Hail bruise
The granules get knocked off and the mat underneath starts aging in the open. It will not leak this season. It will leak long after your claim window shut.
Repair-first. About a third of the roofs we look at don't need replacing.

The 30-year myth
Your "30-year" shingle was rated at sea level.
Manufacturers test in mild, low-altitude conditions. Put the same shingle on a Wasatch Front roof and the curve bends hard. The failure point arrives roughly a decade early.

4Things attacking your roof

Why Utah roofs fail early
Utah doesn't wear out roofs the way the brochure says.
Four forces work on a Wasatch Front roof simultaneously, and a roof almost always loses to one of them long before the warranty runs out. Knowing which one is coming for yours is the entire point of the inspection.
Freeze-thaw cycling
The valley crosses 32°F more than 90 times a year. Water gets into a hairline crack, freezes overnight, and levers it wider. Every single winter.
Bench hail
Storms stack against the mountains and drop bigger stones on the benches than on the valley floor. Hail bruises don't leak for two or three years, long after the claim window shuts.
Altitude UV
At 4,500 feet there's roughly 20% more UV hitting your south slopes than at sea level. Asphalt loses its oils, granules let go, and the mat turns brittle years early.
Ice damming
Warm attic air melts the snowpack, it refreezes at the cold eave, and backed-up water runs uphill under your shingles. That's a ventilation failure, but most roofers just replace the shingles.
What's actually up there
A roof is six systems. Most quotes only price one.
When a bid comes in suspiciously low, it's almost always because something below the shingles got left out. Tap any layer to see what it does and what happens when it's skipped.
-
The plywood or OSB everything else fastens to. Soft, delaminated, or rotted sheets have to be replaced, and this is the line item that "surprise" change orders come from. We inspect the deck once it's exposed and call you before spending a dollar you didn't approve.
-
A self-sealing membrane at every eave and valley. This is the single most important layer in Utah and the one most often shorted to win a bid. Without it, an ice dam puts water straight into your ceiling. Code minimum is not enough on a north-facing slope.
-
The secondary water barrier across the whole deck. Synthetic outlasts felt by decades and doesn't wrinkle or tear when a crew walks it. If a quote says "15lb felt," you're being sold 1990s roofing at 2026 prices.
-
A purpose-made adhesive course at the eaves and rakes that seals the first row down. Cutting up regular shingles to fake a starter is common, cheaper, and voids most manufacturer wind warranties. It's also where blow-offs begin.
-
The only layer most homeowners ever discuss. Nail placement matters more than brand. Four nails in the wrong zone will fail a Class 4 shingle faster than hail will. We hand-place; we don't gun-and-run.
-
Continuous ridge exhaust sized against your actual attic square footage, balanced with soffit intake. Get this wrong and you bake the shingles from below in July and grow ice dams in January. This is the fix for damming, not more shingles.
What we do
Five services. One crew that does all of them.
No subcontractors handed your address and a work order. The people who inspect your roof are the people who fix it.
Storm & hail damage restoration
We document the damage, meet your adjuster on the roof, and argue the scope line by line. You pay your deductible, not the gap between what the carrier offered and what the job actually costs.

Roof replacement
Full tear-off, deck inspection, ice-and-water at every eave and valley, and ridge ventilation sized to your attic. Most homes go on and dry in the same day.

Storm & hail restoration
If hail hit your street, the clock is already running.
Most Utah policies give you a limited window from the date of loss to file. The damage doesn't have to be leaking yet. It only has to be documented.

Before you sign with a storm chaser
After a big hail event, out-of-state crews work Utah neighborhoods door to door. Some are fine. Many are gone by the time your roof leaks. Ask any roofer at your door these four questions:
- What's your Utah contractor license number?
- Where's your physical office in this state?
- Who honors the workmanship warranty in year six?
- Can I see three addresses you finished within five miles?
What we find up there
Four things your roof is hiding from the street.
None of these are visible from your driveway. All four are in the report, photographed and dated, whether you hire us or not.
Warranty already void
Wind-creased tab
Once the sealant strip breaks, the tab is a sail. The crease is a hinge that works itself wider on every Wasatch canyon wind.
The #1 Utah leak
Split pipe boot
A twelve dollar rubber collar cooks in high-altitude UV, splits, and drops water directly into the wall cavity beside your bathroom.
A ventilation problem
Ice dam
Warm attic air melts the snowpack, it refreezes at the cold eave, and the backed-up water runs uphill under your shingles. New shingles will not fix this.
The deliverable
The 21-point roof report.
Most "free inspections" are a sales call with a ladder. Here's exactly what we check, what we photograph, and what lands in your inbox that evening.

The ones we're proudest of are the jobs we talked people out of.
★★★★★
Two other companies quoted me a full replacement. Utah Roofing climbed up, took forty photos, and told me I had six or seven years left and needed three pipe boots replaced. Charged me $340. I'll never call anyone else.

★★★★★
Our carrier came back about eleven grand short. They put the supplement documentation together, met the adjuster on the roof a second time, and got it approved. We paid our deductible and nothing else.

Crew showed at 7, roof was done and cleaned by 4. My wife found one nail in the driveway and they sent someone back the next morning to run the magnet again. That's the whole review, really.

Straight answers
The questions people actually ask.
Short versions below. The long version is in your report.
Often, no. Roughly a third of the roofs we inspect need a targeted repair, not a replacement. Our inspector isn't paid on commission, so there's no upside in telling you otherwise. You get the photos either way and you're welcome to take them to any contractor you like.
Most Wasatch Front replacements land between $9,000 and $22,000 depending on square footage, pitch, how many layers have to come off, and material. Your written estimate is a fixed price, not a range. If something changes once the deck is exposed, we stop and talk to you before any additional work happens.
Hail and wind are weather claims, not at-fault claims, and Utah carriers generally rate them differently than an at-fault loss. We'll walk you through what your specific policy says before you file anything, and we never file on your behalf without your sign-off. If it isn't a claim worth making, we'll tell you that too.
Most single-family homes are torn off and dried in the same day. Crews arrive around 7am. We tarp your landscaping, keep the dumpster off your lawn, and run a magnet sweep of the driveway, lawn, and gutter lines before anyone leaves. If you find a nail afterward, call us and we'll come back and sweep again.
Manufacturer coverage on the materials plus a written workmanship warranty on our labor, transferable once if you sell the home. We also come back at the twelve-month mark and re-inspect at no charge. After one full Utah winter is when installation problems show up, so that's when we look.
Yes, and it's the right time to do it. The gutters come off for the tear-off anyway. Seamless aluminum rolled on site, oversized downdrains where the roof drains a big plane, and buried lines if snowmelt is finding your foundation. Doing both together also usually beats two separate mobilizations on price.
