Wings Home Improvements | Roofing Services in Newport, VT 05855

Proper roof ventilation is critical in our climate. It regulates attic temperature, preventing snow from melting unevenly on your roof and refreezing at the eaves to form ice dams. These dams force meltwater under your shingles, causing leaks. We perform inspections to assess your ventilation and can install solutions like ridge vents or soffit vents as part of a repair or replacement to protect your home from this common local issue.

Overflowing gutters in spring often indicate a clog, damage, or improper sizing for our heavy meltwater flow. We start with a cleaning and inspection. If sections are sagging, leaking, or pulling away, a repair might suffice. However, if they are old, undersized, or extensively damaged, a full replacement with a larger, seamless system is a more reliable, long-term solution to properly channel water away from your roof, siding, and foundation.

While repairs can fix isolated leaks, widespread issues often require a replacement. Key signs include multiple leaks, extensive shingle curling or loss, daylight visible through the roof boards, or persistent ice dam damage. Given our harsh winters, an aging roof (typically 20+ years) with these problems may not withstand another season. We provide honest assessments to determine if a repair will hold or if a replacement is the wiser investment for your home's protection.
