Frequently Asked questions

Hail can crack or bruise shingles, compromising their waterproofing and shortening roof lifespan. Impact may also dent metal roofing or damage ventilation components. At Sanchez Roofing, we conduct thorough inspections to identify all hail damage and assist with insurance claims for repairs.

Replace your roof when repairs exceed 30% of replacement cost, when shingles are widely curled or missing, or when rotted plywood is extensive. Multiple layers of old shingles or a roof older than 20 years also indicate replacement is more cost-effective than ongoing repairs.

A complete roof replacement includes a limited lifetime material warranty from the manufacturer and a 15-year workmanship warranty covering installation quality. At Sanchez Roofing, our warranties protect both the roofing materials like asphalt shingles, metal, or TPO systems and the labor performed during installation.

Emergency tarping provides immediate temporary protection by covering damaged roof areas to prevent further water intrusion. Sanchez Roofing offers 24/7 emergency response to secure your roof quickly, remove debris, and prevent interior damage until permanent repairs can be completed.

Poor ventilation results from blocked soffit vents, inadequate ridge vents, or imbalanced intake and exhaust airflow. This leads to excess heat and moisture buildup, causing premature shingle aging, rotted plywood, and higher energy costs. Proper ventilation extends roof lifespan and improves indoor comfort.

TPO is a single-ply membrane roofing system used on flat or low-slope roofs, offering excellent UV and weather resistance. Asphalt shingles are layered materials for sloped roofs, available in various styles and colors. At Sanchez Roofing, we install both based on your roof structure and budget.

Professional roofers document storm damage with photos and reports, coordinate directly with insurance adjusters, and assist with claim paperwork to ensure accurate coverage. Sanchez Roofing provides comprehensive insurance claim assistance, streamlining the process so repairs are approved and completed efficiently.

Yes, missing shingles expose underlayment and plywood to rain and snow, leading to leaks, ceiling stains, and rotted decking. Wind-driven moisture can penetrate quickly, especially during Utah storms. Prompt repair prevents costly interior damage and structural deterioration.

A thorough storm damage inspection examines shingles, flashing, gutters, and ventilation for wind, hail, or rain damage. The roofer documents all findings with photos and measurements for insurance purposes. At Sanchez Roofing, we identify visible and hidden damage to ensure complete restoration.

Storms can dislodge gutter sections, create leaks at seams, or cause sagging from debris and ice accumulation. Damaged gutters fail to drain water properly, risking foundation damage and roof edge deterioration. Timely gutter repair restores proper water flow and protects your home's structure.

Delaying inspection and repairs allows minor damage to worsen, leading to leaks, mold, and expensive structural issues. Many homeowners also attempt DIY fixes that void warranties or create safety hazards. At Sanchez Roofing, we recommend immediate professional assessment after any storm event.

Rotted plywood is removed and replaced with new sheathing before installing shingles or roofing materials. This ensures a solid, stable base that supports the new roof and prevents sagging. Sanchez Roofing addresses all rotted decking during roof repair or replacement to guarantee long-term durability.
