Full Shingle Replacement

Williston, Vermont — Historic Farmhouse

Location Williston, VT
Type Historic Farmhouse
Shingles Charcoal Architectural
Underlayment ProArmor Synthetic
Scope Full Tear-Off & Replacement
Project Overview

Old home,
brand-new roof.

This white farmhouse in Williston is the kind of older Vermont home where the roof job takes some real attention. When we stripped the old shingles, we found the original wood-plank sheathing underneath — not plywood or OSB, but the wide boards that tell you this building has been around for generations.

Our crew inspected every board, secured anything that had loosened over the years, and then built the new system on top: ProArmor synthetic underlayment across the full deck, ice & water shield at all eaves and valleys, and dark charcoal architectural shingles that complement the white clapboard perfectly.

Start to finish in a day — tear-off in the morning, new roof on by late afternoon. The drone caught every stage, from bare boards to the finished product in golden-hour light.

  • ProArmor synthetic underlayment throughout
  • Dark charcoal architectural shingles

Shingles
Charcoal Architectural
Dark charcoal dimensional architectural shingles — a classic pairing with white clapboard. Improved wind resistance and a shadow-line profile that looks sharp from any angle.
Underlayment
ProArmor Synthetic
High-strength synthetic underlayment installed over the entire deck — far more tear-resistant than traditional felt and maintains its integrity even on the original wood-plank sheathing below.
Existing Deck
Original Wood Plank
Stripped down to the original wide-board sheathing — each board inspected, fasteners re-secured where needed. Old homes require this level of care before new materials go on.
Ice Protection
Full Ice & Water Shield
Applied at all eaves and valleys — essential on any Vermont home where ice dam risk is real. On an older home with existing air leaks, this protection layer matters even more.
Pace
Same-Day Completion
Tear-off started in the morning, finished roof by late afternoon. A large, coordinated crew keeps the home exposed for the minimum amount of time — critical in unpredictable Vermont weather.
Ventilation
New Ridge System
New continuous ridge ventilation to replace aging or inadequate ventilation — helps prevent moisture accumulation in the attic and extends shingle life on all planes.
