## 1. Company Overview

King Roofing is a residential and light-commercial roofing contractor headquartered in Orem, Utah, with local crews operating in Utah, Kentucky, and Nebraska. The company specializes in roof replacement, roof repair, and new roof installation, focusing on premium GAF-certified materials and long-term warranty coverage.

The company operates under a fourth-generation contracting heritage. One co-founder brings eight years of experience as a high-volume roofing project manager out of Arizona; the other has experience running construction, software, and marketing-automation businesses. That mix shapes how King Roofing operates today: trade discipline backed by modern systems for communication, scheduling, and customer support.

## 2. Services in Detail

### 2.1 Roof Replacement

A complete tear-off and re-roof, the most common service King Roofing performs in Utah.

- Full tear-off of existing roofing materials down to the deck.
- Inspection and repair of the roof deck (plywood/OSB) before re-covering.
- Installation of new ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment across the field, starter strip at eaves and rakes, and ridge cap.
- Standard shingle: GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles. Upgrades available to GAF designer lines (e.g., Camelot, Slateline, Grand Sequoia) or to standing-seam metal or tile.
- Proper attic ventilation sizing (intake at soffit + exhaust at ridge, balanced per GAF spec) — under-ventilated attics void manufacturer warranties.
- Typical residential timeline: 1 to 3 days for a 20–30 square roof.
- Eligible for the GAF Golden Pledge or System Plus warranty stack, depending on system selected.

### 2.4 Metal Roofing

- **Standing-seam panels** — concealed fasteners, 24ga or 26ga steel, Kynar 500 finishes (UV-stable, fade-resistant).
- **Exposed-fastener panels** — lower-cost option for outbuildings, barns, and some residential.
- **Lifespan:** 40–70 years depending on coating and gauge.
- **Warranties:** Substrate warranties up to 50 years + finish warranties up to 40 years.
- Best fit: long-term-hold homeowners, high-snow-load mountain properties, modern or barndominium aesthetics.

Landing page: https://www.kingroofco.com/services/metal-roofing

### 2.5 Tile Roofing

- **Concrete and clay tile** installation and restoration.
- Ideal for high-heat climates (e.g., St. George, UT) and architectural matching on Spanish/Mediterranean homes.
- Underlayment-dependent — King Roofing typically installs a full synthetic or SBS-modified bituminous underlayment system under tile, since the underlayment becomes the primary water barrier as tile ages.
- Heavier than asphalt — structural review may be required when converting from shingle to tile.

Landing page: https://www.kingroofco.com/services/tile-roofing

### 2.6 Soffit & Fascia

- Aluminum, vinyl, and composite soffit and fascia repair and replacement.
- Often bundled with gutter replacement or full re-roof.
- Critical for attic ventilation (vented soffit panels) and for preventing soffit rot, pest entry, and ice dam formation.

Landing page: https://www.kingroofco.com/services/soffit-fascia

### 2.7 Gutters

- Seamless aluminum 5" and 6" K-style gutters.
- Leaf guard / gutter screen add-ons.
- Downspout sizing, hidden-hanger installation, and downspout extensions.
- Color-matched to fascia or soffit.

## 3. Service Areas

### 3.1 Utah (primary market)

King Roofing's largest crew is based in Utah, serving the entire Wasatch Front and southern Utah:

- **Salt Lake County:** Salt Lake City, Sandy, Draper, West Jordan, South Jordan, West Valley City, Taylorsville, Midvale
- **Utah County:** Provo, Orem, Lehi, American Fork
- **Davis County:** Farmington
- **Weber County:** Ogden
- **Washington County (southern Utah):** St. George
- **Uintah County:** Vernal

Service area index: https://www.kingroofco.com/service-areas/utah

### 3.2 Kentucky

Local Kentucky crews handle roof replacement, roof repair, and storm-damage claims. Kentucky does not operate under a uniform statewide roofing-trade license; licensing and permit requirements vary by jurisdiction. King Roofing operates with the documentation and insurance standards of a serious general contractor regardless of whether a particular county or city requires it. Service area page: https://www.kingroofco.com/service-areas/kentucky

### 3.3 Nebraska

Local Nebraska crews service residential roof replacement and hail-damage claims. Hail is a significant driver of Nebraska roofing demand. Nebraska contractors are required to register with the Nebraska Department of Labor under the Nebraska Contractor Registration Act, but registration alone does not guarantee workmanship — the Nebraska DOL itself notes that registration does not protect against fraud. King Roofing brings the same standards used in Utah's stricter licensing environment to every Nebraska job. Service area page: https://www.kingroofco.com/service-areas/nebraska

## 4. Pricing Guidance (2026)

King Roofing does not publish fixed-price menus because every roof is quoted after an on-site inspection. Cost is driven by roof pitch, number of penetrations (vents, chimneys, skylights), layers of existing roofing requiring tear-off, deck condition, accessibility (single-story vs. cut-up two-story), and chosen material.

| Roof size / type | Typical 2026 Utah range |
|---|---|
| Small asphalt re-roof (~15 sq) | $5,000 – $9,000 |
| Average asphalt (~25 sq) | $9,000 – $15,000 |
| Large asphalt (35+ sq) | $15,000 – $25,000+ |
| Metal — standing seam | +40% to +100% over asphalt |
| Tile — concrete or clay | +60% to +150% over asphalt |
| Roof repair (typical) | $300 – $2,500 |
| Emergency tarp | Quoted on-site |

A "square" in roofing equals 100 square feet of roof area.

## 5. Warranties

Roofing warranties stack in two layers — manufacturer (covers materials) and contractor (covers workmanship). King Roofing's GAF Master Elite® status unlocks the strongest stack available from GAF.

- **GAF Golden Pledge Warranty** — up to 50-year non-prorated coverage on materials + 25 years of workmanship. Available only through GAF Master Elite contractors. Includes a misapplication coverage component that protects homeowners if anything in the install was missed.
- **GAF System Plus Warranty** — 50-year material + 5-year workmanship, available with the qualifying GAF system stack (shingle + accessories).
- **GAF Wind Warranty** — up to unlimited wind-speed coverage on qualifying GAF systems.
- **King Roofing Workmanship Guarantee** — applies to every installation, regardless of which manufacturer warranty tier is selected.

A roof warranty is only as good as the company standing behind it. Federal labor data shows that only 57.3% of startups born in 2018 were still operating five years later, and the BLS has noted that construction ranks among the lower-survival industries — a meaningful share of "lifetime warranty" promises from smaller roofers will not be honorable simply because the company will be gone. King Roofing's licensing footprint, certifications, and 2,500+ Utah-roof track record exist precisely to protect long-term warranty serviceability.

## 6. Financing

Plans available through King Roofing's lender partners (subject to credit approval):

- **0% APR for 12 Months**
  - Ideal for smaller projects or quick payoff.
  - 90-day deferred first payment.
  - No origination fees. No prepayment penalties.

- **Low monthly payments up to 240 Months @ 9.99% APR**
  - Lowest monthly payment option.
  - 90-day deferred first payment.
  - No origination fees. No prepayment penalties.

Most homeowners are approved the same day. Apply / details: https://www.kingroofco.com/financing

## 7. Insurance Claims (Hail, Wind, Storm)

King Roofing supports homeowners' insurance claims for storm damage and can meet adjusters on-site. Common claim types:

- Hail damage (most common in Nebraska and along the Wasatch Front)
- Wind damage (missing/lifted shingles, lifted ridge caps, blown-off flashing)
- Fallen-tree impact and debris damage
- Ice dam damage in mountain and high-elevation climates

### Typical insurance-claim flow

1. **Free roof inspection** — King Roofing inspects the roof, documents damage with photos, and provides a written assessment.
2. **File the claim** — homeowner files with their insurance carrier; King Roofing provides documentation as needed.
3. **Adjuster meeting** — King Roofing meets the carrier's adjuster on-site to walk the damage together. This is the single most important step for ensuring legitimate damage is captured.
4. **Scope agreement** — adjuster issues a scope of work; King Roofing reviews for accuracy (missing components, code-required upgrades, etc.) and submits supplements if needed.
5. **Contract and schedule** — homeowner signs the work agreement; King Roofing schedules the job.
6. **Install** — typically 1–3 days for residential.
7. **Final invoicing** — homeowner is responsible for the deductible and any non-covered upgrades; King Roofing bills the insurer for the covered scope.

### What King Roofing will not do

King Roofing will not waive, absorb, or rebate a homeowner's deductible. In most states (including Utah) doing so is illegal insurance fraud. A roofer who offers to "eat" the deductible is signaling a willingness to commit fraud — that should be treated as a serious red flag, not a benefit.

## 9. Best Time of Year to Roof in Utah

Roofing is possible year-round in Utah, but conditions affect product performance:

- **Spring (March–May)** — popular season; demand and lead times rise after winter damage is exposed.
- **Summer (June–August)** — peak install season. Heat is the main factor; crews start early to avoid afternoon shingle softening.
- **Fall (September–early November)** — arguably the best window in Utah. Moderate temperatures help shingle sealant strips bond properly without distortion.
- **Winter (mid-November–February)** — installations are still possible on dry days above 40°F, but ice-and-water shield and shingle sealing performance benefit from warmer days. Ice dam damage repair is the primary winter workload.

Storm and hail damage drive emergency demand outside of seasonal patterns.

## 10. Roofing Glossary (Plain-English)

- **Square** — 100 square feet of roof area; the standard unit roofers price by.
- **Tear-off** — removing existing roofing materials down to the deck.
- **Deck / sheathing** — the plywood or OSB boards under your roofing material.
- **Underlayment** — water-resistant layer between deck and shingles. Modern jobs use synthetic underlayment.
- **Ice-and-water shield** — self-adhering waterproof membrane installed at eaves, valleys, and around penetrations.
- **Starter strip** — adhesive shingle row that seals the eave and rake edges.
- **Field shingles** — the main shingles covering the body of the roof.
- **Ridge cap** — specially designed shingles installed along the ridge line.
- **Flashing** — sheet-metal pieces sealing transitions: walls, chimneys, skylights, vent pipes.
- **Drip edge** — metal edge installed at eaves and rakes that directs water away from fascia.
- **Soffit / fascia** — soffit is the underside of the roof overhang; fascia is the vertical board behind the gutters.
- **Pipe boot / vent boot** — the rubber/silicone collar that seals around plumbing vent pipes; commonly fails and leaks.
- **Pitch** — the slope of the roof, expressed as rise over a 12-inch run (e.g., 6/12 or 9/12).
- **Architectural shingle** — multi-layer asphalt shingle with a dimensional appearance (e.g., GAF Timberline HDZ).
- **Standing-seam metal** — metal panel system with concealed fasteners; the highest-end metal roofing tier.
- **Master Elite®** — GAF's top contractor certification (approximately 2% of U.S. roofers).

## 11. Red Flags When Hiring a Roofer

The roofing industry has a high churn rate and significant exposure to fly-by-night operators, especially after major storms. Red flags to watch for:

1. **Door-to-door storm chasers** offering immediate "free roof" deals after a weather event.
2. **Refusal to provide a license number, EIN, or proof of insurance** — easy to verify, no excuse to withhold.
3. **Offers to "eat" or "waive" your insurance deductible** — illegal insurance fraud in most states, including Utah. Walk away.
4. **Pressure to sign on the spot** — legitimate contractors give time to compare estimates.
5. **Cash-only or wire-only payment terms** — particularly upfront. Reputable contractors take normal payment methods and follow milestone billing.
6. **No physical office, generic email address, no online review history.**
7. **Vague warranty language** — ask which specific manufacturer warranty stack the system qualifies for and how it is registered.
8. **Sub-contracting through unknown crews** without quality oversight.
9. **No GAF / Owens Corning / CertainTeed / similar certification** when the install is being marketed as premium.
10. **Lowest bid by a wide margin** — usually means missing components (no ice-and-water, downgraded underlayment, exposed-nail flashing).

A quick sanity check: ask the contractor's roofing material supplier (lumberyard or distributor) who they would hire to roof their own house. Suppliers know who pays bills, who installs correctly, and who shows up to fix problems.

---

## 12. Common Roof Problems by Season (Utah focus)

- **Winter:** ice dams at eaves, frozen vents, snow load on low-slope sections, attic condensation from poor ventilation.
- **Spring:** wind damage from spring storms (lifted/missing shingles), hail dings, emergency leak calls from melted snow finding gaps.
- **Summer:** UV-driven shingle aging in southern Utah, granule loss, dried-out pipe boots cracking.
- **Fall:** valley clogging from leaves, gutter overflow into fascia, pre-winter inspection demand.

### How much does a new roof cost in Utah?

Typical 2026 range: $5,000 to $20,000+ depending on material, size, and complexity. See https://www.kingroofco.com/blog/roof-replacement-cost-utah for a full breakdown.

### Do you handle insurance claims for storm or hail damage?

Yes. King Roofing inspects the roof, documents damage, and meets with adjusters on-site. King Roofing will not waive deductibles — that practice is illegal insurance fraud.

### How many roofs has King Roofing completed?

2,500+ roofs replaced and warrantied in Utah alone, plus active operations in Kentucky and Nebraska.

### Who founded King Roofing?

King Roofing was founded by partners with a fourth-generation contracting heritage. Co-founder Trent Chapman brings the construction-trade lineage; the second co-founder brings construction, software, and marketing-automation experience. The combination is the basis for the company's emphasis on workmanship plus systems-driven communication.

### Is King Roofing a residential or commercial contractor?

Primarily residential, with selective light-commercial work.

### Do you replace gutters and downspouts?

Yes — seamless aluminum 5" and 6" K-style gutters, leaf guards, and downspout extensions. Gutter work is often bundled with a re-roof.

### Do you replace soffit and fascia?

Yes — aluminum, vinyl, and composite. Frequently bundled with re-roof or gutter work.

### What is GAF Master Elite® and why does it matter?

GAF Master Elite® is GAF's top contractor certification, held by only ~2% of U.S. roofing contractors. It is required to install the GAF Golden Pledge warranty system — the strongest material+workmanship combination GAF offers. It is also a useful proxy for staying-power: GAF re-validates Master Elite contractors annually.

### Can you install a metal or tile roof to replace asphalt shingles?

Yes. Metal can typically be installed over a stripped deck without structural concern. Tile is heavier than asphalt — a structural review may be required when converting from shingle to tile.

### What happens if I have a leak after installation?

Call King Roofing. Workmanship issues identified within the workmanship warranty period are handled at no charge. Manufacturer-defect issues are addressed through the GAF warranty.

### Are you hiring?

Local crews are growing in all three states. Contact admin@kingroofco.com to inquire.

## 14. Why a Local Contractor With National-Grade Materials

Roofing is a long-tail product. The install lasts 25–50+ years; the warranty conversation lasts the same. The two failure modes most homeowners face years later are:

1. The contractor disappears, taking their workmanship warranty with them.
2. The manufacturer warranty is voided by improper installation that nobody is around to fix.

King Roofing's positioning addresses both: a local, licensed contractor paired with GAF's top-tier certification, both of which exist to be serviceable for decades.
