Why Do Holladay Roofs Need Replacing?
The age of the house does not tell you the age of the current roof in Holladay. Many homes were built around 1969, but those homes may already be on their second or third roof. The current shingles could have been installed recently or many years ago. We inspect the shingles to see whether they are still flexible and securely attached. If the shingles have become brittle, repairs may not last and replacement may make more sense.

When Does a Holladay Roof Need Replacing?
We decide whether a Holladay roof needs replacement by inspecting the current condition of the shingles and the wood underneath them. The age of a home built around 1969 does not tell us when its current roof was installed. We look for cracked or curled shingles, areas where the protective surface granules have worn away, and soft or damaged wood under the roofing. When several of these problems are widespread, replacement may be more reliable than another repair.
What Does a Roof Replacement in Holladay Include?
A complete roof replacement in Holladay starts by removing the existing roofing down to the wooden surface that supports the shingles. We inspect that wood and replace any areas that are soft, rotted, or otherwise damaged. Next, we install underlayment, which is a water-resistant layer between the wood and the shingles. We add a waterproof ice-and-water membrane along vulnerable areas such as the lower roof edges and valleys. We also install new metal flashing around chimneys, walls, and vents to help keep water out at those joints. After checking the ventilation, we install the new shingles. We inspect each layer before covering it with the next one.
Every roof is different. These are some of the roofing details that are especially important for homes in Holladay:
- Deck repairs, priced with you: After we remove the old roofing, we photograph any soft or damaged wood underneath. We show you the damage and provide the repair price before replacing the wood.
- Rebuilt valleys: We rebuild roof valleys with new materials. Valleys collect water from two roof slopes, so they need a reliable waterproof path that directs that water off the roof.
- No roofing over the top: We do not install a new roof over existing shingles. Removing the old roofing exposes the wood underneath, allows hidden damage to be repaired, and gives the new roof a clean surface for installation.
- Modern underlayment throughout: We install synthetic underlayment across the entire wooden roof surface before the shingles go on. This layer provides additional water protection and can better tolerate temporary weather exposure during installation than traditional felt.
- All-new flashing: We install new metal flashing around chimneys, walls, and vents. These joints are common places for leaks, so reusing old flashing can create a weak point in an otherwise new roof.
- Sun-resistant shingles: We recommend shingles designed to resist damage from ultraviolet sunlight. Strong sun can dry asphalt shingles and make them brittle over time.
After the work is complete, we register the manufacturer's materials warranty in your name. Courtland Roofing also provides a 5-year workmanship warranty for the installation.

How Does a Roof Replacement in Holladay Work?
A roof replacement in Holladay follows a clear sequence. We inspect the roof and provide the written scope before work begins. During the job, we protect the property, remove the old roofing, inspect the wood underneath, and install the new roofing system. Weather can affect the schedule because asphalt shingles need suitable temperature and dry conditions to seal correctly. After installation, we clean the property, review the work, and complete the warranty paperwork.
- Inspect the roof before providing a quoteWe get on the roof, photograph its condition, and measure the work before giving you a written price. If the roof does not need replacement, we tell you that.
- Remove the old roofing and inspect the wood underneath: We remove the existing roofing so we can see the wooden surface below. We photograph damaged areas and discuss the repair price with you before replacing damaged wood.
- Install all-new components We never reuse old materials to save a few dollars. A new roof failing at an old joint is the most common way a replacement goes wrong, so everything we install is new.
- Clean the property and register the warrantiesWe clear the gutters, sweep the property for roofing nails, and register the manufacturer's materials warranty. Courtland Roofing's 5-year workmanship warranty begins when the job is complete.

Common Questions About Roof Replacement in Holladay
How much does it cost to replace a roof in Holladay?
The cost of replacing a roof in Holladay depends on the roof's size, how steep it is, and the roofing material you choose. The price can also change if the home has multiple layers of old roofing or if we find damaged wood underneath the shingles. We inspect the roof before giving you a written price so the estimate is based on the actual roof rather than a guess. The inspection and written quote are free.
What shingle should I put on a Holladay roof?
The best shingle for a Holladay home depends on the property's conditions. Homes that receive stronger wind may need shingles with a higher wind rating, which tells you how much wind the shingles are designed to withstand. Impact-resistant shingles may be useful where hail is a concern. For some high-elevation or snowy properties, metal roofing may also be worth considering.
What happens if you find rotten decking?
We photograph any rotten or soft wood we find after removing the old roofing. We show you the damaged areas and provide the repair price before replacing the wood. The new roofing should not be installed over damaged wood because the shingles need a solid surface underneath them.
