of Burlington Department of Permitting and Inspections can clarify local requirements, while Vermont Residential Building Energy Standards may apply when roof work affects the building envelope. Summer thunderstorms bring gusts, hail, and heavy rain, making weather-aware planning important when a roof is open.
We discuss applicable requirements with you and plan safe work practices. OSHA fall-protection rules apply to roofing work at height, and older homes may need extra care: the EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule covers applicable work in pre-1978 housing.
If the project could disturb asbestos-containing materials, EPA requirements may affect how those materials are handled. We flag relevant concerns before work proceeds, rather than treating every roof project as the same.
For Burlington properties, we can help identify the permit question to resolve before the repair is scheduled.
Why us
Vermont homeowners get careful roof attention and clear communication from a team that knows the state’s homes and weather.
The owner grew up in Burlington and learned roofing on Vermont crews. That local experience informs careful work on older homes and steep roofs exposed to wet springs, heavy snow, and freeze-thaw cycles.
The team schedules inspections and repair visits across Vermont, grouping jobs by region when weather and road conditions allow. Customers receive a clear explanation of the roof’s condition and proposed work.
Our process
From your first call through completed repairs, the team keeps the work and expectations clear.
Tell the team what you have noticed and where it appears. They gather the details needed to discuss an inspection or repair visit and help set expectations for next steps.
The crew checks the roof and photographs existing damage before repair work. You receive a clear explanation of the roof’s condition, including relevant access or safety concerns.
The crew protects landscaping, keeps occupants clear of active work zones, and stages materials away from gutters and walkways. You receive an update on the completed repair and any observed concerns.
Warning signs
Granules collecting in gutters can signal wear on asphalt shingles. Notice whether the material appears after rain or routine gutter clearing, and consider an inspection to understand the roof’s condition before visible damage spreads.
Leaves and other debris blocking downspouts can interrupt roof drainage. Vermont’s autumn foliage often adds to gutter buildup; check that water can flow freely and look for overflow marks near the roof edge.
A loose or damaged roof vent can leave an opening for wind-driven snow or rain. From the ground, look for a visibly shifted cover or damaged edges, and ask a roofer to assess concerns safely.
Hail can bruise asphalt shingles even when damage is hard to see from below. After a storm, note visible marks or debris without climbing onto the roof, then arrange an inspection if you suspect impact damage.
Through the year
Spring
Spring thaw can expose damage left by winter, while spring rain tests aging shingles and roof drainage. An inspection can help identify repair needs before ongoing moisture reaches interior finishes or roof materials.
Summer
Summer thunderstorms can bring gusts, hail, and heavy rain, while humidity may slow roof-deck drying. Arrange an inspection if storm conditions raise concerns, and ask whether suspected damage needs repair.
Fall
Falling foliage can clog gutters and downspouts, and windstorms may bring down branches.
Winter
Heavy snowfall varies across Vermont’s mountain and valley elevations, and cold eaves can develop ice dams. Snow and ice also make roof work hazardous, so crews pause when conditions are unsafe.
Real situations
Water appears at a ceiling light, but the roof source is not clear. Moisture near electrical fixtures deserves prompt attention; avoid touching a wet fixture and contact a qualified professional.
The team inspects the roof, photographs existing damage, and explains the roof condition and proposed repair before work begins. The repair addresses the agreed roof scope; the ceiling fixture may need separate evaluation.
Before you hire
Permit requirements can vary by location and scope. Ask whether any local permit steps may apply and who will clarify them, so responsibilities are understood before work begins.
The team schedules across Vermont and groups jobs by region when weather and road conditions allow. Ask how those conditions could affect timing and how schedule changes will be communicated.
A clear scope helps distinguish the repair being proposed from other roof concerns that may be found. Ask what areas and tasks are included, and what would require separate approval.
Confirming roof access and ladder placement before arrival helps the crew plan safely. Ask whether gates, vehicles, or other obstructions should be moved so the planned access area is available.
Review the written terms for the agreed work, payment timing, changes to scope, and cancellation conditions. Clear expectations help you understand what you are authorizing before the crew starts.

Straight answers for customers in Burlington, VT on pricing, delivery, and scheduling.
Yes, an ice-and-water shield is a self-adhered membrane that can protect vulnerable roof areas, but the right repair depends on where water is entering. We check how underlayment sheds water and whether flashing at roof joints or penetrations needs attention.
A roof valley is where two roof slopes meet, so water from both sides drains through that junction. From the ground, note where the ceiling stain appears and whether it worsens after rain, then arrange an assessment rather than walking on the roof.
Yes, the soffit is the underside of the roof overhang, and visible damage there can be a reason to check nearby roof edges and drainage. We can assess the soffit and fascia, the trim board at the roof edge, to see what needs repair.
No, water around a skylight can come from flashing that is no longer protecting the joint, so replacement is not the only possible repair. Note when the leak appears and where the interior stain forms, then ask E2E-small-state-percityai-plain to assess the roof connection.
Yes, asphalt shingle repair may suit localized damage when surrounding shingles and the roof deck remain in workable condition. The repair scope depends on the damaged area and leak source; share clear ground-level photos when requesting an assessment.
