Asphalt Shingle Roofing Installation in Uintah, Utah

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

Asphalt shingles on Uintah homes age by losing granules, becoming brittle, curling, or cracking. On Uintah 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 Uintah roof. Uintah sits at about 4,502 feet in elevation, so snow and winter temperature changes are part of the installation plan.

You may need a new asphalt shingle roof in Uintah when shingles are wearing out across several areas or the roof needs frequent repairs. We inspect the Uintah roof before recommending replacement. Many Uintah homes were built around 1994, but the house age does not tell us when the current roof was installed. For a home in Uintah, we judge the current roof by the condition and age of the roofing materials that are there now.

Asphalt shingles on Uintah 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 Uintah, we commonly install architectural shingles. For a roof in Uintah, we can also install three-tab shingles when you prefer a flatter, less dimensional shingle. We can compare GAF, CertainTeed and Owens Corning products for your Uintah roof, including the manufacturer specifications and warranty information for the exact shingle you choose.

On a roof replacement in Uintah, we plan for waterproofing at vulnerable roof edges, extra attention at exposed edges and ridges, an attic-ventilation check, and flashing and seals around roof openings.

The Uintah installation also includes wind-resistant shingle fastening, inspection of the wooden roof deck, and new or rebuilt flashing.

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

These are some of the installation details we focus on for Uintah 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Architectural shingles as standard: Architectural shingles are thicker and heavier than the flat three-tab type, last longer, and hold their wind rating better. They cost a little more and are worth it here.

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 Uintah moves from the structure under the shingles to the finished roof surface.

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