Roof Replacement in Lehi, Utah

Roofs in Lehi usually need replacement because asphalt shingles wear out over time. Many homes in Lehi were built around 2007, so some homes may still have an older roof from that period. As shingles age, the small protective granules on the surface can wear away. The shingles can also become brittle, and the adhesive that holds them down can weaken. These changes can happen before water starts leaking into the house. They are signs that the roof may be nearing the end of its useful life and should be inspected.

An older roof in Lehi deserves a close inspection, but age by itself does not automatically require replacement. Many homes in Lehi were built around 2007, so an original roof on one of those homes would now be well into its service life. We look for worn protective granules, shingles that curl or no longer lie flat, and adhesive strips that no longer hold the shingles securely. These problems can develop before the roof leaks. When they are widespread, replacement may be the safer long-term option.

A complete roof replacement in Lehi 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 Lehi:

• Wind protection: We choose shingles with a wind rating that matches the property's exposure. Homes on open or exposed lots may need stronger wind resistance than sheltered homes.
• Fresh metal at the edges: We install new metal along the lower and sloping roof edges. This metal directs water away from the exposed wood and helps protect the edges from water damage.
• 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.
• No resealed metal: We replace worn flashing instead of simply adding more sealant to the old metal. Sealant can provide a temporary repair, while new flashing provides a more reliable long-term barrier against water.
• 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.
• 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.

A roof replacement in Lehi 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.

1. Determine whether replacement is necessaryWe inspect the roof before recommending replacement. If the roof still has useful life left, we explain what we found and do not recommend replacing it.
2. 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.
3. Choose materials for the propertyWe consider the home's wind exposure, snow conditions, and other local factors when selecting the roofing specifications. An exposed property may need different materials or fastening than a sheltered property.
4. 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.
