Vermont Roofers

Hiring a Roofer in Vermont

Buildermuse currently lists 10 roofers in Vermont, averaging 4.9 stars across 938 verified Google reviews. That is an unusually strong field — when nearly every firm clears 4.8 stars, response time and availability become the real differentiators, so call two or three rather than only the top result. Most of the crews above operate out of Shelburne, Barre, and Burlington.

Vermont does not require a state-level general contractor license. Towns and municipalities handle building permits. Electrical and plumbing require state licensing. With no statewide license for this work, checking city and county requirements — plus active insurance — falls on you as the hiring party.

Labor is the biggest line item on most bids, and the Vermont market sets the floor: construction workers here average $32.95 an hour — about $68,536 a year — across 16,879 workers statewide, per Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Use that figure as a sanity check when comparing quotes — a bid priced far below market labor rates usually means subcontracted or uninsured crews.
