Common Roof Problems We See in Holladay
What we find on a Holladay roof is largely set by when the house went up. Homes built around 1969 carry decades of previous repairs, and the quality of that earlier work decides how much your roof needs now more than its age does. These four come up most.
Layers hiding the decking underneath
Homes of this age in Holladay often carry a second layer of shingles laid straight over the first, because it was cheaper than a tear-off at the time. That layer hides whatever the deck is doing, and on a house built around 1969 the deck is usually the part that needs the work.
Roof Replacement→Flashing on older roof details
Older Holladay homes have been added onto, re-covered and re-flashed more than once over the years. Every chimney, dormer and sidewall junction is a joint that depends on metal flashing to keep water out, and most leaks we trace on homes built around 1969 end at one of those joints, not at a shingle.
Roof Leak Repair→Debris off mature trees
The established tree cover around Holladay drops enough into gutters and valleys to hold water where it should be running off. Standing debris keeps the roof surface damp long after the weather has cleared, and that is what shortens it.
Gutter Services→Uneven wear across the slopes
At 4,465 feet the sun is harder on asphalt than it is at sea level. South and west slopes in Holladay routinely go brittle and lose granules years before the north side of the same roof. A roof here often fails unevenly rather than all at once.
Roof Replacement→What Holladay Roofs Are Up Against
Holladay's mature, tree-lined neighborhoods mean overhanging limbs, shaded roof sections that hold moisture, and older homes where flashing and valleys need close attention.

When Does a Holladay Roof Need Replacing?
A Holladay roof needs replacing when the current shingles stop sealing and shedding water properly, which on homes built around 1969 has usually happened at least once already. Age on paper counts for little here. The condition of whatever went on last is what decides it, and that has to be checked on the roof rather than guessed at.
Signs Holladay Roofs Are Near the End
- Two different shingle colors or textures visible on one roof, which usually means a layer went over a layer
- Staining on an upstairs ceiling near a chimney, dormer or sidewall
- Gutters and valleys holding debris and staying damp after the weather clears
- Granules collecting in the gutters, worst on the south and west sides

How soon can you look at a roof in Holladay?
Courtland Roofing prioritizes anything actively letting water into the house ahead of scheduled work. Call or text, tell us what is happening in Holladay, and we will tell you honestly when we can be there.
Do you replace a roof or repair it where you can?
Repairing instead of replacing is usually the right call when the decking is sound and the problem is confined to flashing or a small area. We will say which applies to your Holladay home and why, and a repair is often the honest answer.
Will you match the shingles on my Holladay home?
Replacement shingles are matched as closely as the existing product allows. On an older roof there is usually some color difference from weathering, and we point that out before starting rather than after.
