Best practices
The decisions that protect a Utah roof for 25+ years aren't on the shingle wrapper.
Do
- ✓Use ice & water shield at all eaves, valleys, and penetrations — required by Utah code on most municipalities.
- ✓Install a continuous ridge vent with intake at the soffits for balanced attic ventilation.
- ✓Match drip edge and step flashing color to fascia, not shingle.
- ✓Use a manufacturer-certified contractor (GAF Master Elite, Owens Corning Preferred) to unlock Lifetime warranty.
- ✓Coordinate shingle color with siding and stone as one exterior board, not separate purchases.
Avoid
- ✗Skipping synthetic underlayment to save $300 — this is the actual waterproof layer.
- ✗Installing over multiple existing layers — Utah snow load and ventilation issues compound.
- ✗Choosing 3-tab shingles on new construction — architectural is the modern standard.
- ✗Reusing existing flashing, valleys, or pipe boots on a re-roof.
- ✗Picking the roof color in isolation from the rest of the exterior palette.

FAQ
Roofing questions Utah homeowners ask
Direct answers about NewCo Home, our process, and the projects we deliver across Utah.
What is the most popular roof color in Utah?
Across NewCo Home installations, GAF Timberline HDZ Charcoal and Owens Corning Oakridge Onyx Black are the most-installed colors. Both read near-black from the street and pair cleanly with the warm white Hardie, mixed stone, and black windows that dominate modern Utah construction.
Should I pick Owens Corning or GAF in Utah?
Both are excellent. GAF Timberline HDZ has slightly broader color depth, LayerLock technology, and the most extensive contractor certification program in the U.S. Owens Corning Oakridge is a strong value pick for production and semi-custom homes. NewCo Home installs both as a GAF Master Elite and Owens Corning Preferred contractor.
How long does an asphalt shingle roof last in Utah?
Properly installed architectural shingles in Utah typically last 22 to 30 years, with manufacturer Lifetime limited warranties available when installed by certified contractors. Utah's UV exposure, snow load, and freeze-thaw cycles make ventilation and underlayment as important as the shingle itself.
Can I change my roof color when I re-roof?
Yes. Re-roofing is the right time to refresh your exterior. NewCo Home builds full exterior color boards so the new roof, siding, stone, and trim read as one composition rather than three separate purchases.
