This is a very common issue here in the Northeast Kingdom. The heavy snow and ice buildup from our winters can lead to ice dams, which force water back under your shingles. Once the snow melts, that trapped water finds its way inside. Winter weather can also loosen flashing around skylights and chimneys. We recommend a professional spring inspection to identify and repair this hidden damage before it leads to more serious issues like mold or rot.

Often, a leaky skylight can be repaired without a full roof replacement. The problem is usually with the flashing—the metal seal around the skylight—which can crack or pull away due to freeze-thaw cycles. Our team will carefully inspect the area, replace or reseal the flashing, and ensure the surrounding shingles are intact. We always aim for the most targeted, cost-effective repair to solve your specific leak.

For our climate, we recommend materials with proven durability against snow, ice, and moisture. High-quality architectural asphalt shingles with strong ice and water shield underlayment are an excellent, cost-effective choice. For longer-lasting options, consider metal roofing, which sheds snow efficiently and is highly resistant to ice dam damage. During a consultation, we'll assess your home and budget to recommend the best material to keep you dry for years to come.
