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.
Shingles, metal, and stone-coated steel compared for Utah's climate, without the sales pitch. Why shingles don't last like they used to, what designer shingles actually buy you, and which materials hold up to this state's sun.
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.
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.
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.
