Roof Repair, Restoration and Replacement in Sunset, Utah
Sunset is a small, older Davis County city. Most of its homes went up before 1980, so many roofs here are on their second or third round. This is a service area, not an office.
Small, dense and older than its neighbors
The ACS (2020–2024) counts about 5,587 people in Sunset on just 1.46 square miles of land, about 3,824 people per square mile by our arithmetic. The median home was built in 1963, and by our arithmetic from table B25034 about 89% of its 1,791 housing units predate 1980. About 65% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. That is a very different roof picture from newer neighbors like West Point and Clinton.
What that means on the roof
A house from the 1960s has usually been re-roofed at least once. On an older Sunset home we ask how many layers are on the deck, what shape the decking and flashing are in, and whether the attic vents well. Those answers decide between repair, restoration and replacement. Our post on how to tell if your roof is a rejuvenation candidate covers the restoration side.
Weather and design numbers
On September 8, 2020, a downslope east wind storm left widespread damage at schools across Weber and Davis counties, the Standard-Examiner reported. We could not find a Sunset City design-criteria sheet to quote. Neighboring West Point lists a 43 psf ground snow load and a 110 mph three-second-gust wind speed for new homes. Utah State University’s map gives the ground snow load for any address, and Sunset’s building office can confirm what applies.
Repair, restore, or replace
- Repair for flashing, pipe boots, wind-lifted shingles and other isolated damage.
- GoNano restoration may suit an aging asphalt roof that is still structurally sound. It is not right for every roof, and the inspection decides. When a roof qualifies, the warranty is up to 15 years on qualified roofs, backed by a GoNano warranty. See the GoNano FAQ. GoNano is a trademark of its owner.
- Replacement when shingles, decking or flashing have failed. See roof replacement or restoration in Utah.
If a leak starts, stay off the roof, catch the water inside, and take photos. Our guide to roof leak repair near Clearfield covers what to do first for homes in Sunset and nearby.
Sunset roof FAQ
Is an older Sunset roof a candidate for restoration?
Sometimes. If the shingles are aging but still sound, GoNano restoration may fit. If they are brittle, curled or failing, or there are too many layers, repair or replacement is the honest answer. The inspection decides.
Who repairs and restores roofs in Sunset, Utah?
The NewRoof Guys, a licensed Utah roofing contractor (license #14225732-5501) and authorized GoNano installer, serve Sunset and the rest of Utah. Every job starts with a free roof inspection.
How do I know whether to repair, restore, or replace?
Book a free inspection. We check shingles, flashing, vents, pipe boots and valleys, photograph what we find, and give you a written recommendation: repair for isolated problems, restoration for sound but aging shingles, or replacement when the roof has failed.
Is GoNano a roof coating?
No. Film-forming coatings sit on top of the shingle. The GoNano white paper describes a treatment designed to penetrate below the shingle surface. It is not a fix for a failed roof, which is why we inspect first.
What warranty comes with GoNano restoration?
Up to 15 years on qualified roofs, backed by a GoNano warranty. Coverage depends on your roof and the work done, so ask us for the written terms with your proposal.
