When a roof is finished, we take it to the deck: full tear-off, every sheet of decking checked for rot and delamination, then a rebuild with synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, new flashing, and ventilation corrected while the roof is open. No new shingles laid over old failures. We pull the right permit for your jurisdiction, since Tooele City, Grantsville, and unincorporated Tooele County each handle it differently.

Most of our repair calls trace back to a wind event, and most of them start at an edge. Lifted shingle tabs, ridge caps that let go one at a time, flashing worked loose by temperature swing, and pipe boots cracked by sun and cold. We find the actual entry point rather than patching the stain, and we photograph before and after. Small jobs are welcome, and we will tell you plainly when a repair is the smarter buy.

Shingle selection here is a wind and impact question first. We install architectural shingles rated for high wind, fastened in the six-nail pattern that manufacturers require for their higher wind warranties, and we can spec Class 4 impact-resistant products rated under UL 2218 for hail exposure. Ask us whether your carrier discounts Class 4 before you decide, because the answer changes the math

After a wind or hail event we document everything with dated photographs, tell you honestly what is claimable versus what is ordinary wear, and walk through your deductible math before you decide whether to file. We do not knock on doors after storms and we do not ask anyone to sign a contract on the porch.

Hail bruising is often invisible from the ground and easy to miss even from a ladder. It shows as soft spots where the granule layer has been driven into the mat, and the shingle keeps failing quietly for years afterward. We inspect the roof, the soft metals, and the vents, because damage on flashing and vent caps is frequently what confirms a hail claim when the shingles are ambiguous.

Tooele averages more annual snowfall than Logan does, and the valley's daily temperature swings drive the melt-and-refreeze cycle that builds dams at cold eaves. We clear them with low-pressure steam rather than chippers or hatchets, then address the cause, which is nearly always attic air leakage, thin or settled insulation, and blocked ventilation.

Wind is what makes snow load in this valley unpredictable. It scours one slope bare and deposits the difference behind ridges, parapets, and dormers, so the load on part of your roof can run well past what the seasonal snowfall number suggests. Sticking doors, fresh drywall cracks, or a visible dip in the ridge line mean the load comes off now. We rake and clear without gouging shingles or voiding warranties.

Metal has a strong case in a wind valley, provided it is installed for one. That means concealed-fastener standing seam rather than exposed-fastener panels wherever budget allows, correct clip spacing for uplift, and hemmed and cleated edges, because a metal roof fails at its perimeter long before it fails in the field. On exposed-fastener panels we service the washers, which are the part that ages out.

Water coming in, a section of roof open, or a tarp that let go. We anchor tarps into sound framing rather than weighting them down with boards, because a weighted tarp in this valley is a temporary solution to a temporary solution. Call rather than filling out a form.

Free, photographed, and yours to keep either way. The two useful windows here are early fall, before snow closes the roof off until spring, and the week after any severe wind or hail event, when documentation is still fresh enough to support a claim. We also inspect for real estate transactions across the county.

A gutter is a long open trough bolted to the most exposed edge of your house, and wind gets under the front lip and pulls up on every hanger holding it there. That is why runs out here sag, pull loose, and end up in the flower bed. We hang on screwed hidden hangers spaced tighter than the national default, with extra fastening on the elevations that take the prevailing wind, then size the downspouts for spring melt and add gutter apron so meltwater cannot run behind the trough and rot your fascia.
