Your Roof Stands Between You and Winter

Professional roofing installation and replacement built for Salt Lake City homes and businesses

Your roof faces snow accumulation, intense summer sun, and wind exposure unique to Salt Lake City. When shingles fail or underlayment deteriorates, water finds its way into attics and walls. Kimball roofing & siding works with asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, and flat roofing systems designed to handle the specific weather patterns that define this area.

A complete roof installation or replacement begins with a tear-off when necessary, followed by a structural assessment of the decking beneath. You receive proper underlayment installation that creates a water barrier before any shingles go down. The work addresses not just what you see from the street, but what protects your property from freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snowfall throughout the year. The result is a roof that increases property value, improves curb appeal, and provides long-term protection against the elements common in northern Utah.

If your roof shows wear or damage, schedule a professional roofing consultation with Kimball roofing & siding to discuss options that fit your building and budget.

How a New Roof Changes What Happens Inside

The installation process in Salt Lake City accounts for snow load requirements and ventilation standards that vary by roof pitch and building type. Crews remove old materials, inspect and repair structural decking, install underlayment rated for high winds, and apply shingles in overlapping rows that shed water and resist uplift. You see the difference in how your attic stays dry during spring snowmelt and how your cooling costs drop when summer temperatures climb.

After the work is finished, you notice that water no longer stains your ceiling, your attic insulation stays dry, and ice dams stop forming along your eaves. The new surface reflects UV rays more effectively, and the shingles grip the roof deck without curling or lifting in windstorms. Your heating system runs less often because the thermal barrier above your living space functions the way it should.

The project includes removal of all debris, magnetic sweeps for nails, and disposal of old roofing material. Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights is replaced or resealed to match the new shingle layer. The service does not include interior repairs to drywall or insulation, but it stops the conditions that cause those problems. What follows is a roof system built to perform through the seasonal extremes this region brings every year.

Questions homeowners ask before starting a roofing project

Replacing a roof is a significant decision, and most property owners want to understand what the work involves before they commit. These questions address the practical concerns that come up during consultations and site visits.

How long does a full roof replacement take?
Most residential roofs in Salt Lake City take one to three days depending on size, pitch, and weather conditions. Larger or more complex roofs may require additional time for structural repairs or flashing work.
What happens if it snows during the installation?
Crews monitor weather forecasts and cover exposed decking with tarps if precipitation arrives unexpectedly. Work resumes once conditions allow safe footing and proper material adhesion.
Why does underlayment matter if shingles cover it?
Underlayment acts as a secondary water barrier when shingles crack, lift, or allow wind-driven moisture underneath. It protects the decking from rot and extends the lifespan of the entire roof system.
What roofing materials work best in this climate?
Architectural shingles rated for high wind and impact resistance perform well in northern Utah. Flat roofing systems use membranes designed to handle freeze-thaw cycles and UV exposure without cracking.
When should I replace my roof instead of repairing it?
You should consider replacement when multiple areas show shingle loss, the decking feels soft underfoot, or the roof has reached the end of its rated lifespan. Isolated damage often responds well to targeted repairs.
