Roof Repair, Restoration and Replacement in West Valley City, Utah
West Valley City is one of Utah’s largest cities, with a big stock of 1970s and 1980s homes. This is a service area, not an office.
A big city with a middle-aged housing stock
The ACS (2020–2024) counts about 138,437 people and 41,433 housing units in West Valley City, on 35.8 square miles of land. The median home was built in 1985. By our arithmetic from table B25034, about 42% of units predate 1980 and about 24% were built since 2000. About 72% of occupied homes are owner-occupied.
Wind and quake on the west side
NOAA’s Storm Events database recorded a historic east wind event in the Salt Lake Valley on September 8, 2020, with a peak gust of 77 mph at the Salt Lake City airport. The March 18, 2020 earthquake centered near Magna, just west of the city, caused fallen chimneys, according to the University of Utah Seismograph Stations. The Salt Lake City airport station (NOAA 1991–2020 normals) is a rough guide for the valley floor: about 15.5 inches of precipitation, 51.9 inches of snow, lows at or below 32°F on about 112 days, and about 62 days a year at 90°F or more.
What West Valley City publishes
West Valley City’s design criteria (effective April 18, 2026) list a 103 mph wind speed for Category II structures, seismic design category D, a 30-inch frost line and ice-shield underlayment required. Ground snow load is set by the building code (IBC Chapter 16) rather than a single printed number. On a replacement quote here, look for the ice shield.
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.
West Valley City roof FAQ
Does West Valley City require ice-shield underlayment?
Its published design criteria say ice-shield underlayment is required. Ask any roofer where it goes on your roof and make sure it is in the written proposal.
Who repairs and restores roofs in West Valley City, Utah?
The NewRoof Guys, a licensed Utah roofing contractor (license #14225732-5501) and authorized GoNano installer, serve West Valley City 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.
