Roofs in Park City
Park City asks more of a roof than anywhere else we work. The town sits around 7,000 feet and takes several hundred inches of snow in a normal winter. Old Town has historic homes on very steep pitches. The newer developments have large, complex roofs with a lot of valleys and dormers, and both kinds spend five months of the year under snow.
What Park City does to a roof
Two extremes hit the same roof here. UV climbs with elevation, and the EPA puts the increase at about six percent per kilometre, so a Park City roof takes measurably more of it than one in the valley on the same afternoon. That is the summer half. The winter half is heavier: deep snow sitting for months, then thawing and refreezing at the eaves into ice dams that will find any shingle that has gone stiff. Anyone treating a Park City roof the same way they would treat one in Taylorsville is not paying attention.
If any of that sounds like your roof, a free inspection settles it. We walk every slope, photograph what we find, and tell you whether restoration is worth it or whether you are better off with a repair.

Questions
Roof rejuvenation in Park City
What is roof restoration, and how is it different from a roof replacement?
A replacement tears everything off and starts over. Restoration keeps the shingles you already have and puts back what age took out of them.
Asphalt shingles are held together by oils. Sun, heat and freeze-thaw cycles pull those oils out over time. The shingle goes stiff, the edges curl, and the granules that protect it start washing into your gutters. Our treatment soaks a plant-based oil back into the shingle so it flexes again instead of cracking.
The catch is that it works on shingles that are worn, not shingles that are finished. If yours are cracked through, missing in patches, or the deck underneath is soft, restoration is the wrong call and we will tell you that.
How much does roof restoration cost in Utah?
It comes down to square footage, pitch and condition. A single-story ranch in Roy and a cut-up two-story in Draper are different jobs even at the same square footage, because steep and complex roofs take longer and use more material.
Utah adds one wrinkle: south and west slopes bake far hotter than the shaded sides of the same roof, and heat is what drives the oils out of a shingle. Those slopes often need more attention, which shows up in the inspection and in the quote.
The inspection is free and the quote is written down. Call or text (801) 500-9533 and we will get you on the schedule.
Is my roof too old to restore?
Age is a guide, not the answer. The treatment is aimed at asphalt shingle roofs roughly 1 to 25 years old, and the sweet spot is a roof that has gone dry but has not started failing.
Condition beats the calendar. We have walked 10-year-old roofs that were too far gone because of a bad install, and 22-year-old roofs that took the treatment beautifully. That is what the free inspection is for.
Is roof restoration covered by a warranty?
Yes. Our work carries a written warranty of 6 to 15 years, depending on which product your roof gets. The badge on the van says 6 because that is the floor, not the ceiling. Ask for the exact term on your treatment when we quote it, and get it in writing from anyone else you talk to.
You will see "up to 15 years of added roof life" quoted around this industry, ours included. Here is how our numbers actually work: the warranty is written per product, and depending on which treatment your roof gets, the term runs from 6 to 15 years. Ask us for the warranty details on your specific product before you sign anything, from us or anyone else.
