In our Winooski climate, look for rust-colored streaks running down from roof penetrations like chimneys or vents, which indicate flashing rust. For granule loss, check your gutters for an accumulation of sand-like granules, especially after storms, or notice dark, inconsistent patches on your roof where the protective layer has worn away. Both issues can lead to leaks. We address this with a thorough roof inspection to assess the damage, followed by targeted repairs or replacement of affected flashing and shingles to restore your roof's integrity against local weather.

Our attic inspection is a key part of assessing your home's exterior health. We check for proper ventilation, signs of moisture or mold, insulation levels, and, crucially, any evidence of leaks from the roof decking above. This allows us to identify hidden problems like inadequate airflow or water intrusion that can cause energy loss and structural damage. It's a preventative measure that helps us recommend the right repairs, whether it's roof ventilation improvements, targeted roof repairs, or full replacement, ensuring your entire roofing system functions properly.

For Vermont's weather, we often recommend composite decking or pressure-treated lumber for durability and resistance to rot and insects. Composite materials require very little maintenance—no staining or sealing—and withstand freeze-thaw cycles well. For railings, aluminum or composite systems offer longevity and safety with minimal upkeep. During our deck design consultation, we'll discuss your budget, style preferences, and usage to help select the best material for a deck that will last for years with the care appropriate for our local conditions.
