Metal roofing is a premium option that offers durability and a modern look. At Classic Roofing, we provide aluminum, steel, and copper roofing in various styles and finishes to suit your property. Known for long lifespan, weather resistance, and low maintenance, our metal roofs are expertly installed and repaired to ensure lasting performance. Ideal for both residential and commercial projects, they deliver both style and reliability.
Metal Roofing
Built Different. Performs Different.
Metal roofing isn’t just a material choice — it’s a long-term investment in your home’s protection and value.
40–70 Year Lifespan
Metal roofs outlast asphalt by 2–3x, often exceeding the life of the home itself. One investment, decades of protection.
Low Maintenance
No granule loss, no curling, no cracking. Metal requires far less attention than any other roofing material — freeing you from recurring repair costs.
Weather Resistant
Engineered to shed snow, resist high winds, and handle freeze-thaw cycles without compromise. Metal is built for exactly what Utah throws at it.
Energy Efficient
Reflective metal surfaces reduce heat absorption, lowering cooling costs by up to 25%. An investment that pays you back every month.
Is Metal Worth It?
The honest answer depends on your timeline. Here’s what the numbers actually look like side by side.
Asphalt Shingles
The standard choice
Lower Upfront Cost
More accessible initial investment — easier on short-term budgets.
20–30 Year Lifespan
You’ll likely replace it once or twice over a long homeownership.
More Maintenance Required
Granule loss, curling, algae growth, and storm repairs add up over time.
Absorbs Heat
Dark shingles trap solar heat, increasing attic temps and AC load.
Metal Roofing
Higher Upfront Investment
Costs more initially — but the math changes significantly over time.
40–70 Year Lifespan
Install it once. It may outlast the mortgage — and then some.
Far Less Maintenance
No granules, no curling, minimal repairs. Designed to be set and forgotten.
Reflects Heat — Saves Energy
Metal reflects solar radiation, cutting cooling costs month after month.
Not All Metal Roofs Are the Same
Each metal roofing system has distinct characteristics, performance profiles, and ideal use cases. We help you choose the right one.
Mechanically Locked Standing Seam
The gold standard in metal roofing. Vertical panels with concealed fasteners run from ridge to eave, creating a clean, modern appearance while eliminating fastener exposure — the #1 source of metal roof leaks.
HOA friendly
Classic aesthetic
Multiple colorways
Neighborhood blend
Standing Seam Snap Lock
A standing seam variant where panels snap together at the seam rather than being mechanically crimped. Faster to install than mechanically seamed systems while still offering concealed fasteners and solid weather performance — a great balance of value and quality.
Concealed fasteners
Faster installation
Mid-range price point
Exposed Fastener Corrugated
A more affordable metal option where screws penetrate the panel face directly. Commonly used on agricultural and utility structures, and increasingly on budget- conscious residential applications. Requires periodic maintenance to check fastener seals.
Lower material cost
Easier installation
Needs periodic re-sealing
Metal Roofing Is Only as Good as the Installation
The material can last 70 years. But a poorly installed metal roof will fail in
7. Metal demands precision that most roofers simply aren’t trained to
deliver.
- Concealed Fastener Systems
- Seam Precision
- Thermal Expansion Planning
- Custom Fabricated Detailing

Craftsmanship
Every seam checked. Every detail fabricated to spec.
Metal Handles What Utah Throws at It
From sub-zero winters to scorching summers — metal roofing is engineered to perform in every condition Utah delivers.
Snow & Ice
Slick metal panels shed snow naturally — preventing dangerous ice dam buildup that destroys lesser roofs. Less load, less risk.
High Winds
Metal panels interlock and fasten continuously — rated for winds up to 140 mph. No shingles to lift, no panels to lose.
Intense Sun
Reflective coatings bounce solar radiation away from your home — reducing attic heat and lowering cooling bills through Utah’s long summers.
Temperature Swings
Utah can swing 60°F in a single day. Metal’s expansion-engineered design moves with temperature changes — never cracking or warping.

Stone Coated Steel Roofing
It’s steel engineered to look and feel like traditional roofing — with a protective stone granule surface that gives it its distinctive, textured appearance and superior resilience.
Flat Roofing
Flat roofing systems are a popular choice for both modern homes and commercial buildings due to their practicality and ease of maintenance. At Classic Roofing, we specialize in advanced flat roofing solutions such as TPO, PVC, and EPDM.
Roof Repairs
Not every roofing problem requires a full roof replacement. At Classic Roofing, we take the time to properly inspect the roof, identify the issue, and recommend the solution that makes the most sense for your home and budget.
