Asphalt Shingle Roofing Installation in Kearns, Utah

Homeowners in Kearns 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 Kearns, the overlapping shingles shed water, and the mineral granules protect the asphalt surface from sunlight.

On Kearns 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 Kearns than shingle color does. Sun-facing slopes in Kearns can age faster because prolonged sunlight gradually wears the shingle surface and its protective granules.

You may need a new asphalt shingle roof in Kearns when wear or damage affects several parts of the roof. Before recommending replacement in Kearns, we inspect the shingles, flashing, wooden roof deck and previous repair areas.

An asphalt shingle installed on a roof in Kearns contains a fiberglass mat, asphalt coating, mineral granules and an adhesive seal strip. In the shingles used for Kearns projects, fiberglass provides strength, asphalt resists water, granules protect the surface and the seal strip helps neighboring shingles bond.

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

Asphalt shingle installation in Kearns includes waterproofing at vulnerable roof edges, an attic-ventilation check, wind-resistant shingle fastening, and flashing and seals around roof openings.

The Kearns installation also includes inspection of the wooden roof deck, new or rebuilt flashing, and valleys and roof-edge drainage.

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

These are some of the installation details we focus on for Kearns 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 1977, 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

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.
