Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if I need a new roof?

If your roof is over 15 years old, it is likely at or nearing the end of its life cycle and a roof inspection is recommended.

If your not sure how old your roof is below is a list of tell tell signs:

Your shingles are missing too many granules or curling, decaying or missing in areas.
Evidence of leaking in your home’s interior – ceiling tiles and dry wall showing stains from water damage
Missing or rusted and worn out roof flashing

Although you are allowed to have 2 layers of shingles it is not always a good idea depending on the shape of your existing roof. However there are times when it can save you a little money and give your roof needed protection just keep in mind that when you replace the roof next time it costs more as they will need to remove 2 layers of shingles instead of one.

Furthermore, if the old roof layer is not removed, we are unable to inspect the roof decking for water damage, rot or deterioration. This can create a much problems and lead to expensive repairs.

Should I repair or replace my roof?

If your roof is still relatively new and in good condition and the leak is small and fixed right away, a roof repair is your best option. However, if your roofing system is 15 years old or more, then having your roof replaced is most likely going to be the best choice depending on how well your roof has aged and what types of conditions it has been exposed to. When we inspect your roof we will give you an honest assessment of its conditions and go over your options.

Our Customers Recommend Our Work!

I just wanted to again express how pleased I am with Far West Roofing. We had a situation where blowing snow was coming into our attic and after water damage to our ceiling in a brand new house decided to call to get a second opinion. Doug was amazing, knowledgable, and honest! We opted to replace the turtle vents that were clearly not installed correctly or adequate for the weather in this area, even though the builder had a different opinion. Far West Roofing installed a ridge line vent system and we have had ZERO issues. Tonight with the worst wind and blowing snow than we have experienced we checked the attic - not a drop of water, not a snowflake. Thank you again for your knowledge and above all your honesty. I highly recommend Doug and Far West Roofing!

I got three bids for a roof I needed replaced. These guys were the cheapest bid so I was wary of the quality. However, after talking with some of the people who had them do work for them, I went ahead. Wow. what a great company! They did a fast and very good job. I am impressed. It is so great to find a contractor who does what they say, with minimal hassle.

Far West Roofing is a very well respected roofing company. The owners are of very high character. I would trust them with any type of roofing project you have. I had them do my rental home 2 hours from Salt Lake. They went out of their way to get it done quickly and efficiently. Their quality and service is excellent. I have and will continue to refer them to family, friends, and acquaintances. They can be trusted to take great care of you.

I have been using Far West Roofing for many years now. From small roof repairs to major roof replacement, they get it done right. Doug and his team are great to deal with and are my first call every time. With 500+ completed job for my business Far West is a name you can trust. Jason with All Pro Contractors!

We called Far West based on a recommendation from my sister and have been very pleased with the service we’ve received! They fixed the first leak around our skylight very quickly and efficiently. There is a second leak that is being stubborn and difficult to patch but every time I call the customer service has been so helpful and kind. Hoping we don’t need to have our roof fixed again in the future but if it does need fixing, I will definitely be using Far West again.

I needed my swamp cooler removed and Far West roofing made it look like it was never there. I have never had a problem with the area for three years afterward. I will do my new roof with Far West.

This project was a positive experience from start to finish. From scheduling, meeting with Doug to discussing options with him. The guys who installed the railings were wonderful. They were professional, followed through and did quality work. It looks great and really completes the home. Thanks for being so great to work with!

I needed someone to come check out an issue that was on my inspection report for the house I bought. He was on time, friendly and explained the situation to me in full detail. It turned out the work that "needed" to be done on the inspection report was purely cosmetic and would be pricey to change. There was no charge for the trip to my house or his time there. They gave me piece if mind in my first home and it cost me nothing when I was prepared to pay. Thank you!

I have worked with Far West on several projects, what stands out beyond what you would expect, is that they really think hard about doing work that will last as long as possible.
