Asphalt Shingle Roofing Installation in West Valley City, Utah

Homeowners in West Valley City often choose asphalt shingles because they balance cost, appearance, weather protection, and repairability. On West Valley City homes, the shingles overlap to shed rain and melting snow. On a roof in West Valley City, if damage is limited, we can often replace individual shingles or a small section instead of replacing the entire roof.

On West Valley City 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 West Valley City than shingle color does. Wind exposure also matters in West Valley City because shingles that lose their adhesive bond are easier for gusts to lift.

You should consider a new asphalt shingle roof in West Valley City when the shingles are brittle, leaks keep returning, many shingles no longer seal, or several areas need repair. For a roof in West Valley City, the roof's condition matters more than its age alone.

An asphalt shingle installed on a roof in West Valley City contains a fiberglass mat, asphalt coating, mineral granules and an adhesive seal strip. In the shingles used for West Valley City projects, fiberglass provides strength, asphalt resists water, granules protect the surface and the seal strip helps neighboring shingles bond.

For West Valley City homes, we install architectural shingles and can also install three-tab shingles when you prefer a flatter, less dimensional shingle. Before installation starts in West Valley City, we compare appearance, manufacturer wind ratings, warranty terms and price for the products you are considering.

Asphalt shingle installation in West Valley City includes wind-resistant shingle fastening, extra attention at exposed edges and ridges, new or rebuilt flashing, and flashing and seals around roof openings.

The West Valley City installation also includes valleys and roof-edge drainage, waterproofing at vulnerable roof edges, and an attic-ventilation check.

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

These are some of the installation details we focus on for West Valley City 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 1985, 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.
• 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.
• 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.
