There’s No Substitute for Experience
Since your roof protects your new house and its contents from the elements, you can’t afford to get this wrong. An improperly installed roof could mean that delightful new-home smell is replaced with the terrifying scent of mold. If the roof isn’t sound, your beautiful new home will quickly have mildew in the attic, rotting joists, or water spots on the ceiling. Or all three. The stakes are too high to choose any ol’ contractor for your project.
If you’re looking for new construction roofing contractors working in Salt Lake City or around Utah, consider whether they have actual experience working on new homes. New home roofing brings different challenges than simply reroofing an existing home, and you want to make sure the contractors you choose are up to the challenge. We hate to toot our own horn, but we have that experience. (Beep, beep!) That means you can rely on us to care for your new home and give it the roof it needs.
We’ve built new construction roofs many times. We understand not only the stakes for your structure but the particulars of the project. New roofs aren’t easy. We may make them look that way, but that’s only because we have the experience and training necessary to understand what it takes to build a new roof structure. We know how to evaluate your roofline and the details of your home.
New roof construction starts with a hole and turns it into a fully functioning roof. That’s a massive undertaking and involves many different elements. You want someone with experience in all the components of new construction roofing. Yes, they need to know how to lay shingles and install gutters. But that’s not nearly enough. They need experience with the entire process of planning, creating, and installing a new construction roof. We have that experience and would love to put it to work on your new construction home.
A Roof is a Roof, Right?
Many people assume that new construction roofing is about the same as roof replacement. It’s just putting a roof on a house, right? Wrong.
Roof replacement works with the existing framework. You remove the old roof covering and replace it with a new one. The materials may differ, but the basic design and construction are similar and rest on the same underlayment.
A new roof requires analyzing the building to determine the optimal roofing system and materials. New construction roofing installers need to understand your structure. They have to install the framework, underlayment, and covering.
Think of roof replacement versus new construction roofing like the difference between frosting a cake versus baking and decorating the cake. There’s an art to both of them.
Ask anyone who has had a Pinterest-Fail-safe cake: an outstanding, successful cake decorating job isn’t easy. But baking a balanced cake that isn’t too sweet, doesn’t collapse, and tastes divine, and then frosting it into a masterpiece — that’s an entirely different skill set. A great cake decorator might be a terrible baker.
The same applies to building a sound roof structure that protects your new home and looks beautiful. You wouldn’t choose novice bakers to produce your elaborate wedding cake. Don’t trust inexperienced new construction roofing contractors to give you a sound roof and all the other roofing elements that go into protecting your home. Whether they are new to roofing or new to building a roof from scratch, inexperienced contractors aren’t the right choice for new construction roof installation.
We’ll start your new construction roofing project by evaluating the entire building envelope. We will also take precise measurements of the structure. We will use what we learn to develop a plan.
The details of your home design help us understand the roof deck, insulation, venting, and roof covering most appropriate for your home. Once we understand the scope of the work, we can provide a detailed estimate for the project. This is also the point where our trained team members guide you in selecting the best materials. These materials must give your home the protection it needs while also providing the look you desire.
Appearance Matters
You’ve likely put much time and effort into selecting the right finishes for your new home. You carefully choose floor plans and outside elevations that appeal to you. You want your home to look great and be a reflection of you. You want it to be something you are proud of.
You won’t be proud of an ugly roof. The wrong roofing materials can negate all the time and money you spent crafting plans for a beautiful home. It won’t matter how lovely the landscaping is or how attractive the lines of the architecture are if the roof is unsightly. Slap an ugly roof on a Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece, and you have an ugly home.
Be mindful that the materials you select for your roof can make or break the appearance of your new construction home. Thankfully, BigHorn Roofing has a wide variety of materials available.
Whatever your specific needs, preferences, and style, we’ve got the roof that will do the trick. And our patient, expert staff can help guide you to the best options. Whether you are creating a modern masterpiece or a Victorian vision, we can find a roof that will complement your new home. If you want a bold color to make a statement, we can do that. If you’d prefer to let your gorgeous new home do all the talking, we can find an understated option that won’t steal the limelight.
Ask and Ye Shall Receive
We are confident we are the best roofer for your new construction roof installation. But you don’t have to take our word for it. If you are struggling to figure out how to vet potential new construction roofing installers, we’ve put together a list of questions to ask. Any roofer who hesitates is probably not someone you should work with.
We’d be happy to answer these questions. In fact, we are so happy to answer them that we’ve done so right here.
- How long have you been in business?
More than 20 years. - Are you a local business?
BigHorn Roofing is absolutely a local company. We are part of the West Jordan community. - Can I speak with past customers?
We’ll proudly provide you with contact information for a few of our more than 3,400 customers. If you want to see new construction roof projects we’ve completed, we can also provide that information. - Are you licensed and insured? Can I see proof?
Of course we are. And we’ll gladly show you all the documents you need to verify it. - Do you have any other certifications, training, or qualifications?
Phew, where do we start? We are perhaps most proud of our GAF master elite status. Less than 2% of roofing contractors in the United States earn that title. Our president, who has been in the construction industry since he was 15, has a master’s degree. Our accountant has an MBA. We could go on, but it might start to sound like bragging.
As far as your specific project, here are some additional questions to ask any potential contractors:
- Who will be building and installing my roof? Are they employees of your company or subcontractors?
- When can you schedule my job? How long do you estimate it will take?
- Can you coordinate with the general contractor on my new construction project?
These questions can help you screen potential new construction roofing contractors. We answer them, and more, all the time. If you are ever uncertain about anything, don’t hesitate to ask. We will take as much time as you need to feel comfortable with the project and understand the details.
Once you’ve broken ground on your new home, you may be focused on selecting beautiful cabinets and deciding on flooring materials. When it’s time to think about the roof that will protect those cabinets and keep those floors warmer in winter, reach out to BigHorn Roofing. We’d love the opportunity to earn your new construction roofing business. We are confident that everything from our industry experience to our helpful, knowledgeable workforce will make you comfortable entrusting us with your project.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does new construction roofing differ from roof replacement?
Both of these projects involve installing new roofs, but the key distinction is the timing of their execution. New construction roofing occurs during the construction of a new house or building, starting once the exterior walls and foundations are in place, allowing professionals to install the roof that will protect the structure. On the other hand, roof replacement is carried out on existing structures. It is advised by professionals when the current roof has reached the end of its lifespan or is displaying significant damage.
2. What can I expect during a new construction roofing project?
The roofing professionals will begin by conducting a thorough inspection of the entire building envelope. This step helps them identify the necessary roofing components like the deck, insulation, and roof covering, ensuring that the roof design aligns with your specifications. Once the project details are confirmed, the roofers will commence the installation process. Following the completion of the work, a final inspection will be carried out to ensure that the newly installed roof meets your requirements.
