Roofs don't leak because materials are bad; they leak because they were installed incorrectly. When and how it leaks is diagnostic: every rain, only long rains, or only sideways storms each point to a different problem.
Reading a leak like a roofer does. Why water shows up far from where it gets in, what a sometimes-leak is telling you, why roofs leak after the snow melts, and how to tell a small fix from a failing roof.
After a storm, the order of operations matters: document, get a real assessment, and never sign with whoever knocks first. Insurance covers storm damage, not wear, and shingle wind warranties quietly stop at 15 years.
The expensive leaks are the slow ones, not the dramatic ones. A cheap failed part can quietly become reframing and mold remediation, and yes, attics grow mold even in Utah's dry climate.
We're here to see what's going on with your roof. A real assessment starts with your history and your attic, not a number from the driveway. You'll get a straight answer about what's up there, what it needs, and what it costs. Sometimes the honest answer is: your roof looks great.
