If you’ve been noticing more sleek, standing seam metal roofs across neighborhoods in Salt Lake, Summit, or Davis County, you’re not imagining things. Metal roofing in Utah is quickly becoming the go-to choice for homeowners who want exceptional durability, energy efficiency, and modern curb appeal. And it makes sense: Utah’s climate is one of the most demanding in the country, and asphalt shingles simply weren’t built for it.
At Brady Roofing, we don’t just install metal roofing — we specialize in it. As a Pac-Clad Certified Installer, we offer high-performance metal roof systems backed by exclusive product and workmanship warranties that most Utah roofers simply can’t provide.

Why Metal Roofing Makes Sense in Utah
Utah’s weather can be unforgiving. From pounding snow in Park City to searing summer sun in Salt Lake City, your roof needs to do more than look good; it needs to perform year after year. Metal roofing is engineered to handle all of it.
Here’s why more homeowners are making the switch:
- Unmatched Longevity – Metal roofs last 40-70 years with minimal maintenance, far outlasting asphalt shingles that typically need replacement every 15-25 years in Utah’s freeze-thaw cycles.
- Extreme Weather Resistance – Standing seam metal sheds snow effortlessly, resists high wind uplift, and is naturally fire-resistant, critical for homes in Utah’s wildfire-prone foothills and canyon communities.
- Energy Efficiency – Metal reflects solar radiation and can be installed with cool roof coatings, reducing summer cooling bills, a major benefit in Salt Lake’s 100°F summers.
- Modern Aesthetics – Available in matte black, copper, zinc, Galvalume, and dozens of other finishes, metal roofs complement everything from mountain-modern homes in Deer Valley to traditional ranches in Davis County.
- Resale Value – A professionally installed metal roof is a selling point. Buyers in Utah’s competitive real estate market increasingly view it as a premium upgrade, not just a maintenance item.

How Much Does a Metal Roof Cost in Utah?
This is the question every homeowner asks, and it’s a fair one. Metal roofing costs more upfront than asphalt shingles, but the math changes significantly over time.
In Utah, a standing seam metal roof typically ranges from $12-$20+ per square foot installed, depending on roof complexity, panel profile, finish, and the contractor. A full re-roof on an average Utah home runs anywhere from $25,000 to $60,000+ for a quality standing seam system.
Compare that to asphalt shingles, which average $5-$9 per square foot but require replacement every 15-20 years in Utah’s climate and may need more frequent repairs due to hail, UV degradation, and ice dam damage.
The bottom line: A metal roof typically pays for itself over a 30-50 year ownership window through reduced replacement cycles, lower maintenance costs, and energy savings. Brady Roofing offers financing options to make the investment more accessible.
Certified Metal Roofing with Brady Roofing
Not all metal roofs are created equal — and neither are the contractors who install them.
Brady Roofing is a Pac-Clad Certified Installer, which means:
- We’re trained and audited for proper installation techniques
- We have access to extended finish warranties (up to 35 years)
- We offer workmanship warranties that go beyond the industry standard
- We fabricate and install custom details that elevate both function and design
Whether it’s a new build in Park City or a re-roof in Holladay, our team works directly with architects, designers, and homeowners to ensure a flawless install — down to the last panel.
Custom Metal Fabrication, In-House
Brady Roofing has invested in the tools and training to do more than just install, we fabricate metal in-house. This allows us to:
- Match existing colors and profiles on additions or partial re-roofs
- Create unique flashing and trim details for complex Utah roof geometries
- Maintain precision on steep-slope and custom-pitch applications
And importantly: all of our crews are full-time employees, not subcontractors. Every roof we install is completed by a team we’ve trained, managed, and held to our exacting standards. That means consistent quality, clear communication, and the kind of craftsmanship you don’t get when work is subbed out.
