The Residential Roofing Process -
What You Need to Know
Whether you are building a new home, replacing an old roof, or simply needing repairs, understanding how professionals operate can help you make the right choice. Many people try to do their roofing projects on their own, which works for some homeowners. However, if you lack experience or simply want to know you have a higher quality job, consider hiring a professional residential contractor such as Far West Roofing.
1. Determine Your Needs
We at Far West treat our customers as our friends. We love helping our friends stay protected with high quality roofs and we want to make sure we are doing what is best for you and your home.
We will consult with you to make sure we understand your needs and can give you a free, no obligation, individualized quote for your project. If you have a roofing problem and aren’t sure what to do, we have experts on our team who can provide an in-depth inspection and help you get the right repairs.
2. Free Consultation and Quote
Pricing varies based on the size of the roof, the type of project (new install, minor repairs or full roof replacement), and unique specifications. Depending on the project’s scope, costs can fluctuate.
Because we want to work with our customers’ individual needs, we offer free, no-obligation consultations to determine how we can give you the best deal possible. We believe we have the best pricing and quality work in the Salt Lake area and are willing to work with your budget.
3. Start The Work!
Roof installation and replacement for residential projects generally can be completed within a few days, provided the weather is clear. Some of the basic steps include:
- Tear off the old roof – if doing a roof replacement.
- Installing drip edge – helps prevent shingles from curling.
- Underlayment – an important layer that helps protect your roof from leaks.
- Outer roof covering – usually in the form of shingles (starter and outer).
- Cap the ridge – the curved shingles that go along the ridgeline.
4. Warranties and Future Maintenance
After your roofing project is complete, you are set with a beautiful new roof! Because we value our customer relationships, we offer 5-year warranties on all our installations and want you to know you have that protection against future problems.
We take pride in our workmanship. We also can help with roof inspections down the road if you ever have a problem or want to make sure your roof is properly maintained. Give us a call and we are very happy to help you!

Why Choose a Professional for Your Home Roof Project?
Some people prefer to do their home roof installation on their own. This works if you’re experienced in roofing and have the needed skills. However, if you lack experience, choosing to do your roof on your own can end up costing you much more time and money in the long run. Here are a few reasons why choosing a professional is a good idea:
Safety and Experience
Too often we hear sad stories of inexperienced roofers who neglect simple safety practices and an accident happens. A professional roofing company has strict safety measures in place.
Technical Mistakes
Making simple mistakes in replacement can cause leaks and make your effort wasted. Installing flashing correctly, ensuring waterproofing, or sealing nails properly make a big difference.
Warranties and Insurance
Individual contractors or self installations don’t come with a warranty. Professional residential roofers carry insurance on their work, and our warranty gives you robust added protection.
