Residential Roof Replacement

Underhill, Vermont — Owens Corning Duration Shingles

Location Underhill, VT
Type Residential — Full Replacement
Shingles Owens Corning Duration
Underlayment ProArmor Synthetic
County Chittenden County, VT
Project Overview

Full crew. One day.
Done right.

Rivers Construction completed a full residential roof replacement on a multi-plane home in Underhill, Vermont. The aerial photo captures the crew mid-project — the large main roof section nearly complete while another team works the lower addition plane, everyone moving efficiently to get the home weather-tight before the day ends.

We installed Owens Corning Duration shingles over a full layer of ProArmor synthetic underlayment, with ice & water shield at all eaves, valleys, and penetrations. The close-up crew photo shows exactly how we run a job: multiple people working each plane simultaneously, shingle bundles staged efficiently, and the ProArmor underlayment clearly visible ahead of where the shingles are going down — a clean, sequenced installation that keeps the process fast without cutting corners on the system underneath.

Underhill sits in the foothills of the Green Mountains — the kind of location where a roof takes a real beating from winter wind loading, heavy snow, and ice damming at the eaves. Duration shingles are built for exactly this environment: the SureNail Technology fastening strip locks each shingle in place against wind uplift, and the impact-resistant granule surface holds up to freeze-thaw cycling better than standard entry-level architectural shingles.

Materials & Methods

Why we spec
Duration on every job.

Owens Corning Duration Shingles

Owens Corning Duration is our go-to shingle on residential replacements across Vermont. The patented SureNail Technology fastening strip — the woven fabric band that runs through the nail zone — gives every shingle a defined target that locks down tightly and resists wind uplift better than standard nailing zones on competing products. Duration shingles are rated for 130 mph wind resistance with proper fastening, which matters in Underhill where exposure from the Green Mountain foothills creates real wind loading on a typical residential roof.

ProArmor Synthetic Underlayment

ProArmor is a woven polypropylene synthetic underlayment that replaces traditional felt paper. It's lighter, stronger, and fully waterproof — felt paper absorbs moisture and can wrinkle and tear during installation in cool, damp spring weather. ProArmor also has a textured surface that gives our crew solid footing on the deck, which matters when multiple people are moving across multiple planes at once. It's visible in the crew shot: the pink-printed underlayment laid cleanly ahead of where the shingles are going down.

Full-Crew Efficiency

The aerial on this job shows how we staff a residential replacement: multiple people working each plane at once, with the large main section nearly wrapped while another team is already on the lower addition. This is about more than speed — it's about keeping the roof deck dry. Any section of exposed deck between tear-off and shingle installation is a liability. Moving with a full crew means less time between old shingles coming off and new ones going down, which matters on an unpredictable Vermont spring day more than it does in July. The homeowner gets a completed roof, not a half-finished job waiting on tomorrow's weather.

Underhill & Chittenden County

Underhill is a rural Chittenden County town at the base of Mount Mansfield — the highest peak in Vermont. That geography means more wind, more snow, and more ice damming than most of the county sees. We've worked on roofs throughout Underhill and the surrounding foothills communities. If you're a homeowner in Underhill, Jericho, Westford, or anywhere in northern Chittenden County with a roof that's due for replacement, call us for a free estimate. We know what these roofs face in winter and we spec the system accordingly.
