If you live in Bountiful, you already know about the east wind. Most of the city sits on the west slope of the Wasatch, from the old blocks around Main Street up through Val Verda and the East Bench toward Bountiful Boulevard and Skyline Drive, and that slope is right where the canyon winds come down hardest. A lot of our Bountiful calls start with “some shingles came off last night.”
We fix that, and we do the rest too: repairs, full replacements, gutters, inspections, and the insurance side when a storm’s involved. Roofing Utah is women-owned, licensed and insured, and we’re just up the road in Roy. We’ll pull the Bountiful permit, too.
Much of Bountiful went up between the 1950s and the 1990s, so we spend a lot of time on brick ramblers, split-entries, and two-story homes on big lots. The original town site near Main Street is older than that, and the homes up on the bench deal with steeper lots and a lot more wind. Most of our work here falls into a few buckets:
Bountiful sits around 4,800 feet, with Mueller Park, North Canyon, and Holbrook Canyon right behind it. When an east wind sets up, the air pours down those canyons and straight across the bench. On December 1, 2011, gusts hit 102 mph next door in Centerville, and Davis County ended up with roughly $6.1 million in damage. Plenty of Bountiful homeowners lost shingles that night. The September 2020 storm was another bad one, knocking trees down all over town and tipping trucks on I-15.
Fire’s a real concern up there as well. In August 2019, a fire that started in Ward Canyon got pushed downhill by the wind into neighborhoods. Three homes were lost and around 400 households had to leave. So when we replace a roof on the bench, we’ll talk with you about wind-rated shingles and how they’re nailed, ember-resistant vents and eaves, and keeping your gutters and valleys clear of needles and leaves.
Bountiful City requires a permit to reroof, and an inspector comes out to check the sheathing, the ice barrier, and the finished roof. Two city rules catch people off guard. You can’t add a new layer over two or more old ones, and older homes with spaced plank decking need solid plywood or OSB laid over the planks before new shingles go on. Small repairs under the city’s size limit usually don’t need a permit at all. Either way, we take care of the permit and the inspections for you.
We’re in these nearby cities all the time, too:
You do. Bountiful City requires a reroof permit and inspects the sheathing, the ice barrier, and the finished roof. We pull it and handle the inspections, so you won’t have to deal with the city.
Usually wind is covered, but it comes down to your policy and your deductible. We’ll go over the whole roof, photograph what the wind did, and meet the adjuster so nothing gets left out.
Sometimes, but not if there are already two or more layers, since Bountiful doesn’t allow it. On older bench homes we’d usually recommend tearing off anyway, so we can see and fix the decking underneath.
All the time. Steep lots, wind, and fire risk are just part of roofing up there, and we plan the job around them.
