REGIONAL GUIDE
Utah Wasatch Front Roofing Guide
Wasatch Front roofs go through snow and freeze-thaw in winter, wind in spring, heat and strong sun in summer, and occasional hail and thunderstorms. Each season stresses the roof differently, so inspections after storms and before winter pay off.

Four Seasons, Four Stresses
What each season does to your roof.
| Season | Main stress | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Winter | Snow, ice, freeze-thaw | Ice at eaves, cracked sealants |
| Spring | Wind, temperature changes | Lifted or missing shingles |
| Summer | Heat, UV | Aging shingles, cracked pipe boots |
| Storms | Hail, wind, heavy rain | Granule loss, dents, leaks |
02
After a Storm
Check gutters, vents and siding for dents, then schedule a storm damage inspection. See the Utah hail damage guide.
03
Repair or Replace?
Isolated wind or flashing damage is usually a roof repair. Widespread hail or an aging surface points toward roof replacement.
