Metal Roofing
The last roof most homes will ever need.
The Service
How we approach it
Metal is the long-game roof. Standing seam panels with concealed fasteners, or metal shake with a traditional profile — both engineered for 50 to 70 years of service. In the Salt Lake Valley that performance is practical, not theoretical: snow sheds instead of accumulating into ice dams, canyon winds meet interlocked panels instead of liftable shingles, and a Class A fire-rated surface stands between your home and ember exposure near the benches.
Why it's done this way
01
50–70 year service life
A properly installed metal roof outlasts two to three asphalt roofs — often the last roof the house ever needs.
02
Snow and ice performance
Smooth panels shed snow rather than holding it, reducing both snow load and the ice-dam formation that plagues valley eaves.
03
Wind and fire resistance
Interlocked, mechanically seamed panels resist canyon-wind uplift, and metal carries a Class A fire rating.
04
Looks that fit the home
Crisp standing seam lines for modern homes, metal shake profiles for traditional ones — in a real range of finishes and colors.
What's included
System & profile consultation
Standing seam or metal shake, panel profile, gauge, and finish — chosen for your home and budget.
Complete tear-off & deck prep
Old roofing removed, decking inspected and repaired, the substrate made right.
High-temp underlayment
Synthetic underlayment rated for metal's heat and the valley's temperature swings.
Ice & water shield
Self-sealing membrane at eaves and valleys — metal sheds snow, but the membrane backstops what melts.
Concealed-fastener installation
Standing seam panels attached with hidden clips, so no exposed fasteners weather and loosen over time.
Trim, flashing & snow management
Ridge, valley, and edge detailing in matching metal, with snow guards where shedding needs control.
Final inspection & walkthrough
Seams, fasteners, and details verified, the site cleaned, and the finished roof reviewed with you.
The Process
How the work runs
Scope and price are set in a written estimate before any work begins — no surprises once the job is underway.

The systems we install
Each signature system has its own materials, lifespan, and available palette.
Common questions
Is a metal roof worth the higher upfront cost?
For many homeowners, yes — the math is lifespan. A metal roof costs more than asphalt up front but lasts two to three times as long, with less maintenance along the way. We'll lay out both numbers in the estimate so you can decide on the full picture, not just the first price.
Is metal noisy when it rains?
Not on a modern installation. Solid decking, underlayment, and attic insulation sit between the panels and your living space — over that assembly, rain on metal sounds about the same as rain on any roof.
Standing seam or metal shake — what's the difference?
Standing seam is the clean, vertical-line profile with concealed fasteners — the premium modern look. Metal shake mimics the texture of traditional shake or shingle in metal, which suits homes where the classic profile fits better. Performance is comparable; the choice is mostly architectural.
How does metal handle Utah snow and hail?
Well. Panels shed snow instead of holding it, which reduces ice-dam risk at the eaves, and we add snow guards over entries and walkways to control the release. Metal resists hail puncture better than asphalt, though severe hail can cosmetically dent panels — something insurance policies treat differently, and worth reviewing on yours.
Can a metal roof go over my existing shingles?
It's sometimes done, but we recommend tear-off. Removing the old roof lets us inspect and repair the deck, install the right underlayment, and start the 50-plus-year system on a sound foundation — covering up an unknown deck undermines the whole point of buying longevity.
