Asphalt Shingle Roofing Installation in Tooele, Utah

Homeowners in Tooele often choose asphalt shingles because they are widely available, work on many residential roof shapes, and offer several price and style options. On Tooele homes, the shingles shed rain and snow, while the underlayment and flashing help keep water out at roof joints and openings.

On Tooele 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 Tooele than shingle color does. Winter weather can also affect a roof in Tooele because melting snow can refreeze near roof edges and valleys.

You may need a new asphalt shingle roof in Tooele when shingles are brittle or failing across several roof slopes. If damage on a roof in Tooele is limited to one area and the surrounding shingles are still flexible, a repair may be enough.

For roofs in Tooele, an asphalt shingle combines four main components: fiberglass for structure, asphalt for water resistance, mineral granules for surface protection and color, and an adhesive strip that helps the rows seal.

Our asphalt-shingle options in Tooele include thicker architectural shingles and traditional three-tab products. Before installation starts in Tooele, we compare appearance, manufacturer wind ratings, warranty terms and price for the products you are considering.

A complete asphalt-shingle project in Tooele covers valleys and roof-edge drainage, flashing and seals around roof openings, wind-resistant shingle fastening, and extra attention at exposed edges and ridges.

The Tooele installation also includes an attic-ventilation check, inspection of the wooden roof deck, and new or rebuilt flashing.

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

These are some of the installation details we focus on for Tooele 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 1994, 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.
• 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.
• 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.
