Why Do Homeowners in Mapleton Choose Asphalt Shingles?
Homeowners in Mapleton 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 Mapleton, the overlapping shingles shed water, and the mineral granules protect the asphalt surface from sunlight.

How Do Asphalt Shingles Age on Mapleton Homes?
Asphalt shingles on Mapleton homes age by losing granules, becoming brittle, curling, or cracking. On Mapleton roofs, a few loose granules are normal, especially on a newer roof. Large bare areas or brittle shingles are stronger signs of wear on a roof in Mapleton. Wind exposure also matters in Mapleton because shingles that lose their adhesive bond are easier for gusts to lift.
When Should You Install a New Asphalt Shingle Roof in Mapleton?
You may need a new asphalt shingle roof in Mapleton when shingles are wearing out across several areas or the roof needs frequent repairs. We inspect the Mapleton roof before recommending replacement.
What Is an Asphalt Shingle Made Of?
The asphalt shingles we install in Mapleton are built from a fiberglass base, an asphalt coating, mineral surface granules and a factory-applied seal strip. Each layer in the shingles we install in Mapleton has a different job in keeping the material strong and weather-resistant.
What Asphalt Shingle Options Do You Install in Mapleton?
Homeowners in Mapleton can choose between architectural and three-tab asphalt shingles based on budget, appearance and the needs of the roof. Before installation starts in Mapleton, we compare appearance, manufacturer wind ratings, warranty terms and price for the products you are considering.
What Does Asphalt Shingle Roofing Installation in Mapleton Include?
For a roof in Mapleton, the installation scope includes new or rebuilt flashing, skylight flashing, an attic-ventilation check, and extra attention at exposed edges and ridges.
The Mapleton installation also includes flashing and seals around roof openings, wind-resistant shingle fastening, and inspection of the wooden roof deck.
After we remove the old roofing in Mapleton, we photograph any damaged roof decking. Before replacing damaged wood on a roof in Mapleton, we explain the added cost.
These are some of the installation details we focus on for Mapleton 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.
- 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.
- Ventilation corrected while the deck is open: A shingle cooked from underneath by a hot attic will not reach its rated life. Correcting the airflow is cheapest while the roof is off and is the single best way to add years to it.
- Decking repaired before anything goes on: On a house built around 2005, 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.
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.
