Roof Replacement in Park City, Utah

Two factors commonly affect roofs in Park City: age and exposure to weather. Many homes built around 1989 have already had at least one roof replacement. Some homes also have more than one layer of roofing. We determine how many layers are present before providing a quote because removing extra layers adds labor and disposal work and can affect the price.

We decide whether a Park City roof needs replacement by inspecting the current condition of the shingles and the wood underneath them. The age of a home built around 1989 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 Park City 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 Park City:

• Snow-load check: At about 6,936 feet of elevation, snow can remain on the roof for long periods. We check the roof structure as well as the shingles for signs that snow weight has caused stress or damage.
• Freeze-thaw protection: We install a waterproof membrane along the lower roof edges. During winter, snow can melt when temperatures rise and freeze again when temperatures fall. Water can back up under the shingles in these areas, and the membrane provides an extra layer of protection.
• Bare wood inspection: We strip the roof entirely. On a home built around 1989, finding a few soft decking boards is normal and something to expect, not a surprise. We replace them so your new roof has a solid foundation.
• Full tear-off: We remove all existing roofing layers instead of installing new shingles over the old roof. This lets us inspect the wood underneath and repair hidden damage before installing the new roofing system.
• Ventilation corrected: We inspect the attic ventilation while the roof is open. Proper ventilation lets hot, moist air escape from the attic and can help reduce heat and moisture that would otherwise shorten the life of the roofing materials.
• 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 Park City 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 and provide a written quoteWe inspect the roof, photograph its condition, and measure the work before providing a written price. If the roof does not need replacement, we tell you that.
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. 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.
