Park City Roofing Company — Built for the Mountain

Most roofing problems in Park City trace back to a few things that don't show up the same way at lower elevations:

 

Heavy Snow Loads — Park City averages over 300 inches of snowfall per year at the resorts, and Summit County homes carry serious weight on their roofs through the winter months. Roofs need to be structurally sound and properly ventilated to handle that load season after season.

 

Ice Dams — When heat escapes through a poorly insulated or ventilated attic, it warms the roof deck and melts snow from underneath. That meltwater runs to the cold eaves, refreezes, and builds up a dam. Water then backs up under the shingles and into the home. It's one of the most common — and most misunderstood — causes of winter roof leaks.

 

Freeze-Thaw Cycles — Even on days without heavy snow, temperatures swing above and below freezing repeatedly. That expansion and contraction stresses every joint, nail, and piece of flashing on your roof over time.

 

Steep Pitches — Park City homes, cabins, and chalets are often built with steep-pitch roofs designed to shed snow. Steep-pitch work requires specific experience and safety equipment to do correctly.

Park City Roofing Services We Offer

Roof Inspections

A lot of Park City homes are second properties, and it's easy for roof issues to go unnoticed between visits. We'll do a thorough inspection — shingles, flashing, ridge vents, gutters, attic ventilation — and walk you through exactly what we're seeing. If you want a report you can review remotely, we can do that.

​

Ice Dam Assessment & Repair

If you're seeing water stains inside your home during or after winter, ice dams are often the cause. We can assess the roof and help you understand whether the issue is a flashing problem, an insulation and ventilation issue, or both. Getting to the root cause matters — otherwise you'll have the same problem every winter.

​

Roof Repairs

Park City's weather creates specific repair needs. We handle:

 

• Leak detection and repair following snow or ice events

• Flashing repairs around chimneys, skylights, and dormers

• Shingle replacement after wind or ice damage

• Valley and ridge repairs

• Pipe boot and penetration sealing

• Gutter and drip edge repairs

• Fascia damage from prolonged moisture exposure

• Repairs to steep-pitch and complex roof lines
   

Roof Replacement

When a roof has run its course, we'll help you choose materials that are right for a mountain climate — not just what's popular at lower elevations. We'll give you a clear scope, a realistic timeline, and keep you updated whether you're on-site or managing things from a distance.

​

New Roof Installation

Building or rebuilding in Park City? We install complete roofing systems designed for high-elevation performance, including proper ventilation, ice and water shield, and materials suited for heavy snow country.

​

Roof Types We Work On

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing is one of the best options for Park City homes. It sheds snow naturally, holds up to the freeze-thaw cycle, and lasts significantly longer than asphalt in a mountain climate. Standing seam metal in particular is popular throughout Summit County for both performance and the way it looks on mountain architecture.

​

Cedar Wood Shake Roofing

Cedar roofing is common on older Park City homes and cabins, and it fits the mountain aesthetic naturally. Cedar requires the right installation technique and occasional maintenance to perform well at altitude. We work with both new cedar systems and aging shake roofs that need repair or replacement.

​

Asphalt Shingle Roofing

Architectural asphalt shingles are still a solid option in Park City when the right product is used. We install shingles rated for high-wind and impact resistance, and we always include a full ice and water shield underlayment — not just at the eaves, but wherever the roof is vulnerable.

​

Flat & Low Slope Roofing

Modern homes and additions in the Park City area often include flat or low-slope sections. We install TPO, PVC, and EPDM systems that are designed to handle the drainage demands of heavy snowmelt.

​

Roofing for Second Homes and Vacation Properties

A lot of Park City homeowners aren't local full-time, and that creates a specific challenge: problems can go unnoticed for weeks or months before someone's back in town to catch them. A slow leak in January might not show up on your radar until April — and by then the damage is significantly worse.

 

We work with second homeowners and property managers throughout Summit County. If you want to set up a regular inspection schedule, coordinate with a property manager, or need someone to assess damage and send you a clear report before you make a trip up, we can work with you on that.

Roofing FAQs in Park City

What causes ice dams on Park City roofs?

Ice dams form when warm air from inside the home escapes into the attic and heats the roof deck. Snow melts from underneath, runs toward the colder eaves, and refreezes. The resulting ice dam forces water back up under the shingles, where it finds its way inside. The fix isn't just a roofing fix — it often involves addressing attic insulation and ventilation so the roof deck stays uniformly cold.

​

My Park City home is a vacation property. How do I manage roofing issues when I'm not local?

We work with second homeowners regularly. We can coordinate an inspection, document everything clearly with photos, and walk you through the findings over the phone or by email so you can make a decision without having to make a trip. If something urgent comes up, we'll let you know right away.

​

Is metal roofing a good choice for Park City?

Yes — it's one of the best choices for this climate. Metal sheds snow without letting it build up, handles the freeze-thaw cycle better than asphalt, and lasts significantly longer. Standing seam metal is a particularly good fit for steep-pitch mountain homes. We're happy to walk you through the options.

​

Does snow damage require an insurance claim?

It depends on what caused the damage. Sudden storm events, including ice dam water intrusion and wind-blown shingle damage, are often covered under homeowner's insurance. Gradual wear from snow load over time typically isn't. We can inspect your roof and give you clear documentation of what we're seeing to help you have that conversation with your insurer.

​

How do I know if my Park City roof has a snow load problem?

Signs of structural stress from snow load include sagging or bowing at the ridge or rafters, doors and windows that stick or won't close properly, and cracking sounds from the structure in heavy snow. If you're seeing any of those, get someone on the roof as soon as it's safe to do so. An inspection can determine whether it's a structural issue or a roofing issue.

​

Do you handle emergency roofing in Park City?

Yes. If you're dealing with an active leak, sudden storm damage, or a roof emergency at a property you're not able to get to quickly, call us and we'll assess the situation and help you understand your options right away.
