Asphalt Shingle Roofing Installation in Genola, Utah

Homeowners in Genola often choose asphalt shingles because they work on many residential roof slopes and damaged sections can often be repaired without replacing the entire roof. For homes in Genola, the overlapping shingles shed water, and the mineral granules protect the asphalt surface from sunlight.

On Genola roofs, as asphalt shingles age, they can lose granules, become brittle, and stop sealing tightly to the row below. Granule loss, brittle edges and failed adhesive strips tell us more about a roof in Genola than shingle color does. Sun-facing slopes in Genola can age faster because prolonged sunlight gradually wears the shingle surface and its protective granules.

You do not need to wait for an active leak before replacing an asphalt shingle roof in Genola. Roof replacement in Genola may make sense when the shingles are brittle or no longer sealing well. For a roof in Genola, damaged flashing, damaged roof decking, or frequent repairs can also point to replacement. Many Genola homes were built around 1997, but the house age does not tell us when the current roof was installed. For a home in Genola, we judge the current roof by the condition and age of the roofing materials that are there now.

Asphalt shingles on Genola 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 Genola, we commonly install architectural shingles. For a roof in Genola, we can also install three-tab shingles when you prefer a flatter, less dimensional shingle. Some product lines also offer impact-resistant shingles for Genola homeowners who want additional hail resistance. Before installation starts in Genola, we compare appearance, manufacturer wind ratings, warranty terms and price for the products you are considering.

On a roof replacement in Genola, we plan for waterproofing at vulnerable roof edges, new or rebuilt flashing, flashing and seals around roof openings, and skylight flashing.

The Genola installation also includes inspection of the wooden roof deck, wind-resistant shingle fastening, and extra attention at exposed edges and ridges.

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

These are some of the installation details we focus on for Genola 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.
• 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.
• Decking repaired before anything goes on: On a house built around 1997, finding a few soft boards is normal rather than a surprise. We photograph them, price them with you, and replace them so the new roof has something solid to fasten to.
• All-new metal flashing: We replace the metal at chimneys, walls and vents rather than resealed. Sealant over old flashing buys a season and hides the problem in the meantime.
• 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.
• 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.

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.

Roof replacement in Genola moves from the structure under the shingles to the finished roof surface.

On a Genola project, we expose the wooden roof deck first. If we find damaged wood on a roof in Genola, we show you the damage and explain the cost before replacing it. On the Genola project, we then install underlayment and flashing before the shingles.

We finish the installation by completing ridges and openings, clearing roofing debris and inspecting the completed Genola roof.
