How much does a roof replacement cost in Northern Utah?

A full asphalt-shingle roof replacement in the Ogden and Weber County area typically runs $12,000–$30,000, depending on your roof's size, pitch, the material you choose, and whether the old roof needs a tear-off. After a free inspection, we hand you an exact written price, not a ballpark that changes later.

Repair or replace?

Four signs it's a replacement, not a repair

Past 25 years old

Most architectural asphalt roofs last 20 to 30 years. Near the end of that range, a replacement beats paying for repair after repair.

Wind or hail damage

Torn or creased shingles, granules in the gutters, or a leak after a storm. We'll document it and tell you straight.

Leaks or daylight in the attic

That usually means the system is failing, not one bad shingle. Spreading water stains say the same thing.

Selling soon

A new roof is one of the highest-return upgrades before a sale. And our warranty transfers to the buyer.

Your options

Your one chance in 25 years to change materials

Most Northern Utah homes land on one of these. Worth a look before you default to whatever is up there now.

Architectural asphalt

Lasts 20 to 30 years

Strong wind ratings, the lowest cost of anything we install, and every color you could want.

Best for: most homes here, and most budgets.

Best for: the house you plan to stay in.

If you go asphalt

Good, better, best, and the one we skip

Here's how the tiers differ. We install GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, Atlas, TAMKO, and IKO, and the brand matters less than the tier you choose.

Architectural

What most homes here get. Thicker and layered, with wind ratings of 110 to 130 mph on many lines.

Designer

Worth it on the right house, unnecessary on plenty of others. The heaviest asphalt shingles, shaped to look like slate or cedar shake.

Class 4 impact-resistant

Built for hail, and many insurers discount for it. Rubberized asphalt that takes a strike without cracking. How Class 4 works →

3-tab

The one we skip. The old builder-grade shingle: 15 to 20 years and the least wind resistance. We start at architectural instead.

Not sure which tier fits? That's part of the free inspection. We look at your roof, your budget, and how long you plan to stay, then show you what each tier actually gets you. You decide.

The Compass Roof Plan

Four steps, and most roofs take 1 to 2 days

1

Free inspection

We get on your roof, document its condition with photos, and tell you honestly whether it needs replacing.

2

Written estimate

A clear, itemized price the same day. The price you'll actually pay, in writing.

3

Tear-off & install

We strip the old roof, inspect the decking, and install the full system while protecting your property.

4

Cleanup & walkthrough

We magnet-sweep the yard and driveway for nails, haul the debris, and walk you around the house to go over the finished roof. Then your warranty kicks in.

More than shingles

What you're actually paying for

A roof is a stack of layers that only works if they all go on together. The shingles are just the part you can see.

12 34 56

The layers of a full roof system, in the order they go on.

  1. Decking. The old roof comes off to the wood. We walk the deck and flag anything soft before the new roof goes on, and the first four bad sheets are replaced at no charge.
  2. Ice & water shield. A self-sealing membrane at the eaves and valleys. Utah's freeze-thaw winters push meltwater back up under shingles, so code requires it here.
  3. Synthetic underlayment. The water barrier over the rest of the deck. Tougher than old felt paper.
  4. Starter strip. A sealed first course along the edges, so canyon wind can't get underneath and peel the roof up.
  5. Shingles. Laid straight and nailed to spec. Sloppy nailing is the fastest way to void a wind warranty.
  6. Ridge cap. Purpose-made caps over the ridges and hips, the high points that take the worst of every storm.

Plus ventilation sized to code, flashing work at the chimneys, walls, and pipes, and a magnet sweep of your yard before we leave.

All of it installed as one system, on one job. That's the work our written 10-year warranty stands behind.

Our work

What a clean replacement looks like

The parts you can't see from the street decide whether a roof lasts. New shingles laid straight across every plane, ridge lines set, nailing to spec underneath all of it.

Every job ends the same way: straight lines, a magnet-swept yard, and a walk around the house with you to go over the finished roof.

You pay nothing until it's complete

Most roofers ask for a deposit or push financing before the first shingle comes off. We don't. You owe nothing until the job's finished and you're satisfied, so the risk stays on us.

A written 10-year transferable warranty

If our workmanship ever causes a leak, we fix it. No pro-rated math, no fine print. And it transfers to the next owner if you sell, which adds real resale value.

Roof replacement FAQ

Straight answers

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most single-family homes take 1–2 days of install once materials are on site. A large, steep, or cut-up roof takes longer. Your written estimate includes the expected timeline, and we'll tell you if weather moves it.

Will you tear off the old roof or go over it?

We tear off in almost every case. Utah code allows up to 2 layers of shingles, but a layover hides decking problems and shortens the new roof's life. A full tear-off is also the install our written 10-year workmanship warranty stands behind.

What if the decking underneath is rotted?

On an older roof it's common to find a sheet or two of soft decking. We replace up to four sheets at no charge, which covers the vast majority of normal decking problems. If yours needs more than that, we photograph every bad sheet and put the added cost in writing before we replace it. You approve it first, and nothing gets buried in the final bill.

Would a repair make more sense than replacing?

Sometimes, yes. If your roof is under about 15 years old and the trouble is in one spot, like a few torn shingles or a failed pipe boot, a $500–$2,500 repair usually beats a $12,000+ replacement. The inspection is free either way, and we'll tell you straight, even when the small job is the honest answer.

Do you handle storm or insurance replacements?

Yes. We document the damage with photos, meet your adjuster on the roof, and put the documentation together. Two things never change: your insurer decides what's covered, not us, and you pay your deductible in full. A roofer who offers to eat the deductible is offering insurance fraud.

What roofing materials do you install?

Architectural asphalt fits most homes here. We also install standing-seam metal, synthetic and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, plus tile, slate, and flat roofs in TPO or modified bitumen. Compare them all → or see what each one costs →
