Common Roof Problems We See in Liberty
Roofing work in Liberty is driven by the age of the housing more than anything else. Homes built around 1994 were roofed to a different standard, and many have been covered over rather than properly replaced since. These are the problems we are called out for most.
Snow that refreezes at the eaves
Liberty sits high enough at 5,171 feet that snow lingers and thaws in cycles instead of clearing in one go. Meltwater runs down, hits the cold overhang, freezes there, and starts backing up under the shingles.
Ice Dam Removal & Prevention→Layers hiding the decking underneath
Homes of this age in Liberty 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 1994 the deck is usually the part that needs the work.
Roof Replacement→Flashing on older roof details
Older Liberty 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 1994 end at one of those joints, not at a shingle.
Roof Leak Repair→Uneven wear across the slopes
At 5,171 feet the sun is harder on asphalt than it is at sea level. South and west slopes in Liberty 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 Liberty Roofs Are Up Against
Liberty is rural Ogden Valley ground with heavy mountain snow and long winters, so roofs here are built around snow load first.

When Does a Liberty Roof Need Replacing?
A Liberty roof needs replacing when the current shingles stop sealing and shedding water properly, which on homes built around 1994 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 Liberty Roofs Are Near the End
- A thick ridge of ice at the eaves, or heavy icicles along the gutter line
- 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
- Granules collecting in the gutters, worst on the south and west sides

Will you match the shingles on my Liberty 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.
What warranty comes with the work?
