Roof Inspection in South Salt Lake, UT

If an inspection report does not touch most of this, it was a sales visit with a ladder.

• Shingle condition by slope — granule loss, curling, cupping, exposed mat, and blistering, noted per plane rather than as a single overall grade
• All flashing: walls, chimneys, skylights, and every penetration, with attention to whether it is original or was reused at a previous reroof
• Valleys — debris, wear-through, and whether they were cut or woven
• Pipe boots and vent collars, which crack before almost anything else
• Ridge and hip cap condition and fastening
• Fasteners — nail pops, back-out, and evidence of underdriven or overdriven nails
• Eaves, drip edge, fascia, and gutters, including evidence of past ice damming
• Attic, where accessible: daylight, active or historic moisture staining, insulation condition, and whether intake and exhaust ventilation are actually balanced
• Decking feel underfoot — soft spots and deflection between rafters
• Any prior repair work and whether it was done correctly

Small homes and duplexes price low per building. Owners with several properties should ask for a phased multi-building quote rather than pricing them one at a time.

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.

• Any time you see an interior stain, however small.
• Every three to five years once the roof is past 15 years old.
• When your insurer asks for a roof condition report at renewal, which is becoming more common.
• After any wind event over about 50 mph, or any hail. Damage is often invisible from the ground and insurance claim windows are limited.
• Before buying a home, especially one with a roof over 15 years old. The general home inspection typically does not include walking the roof.
• Before selling, so a buyer’s inspector does not surface something that turns into a price negotiation you did not control.

• Dated photographs of everything we flagged, taken on your roof, not stock images
• A written condition report by slope, not a single overall grade
• A realistic remaining-life estimate in years
• A prioritized list — what is urgent, what to watch, and what can wait several years
• Repair pricing where a repair is warranted, and a replacement estimate only where one is genuinely justified
• No obligation, no same-day pricing pressure, no "this price is only good today"

South Salt Lake has more small rental and multi-family property than anywhere else we serve. Owners here care about cost per unit and turnaround time, and we quote that work differently than a single owner-occupied home — often as a phased plan across several buildings.

A lot of the low-slope and flat sections on older South Salt Lake buildings were never suited to shingles in the first place, and those are the roofs that leak reliably every spring.

Housing here is small pre-war and post-war homes, a heavy share of duplexes and small rental properties, and mixed light-commercial buildings. We work throughout the Central Pointe area, the State Street corridor, the Granite area, the 3300 South corridor, and the rest of South Salt Lake — including everything near Central Pointe station.
