Re-Roofing in Utah
Restore your roof's full protection with expert re-roofing — tear-off or overlay options available.
Re-roofing is the process of installing a new roof system over or in place of your existing roof. Whether your current roof has reached the end of its lifespan, suffered extensive storm damage, or is showing signs of widespread deterioration, Shelley Construction Roofing provides expert re-roofing services that restore complete protection to your home.
As a GAF Certified Plus contractor, we offer two re-roofing approaches: complete tear-off (removing all existing materials down to the deck) or overlay installation (adding a new layer over the existing roof where code permits). Our inspectors will recommend the best approach based on your roof's current condition, local building codes, and your budget.
With over 25 years of re-roofing experience across Utah County and Salt Lake County, we've handled every roof type — from simple single-layer asphalt shingle tear-offs to complex multi-layer removals requiring deck repairs. Our crews work efficiently to minimize the time your home is exposed, typically completing most residential re-roofing projects in 1–3 days.

Re-Roofing FAQs
What is the difference between re-roofing and roof repair?
Roof repair fixes localized damage (a few shingles, a leak, flashing issues). Re-roofing replaces the entire roof system — either by overlay or complete tear-off. Re-roofing is recommended when damage is widespread or the roof has reached end of life.
Can I put a new roof over my existing shingles?
In some cases, yes. Utah building code allows one overlay layer over a single existing layer of asphalt shingles if the deck is in good condition. However, tear-off is preferred because it allows full deck inspection and typically results in a longer-lasting installation.
How much does re-roofing cost in Utah?
Re-roofing costs typically range from $8,000–$25,000+ depending on roof size, material choice, and complexity. Most residential projects fall between $12,000–$18,000. Call +1 (385) 347-0568 for a free estimate specific to your home.
How long does a re-roofing project take?
Most residential re-roofing projects are completed in 1–3 days. Larger or more complex roofs may take 3–5 days. We'll provide a specific timeline with your estimate.
Do I need to be home during re-roofing?
No, you don't need to be home during the work. We'll coordinate access and keep you updated throughout the project. We do recommend moving vehicles away from the work area.
Will my storm damage cover re-roofing?
If your roof was damaged by a covered event (hail, wind, fallen tree), storm damage typically covers replacement. Our HAAG Certified team provides documentation to move forward with repairs. Normal wear and aging are generally not covered.
