Manchester’s winters bring heavy snowfall, frequent freeze–thaw cycles, and subzero temperatures that push any roof to its limits. The town averages over 80 inches of snow each year, which is far above the national average. Roofs here must carry significant weight from snowpack, and local building standards reflect that with snow load requirements around 50 pounds per square foot.
At Herman Exterior Homes, every roof we install is built with these realities in mind. We use ice and water shield barriers at eaves and valleys, ensure proper ridge and soffit ventilation, and recommend snow-shedding roof designs where appropriate. Steeper pitches, high-quality underlayments, and durable shingles or metal panels all combine to keep your home secure through Vermont’s toughest weather.
We start every project with a thorough roof inspection and honest recommendations.
Although our company is based in New York, our crews frequently serve Manchester and surrounding communities in Southern Vermont. From Main Street properties to quiet country homes, we bring small-town customer service backed by professional-grade expertise.

We understand Manchester’s unique weather and architecture. Asphalt shingles are the most popular choice here, but many homeowners are moving toward metal roofing for its ability to shed snow. For historic properties, we offer natural slate and cedar shakes, or modern synthetic alternatives that replicate the look without the upkeep. Whether it’s a farmhouse, colonial, or a mountain home with views of Equinox, we help match materials to style and climate.

We primarily install premium architectural asphalt shingles from trusted manufacturers like Owens Corning and CertainTeed, known for strength in harsh climates. We also specialize in standing seam metal roofing, a favorite for those who want maximum longevity and snow-shedding performance. Every roof is built with high-grade materials proven to hold up under Vermont’s weather extremes.
Ice dams are a constant concern in Vermont. To protect your home, we install waterproof underlayment at eaves and valleys, ensure proper attic ventilation, and confirm insulation is sufficient to keep the roof deck cold. For metal roofs or steep slopes, we may add snow guards or recommend heated cables to control buildup. With the right combination of underlayment, ventilation, and materials, your roof can withstand even the toughest Manchester winters.
Costs vary depending on material and home size, but asphalt shingles remain the most budget-friendly choice. Metal, slate, and cedar fall into premium ranges but provide longer lifespans and greater protection. Synthetic materials often strike a balance between cost and durability. Our estimates are detailed, transparent, and include all labor, materials, and cleanup. Financing is available to help spread out the investment.
