Our inspection found that the roof needed localized repairs. With those repairs completed, we estimated it had another eight to ten years of useful life. By restoring the existing roof, Liberty Roofing saved the homeowner nearly $150,000.
Project Overview
- Location: Hobble Creek Canyon above Springville, Utah
- Roof: Older cedar shake
- Concern: Shakes coming loose and blowing off
- Solution: Targeted cedar shake repair and restoration
Repairing the Areas That Needed Attention
Liberty Roofing completed a thorough inspection to assess the loose shakes and the condition of the surrounding roof. The findings supported focused repairs while retaining the serviceable cedar.
The project photos show new cedar pieces along ridge and hip sections, along with localized repairs near roof details. Fresh cedar stands out against the weathered gray shakes, making the repaired areas easy to identify.
A Full Replacement Could Wait
The completed restoration gave the homeowner a practical alternative to an immediate replacement. Liberty’s estimated eight to ten years of remaining roof life also provided time to plan for that future investment.
This project shows why our roof inspection and maintenance evaluation starts with the roof’s actual condition. Here, repairing the identified problems preserved the existing roof and saved the homeowner nearly $150,000.
