Roof Replacement in Midvale, Utah

The age of the house does not tell you the age of the current roof in Midvale. Many homes were built around 1987, 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.

We decide whether a Midvale roof needs replacement by inspecting the current condition of the shingles and the wood underneath them. The age of a home built around 1987 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.

A complete roof replacement in Midvale 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 Midvale:

• 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 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.
• Intake and ridge venting: We check the attic's intake vents and ridge vents before installing the new shingles. Proper airflow brings outside air into the attic and lets warm, moist air escape.
• 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.
• 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.
• Synthetic underlayment: We install synthetic underlayment across the wooden roof surface. Underlayment is a protective layer between the wood and the shingles. Synthetic material resists tearing and moisture better than traditional felt during installation.

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 Midvale 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. 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.
2. Protect the property before work beginsWe cover landscaping, driveways, and other areas below the roof before removing shingles. Protecting these areas first reduces damage and cleanup.
3. 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.
4. Complete the cleanup and warranty paperworkWe clean the site, sweep for roofing nails, and register the manufacturer's materials warranty. We also provide information about our 5-year workmanship warranty.
