"The right roof is not a ranking. It's a match: my house, Utah's weather, and how long I plan to live under it."
Once you've decided to replace, the question becomes which roof. Shingles, metal, stone-coated steel, and membrane compared honestly for Utah's sun, wind, and snow, including the low-slope situations where the wrong material guarantees a leak.
In Utah's sun and weather, stone-coated steel is a true 50-year roof, metal runs two lifetimes of asphalt, and shingles last about 20 years if you're lucky. Asphalt quality is also not what it used to be, which changes the math.
Explore cluster →Metal earns its price in Utah: roughly two asphalt lifespans for under twice the cost, installable year-round, and it keeps attics cooler, not hotter. The fastener type you choose decides whether it's maintenance-free or a re-screw job every few years.
Explore cluster →Shingles shed water; they do not waterproof. Below a 2:12 pitch, code and every shingle manufacturer say membrane. A lot of leaking 'flat' roofs are just the wrong material installed by someone who didn't know better.
Explore cluster →Utah's specific physics: funnel winds, freeze-thaw, snow loads, arid-climate condensation, intense UV, and the state's new wildfire roofing codes. What each season does to your roof, why most Utah attics fail a ventilation standard homeowners have never heard of, and the codes that decide whether your warranty survives.
The work most roofers shouldn't touch: skylights that don't leak, snow retention that's actually engineered, and the gutter-guard question everyone asks. What specialized work really requires, and how to tell who's qualified to do it.
We're here to see what's going on with your roof. A real assessment starts with your history and your attic, not a number from the driveway. You'll get a straight answer about what's up there, what it needs, and what it costs. Sometimes the honest answer is: your roof looks great.
