How Do Asphalt Shingles Age on West Bountiful Homes?
Asphalt shingles on West Bountiful homes usually show wear gradually rather than failing all at once. On West Bountiful 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 West Bountiful more vulnerable to wind and water. Many West Bountiful homes were built around 1981, 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 West Bountiful because shingles that lose their adhesive bond are easier for gusts to lift.
When Should You Install a New Asphalt Shingle Roof in West Bountiful?
You should consider a new asphalt shingle roof in West Bountiful when the shingles are brittle, leaks keep returning, many shingles no longer seal, or several areas need repair. For a roof in West Bountiful, the roof's condition matters more than its age alone. Many West Bountiful homes were built around 1981, but the house age does not tell us when the current roof was installed. For a home in West Bountiful, we judge the current roof by the condition and age of the roofing materials that are there now.
What Is an Asphalt Shingle Made Of?

What Does Asphalt Shingle Roofing Installation in West Bountiful Include?
For a roof in West Bountiful, the installation scope includes inspection of the wooden roof deck, new or rebuilt flashing, waterproofing at vulnerable roof edges, and wind-resistant shingle fastening.
The West Bountiful installation also includes an attic-ventilation check, valleys and roof-edge drainage, and flashing and seals around roof openings.
After we remove the old roofing in West Bountiful, we photograph any damaged roof decking. Before replacing damaged wood on a roof in West Bountiful, we explain the added cost.
These are some of the installation details we focus on for West Bountiful 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 1981, 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.
- 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.
- Warranty registered in your name: You get the manufacturer's materials warranty registered to you on completion, alongside our own 5-year workmanship warranty, and we hand you the paperwork rather than filing it with us.
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.
