Pricing
What a roof replacement actually costs in Utah.
Most Utah homeowners spend somewhere between $9,000 and $22,000 on a full asphalt shingle replacement. That is a wide band because roofs are not interchangeable — size, pitch, material, layers and detail work move the number more than anything else. Below is how the price is built, so you can read any quote you get, including ours.
Typical installed price by material
Installed, tear-off included, per square foot of roof area (not floor area). These are ranges we see in the Salt Lake and Wasatch Front market — your quote depends on your roof.
| Material | Installed range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Architectural asphalt shingle | $4.50 – $8.00 / sq ft | The default for most Utah homes; 25-year warranty from us. |
| Impact-resistant (Class 4) shingle | $6.00 – $10.00 / sq ft | Hail-rated; many insurers discount the premium. |
| Standing-seam metal | $11.00 – $18.00 / sq ft | Sheds snow well, 40+ year life. |
| Concrete or clay tile | $12.00 – $22.00 / sq ft | Common on the Wasatch Front; framing has to carry the load. |
| Wood shake | $12.00 – $20.00 / sq ft | Specialty work; fire code applies in many areas. |
Example: a 2,200 sq ft single-story ranch has roughly 2,600 sq ft of roof — about $12,000–$18,000 in architectural asphalt.
What drives the price up or down
Roof size and pitch
Price is quoted per square (100 sq ft). Steeper pitches need staging and slow the crew down, so a 30-square steep roof costs more than a 30-square walkable one.
Material
Architectural asphalt is the value baseline. Standing-seam metal typically runs two to three times asphalt; concrete and clay tile depend heavily on the deck and framing underneath.
Layers and decking
Tearing off two existing layers costs more than one. Rotten or delaminated decking found during tear-off is replaced by the sheet — we show you the boards before we swap them.
Complexity
Valleys, dormers, chimneys, skylights, swamp coolers and solar all add flashing, labour and detail work.
Ventilation and code
Utah code work — ice-and-water shield at the eaves, correct intake and exhaust ventilation, permits and inspection — is part of the price of a roof that lasts.
Access and disposal
Tight lots, long carries, steep driveways and landscaping protection add time. Dumpster and disposal fees are real line items.
Insurance versus out of pocket
If a storm caused the damage
On an approved hail or wind claim you generally pay your deductible and your insurer pays the rest. Most Utah policies are replacement cost value: the insurer holds back depreciation up front and releases it once the roof is finished and invoiced. We document the damage, meet the adjuster, and submit the supplement if the first estimate misses code items. See how roof insurance claims work.
If the roof is simply worn out
Age and wear are not covered by any policy — that is a homeowner expense. If the timing is hard, our financing runs 12 months same as cash or low payments over terms up to 240 months, with a 60-second application, a soft credit pull, an instant decision and next-day funding. Compare against a targeted repair before you commit.

Roof cost questions Utah homeowners ask
- How much does a new roof cost in Utah?
- Most Utah homes fall between roughly $9,000 and $22,000 for a full asphalt shingle replacement. Small, simple, single-story roofs land at the low end; large, steep or cut-up roofs with multiple valleys, dormers and skylights land at the high end. Metal and tile cost considerably more.
- Why do quotes vary so much between roofing companies?
- Usually because they are not the same scope. Some quotes include tear-off, new underlayment, ice-and-water shield in the valleys and eaves, new flashing, ventilation and permit; others quote a shingle-over with the old flashing reused. Ask every bidder to itemise those lines and the numbers become comparable.
- Is it cheaper to repair than replace?
- Almost always in the short term. A repair makes sense when the roof still has years of life and the damage is isolated. It stops making sense when the shingles are brittle, the granules are gone, or you are patching the same roof every season.
- Do you offer financing?
- Yes — 12 months same as cash, and low monthly payments over terms up to 240 months. The application takes about 60 seconds, uses a soft credit pull, and returns an instant decision.
- Do I pay the full cost if the damage came from a storm?
- Usually not. On an approved hail or wind claim you typically pay only your deductible while your insurer covers the rest at replacement cost, less depreciation that is released when the work is finished.
