Asphalt Shingle Roofing Installation in Millcreek, Utah

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

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

You should consider a new asphalt shingle roof in Millcreek when the shingles are brittle, leaks keep returning, many shingles no longer seal, or several areas need repair. For a roof in Millcreek, the roof's condition matters more than its age alone.

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

For Millcreek homes, we install architectural shingles and can also install three-tab shingles when you prefer a flatter, less dimensional shingle. Before installation starts in Millcreek, we compare appearance, manufacturer wind ratings, warranty terms and price for the products you are considering.

Asphalt shingle installation in Millcreek includes flashing and seals around roof openings, waterproofing at vulnerable roof edges, new or rebuilt flashing, and inspection of the wooden roof deck.

The Millcreek installation also includes an attic-ventilation check, valleys and roof-edge drainage, and removal of the old roofing when needed.

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

These are some of the installation details we focus on for Millcreek 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 1973, 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
