Asphalt Shingle Roofing Installation in Park City, Utah

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

Asphalt shingles on Park City homes usually show wear gradually rather than failing all at once. On Park City 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 Park City more vulnerable to wind and water. Many Park City homes were built around 1989, 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. Wind exposure also matters in Park City because shingles that lose their adhesive bond are easier for gusts to lift.

You do not need to wait for an active leak before replacing an asphalt shingle roof in Park City. Roof replacement in Park City may make sense when the shingles are brittle or no longer sealing well. For a roof in Park City, damaged flashing, damaged roof decking, or frequent repairs can also point to replacement.

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

On a roof replacement in Park City, we plan for new or rebuilt flashing, extra attention at exposed edges and ridges, flashing and seals around roof openings, and valleys and roof-edge drainage.

The Park City installation also includes wind-resistant shingle fastening, an attic-ventilation check, and inspection of the wooden roof deck.

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

These are some of the installation details we focus on for Park City 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.
• 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.
• Specified for snow load: At 6,936 feet the weight sits on the roof for months. We check the structure as well as the shingles, because sustained load works at fasteners and flashing in a way rain never does.
• 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.

Roof replacement in Park City moves from the structure under the shingles to the finished roof surface.

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