The importance of a high-quality roof is often overlooked by homeowners and builders but it is one of the most critical components of a Park City home.

Let’s look at some reasons why a high-quality roof is incredibly important to your home and its proper functioning

Snow Fall & Ice Protection

Park City winters put a lot of strain on a roof. Park City on average receives 411 inches of snow per year and experiences long winters that can last 6 months.

In addition to over 400 inches of snowfall, the temperature in Park City during the winter fluctuates greatly.

Having snow and ice sitting on your roof for long periods of time strains your roofing materials and can cause failures if high-quality materials are not used.

Water can breach cheaper materials as the snow melts and freezes and expands and contracts throughout the day; leading to leaks that can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damages.

Unlike areas with more temperate climates like California, a low-quality roof in Park City will cause homeowners major issues during the winter.
