Asphalt Shingle Roofing Installation in Cottonwood Heights, Utah

Homeowners in Cottonwood Heights often choose asphalt shingles because they shed water, come in many colors and profiles, and work on both older and newer homes. On Cottonwood Heights homes, the shingles form the outer roof surface, while the underlayment and flashing provide additional protection against water.

Asphalt shingles on Cottonwood Heights homes can wear out before they start leaking. On Cottonwood Heights roofs, we check whether the shingles lie flat, stay sealed to the row below, remain flexible, and still have enough surface granules to protect the asphalt. On a roof in Cottonwood Heights, we use the shingle condition to decide whether the shingles still protect the home or need replacement. Sun-facing slopes in Cottonwood Heights can age faster because prolonged sunlight gradually wears the shingle surface and its protective granules.

You may need a new asphalt shingle roof in Cottonwood Heights when shingles are wearing out across several areas or the roof needs frequent repairs. We inspect the Cottonwood Heights roof before recommending replacement. Many Cottonwood Heights homes were built around 1978, but the house age does not tell us when the current roof was installed. For a home in Cottonwood Heights, we judge the current roof by the condition and age of the roofing materials that are there now.

Asphalt shingles on Cottonwood Heights homes use a fiberglass mat for strength, an asphalt layer for water resistance, mineral granules for surface protection and an adhesive strip that helps each row seal to the next.

In Cottonwood Heights, we commonly install architectural shingles. For a roof in Cottonwood Heights, we can also install three-tab shingles when you prefer a flatter, less dimensional shingle. We can compare GAF, CertainTeed and Owens Corning products for your Cottonwood Heights roof, including the manufacturer specifications and warranty information for the exact shingle you choose.

On a roof replacement in Cottonwood Heights, we plan for valleys and roof-edge drainage, an attic-ventilation check, new or rebuilt flashing, and inspection of the wooden roof deck.

The Cottonwood Heights installation also includes waterproofing at vulnerable roof edges, extra attention at exposed edges and ridges, and flashing and seals around roof openings.

After we remove the old roofing in Cottonwood Heights, we photograph any damaged roof decking. Before replacing damaged wood on a roof in Cottonwood Heights, we explain the added cost.

These are some of the installation details we focus on for Cottonwood Heights homes:

• Wind rating matched to the house: Shingles are rated for a wind speed, and the right rating depends on how exposed your house is rather than on the city it sits in. We set it from your own site.
• Ice-and-water membrane at the eaves: A waterproof membrane runs along the bottom edge of the roof, where snow melts and refreezes and pushes water back up under the shingles.
• Full tear-off to bare wood: Every layer comes off, including any second roof laid over the first. Tear-off is the only moment anyone gets to see the wood your roof is fastened to.
• Architectural shingles as standard: Architectural shingles are thicker and heavier than the flat three-tab type, last longer, and hold their wind rating better. They cost a little more and are worth it here.
• Warranty registered in your name: You get the manufacturer's materials warranty registered to you on completion, alongside our own 5-year workmanship warranty, and we hand you the paperwork rather than filing it with us.
• Specified for snow load: At 4,820 feet the weight sits on the roof for months. We check the structure as well as the shingles, because sustained load works at fasteners and flashing in a way rain never does.

The shingle is the part you choose and the part you can see. Everything underneath it is what decides whether the roof reaches the life it is rated for, which is why we specify all of it in writing before we start.
