Shingles shed water; they do not waterproof. Below a 2:12 pitch, code and every shingle manufacturer say membrane. A lot of leaking 'flat' roofs are just the wrong material installed by someone who didn't know better.
Why the flat section of your roof keeps leaking, what actually belongs on a low slope, and how to tell whether a membrane roof was installed by someone who really knows membrane.
In Utah's sun and weather, stone-coated steel is a true 50-year roof, metal runs two lifetimes of asphalt, and shingles last about 20 years if you're lucky. Asphalt quality is also not what it used to be, which changes the math.
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.
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.
