Customer Spotlight: A Vermont Roof Ready for Winter

Why Vermont Businesses Trust Rodd Roofing for Winter Protection

When it comes to Vermont and New Hampshire winters, preparation is everything—especially for commercial roofing. At Rodd Roofing, we’re proud to help local businesses stay protected through the harshest seasons. In this customer spotlight, we’re highlighting a recent project that shows how proactive roof repairs can make a major difference.


The Problem: Persistent Leaks & Winter Concerns


The client, a commercial warehouse in central Vermont, had been experiencing recurring leaks near the center drains and rooftop HVAC units. The issues were especially bad during spring thaws and freeze-thaw cycles, leading to interior water damage and insulation saturation. With another tough winter approaching, the building owner knew they couldn’t afford another season of emergency repairs.


Our Inspection & Assessment


Rodd Roofing’s team conducted a comprehensive fall inspection, including:

  • Thermal imaging to locate hidden moisture
  • Drain flow and debris inspection
  • Membrane seam integrity checks
  • Evaluation of flashing and rooftop penetrations


What we found: several small breaches in the single-ply membrane, deteriorated sealant around vents, clogged internal drains, and minor ponding in low-slope areas.


The Fix: Proactive Repairs for Winter Protection


Our crew implemented a targeted repair and prep plan in early October:

  • Re-sealed all rooftop penetrations using cold-weather roofing sealants
  • Re-welded membrane seams in critical areas
  • Cleaned and flushed internal drainage systems
  • Applied tapered insulation patches to eliminate ponding areas
  • Provided documentation for warranty and insurance records


The project was completed in two days without disrupting the client’s operations.


The Result: A Leak-Free, Winter-Ready Roof


Since the repairs, the building has already weathered two early storms with no leaks or drainage issues. The owner now has peace of mind knowing their commercial roof is fully winter-ready and under warranty-supported protection.


Here’s what the customer had to say:


“Rodd Roofing was efficient, professional, and thorough. They identified problems we didn’t know existed and gave us a roof that’s finally ready for a real Vermont winter.”


Trust Rodd Roofing for Real Solutions


This project is just one of many where Rodd Roofing helped a Vermont business avoid costly winter roofing emergencies. Whether it’s a flat roof, low-slope system, or retrofit application, our team is ready to inspect, repair, and protect your roof before the snow flies.
