Why Do Homeowners in Spanish Fork Choose Asphalt Shingles?
Homeowners in Spanish Fork often choose asphalt shingles because they can compare several price, appearance, and performance options within the same type of roofing system. In Spanish Fork, three-tab, architectural, and some impact-resistant shingle products provide different choices for the new roof.

How Do Asphalt Shingles Age on Spanish Fork Homes?
Asphalt shingles on Spanish Fork homes usually show wear gradually rather than failing all at once. On Spanish Fork 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 Spanish Fork more vulnerable to wind and water. Many Spanish Fork homes were built around 2001, 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. Winter weather can also affect a roof in Spanish Fork because melting snow can refreeze near roof edges and valleys.
When Should You Install a New Asphalt Shingle Roof in Spanish Fork?
You do not need to wait for an active leak before replacing an asphalt shingle roof in Spanish Fork. Roof replacement in Spanish Fork may make sense when the shingles are brittle or no longer sealing well. For a roof in Spanish Fork, damaged flashing, damaged roof decking, or frequent repairs can also point to replacement.
What Is an Asphalt Shingle Made Of?
The asphalt shingles we install in Spanish Fork 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 Spanish Fork has a different job in keeping the material strong and weather-resistant.

What Does Asphalt Shingle Roofing Installation in Spanish Fork Include?
For a roof in Spanish Fork, the installation scope includes inspection of the wooden roof deck, new or rebuilt flashing, an attic-ventilation check, and extra attention at exposed edges and ridges.
The Spanish Fork installation also includes valleys and roof-edge drainage, wind-resistant shingle fastening, and skylight flashing.
After we remove the old roofing in Spanish Fork, we photograph any damaged roof decking. Before replacing damaged wood on a roof in Spanish Fork, we explain the added cost.
These are some of the installation details we focus on for Spanish Fork 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 2001, 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.
- Underlayment across the whole deck: Underlayment is a water-resistant layer between the wood and the shingles. It catches whatever gets past a shingle that has lifted or broken.
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.
