Asphalt Shingle Roofing Installation in Liberty, Utah

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

Asphalt shingles on Liberty homes usually show wear gradually rather than failing all at once. On Liberty 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 Liberty more vulnerable to wind and water. Many Liberty homes were built around 1994, 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. Sun-facing slopes in Liberty can age faster because prolonged sunlight gradually wears the shingle surface and its protective granules.

You should consider a new asphalt shingle roof in Liberty when the shingles are brittle, leaks keep returning, many shingles no longer seal, or several areas need repair. For a roof in Liberty, the roof's condition matters more than its age alone. Many Liberty homes were built around 1994, but the house age does not tell us when the current roof was installed. For a home in Liberty, we judge the current roof by the condition and age of the roofing materials that are there now.

Asphalt shingles on Liberty 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 Liberty, we commonly install architectural shingles. For a roof in Liberty, 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 Liberty roof, including the manufacturer specifications and warranty information for the exact shingle you choose.

On a roof replacement in Liberty, we plan for waterproofing at vulnerable roof edges, new or rebuilt flashing, valleys and roof-edge drainage, and inspection of the wooden roof deck.

The Liberty installation also includes wind-resistant shingle fastening, an attic-ventilation check, and flashing and seals around roof openings.

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

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

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

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 Liberty moves from the structure under the shingles to the finished roof surface.

On a Liberty project, we expose the wooden roof deck first. If we find damaged wood on a roof in Liberty, we show you the damage and explain the cost before replacing it. On the Liberty 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 Liberty roof.
