Frequently Asked Questions About Asphalt Shingle Roofing
1. What are asphalt shingles made of?
Asphalt shingles are typically composed of a fiberglass or organic mat base that's coated with asphalt and finished with mineral granules. This layered construction provides a durable, water-resistant, and visually appealing roofing material.
2. Are asphalt shingles a good choice for Vermont weather?
Absolutely. Asphalt shingles are designed to perform well in a wide range of climates, including Vermont’s harsh winters. They hold up well against fluctuating temperatures, heavy snow, UV exposure, and strong winds.
3. How can I extend the life of my asphalt shingle roof?
Regular maintenance is key. We recommend inspecting your roof annually for signs of damage or wear. Clearing off debris like leaves and branches and addressing issues like missing shingles or worn flashing can help extend your roof’s lifespan.
4. Are asphalt shingles environmentally friendly?
Yes, many manufacturers offer recycling programs for old shingles, repurposing the material for roads and other products. Additionally, some shingles are made with energy-efficient technology that reflects more sunlight and helps reduce heat absorption.
5. How do I know which asphalt shingle is right for my home?
Choosing the right shingle depends on your home's design, location, and your performance preferences—like wind resistance or energy efficiency. Our team is here to help guide you through the options and recommend the best fit for your needs.

Joseph Poulin
“The people at Rivers construction were awesome. I called for an estimate, they came the next day and gave me a very reasonable quote. What surprised me was that they came the following day and not only started it but completed it on one day. The work quality was great and I would highly recommend them. I'd use them again if needed.”
5 Star Review
Melissa Zelazny
“I highly recommend Rivers Construction! They provided a quick fair roofing estimate and once approved, completed it the next day! I needed extra work done to replace rotted fascia and have gutters removed. The answer was yes we can where other roofing companies said no we can’t! Their clean up is the best. I found literally one nail after the job was done. Will definitely consider them for other projects!!”

OUR MISSION
At Rivers Construction, we started this company because we were tired of seeing Vermont homeowners overcharged and underserved by big-name roofing contractors. Too many people were paying outrageous prices for shingle roof replacements — often $650+ per square — and still ending up with poor service and rushed installs.
We knew there had to be a better way.
That’s why we’ve built a local company that delivers the same top-quality materials — Owens Corning and CertainTeed asphalt shingles — installed by certified professionals, but at a fair price: $450–$550 per square. We're proud to be Owens Corning Preferred Contractors, CertainTeed Certified, and hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
We’re not here to upsell or overpromise. We’re here to give Vermonters what they actually deserve:
Licensed, insured roofing crews
Clean and professional job sites
Fast estimates and next-week installs
Better shingle roof replacement at a lower cost
Because we live here too — and we care about doing right by our neighbors.
