Benefits of Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Affordability
Asphalt shingles are one of the most cost-effective roofing materials on the market today. They offer a strong balance between performance and price, making them ideal for homeowners on a budget. You get dependable protection without sacrificing quality or aesthetics. Additionally, repair and replacement costs are typically low, making them a financially sound long-term option.
Versatile Design Options
With countless colors, textures, and shapes to choose from, asphalt shingles can complement nearly any architectural style. Whether you're updating a colonial home or designing a modern build, asphalt shingles can be tailored to match your desired look. Some high-end varieties even mimic the appearance of slate, tile, or wood shakes, giving you luxury at a lower price point.
Ease of Installation
Asphalt shingles are lightweight and easy to work with, which speeds up the installation process and reduces labor costs. This is especially beneficial for roof replacements where time and budget are crucial. Their flexibility also allows roofers to install them cleanly around chimneys, vents, and complex rooflines, ensuring a seamless finish.
Durable Weather Resistance
High-quality asphalt shingles are built to withstand a wide range of environmental stressors, including wind, rain, snow, and UV rays. Many varieties are impact-rated and can resist wind speeds up to 130 mph, making them suitable for storm-prone regions. Some shingles also come with built-in algae and fire resistance for added peace of mind.
Low Maintenance Requirements
Once installed, asphalt shingle roofs require little ongoing maintenance. Periodic inspections and the occasional shingle replacement are usually enough to keep the system in top condition. This makes them a hassle-free choice for busy homeowners or those who want a low-maintenance roofing solution that still looks great year after year.
Energy Efficiency
Many modern asphalt shingles are designed with reflective granules that help reduce heat absorption from the sun. This keeps your home cooler during hot summer months and can lead to noticeable savings on energy bills. Certified options are available, making asphalt shingles a smart choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do asphalt shingle roofs last in Utah?
Asphalt shingles typically last 20–30 years in Utah, depending on maintenance, installation quality, and local climate. Regular inspections and timely repairs can extend their life. Proper ventilation and attic insulation also contribute to better longevity and performance.
Can asphalt shingles withstand heavy snow in Layton?
Yes, modern shingles are engineered to resist snow loads when correctly installed. Using ice and water shields and ensuring good attic ventilation helps prevent ice dams. This is especially important during Layton’s harsh winter months with frequent snowfall.
Do asphalt shingles work for low-slope roofs?
Shingles are best suited for roofs with a minimum slope of 2:12. Materials like modified bitumen or membrane systems are preferred for anything flatter. Always consult with a professional roofer to assess the safest option for your roof type.
Are there energy-efficient asphalt shingle options?
Yes, many shingles come with reflective granules that help reduce solar heat gain. These “cool roof” shingles are ideal for Utah’s hot summers and help lower your cooling bills. They also contribute to the improved energy performance of the overall structure.
How do I know if my shingles need replacement?
Look for signs like curling, missing shingles, granule loss, leaks, or water stains inside your home. Moss or algae growth is also a red flag. A detailed inspection by a roofing contractor can determine if repair or replacement is necessary.
Is it okay to layer new shingles over old ones?
While Utah code may allow a second layer in some cases, it’s not usually recommended. A tear-off allows proper deck inspection, ensures longer-lasting results, and meets warranty requirements. Removing the old roof prevents hidden damage from going unnoticed.
What colors are best for high-UV areas like Davis County?
Lighter-colored shingles reflect sunlight more effectively, keeping your home cooler in Davis County’s hot summers. Reflective shingles can help you save on cooling costs and often come with ENERGY STAR ratings for additional environmental and financial benefits.
Will insurance cover roof replacement after a storm?
Most Utah homeowners’ insurance policies cover damage from wind, hail, and severe storms. Filing promptly and working with a contractor who can document the damage increases your approval chances. We help streamline the process from inspection to replacement.

Testimonials
Jason was amazing!!!! We had him come out for a flat portion of our roof, that was for an addition first. And then a year later he came out for the regular part of the roof. (It all needed to be replaced). He had to deal with our solar panels, handled like a pro btw. He and his crew left the yard in great shape and picked up EVERYTHING! I’ve referred him now to two of my neighbors, they both loved the work completed and the price. Thanks Jason!!
Tracy W.
I called them after a windstorm blew tons of shingles off. They were quick to come out and assess the damage, professional and thorough. They put on temporary protection while we negotiated with the stupid insurance company. They were SUPER helpful working with the adjuster, and haggled with them after the cheapskates refused to pay for anything. At the end of it all, they did great work and I’m very glad I called them.
Ryan B.
Jason and his company do an amazing job!! He’s helped me and so many people I know get their roofs done. He is amazing at communicating throughout the entire process. His crews get the work done quickly and with the highest quality. One thing that really left me impressed is how well they cleaned up after the jobs were completed. Everyone who needs a roof should go through J&R Roofing
Connor C.

Valorie H.
Jason was very professional and easy to work with. He helped us navigate the insurance process and was an awesome advocate in dealing with the adjuster. His team over delivered by completing the job in 2 days instead of 3. I would recommend and work with this company again.
Aaron P.
Jason and his crew were excellent. They were able to come out after a few major snow storms, get the roof cleared off and the old one torn off with new one installed in 2 days. Very happy with their work.
