Materials
The material defines the roof. Choose deliberately.

Architectural
Shingles
The workhorse of American roofing — engineered for dimension, durability, and value. We install GAF Timberline and CertainTeed Landmark — the benchmarks of the industry. Architectural shingles provide the layered, textured look of natural materials with the ease and reliability of modern asphalt engineering.

Natural
Slate
A slate roof is a generational decision. Installed correctly, it will outlast every other component of your home. Summit's slate crews are specialty-trained for this irreplaceable material. Natural slate is quarried stone — each piece unique, each roof a work of permanence.

Structural assessment required — slate is the heaviest roofing material. Summit performs a full load analysis before every slate installation.

Cedar
Shake
Hand-split cedar shakes weather to a silver patina that no synthetic material can replicate. We source premium Western red cedar and install with copper nails and proper ventilation for maximum life. The organic roof — warmth, character, and the beauty of natural aging.

Clay
Tile
Barrel and flat clay tiles have roofed Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes for centuries. Summit installs both imported and domestic clay tile with proper underlayment and flashing for Utah's freeze-thaw climate. The Old World material — warm, permanent, and distinctive.
