Roofing services
Re-roofing first, with the exterior work that protects it
Residential asphalt shingle re-roofing is the heart of what we do, and roof replacement in Utah is where most of our homeowners start. Around it sit the services Utah homes need most, from seamless gutters to winter ice dam work. We also handle TPO, EPDM and PVC flat roofing on low-slope sections.
Roof replacement
A complete manufacturer roofing system, from decking to ridge, with three package levels and warranty coverage that can reach 50 years non-prorated.
Roof repair
Active leaks, wind and storm damage, or a DIY fix that didn’t hold. You get a straight answer on whether to repair now or plan a replacement.
Rain gutters, soffit & fascia
Seamless gutters that carry water away from your roof edge and foundation, installed on their own or together with a new roof.
Ice dam removal & heat cables
Heated steam machines clear ice without damaging your shingles, and heat cables help keep dams from forming again next winter.
Cedar & synthetic shake
Replacement and repair for cedar shake roofs, plus synthetic shake for owners who want the look with less upkeep.
Insurance claim help
After hail or wind, we document the damage, walk you through the claim and meet your adjuster on site, with straight talk about your deductible.
Why On Top Roofing
Get it right the first time, then stand behind it
Our crews are seasoned installers, not trainees learning on your house. Behind them is a large, well-capitalized company that will still be here when you need warranty service, unlike the out-of-state storm chasers who knock on doors after a hailstorm and leave town a few weeks later.
Elite manufacturer status
As a CertainTeed 5-Star and GAF Certified Plus contractor, we qualify to offer CertainTeed’s highest-tier warranties, including 25-year workmanship coverage the manufacturer honors.
A clean job site
We protect your landscaping and property during tear-off and finish with thorough magnetic nail sweeps.
Updates you don’t have to chase
From the office to your sales rep, project coordinator and project manager, you’ll know what’s happening and when.
Safety-trained crews
Every installation crew completes mandatory monthly safety training and follows strict OSHA protocols, including tie-offs on the roof.
By the numbers
A Utah roofer with a long track record
Hundreds of Google reviews across our four branches, with average ratings of 4.6 to 4.9 at each location.
Roof replacement packages
Roof replacement in Utah: three packages, explained plainly
Every package uses a 50-year shingle. What changes is the shingle grade and how much of the system the warranty covers.
Basic
Solid roof, straightforward coverage
A 50-year shingle with a 2-year workmanship warranty. No manufacturer enhanced warranty.
Preferred
The whole system, covered
An upgraded 50-year shingle with a GAF System Plus or CertainTeed 3-Star enhanced warranty: 50 years non-prorated on the entire roofing system, plus 5 years of workmanship coverage.
Premium
Our highest tier of protection
A heavyweight designer shingle, a 5-Star manufacturer warranty with 50-year non-prorated system coverage, and a 25-year workmanship warranty backed by the manufacturer, honored even if the installer closes.
Workmanship coverage is about how the roof was installed and whether it keeps water out; the enhanced warranties cover the materials and system.
Built for Utah
Utah weather is hard on roofs. We plan for it.
A roof here deals with deep cold, hot sun and mountain snow, sometimes in the same week. Our installation standards answer each of those.
Freeze-thaw aging
Big temperature swings expand and contract shingles constantly. A 10-year-old roof in Utah can look 20, so material grade and installation matter.
Beyond-code ice protection
Code sets a minimum; our standard is double coverage of ice and water shield along every eave and valley.
Mountain snow and fire codes
Wasatch Back homes face heavy snow loads, and from 2027 Summit and Wasatch counties add a fire-rated underlayment requirement.
HOAs and historic districts
We permit every job and work with local review boards, whose rules mostly cover approved roof colors and shingle styles.

How it works
From first call to final nail sweep
Inspection and photos
We look at your roof and document its condition in CompanyCam before we put together an estimate, so you see what we see.
A clear, honest estimate
Your price reflects roof size, pitch, existing layers and decking. If hidden rot or a broken truss turns up later, we show you and address it openly.
Installation to factory standards
Seasoned crews handle tear-off and installation to certified factory standards, with photos captured at each phase and steady updates from your project manager.
Clean-up and final photos
We protect your landscaping, sweep the property with magnets, and capture final photos in CompanyCam.
Pricing & payment
What a new roof costs, and why
Average residential re-roofing investment ranges between $20,000 and $30,000. The low bid is rarely the cheapest roof: some contractors buy discounted manufacturer seconds to win on price, and the homeowner pays for it later. Four things drive your number.
- Roof size, measured in roofing squares
- Pitch: a steep 12/12 roof takes about twice the labor of a walkable one
- How many existing layers need to come off
- Decking: many pre-1970s homes need new OSB over spaced slatboards
Financing & insurance
Ways to pay, and straight talk on claims
FinTurf’s tiered lending works with many credit profiles; unsecured loans commonly run about $150 to $200 a month.
On insurance claims, we never promise a free roof. Utah homeowners are responsible for their deductible, and we help you navigate the claim and meet the adjuster.

A local roofer since 2001
On Top Roofing was founded in 2001. In 2025 Lifetime Roofing, a Utah re-roofing company known since 2008 for total manufacturer systems and enhanced warranties, joined us under the On Top Roofing name. That focus on craftsmanship and long-term warranty protection is still our foundation, and we support the school teams and community events in the neighborhoods where our crews live.
Questions
Roof replacement questions Utah homeowners ask
On Top Roofing has served Utah homeowners since 2001 and runs branches in Salt Lake City, North Salt Lake, Layton and Park City. Hundreds of Google reviews across those branches average between 4.6 and 4.9 at each location.
Our Premium package includes a 25-year workmanship warranty backed by the manufacturer, so the manufacturer honors it even if the installer goes out of business. It pairs with a 5-Star manufacturer warranty covering the whole roofing system for 50 years, non-prorated.
We install CertainTeed and GAF shingles because both manufacturers stand behind their materials with strong warranty support. Every package starts with a 50-year shingle; Premium steps up to a heavyweight designer shingle, which matters where freeze-thaw cycles age roofs quickly.
Not usually. Some low bids rely on discounted manufacturer seconds, such as damaged underlayment and accessories, that shorten a roof’s life. Value comes from a complete manufacturer system, certified installation and a warranty that is still there in 25 years.
An overlay costs about half as much upfront, but the extra layer holds heat and roughly cuts the roof’s expected life in half, from around 25 years to 10–12 years. A full tear-off is the better long-term investment.
Spray treatments such as RoofMax can’t restore shingles once the protective granules have worn away. Most homeowners consider them around year 15 to 25, when that wear has already happened, so the treatment rarely helps.
