Exploring Your Metal Roofing Options

Metal roofing has evolved far beyond the old corrugated tin sheds. Today’s options are sophisticated, stylish, and incredibly high-performing, available in various materials and profiles.

• Standing Seam Metal Roofing: This is the premier choice for residential metal roofing. It features vertical panels of high-quality steel (often 24-gauge or 26-gauge Galvalume) with concealed fasteners, creating clean, sharp lines and a highly weather-tight system. The raised seams prevent water from penetrating, making it exceptionally effective at shedding snow and rain.
• Corrugated Metal Roofing: This more traditional style features exposed fasteners and a classic wavy pattern. It’s a durable and cost-effective metal option, often used for rustic or agricultural-style buildings, sheds, and accent roofs.
• Metal Shingles, Shakes & Tiles: For homeowners who love the look of traditional shingles or tiles but want the durability of metal, these systems are a perfect choice. They are designed to mimic the look of asphalt, slate, or tile while providing the superior strength and longevity of steel or aluminum.
• Material & Finish Options: We offer panels with premium finishes like Kynar 500®, which provide exceptional resistance to fading and chalking from Utah’s intense UV exposure, ensuring your roof’s color stays vibrant for decades.

Why Choose a Metal Roof for Your Utah Home?

A metal roof is a significant investment, but it comes with a powerful set of benefits that are perfectly suited for Utah homeowners.

• Unmatched Longevity: A professionally installed metal roof can last 50 to 70 years or more—two to three times longer than a standard asphalt shingle roof. It’s a permanent roofing solution.
• Extreme Durability & Weather Resistance: Metal roofs can withstand wind gusts of over 140 mph, will not crack or corrode, and are highly resistant to impact from hail (many have a Class 4 impact rating).
• Superior Snow Shedding: The smooth, hard surface of a metal roof allows snow to slide off easily. This prevents the buildup of heavy loads that can stress your home’s structure and significantly reduces the risk of ice dams.
• Fire Resistant: Metal roofs have a Class A fire rating, the highest possible. This is a critical safety feature, especially for homes in mountainous or wildfire-prone areas.
• Energy Efficiency: Many metal roofing products are considered “cool roofs.” They are finished with special coatings that reflect solar heat, which can help keep your home cooler in the summer and reduce your energy bills by up to 25%.
• Low Maintenance: Metal roofs require very little maintenance over their exceptionally long lifespan, saving you money on repairs and upkeep.

Essential Add-Ons for Utah Metal Roofs: Snow Guards

A key consideration for metal roofs in Utah is managing snow. Because they shed snow so effectively, a large sheet of snow and ice can slide off all at once, posing a danger to people and property below.

• Metal Roof Snow Guards: We strongly recommend and install snow guards (also known as snow retention systems) on all our metal roof projects. These small but strong devices are installed in rows across the roof to hold snow in place, allowing it to melt gradually or break off in small, harmless pieces. This is an essential safety feature for protecting walkways, driveways, and landscaping.

Frequently Asked Questions About Metal Roofing

Are metal roofs noisy in the rain or hail?

This is a common myth. When installed over a solid roof deck with proper underlayment and attic insulation, a metal roof is no noisier than an asphalt shingle roof.

Is a metal roof too heavy for my house?

No, in fact, metal roofing is significantly lighter than most other roofing materials. It is often 50% lighter than asphalt shingles and 75% lighter than tile or slate, putting less stress on your home’s structure.

Can you install a metal roof over my existing shingles?

While possible in some cases, we generally recommend a full tear-off of the old shingles. This allows us to inspect the roof deck for any rot or damage and ensure your new metal roof has a solid, flat foundation, which is critical for a proper installation.

What is the cost of a metal roof in Utah?

A metal roof has a higher upfront cost than an asphalt shingle roof. However, because it can last a lifetime, it often has a lower overall lifecycle cost, as you will likely never have to replace it again. The exact cost depends on the style of metal (standing seam is a premium option), gauge, and the complexity of your roof.
