Shingle Roof Replacement, Underhill

This recent shingle roof replacement in Underhill, VT showcases our dedication to quality, efficiency, and attention to detail. The existing roof was stripped down to the decking and upgraded with Owens Corning architectural shingles—built to perform in Vermont’s demanding climate while enhancing curb appeal.

In addition to the roof, we also replaced all the fascia and soffit around the home. While not shown in the photo, this work helps ensure proper ventilation, protects the roof structure, and gives the home a clean, finished look.

Scope of Work:

• Complete roof tear-off and decking inspection

• New underlayment and Owens Corning architectural shingle installation

• Full fascia and soffit replacement

Our crew begins the tear-off process, carefully removing the old shingles and underlayment to inspect the roof decking beneath. This step is crucial for identifying any hidden damage and ensuring a solid foundation for the new Owens Corning shingle system. Safety lines, proper staging, and clean jobsite setup help us maintain a safe and efficient work environment from start to finish.

After completing the tear-off and inspecting the roof deck, our team installed high-performance synthetic underlayment to create a water-resistant barrier beneath the shingles. This critical layer helps protect the home from moisture infiltration and adds an extra line of defense against Vermont’s unpredictable weather. Clean lines and tight fastening ensure long-term durability and performance.

With the underlayment in place, our team installed Owens Corning architectural shingles, known for their durability, curb appeal, and weather resistance. Each row was carefully aligned and nailed to manufacturer specifications to ensure long-term performance and a clean, professional finish. These shingles are built to withstand Vermont’s toughest seasons while enhancing the home's overall appearance.

To complete the roofing system, we installed a continuous ridge vent along the peak of the roof to promote proper attic ventilation and reduce heat and moisture buildup. This was followed by capping the ridge with matching Owens Corning shingle caps, ensuring a seamless look and watertight seal. Proper ventilation extends the life of the roof and contributes to better energy efficiency year-round.

Once installation was complete, our team conducted a thorough walkthrough, inspecting every shingle by hand to ensure proper fastening, alignment, and seal. We take pride in delivering a roof that’s not only visually clean but structurally sound—built to last through Vermont’s harshest conditions. No detail is overlooked, and every project ends with a full-site cleanup and final quality assurance check.

Shingle Roof Replacement, Burlington

We recently wrapped up a major roofing project at Building 4 of the River Watch Condominiums in Burlington, where our team replaced over 100 square—one of our largest shingle jobs this year.

This project was more than just a roof replacement. We also upgraded multiple skylights to improve energy efficiency and bring in more natural light for the homeowners. For the shingles, we used CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles, which offer a perfect balance of durability, style, and long-term protection—ideal for Vermont's unpredictable weather.

Our crew worked efficiently to minimize disruption for the residents while maintaining our signature craftsmanship and attention to detail. From prep to final inspection, the job was done cleanly and professionally.

Whether you're managing a multi-unit property or looking to upgrade your home, we’ve got the tools and team to deliver results that last.

Our team begins the full roof tear-off at Building 4 of the River Watch Condominiums, stripping over 100 square of old shingles to expose the decking beneath. This essential first step allows us to inspect for damage, make necessary repairs, and prepare the surface for a clean and durable new installation.

Following the tear-off, our crew installed Grace Ice & Water Shield in all critical areas for maximum moisture protection, including eaves and valleys. Over the rest of the roof deck, we applied CertainTeed’s synthetic underlayment to create a durable, weather-resistant barrier beneath the shingles. This dual-layer system ensures long-term protection against Vermont’s harsh weather conditions.

As part of the upgrade at River Watch Condominiums, we installed new Velux skylights to improve natural lighting and energy efficiency for the homeowners. Each skylight was properly flashed and integrated into the roofing system to ensure a watertight seal and long-lasting performance. We also completed all interior finishing. Velux products are known for their reliability and sleek design—an ideal addition to this large-scale roofing project.

Our team installed CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles, chosen for their durability, aesthetic appeal, and long-term weather resistance. Each shingle was carefully aligned and fastened to manufacturer specifications to ensure a clean finish and dependable performance. This high-quality roofing system provides lasting protection for this large multi-unit building.

The finished roof at River Watch Condominiums showcases a flawless installation of CertainTeed Landmark shingles. Every shingle was hand-inspected during our final walkthrough to ensure perfect alignment, proper sealing, and long-term durability. The result is a clean, professional finish built to withstand Vermont’s toughest weather—delivered with the highest attention to detail.

Shingle Roof Replacement, Fairfax

When it comes to protecting your home, your roof is your first line of defense. At Rivers Construction, we recently completed a full shingle roof replacement for a homeowner in Chittenden County who needed a durable, weather-resistant upgrade.

The existing shingles had reached the end of their lifespan, and signs of wear—including leaks and lifting shingles—made this project a top priority. Our crew stripped the old roof down to the decking and installed new synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield protection, and a fresh layer of high-performance architectural shingles.

What We Did:

• Full tear-off of existing roof shingles

• Installed synthetic underlayment and ice & water barrier

We completed the project efficiently and safely, using a combination of harnesses, roof jacks, and lifts to access all areas of the roof. Our goal is always to leave the home cleaner and better protected than when we arrived.

This project is a great example of our commitment to quality, safety, and clear communication from start to finish.

Standing Seam Roof Replacement, Essex

We’re proud to share the completion of a recent standing seam metal roofing project in Essex, Vermont, where our team installed new roofs on three separate buildings on the same property. This was a complex, detailed job that required coordination, craftsmanship, and attention to every seam—and the result is something we’re truly proud of.

Standing seam roofing is one of the most durable and visually striking options available today. It offers long-term protection against the elements, minimal maintenance, and a modern, clean aesthetic that elevates any structure. For this project, we ensured each panel was custom-fit and installed with precision to deliver a cohesive, polished look across all three buildings.

From day one, our goal was to deliver a high-quality, long-lasting solution that would meet the homeowner’s vision and expectations. By the time the last panel was locked into place, the transformation was undeniable—and the homeowner couldn’t be happier with the result.

What made this project stand out:

• Three unique structures, each tied together with a consistent, professional finish

• Enhanced weather resistance for year-round protection in Vermont’s climate

• Sharp, clean lines that elevate the property’s overall appearance

• Fully completed by our in-house standing seam crew—no outsourcing, no shortcuts

This was a rewarding project for our entire team, and it’s a reminder of what’s possible when great design meets skilled execution. If you’re considering a standing seam roof for your home, barn, or outbuilding, we’d be happy to walk you through the process.
