Heber City is hard on roofs. The town sits at about 5,600 feet in the Wasatch Back, gets around 75 inches of snow in an average year, and has been as cold as 38 below. Up here, a roof has to deal with heavy snow sitting on it for months, and with ice dams most winters.
We repair and replace roofs across Heber City and the rest of the valley, from the old homes near Main Street to new subdivisions and mountain places up toward Timber Lakes. We also work in Midway, Charleston, and Daniel. Roofing Utah is women-owned, licensed and insured.
Heber’s homes cover a lot of ground. Some in the original town date to the early 1900s, a few with log walls. There are post-war homes with shallow eaves, and new neighborhoods going up fast. Up the mountain, cabins and A-frames get even more snow. We work on all of them:
Ice dams form when heat from the house melts the snow higher up on the roof. The water runs down to the cold eaves and freezes again. In Heber that can keep happening for months, until the ice backs water up under the shingles and into your walls and ceilings. That’s why Wasatch County’s building design criteria require an ice barrier underlayment. It’s also why we treat attic ventilation and insulation as part of the roof job.
Snow load matters just as much. Wasatch County doesn’t use a single snow-load number for every house. It sets one for each site using Utah State University’s snow load calculator, because the elevation changes so much across the valley. A cabin at Timber Lakes, at 7,000 feet or higher, has to hold a lot more snow than a house in town.
If you’re inside Heber City limits, your permit goes through Heber City. Unincorporated areas like Timber Lakes go through the Wasatch County Building Department, and Midway, Charleston, and Daniel each have their own offices. We’ll confirm the right one for your address and pull the permit when it’s required. Heber is also surveying its historic core in 2026 to see if it qualifies as a National Register historic district, so if you own one of the older homes near Main Street, we’ll suggest materials that fit it.
We work throughout the Heber Valley and the Wasatch Back:
Ice dams come from heat leaking into the attic and melting the snow on the upper roof. Fixing them takes three things: ice-barrier underlayment at the eaves, good attic ventilation, and enough insulation. We look at all of it, not just the shingles.
A lot of the time, yes. Metal sheds snow well and doesn’t mind the cold. We’ll just talk through where the snow will slide off, so it doesn’t land on your walkway, deck, or driveway.
We do. Higher up, the snow loads are heavier and the roofs are steeper, and we plan for both. Permits up there go through Wasatch County, and we handle that.
For emergencies, yes. We can tarp the roof and stop an active leak in winter, then come back for a full replacement when the weather allows a proper install.
