Full-Service Roof Replacement for Salt Lake City Homes

We replace more than just shingles — we rebuild entire roofing systems to better protect your home from wind, water, heat, and snow.

Tear-Off & Re-Roofing

We start by removing all layers of the existing roofing material. This exposes the roof deck so we can evaluate for moisture, rot, or structural issues before installing the new system.

Underlayment & Ice Barrier Installation

Salt Lake winters demand proper waterproofing. We install synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield barriers around edges, valleys, and penetrations to prevent ice dams and meltwater leaks.

Custom Material Installation

We install premium roofing materials matched to your home’s style, slope, and budget. Everything is cut clean, sealed tight, and installed by certified pros.

Ventilation, Flashing & Gutter Tie-In

A high-performance roof is only as good as its ventilation and flashing. We evaluate airflow, install proper ridge and intake vents, and custom-fit flashing around chimneys, valleys, and skylights. Need gutter replacement or repair? We’ll tie it in clean.

Roofing Materials We Replace in Salt Lake City

We offer a wide range of materials because one roof type doesn’t fit all — especially in a place like Salt Lake.

Architectural Asphalt Shingles

Architectural shingles offer excellent wind and weather protection, dimensional curb appeal, and long lifespan. We install GAF, CertainTeed, and other top brands with upgraded underlayment and starter strips.

Metal Roofing (Standing-Seam, Corrugated, Exposed-Fastener)

Ideal for snow shedding and longevity, metal roofing is gaining popularity in Salt Lake homes. We offer painted steel, aluminum, and even copper options — with low-maintenance performance and strong style.

Synthetic Slate & Composite Tile

Want a high-end look without the weight or fragility? Synthetic options mimic traditional slate or tile and hold up better to hail, freeze-thaw cycles, and shifting temperatures.

Cedar & Cedar-Style Shakes

Cedar roofing brings rustic charm and natural insulation. For a more durable alternative, we install cedar-style synthetic shingles that give the same look without the high maintenance.

Flat & Low-Slope Roofing Systems

For flat or low-pitch homes and additions, we install modified bitumen, TPO, or PVC systems that resist ponding, cracking, and UV damage — essential in Salt Lake’s climate swings.

Common Questions About Roof Replacement in Salt Lake City

If you're considering a roof replacement, it's natural to have a few questions before making the call. Here are some of the most frequent things homeowners in Salt Lake ask us — answered clearly and directly.

How long does a new roof last in Salt Lake City?

A new roof in Salt Lake City typically lasts between 18 and 22 years. This depends on the materials used, local weather exposure, and proper installation — all of which are critical in our climate with snow loads and UV intensity.

What roofing materials are best for Utah weather?

The roofing materials best suited for Utah weather include asphalt architectural shingles, metal roofing, and synthetic tile or slate. These options hold up well against snow, hail, high-altitude UV exposure, and the freeze-thaw cycles common along the Wasatch Front.

How can I tell if my roof needs a full replacement?

You can tell your roof may need a full replacement if you’re seeing widespread shingle loss, leaks in multiple areas, sagging sections, or if it’s over 20 years old. We provide inspections to determine whether roof repair or replacement is the smarter move.

Is winter roof replacement possible in Salt Lake City?

Yes, winter roof replacement is absolutely possible in Salt Lake City. Our crews are trained for cold-weather installs, using methods and materials designed to perform even during snow season.

Do you help with roof insurance claims for storm damage?

Yes, we help homeowners with storm damage roof insurance claims. Our team works with adjusters, documents the damage professionally, and guides you through the process to ensure nothing gets missed.
