Doug Applebaum | Roofing Services in Park City, UT 84098

In Park City, roof flashing lift is most often caused by the freeze-thaw cycle and thermal expansion from our intense temperature swings. Ice can get under the flashing, and repeated expansion and contraction weakens the sealant and fasteners. We fix it by carefully removing the damaged section, repairing any underlying moisture issues, and reinstalling new, high-quality flashing with proper sealing techniques designed to withstand our mountain climate.

Following high winds common in our area, look for missing or lifted shingles, granules in your gutters, or debris on the roof. Inside, check your attic for daylight coming through the roof boards or any new moisture stains. Even if shingles aren't missing, strong gusts can break the sealant tabs, making the roof vulnerable to future storms and moisture. We recommend a professional inspection after any significant wind event to catch these hidden issues early.

Proper gutters are your roof's first line of defense against our heavy snowmelt and rain. Clogged or damaged gutters can cause water to back up under the roof shingles and behind the fascia, leading to ice dams in winter and water intrusion that damages roof decking and flashing. Our gutter services ensure water is channeled safely away from your roof and foundation, which is critical for preventing the moisture-related problems that often lead to flashing failure and leaks.
