Asphalt Shingle Roofing Cost in 84116 — Salt Lake City, UT

84116 covers Salt Lake City (Rose Park) in Salt Lake City, UT. We work this ZIP code regularly and know the housing stock in it: a mix of pre-war bungalows and Victorians in the older east-side and Avenues neighborhoods, mid-century ranches on the west side, and infill townhomes downtown.

Salt Lake City has some of the oldest housing stock on the Wasatch Front. It is common for us to pull back two or even three layers of shingles on an Avenues or Liberty Wells home, and older homes often have skip-sheathing or plank decking underneath that has to be evaluated before a new roof goes on.

Older homes here frequently carry two or three existing shingle layers, and plank or skip-sheathing decking under them. Both push tear-off and decking lines up, so budget above the valley midpoint on anything pre-1960.

That range assumes a complete tear-off, synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, new flashing, and ridge ventilation. A quote materially below it is usually missing one of those, not finding a cheaper shingle.

3-tab

Flat, uniform, the cheapest option. Typically rated to 60 mph wind and 15 to 20 years of service. Fewer manufacturers still promote it, and given the modest price gap we rarely recommend it in Utah — the wind rating alone is a problem on exposed lots.

Architectural (dimensional)

Two laminated layers, a shadowed profile, and typically a 110 to 130 mph wind rating with 25 to 30 years of service. This is what goes on the large majority of homes in the Salt Lake Valley and it is the right default for most.

Designer / premium

Heavier, thicker, often mimicking slate or wood shake, with wind ratings up to 130 mph and 30 to 50 year ratings. The step up from architectural across a whole roof is frequently only $2,500 to $4,000 — worth considering on a steep, visible roof or an exposed bench lot.

Roofing is priced per "square" — one square is 100 square feet of roof surface. A typical 84116 (Salt Lake City) home works out to somewhere between 18 and 30 squares once pitch and overhang are counted, which is always more than the home's floor area.

Architectural shingle, complete tear-off, typical complexity. This is the table most homeowners actually want.

Two houses of the same square footage on the same street can be 40% apart. These are the reasons, roughly in order of impact.

• Complexity. Dormers, valleys, chimneys, skylights, and intersecting gables are where the labor hours actually go. A simple gable ranch and a cut-up two-story with the same square footage are not the same job.
• Decking condition. Unknowable until the old roof is off. It should be quoted as a per-sheet rate, not buried in the total.
• Material tier. The spread from builder-grade to designer shingle across a full roof is often only $2,500 to $4,000 — one of the better value decisions in the project.
• Access. Tight side yards, steep driveways, low-hanging power lines, and no place to stage a dumpster all add time.
• Season. Late fall and winter are slower for most contractors, and pricing sometimes reflects that. Mid-summer after a storm is the worst time to shop on price.
• Pitch. Anything above about 7:12 requires additional fall protection and slows the crew down. Steep roofs commonly add 15 to 30%.
• Layers. Tearing off two or three existing layers roughly doubles the tear-off and disposal line.
