Metal Roofing in Salt Lake City
The right roof for a steep bench lot, a heavy snow load, or a home you plan to keep for good.
Metal Roofing in Salt Lake City
Metal costs more than asphalt up front and pays it back over decades. A good standing seam roof lasts 40 to 70 years against 18 to 25 for asphalt shingles, so most homeowners buy one metal roof instead of three shingle roofs. In Utah it earns its keep in three specific ways: snow slides off it instead of building into an ice dam, the panels are fastened through concealed clips that wind cannot lift the way it lifts shingle tabs, and it does not burn.
That last point matters on the bench and in the canyon mouths, where homes sit against dry foothill grass. Roof Repair SLC installs and repairs standing seam, corrugated, and stone-coated steel, and we will tell you honestly when asphalt is the better value for your house and how long you plan to stay in it.
When Metal Is the Right Choice
- Your roof is on a steep bench or canyon lot that loads up with snow every winter
- Ice dams keep coming back no matter what you do to the attic
- You are on your third shingle roof and tired of the cycle
- The home sits near dry foothill grass and fire resistance matters
- You want a roof that outlasts your time in the house and adds resale value
- A low-slope or flat section needs something shingles were never meant to do

Frequently Asked Questions
How much more does a metal roof cost?
Roughly two to three times asphalt up front. Over 50 years it usually costs less, because you are not paying for two or three shingle replacements. We give you both numbers so you can decide.
Is a metal roof loud in rain or hail?
Not on a house. The noise people remember comes from bare metal over an open barn. Over solid decking and underlayment, with insulation below, it is about the same as asphalt.
Will it dent in a hail storm?
Steel in the gauges we install resists the hail Utah actually gets. Very large stones can dimple any metal, but unlike asphalt the roof does not lose its waterproof layer.
Does metal really stop ice dams?
It sheds snow far better, so dams form much less often. It is not a cure for a badly insulated attic, and we will say so if that is the real problem.
