Why Do Homeowners in Lindon Choose Asphalt Shingles?
Homeowners in Lindon often choose asphalt shingles because they balance cost, appearance, weather protection, and repairability. On Lindon homes, the shingles overlap to shed rain and melting snow. On a roof in Lindon, if damage is limited, we can often replace individual shingles or a small section instead of replacing the entire roof.

How Do Asphalt Shingles Age on Lindon Homes?
On Lindon 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 Lindon than shingle color does. Wind exposure also matters in Lindon because shingles that lose their adhesive bond are easier for gusts to lift.
When Should You Install a New Asphalt Shingle Roof in Lindon?

What Is an Asphalt Shingle Made Of?
A typical asphalt shingle used in Lindon has a fiberglass mat, asphalt coating, mineral granules and a seal strip. The fiberglass, asphalt, granules and seal strip give shingles installed in Lindon strength, water resistance, surface protection and a secure bond to the row below.

What Does Asphalt Shingle Roofing Installation in Lindon Include?
The asphalt-shingle installation scope in Lindon includes inspection of the wooden roof deck, skylight flashing, extra attention at exposed edges and ridges, and flashing and seals around roof openings.
The Lindon installation also includes wind-resistant shingle fastening, valleys and roof-edge drainage, and new or rebuilt flashing.
After we remove the old roofing in Lindon, we photograph any damaged roof decking. Before replacing damaged wood on a roof in Lindon, we explain the added cost.
These are some of the installation details we focus on for Lindon 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
