Highland, Utah Roofing Company — Repairs, Replacements & Metal Roofs

A Roofing Crew That Knows Highland’s Bench

Highland sits on the high ground of northern Utah County, spread across big lots between the mouth of American Fork Canyon and the streets that roll down toward the pond at Highland Glen Park. It’s a city of large family homes — long rooflines, steep pitches, plenty of gables — and those roofs deal with more weather than most of the valley below. Rooval Roofing repairs, maintains, and replaces roofs all over Highland. We’re a local, family-run crew with a 5.0-star Google rating from 31 homeowners, licensed and insured, and we sweat the unglamorous details: flashing, attic ventilation, ice protection, and a clean yard when we leave. Here’s what we actually see on Highland roofs, and how we take care of them.

Wind Off the Canyon, Snow on the Bench

American Fork Canyon acts like a funnel. When pressure builds on the east side of the Wasatch, wind pours out of the canyon and runs straight across Highland’s open lots. Big parcels mean few windbreaks, so gusts hit rooflines at full speed. The damage we find afterward is usually subtle: shingle tabs that got creased and lie flat again but no longer seal, lifted ridge caps, torn corners on the slopes facing the canyon. Homes higher on the bench — up around Beacon Hills, for instance — catch some of the strongest gusts we see anywhere in Utah County.

Elevation is the second factor. Highland sits noticeably higher than Lehi or American Fork, and it holds its snow longer. North-facing slopes can carry a snowpack for weeks. When attic heat melts that snow from underneath, the meltwater refreezes over the cold eaves and builds an ice dam, and trapped water starts working back up under the shingles. It usually announces itself as a ceiling stain near an exterior wall in February. The lasting fix is rarely just new shingles — it’s balanced ventilation, adequate insulation, and ice-and-water membrane at the eaves and valleys, installed correctly the first time.

Then summer flips the problem. At nearly 5,000 feet the sun is intense enough that we routinely find the south- and west-facing slopes of a Highland roof aged years beyond the shaded sides — heavy granule loss, brittle tabs, curling edges. A roof up here can look fine from the driveway and still be two very different roofs depending on which slope you check.

Boom-Era Neighborhoods, Original Shingles

Much of Highland was built out during the growth waves of the 1990s and early 2000s — neighborhoods like Dry Creek Highlands and Mitchell Hollow filled in through that stretch. A roof from that era is now deep into the second half of its life, and a surprising number are still on their original shingles. If your home went up before about 2005 and the roof has never been replaced, it deserves a close look. Not a sales pitch — an honest read on how many good years it has left.

The Roof Work We Handle in Highland

Most of our Highland jobs fall into one of these buckets:

• Roof repair — wind-creased shingles, flashing leaks around chimneys and skylights, cracked pipe boots, and the ceiling stains that follow an ice dam. We fix the cause, not just the spot.
• Roof replacement — full tear-off, deck inspection, and architectural asphalt shingles installed for Utah’s freeze-thaw swings. Large, cut-up Highland rooflines are our normal workload, not a special order.
• Metal roofing — standing-seam and metal shingle systems that shed bench snow cleanly and hold their color under high-elevation sun. On Highland’s open, gust-prone lots, metal’s wind performance earns its keep.
• Roof tune-ups — a point-by-point maintenance visit for mid-life roofs: resealing exposed nail heads, swapping out a handful of damaged shingles, checking every flashing and vent. Often the smartest money a Highland homeowner can spend on a roof that isn’t ready for replacement.
• Storm checks — after a windstorm or hail, we inspect and document any storm damage with photos. Whether you do anything with that information is entirely your call; you’ll simply know exactly what’s on your roof.

A Lehi Shop, About Twelve Minutes Down the Road

Rooval Roofing is based in Lehi, about 12 minutes from Highland, which means we can usually look at a leak the same week you call — sometimes the same day. It also means the crew on your roof drives past the mouth of the canyon all winter and knows exactly what Highland weather does to shingles, because we work under it constantly.

We’re licensed and insured, we back every installation with a workmanship warranty, and we hold a 5.0-star Google rating. When a repair will genuinely solve the problem, we say so and charge for a repair. And if you just want a ballpark before talking to anyone, our instant quote tool at rooval-roofing.com/roof-quote measures your roof from aerial imagery and gives you a real number in about a minute.

Straight Answers for Highland Homeowners

What does a full roof replacement cost on a Highland home?

Highland homes run large, and the rooflines here carry a lot of gables, hips, and valleys, so they land toward the higher end of Utah County pricing. Most Highland replacements fall between $10,000 and $24,000, with big custom homes going above that and metal systems priced higher than asphalt. For a number tied to your actual address, the instant quote tool takes about a minute and doesn’t require a phone call.

The canyon wind hit us hard this spring — how do I know if my shingles took damage?

From the ground, you often can’t. Wind-creased shingles settle back into place and look normal, but the seal strip is broken and the next gust can peel them off. We walk the roof, photograph what we find, and tell you plainly whether it needs a few shingles and some resealing, a tune-up, or something bigger. The inspection is free either way.

Our house near Lone Peak High School went up in the early 2000s — should we be planning for a new roof?

Planning, yes; panicking, no. Shingles from that era usually show their age first on the south-facing slopes — granule loss, exposed fiberglass mat, curling at the edges. An inspection tells you whether you’re realistically looking at two more good years or ten, and that changes whether a tune-up or a replacement is the right spend.

Can you actually fix Highland’s ice dam problem, or just treat the symptoms?

Both, honestly. Heat cable and careful snow removal manage the symptom. The real fix happens at replacement time: balanced intake and exhaust ventilation so the attic stays cold, insulation that keeps house heat out of it, and ice-and-water membrane run past the warm-wall line at the eaves. Done right, meltwater drains instead of backing up under your shingles.
