Hear from Our Customers
You stop wondering if your roof will hold up through the next storm. The leaks stop. The ice dams don’t form. Your heating bills drop because your attic isn’t bleeding warm air into the cold.
Your home looks better from the street. You’re not scrambling to find buckets when it rains. And when you decide to sell, you’ve got documentation showing a quality roof that adds real value.
That’s what happens when the work is done correctly from the start. No shortcuts. No cheap materials that fail in three years. Just a roof system designed for the freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and temperature swings that Bennington throws at it every winter.
We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor. That’s not just a badge—it means we met strict requirements for quality, reliability, and customer service that most roofing contractors can’t or won’t meet.
We’ve worked on homes throughout Bennington and the surrounding New Hampshire area for over 12 years. We know what happens when roofs aren’t built for this climate. We’ve seen the water damage from improper flashing, the structural issues from ice dams, and the premature failures from wrong material choices.
We handle roof replacements, repairs, maintenance, gutters, skylights, and chimney work. Everything your roof system needs to function properly, we do it. And we do it with crews who show up when scheduled and finish what they start.
First, you schedule an on-site consultation. We inspect your current roof, check for underlying damage, measure everything, and discuss what you actually need—not what makes us the most money.
You get a detailed estimate that breaks down materials, labor, timeline, and warranty coverage. No surprises. No vague line items. If we find something during tear-off that changes the scope, we talk to you before proceeding.
Once you approve, we schedule your project with a dedicated crew. They tear off the old roof, inspect and repair the decking if needed, install proper underlayment and ice-and-water shield in vulnerable areas, then install your new roofing system according to manufacturer specs. We handle permits, cleanup, and final inspection.
The whole process typically takes 2-4 days for most residential roofs, weather depending. You get documentation of all work completed, warranty information, and maintenance guidelines to protect your investment.

You’re getting materials designed for New Hampshire’s climate. That means proper ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys where ice dams form. It means adequate ventilation to prevent moisture buildup that rots decking from the inside. It means flashing details that don’t fail when snow piles up or wind drives rain sideways.
We use Owens Corning and Mule Hide products—brands known for durability in harsh climates. Your roof gets installed to handle the snow loads common in Bennington. That’s 50-70 pounds per square foot in a heavy winter, which requires proper structural support and installation technique.
Most New Hampshire homeowners spend between $6,600 and $19,500 for roof replacement, depending on size, pitch, and material choice. Asphalt shingles run around $5.37 per square foot installed. Metal costs more upfront but lasts 40-70 years versus 20-30 for asphalt.
You also get our attention to the details that prevent callbacks: proper starter strip, correct nail placement, sealed penetrations, and integrated gutter systems that move water away from your foundation. These aren’t extras. They’re standard because they’re necessary.
Ice dams happen when heat escapes through your roof, melts snow, and that water refreezes at the cold eaves. The ice builds up, traps more water, and eventually forces it under your shingles and into your home.
Prevention starts in your attic. You need proper insulation to keep heat inside your living space, not radiating through the roof deck. You need ventilation—soffit intake and ridge exhaust—to keep the attic temperature close to outside temperature. And you need ice-and-water shield membrane installed at eaves and valleys as a backup barrier.
During installation, we install a minimum of two rows of ice-and-water shield at eaves, which is more than code requires but necessary for Bennington’s climate. We also check your attic insulation and ventilation and recommend improvements if needed. You can’t fix ice dams with just roofing—you have to address the heat loss issue or they’ll keep forming.
Asphalt shingles typically last 20-30 years in New Hampshire if installed correctly. That’s shorter than the 30-50 year estimates you see on packaging because those numbers assume ideal conditions—which New Hampshire definitely isn’t.
Freeze-thaw cycles stress shingles. UV exposure breaks down asphalt. Wind lifts edges. Snow loads flex the entire roof structure. All of this shortens lifespan compared to milder climates.
Metal roofing lasts 40-70 years here because it handles temperature swings better and sheds snow before loads get dangerous. Slate can last 100+ years but costs significantly more upfront. Your actual lifespan depends on material choice, installation quality, ventilation, and maintenance. A poorly installed premium shingle will fail faster than a properly installed standard shingle. That’s why contractor choice matters as much as material choice.
Most homeowners in Bennington spend $6,600-$19,500 for complete roof replacement. That range covers a typical 1,500-2,500 square foot home with standard asphalt shingles, one layer of tear-off, and no major structural repairs.
You’ll pay more if your roof is steep, has multiple valleys and penetrations, needs decking replacement, or requires two-layer tear-off. You’ll also pay more for premium materials like architectural shingles, metal, or synthetic slate.
The cheapest bid isn’t usually the best value. Low bids often mean shortcuts—thinner underlayment, minimal ice-and-water shield, improper ventilation, or unlicensed crews. You’ll pay for those shortcuts later in callbacks, premature failure, or insurance claims. A quality roof installation recoups about 60-70% of cost in added home value and saves you money on heating, cooling, and repairs over its lifespan.
Yes, we handle emergency repairs year-round, including winter. If you’ve got an active leak, storm damage, or structural concern, waiting until spring isn’t an option.
Winter repairs are more complicated—we can’t install full roofing systems in freezing temperatures because adhesives won’t seal properly. But we can do temporary weatherproofing, tarp installation, ice dam removal, and emergency patching to stop water intrusion until conditions allow for permanent repairs.
If you’re dealing with ice dams, we can carefully remove ice, install heating cables as a temporary measure, and identify the underlying insulation or ventilation issues causing the problem. The key is stopping the immediate damage while planning the right permanent fix. Most emergency calls get a response within 24-48 hours depending on weather and current workload.
If your roof is under 15 years old, has localized damage, and the rest of the system is sound, repair usually makes sense. If it’s over 20 years old, has multiple problem areas, or you’re seeing granule loss and curling shingles, replacement is the better investment.
Here’s why: repairs on an aging roof become a cycle. You fix one leak, then another area fails six months later. You’re spending $500-$1,500 repeatedly on a roof that’s going to need full replacement soon anyway.
Replacement makes financial sense when repair costs exceed 25-30% of replacement cost, when you’re planning to sell within a few years, or when you’re seeing widespread wear. During our inspection, we’ll show you exactly what condition your roof is in and give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation and budget. Sometimes repair buys you 3-5 more years to save for replacement. Sometimes it’s just throwing money away.
Yes. We carry full liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. That protects you if someone gets injured on your property or if something gets damaged during the project.
We’re also an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, which requires maintaining proper licensing, insurance, and meeting quality standards that get audited regularly. Not every roofing contractor in New Hampshire carries adequate insurance—and if they don’t, you could be liable for injuries or damages.
Before hiring any roofing contractor, ask for proof of insurance and verify it’s current. Ask for references and check them. Verify they pull proper permits for your town. And get everything in writing—scope, timeline, payment schedule, and warranty coverage. The cheapest bid from an uninsured contractor might save you $2,000 upfront, but it could cost you $50,000 if something goes wrong and you’re held liable.
