Utah Roof Replacement

A sound and water-tight roof is a lot more than just nailing on the shingles.

1. First, a straight and sound structural deck must be in place to support the roof covering. It is common for a roof leak to occur due to movement or failure of the roof decking or supports. When replacing an existing roof, it is important to thoroughly inspect the substrate surface for loose nailing, improper joints and connections, or evidence of wood rot or deterioration.
2. Ice and water shield is placed on all of the perimeter and in all the valleys New synthetic felt underlayment is installed on the entire roof.
3. Next in the process is the metal work. Metal drip edge is installed around all perimeter edges. Mitering the corners correctly and proper lapping is a detail many roofers overlook. We often find backward laps and cut square corners on homes we are called to repair or re-roof. All walls, headwalls and valleys should be metal lined as well. At all junctures, FORTRESS ROOFING uses a 3-piece flashing detail, recognized as the best method in the industry. All dead valleys and crickets are lined with a torch-down rubber membrane to assure maximum leak proofing in areas subject to excessive water flows or pressures.
4. The proper application of shingles requires experience and attention to details. Use of chalk lines to keep courses straight, use of proper starters and cap shingles, installations over valleys, proper number and locations of nails all play a vital part in the integrity of your roof.
5. Finally, cleaning up and inspecting the work ensures a satisfactory completion for each job. At FORTRESS ROOFING our pride and reputation depend on strict adherence to all of the above. We can sum it all up with one word: COMMITMENT.
