Metal Roofing in Utah

A metal roof suits Utah because snow slides off it instead of sitting on it, which matters enormously on the benches and in the canyons. Metal does not lift the way shingles do in canyon wind, it reflects summer heat instead of absorbing it, and a good metal roof will outlast two or three asphalt ones.

Metal makes more sense than shingles where snow load is heavy, wind is constant, or you plan to stay in the house long enough to see the payback. On a mountain property or an exposed bench lot, that math usually works. On a sheltered valley home you plan to sell in five years, it often does not.

• Heavy snow country, benches and canyons
• Exposed lots that take constant wind
• Long-term homes where lifespan beats up-front cost

Courtland Roofing installs standing seam as the premium metal system, with concealed fasteners and no exposed screws to work loose over time. Exposed-fastener panels cost less and suit outbuildings and simpler roof shapes. We also install metal over existing structures where the deck is sound.

• Standing seam, with concealed fasteners
• Exposed-fastener panel systems
• Metal accents over porches, bays and dormers

We install a metal roof starting at the deck, because metal is less forgiving than shingles and needs a flat, sound surface under it. We check the deck is flat and sound, lay a high-temperature underlayment, then set panels with the correct clips and allowance for expansion. Metal moves as it heats and cools, and a roof fastened too rigidly will fail at the fixings.

1. Deck assessmentMetal shows every dip, so the deck has to be flat and solid first.
2. High-temperature underlaymentMetal runs hotter than asphalt and needs underlayment rated for it.
3. Panel and clip installationSet with room to expand and contract through the seasons.
4. Trim, flashing and finishRidge, valley and edge details, which is where metal roofs leak if rushed.

Courtland Roofing is a family-owned, licensed and insured Utah roofing company led by Coury Lloyd. Metal is a system where installation quality decides the outcome more than the material does, and we would rather turn a job down than rush the detailing on one.

Why homeowners pick us:

• We detail it properlyMetal leaks at ridges, valleys and edges when those are rushed. That detailing is where we spend the time.
• Room to moveMetal expands and contracts. Fastened too rigidly it fails at the fixings, so we build in the allowance.
• Honest about whether it suits youMetal is not the right answer for every home, and we will say so rather than sell up.
• Backed by our workmanship warrantyFive years on the labor, alongside the manufacturer's cover on the panels.
