My name is Jason Leonard and I live in Lincoln VT.  I Started roofing in 1998, then went on to start my own company in 2005 after graduating from Norwich University. Initially I tackled every aspect of roofing, but eventually moved to doing strictly metal applications. The reasoning was shingles have proven to be a very unreliable material to put on a roof in VT.  Not only are shingles unlikely to last 20 years nowadays, but you never know if they will be damaged by a freak wind storm.  I can guarantee with metal roofing, you'll never find yourself in need of a roof repair and you can be confident the roof you paid for will last 30 plus years.
