Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Utah

Asphalt shingles are the most common roof type in Utah for a reason: strong value, fast installation, and a wide range of colors and profiles.

Is this roofing type a good fit?

Every roof is a system—not just a surface. The best choice depends on your home’s slope, attic ventilation, snow load considerations, and the performance details that matter in Utah.

FAQ

How long do asphalt shingles last in Utah?

Many architectural asphalt shingles last 20–30+ years in Utah when installed correctly with proper ventilation and routine maintenance.

Can you repair a few shingles instead of replacing the whole roof?

Often yes—if the roof system is otherwise healthy and matching materials are available. If damage is widespread or the roof is near end-of-life, replacement may be more cost-effective.
