Asphalt Shingle Roofing Installation in Pleasant Grove, Utah

Homeowners in Pleasant Grove often choose asphalt shingles because the system combines a weather-resistant shingle surface with protective layers underneath. On Pleasant Grove homes, the shingles shed water, the mineral granules protect the asphalt from sunlight, and the underlayment and flashing add protection at joints and openings.

On Pleasant Grove 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 Pleasant Grove than shingle color does. Sun-facing slopes in Pleasant Grove can age faster because prolonged sunlight gradually wears the shingle surface and its protective granules.

You do not need to wait for an active leak before replacing an asphalt shingle roof in Pleasant Grove. Roof replacement in Pleasant Grove may make sense when the shingles are brittle or no longer sealing well. For a roof in Pleasant Grove, damaged flashing, damaged roof decking, or frequent repairs can also point to replacement. Many Pleasant Grove homes were built around 1999, but the house age does not tell us when the current roof was installed. For a home in Pleasant Grove, we judge the current roof by the condition and age of the roofing materials that are there now.

The asphalt shingles we install in Pleasant Grove 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 Pleasant Grove has a different job in keeping the material strong and weather-resistant.

Homeowners in Pleasant Grove can choose between architectural and three-tab asphalt shingles based on budget, appearance and the needs of the roof. Before installation starts in Pleasant Grove, we compare appearance, manufacturer wind ratings, warranty terms and price for the products you are considering.

For a roof in Pleasant Grove, the installation scope includes wind-resistant shingle fastening, an attic-ventilation check, valleys and roof-edge drainage, and flashing and seals around roof openings.

The Pleasant Grove installation also includes inspection of the wooden roof deck, waterproofing at vulnerable roof edges, and skylight flashing.

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

These are some of the installation details we focus on for Pleasant Grove 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 1999, 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.
• 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.
• 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.
