Salt Lake City roofing help: start with what changed
This is an independent guide and request site. It is not the contractor that does the work.
Snow load, ice building at the eaves, strong mountain sun and wide temperature swings all wear on a Wasatch Front roof. Use the guide to organize the facts, then send a request when you are ready.
What can I record about a Salt Lake City roof without going up there?
Quite a lot. Take dated photos from the ground on every side of the building, and interior photos of any ceiling or wall staining. Add the date of the storm if there was one, and any paperwork from earlier work. Do not climb a damaged, wet or steep roof, and stay clear of downed power lines.
Does hail always leave damage you can see from the ground?
No. The National Weather Service defines a severe thunderstorm as one able to produce hail an inch or larger or wind gusts over 58 mph, and hail that size can mark roofs, vents, gutters and vehicles. Write the storm date down and photograph what you can reach safely, then leave the roof itself to a qualified person.
How do I decide between roof repair and replacement?
The roofer who inspects the roof can recommend a repair or replacement and explain the proposed scope. You decide whether to accept the proposal. This website does not inspect roofs, diagnose damage, quote work or set a scope.
What local conditions should a request in Salt Lake City mention?
Snow load, ice building at the eaves, strong mountain sun and wide temperature swings all wear on a Wasatch Front roof. Write down the part of that pattern you can see at the property, with the room, the material and the date you noticed it. Local detail helps a provider judge access before a visit.
Who does the work
Impact Building Solutions
Impact Building Solutions is a construction company based in Austin, TX. Their legal name is Impact Building Solutions LLC. They review requests sent from this site. If service coverage is available, they can help arrange an introduction to an independent provider. Ask who will be doing the work, and check that crew's own license and insurance, before you authorize anything.
Salt Lake City sends newer permit searches to Citizen Access and older records to a separate search. Its tips suggest using just the street number and street name. Check both resources for an older roof. Ask your bidder which past records help define the new work. Salt Lake City Building Services
