Architectural and Class 4 impact-rated shingles, installed to spec by our own crew. Built for the hail, the snow, and the sun the Wasatch Front throws at a roof.
Asphalt shingle isn't the flashy choice. It's the sensible one, and modern architectural shingles are a different product than what your house wore twenty years ago.
Modern architectural shingle gives you the best roof life for the money of anything we install, and it's what most Davis County homes were built to carry.
A shingle re-roof on a typical Wasatch Front home is a one-day job. We plan it so your deck is not left open overnight.
Impact-rated shingles are built to take the hail this valley gets. Ask your insurance agent about the discount; many Utah carriers offer one.
Shingle roofs shed Wasatch snow well when the pitch and the ventilation are right. We check both before we recommend a product.
Weathered grays, warm browns, charcoal. Modern blends fit tan brick, red brick, and mountain-modern builds alike.
A shingle roof can be repaired one slope at a time, if the line is still made. That keeps future problems small.
The honest counterweight: high-altitude sun ages asphalt faster than the brochure assumes. We'll tell you below how to buy the years back.
3-tab is the old standard: flat, thin, and the first thing canyon wind and sun take apart. We can install it, but we rarely recommend it here. Architectural is today's baseline: thicker, dimensional, wind-rated far beyond 3-tab, and what we put on most homes. Class 4 impact-resistant is architectural's armored sibling, built to take hail, often with an insurance discount to show for it.
Picking a color? Here's how we help you choose one that fits the brick, the HOA, and the light.
Two shingle roofs can look identical from the street and be years apart in lifespan. The difference is everything under and around the shingles. Here's what "installed to spec" actually means.
Down to bare decking, every sheet inspected, anything soft replaced and photographed before it's covered. A new roof over bad decking is a countdown, not a roof.
Self-sealing membrane at the eaves and valleys where Utah ice dams form, synthetic underlayment everywhere else: the second line of defense your roof will someday need.
Metal drip edge so water leaves the roof instead of wicking behind it, and proper starter strips so the first course seals, the detail wind failures trace back to.
Correct nail count, placement, and depth on every shingle. Overdriven or misplaced nails are the invisible defect that voids warranties and feeds windstorms.
New flashing at walls and chimneys, new boots at every pipe. Reusing tired flashing under new shingles is the classic shortcut, and we don't take it.
Ridge vents and cap shingles that finish the system, because a roof that can't breathe cooks itself from the attic out in summer and dams ice in winter.
Here's the part the packaging won't tell you: at 4,300 feet the UV is stronger than the national brochure numbers assume, and the freeze-thaw cycle works on every seal all winter. A shingle roof here lives a harder life than the same roof in a milder climate. That's the trade for its price, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.
The good news is the gap is manageable: good attic ventilation (built into every install we do), a free inspection every couple of years, and small repairs done while they're small routinely buy the years back.
"They did a wonderful job on my roof update! They work fast, and use quality materials! Highly Recommended!"
"Roof looks great, quality materials, fast service, fair price. Would use them again."
Architectural shingles are rated for decades, but Wasatch Front sun and freeze-thaw shorten that. With good ventilation and the occasional small repair, twenty-plus years is realistic. Without them, less.
If you've had hail on your street in the last few years, usually yes. Ask your insurance agent whether they discount for impact-rated shingles; many Utah carriers do, and the math often works out.
We can, but we rarely recommend it. Canyon wind takes 3-tab apart first, and architectural shingle isn't much more for a much longer life.
Architectural shingles from the major manufacturers. We'll tell you which line fits your budget and your HOA, and bring the sample boards to the estimate.
See color options →Code allows a second layer in some cases, and we almost never recommend it. A roof-over hides bad decking and voids most warranties. We tear off to the deck.
Manufacturer warranties vary by line and by how the roof is installed; a spec install is what keeps them valid. We'll show you the manufacturer's terms for the shingle you choose before you sign.
We'll measure your actual roof, bring shingle samples you can hold, and give you a written, itemized estimate, with an honest word on whether Class 4 is worth it for your street.
