Asphalt Shingle Roofing Installation in Midvale, Utah

Homeowners in Midvale often choose asphalt shingles because they shed water, come in many colors and profiles, and work on both older and newer homes. On Midvale homes, the shingles form the outer roof surface, while the underlayment and flashing provide additional protection against water.

Asphalt shingles on Midvale homes age by losing granules, becoming brittle, curling, or cracking. On Midvale 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 Midvale. Winter weather can also affect a roof in Midvale because melting snow can refreeze near roof edges and valleys.

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

Asphalt shingles on Midvale 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 Midvale, we commonly install architectural shingles. For a roof in Midvale, we can also install three-tab shingles when you prefer a flatter, less dimensional shingle. Some product lines also offer impact-resistant shingles for Midvale homeowners who want additional hail resistance. We can compare GAF, CertainTeed and Owens Corning products for your Midvale roof, including the manufacturer specifications and warranty information for the exact shingle you choose.

On a roof replacement in Midvale, we plan for waterproofing at vulnerable roof edges, wind-resistant shingle fastening, inspection of the wooden roof deck, and new or rebuilt flashing.

The Midvale installation also includes extra attention at exposed edges and ridges, valleys and roof-edge drainage, and an attic-ventilation check.

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

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

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 Midvale moves from the structure under the shingles to the finished roof surface.

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