Dedication Roofing serves Sandy from an office at 6452 W Kings Estate Dr in West Valley City, about twenty minutes away, and has worked across the Salt Lake Valley since 2017. Residential shingle replacement, flat and low-slope commercial roofs, emergency leak repair, and fascia, soffit and siding.
Sandy is not one roofing environment. Homes on the east bench sit higher than the valley floor and take heavier snow accumulation and stronger down-canyon winds, while properties on the west side of the city behave much like the rest of the valley. The specification that suits one does not automatically suit the other.
Ice dams are a ventilation failure before they are a roofing failure. Warm air escaping into the attic melts snow on the upper slope, the meltwater runs down to the cold eave and refreezes, and the ridge of ice that forms holds the next round of water against the roof until it finds a way under the shingles.
Two code requirements address it, and both get missed. Utah residential code requires an ice barrier running from the eave edge to a point at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line, because that is where the heated envelope ends and the cold overhang begins. Salt Lake County sits in Climate Zone 5B, so this is not optional detailing here.
The second is ventilation. Code requires net free ventilating area of 1/150 of the vented space, reduced to 1/300 where at least 40 percent and not more than 50 percent of that area sits in the upper portion of the attic, with those upper ventilators no more than 3 feet below the ridge. That upper-and-lower split is the whole mechanism: exhaust high, intake low, and the attic stays close to outside temperature. Ridge vent installed over blocked or solid soffit does not achieve it and actively makes the attic wetter.
Dedication Roofing inspects intake and exhaust as part of a roof evaluation rather than treating ventilation as a separate trade.
Certification is not a badge. It changes what warranty the manufacturer will write.
On shingles, Malarkey’s limited wind warranty is 110 mph as standard and rises to 130 mph only when the shingles are installed alongside other Malarkey components: starter course, ridge cap and underlayment. The manufacturer’s instructions also require approved corrosion-resistant nails, do not permit staples, and call for a double layer of underlayment on slopes between 2:12 and 4:12. Installation is what the warranty is written against, which is why a cheaper quote often turns out to be a different roof.
On flat and low-slope roofs, Dedication Roofing is an IB (Industry’s Best) certified applicator for commercial roof systems. Installed to manufacturer specification, that qualifies a building for a 25-Year No Dollar Limit warranty: the manufacturer covers labor and materials on a covered defect with no dollar ceiling tied to the original material cost, and backs the roof rather than the installer alone.
BBB A+ accredited, working in the Salt Lake Valley since 2017.
Fascia is the board at the roof edge that the gutter hangs on. Soffit is the panel underneath the overhang. On a Sandy home they usually fail before the roof does, because they take the water the roof sheds and the gutter overflows, and because rot travels inward along the rafter tails where nobody is looking.
Dedication Roofing repairs and replaces fascia, vented soffit and siding across Sandy. On most single-family homes, fascia and soffit together are a one to two day job assuming no structural rot behind the board. Rafter tail repair adds time, and it is the variable that most often changes a quote.
Vented soffit is also the intake half of the ventilation system described above. Replacing rotted soffit with solid panel, which happens more often than it should, removes the intake and leaves the ridge vent pulling air out of the house instead of out of the attic.
What clients say
Common questions
Yes — Dedication Roofing provides free, no-obligation inspections and estimates in Sandy, for homes and commercial buildings. You get a written estimate plus photos of what we found on the roof, so you can compare other quotes against the same information.
Dedication Roofing is based in West Valley City, about twenty minutes from Sandy, and prioritizes active leaks. We’ll tarp or temporarily seal the roof to stop water getting in, then schedule the permanent repair once conditions allow.
Yes — Dedication Roofing pulls the permits Sandy City requires for roofing work, so you’re not filing anything. Permit and inspection timing is built into the schedule we quote, which means no surprise delays once work starts.
Dedication Roofing holds IB (Industry’s Best) certification for commercial roof systems and Malarkey certification for residential asphalt shingles. Both require installation to manufacturer specification, which is what makes the extended warranties available.
Elevation changes the demands. Homes on Sandy’s east bench take heavier snow loads and stronger down-canyon winds than the valley floor, so we specify impact-resistant Malarkey shingles and pay particular attention to ice-dam protection at eaves and valleys.
On IB membrane flat roofs, Dedication Roofing’s IB certification qualifies the company for 25-Year No Dollar Limit (NDL) warranties — the manufacturer backs the roof, with no dollar cap on a covered claim. Shingle roofs carry the manufacturer’s warranty for the system installed.
