Asphalt Shingle Roofing Installation in Emigration Canyon, Utah

Homeowners in Emigration Canyon often choose asphalt shingles because they are widely available, work on many residential roof shapes, and offer several price and style options. On Emigration Canyon homes, the shingles shed rain and snow, while the underlayment and flashing help keep water out at roof joints and openings.

Asphalt shingles on Emigration Canyon homes usually show wear gradually rather than failing all at once. On Emigration Canyon roofs, we look for loss of the protective mineral granules, curled or lifted corners, cracking, brittle edges, and shingles that no longer seal tightly to the row below. Granule loss, curled shingles, cracks, brittle edges and failed seals make a roof in Emigration Canyon more vulnerable to wind and water. Many Emigration Canyon homes were built around 1991, but the roof may have been replaced since then, so we judge the current shingles by their condition rather than the age of the house. Winter weather can also affect a roof in Emigration Canyon because melting snow can refreeze near roof edges and valleys.

You may need a new asphalt shingle roof in Emigration Canyon when wear or damage affects several parts of the roof. Before recommending replacement in Emigration Canyon, we inspect the shingles, flashing, wooden roof deck and previous repair areas. Many Emigration Canyon homes were built around 1991, but the house age does not tell us when the current roof was installed. For a home in Emigration Canyon, we judge the current roof by the condition and age of the roofing materials that are there now.

Asphalt shingles on Emigration Canyon 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 Emigration Canyon, we commonly install architectural shingles. For a roof in Emigration Canyon, we can also install three-tab shingles when you prefer a flatter, less dimensional shingle. Before installation starts in Emigration Canyon, we compare appearance, manufacturer wind ratings, warranty terms and price for the products you are considering.

On a roof replacement in Emigration Canyon, we plan for flashing and seals around roof openings, an attic-ventilation check, valleys and roof-edge drainage, and new or rebuilt flashing.

The Emigration Canyon installation also includes waterproofing at vulnerable roof edges, inspection of the wooden roof deck, and wind-resistant shingle fastening.

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

These are some of the installation details we focus on for Emigration Canyon 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.
• 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.
• Underlayment across the whole deck: Underlayment is a water-resistant layer between the wood and the shingles. It catches whatever gets past a shingle that has lifted or broken.
• 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.

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.
