Professional Roof Installation Services
Timing your roof replacement is straightforward. Many homeowners mistakenly wait for their roof to show signs of aging. By then, you’re risking a failure that could lead to serious water damage. Taking a proactive approach yields better long-term results. If you have 25-year shingles, plan for a replacement in the 25th year. If you’re uncertain about the age or condition of your shingles, schedule Master Roofing for a roof inspection to assess your needs.
Watch for the signs you need a roof replacement:
- Missing or loose shingles
- Shingles that are torn or curled
- Water stains or mold in the attic
- Damaged roof ventilation components
- Rusted or otherwise damaged flashing
Roof installation for an existing home involves two main phases: tear-off and reroofing. During the tear-off, we remove all old materials and ensure proper disposal. Reroofing consists of installing new underlayment, shingles, and flashing. If roof damage occurs, we may need to replace some or all of the roof decking. Additionally, some homes require the replacement or addition of roof ventilation components.
A common question homeowners ask is whether they must stick to their current roofing material. The answer is no; you can select from various roofing materials for your roof installation. Most residential roofs accommodate a range of materials, even heavy options like slate.
Asphalt shingles dominate the roofing materials market in Utah homes. Three-tab shingles are the traditional choice, offering a strong balance between cost and performance. However, many homeowners prefer architectural shingles. Also known as laminated or dimensional shingles, architectural shingles often last twice as long and provide numerous design options, including varied colors and textures.
While architectural shingles typically last 30 years, aluminum and steel metal roofs can last up to 50 years. Zinc and copper roofs may endure for over 100 years, and wood roofs also have a lifespan of around 50 years. Cedar is a popular roofing material available in either singles or shakes, known for its beauty that enhances as it matures.Roof installation for an existing home involves two main phases: tear-off and reroofing.
