Roofing Cost by Material in Herriman (2026)
Roofing is priced per "square" — one square is 100 square feet of roof surface. A typical Herriman home works out to somewhere between 18 and 30 squares once pitch and overhang are counted, which is always more than the home's floor area.
| Material | Per sq ft | Per square | Expected life | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-tab asphalt shingle | $3.75 – $5.50 | $375 – $550 | 15 – 20 yrs | Entry level. Fewer manufacturers still push it; wind ratings are lower. |
| Architectural (dimensional) shingle | $4.75 – $7.50 | $475 – $750 | 25 – 30 yrs | The default choice on the Wasatch Front. Best cost per year for most homes. |
| Designer / premium shingle | $7.50 – $12.00 | $750 – $1,200 | 30 – 50 yrs | Heavier, higher wind rating, slate or shake look. Worth it on visible steep roofs. |
| Exposed-fastener metal panel | $7.00 – $12.00 | $700 – $1,200 | 25 – 40 yrs | Common on shops, barns, and detached garages. Screws need re-torquing over time. |
| Standing seam metal | $12.00 – $20.00 | $1,200 – $2,000 | 40 – 70 yrs | Concealed fasteners, sheds snow well. Highest up-front cost, lowest lifetime cost. |
| Concrete or clay tile (lift & relay) | $6.50 – $11.00 | $650 – $1,100 | 25 – 30 yrs (underlayment) | Reuses your existing tile. Replaces the felt underneath, which is what actually failed. |
| New concrete or clay tile | $12.00 – $25.00 | $1,200 – $2,500 | 50+ yrs (tile) | Heavy. Requires the framing to be rated for the load. |
| TPO / EPDM membrane (low slope) | $7.00 – $13.00 | $700 – $1,300 | 20 – 30 yrs | The correct system below a 3:12 pitch. Shingles are not. |
What Roofs Actually Cost in Herriman
| Local figure | Typical for Herriman |
|---|---|
| Typical roof size | 20 – 30 squares (Herriman average) |
| Typical full replacement, architectural shingle | $10,500 – $21,000 |
| Housing stock | almost entirely post-2000 construction, with dense newer subdivisions climbing the benches toward the Oquirrhs |
| ZIP codes served | 84096 |
Newer construction means full replacements are less common than repairs. When one is needed, high wind exposure makes the shingle wind rating the spec that matters most.
That range assumes a complete tear-off, synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, new flashing, and ridge ventilation. A quote materially below it is usually missing one of those, not finding a cheaper shingle.
What Moves Your Number Up or Down
Two houses of the same square footage on the same street can be 40% apart. These are the reasons, roughly in order of impact.
- Pitch. Anything above about 7:12 requires additional fall protection and slows the crew down. Steep roofs commonly add 15 to 30%.
- Layers. Tearing off two or three existing layers roughly doubles the tear-off and disposal line.
- Complexity. Dormers, valleys, chimneys, skylights, and intersecting gables are where the labor hours actually go. A simple gable ranch and a cut-up two-story with the same square footage are not the same job.
- Decking condition. Unknowable until the old roof is off. It should be quoted as a per-sheet rate, not buried in the total.
- Material tier. The spread from builder-grade to designer shingle across a full roof is often only $2,500 to $4,000 — one of the better value decisions in the project.
- Access. Tight side yards, steep driveways, low-hanging power lines, and no place to stage a dumpster all add time.
- Season. Late fall and winter are slower for most contractors, and pricing sometimes reflects that. Mid-summer after a storm is the worst time to shop on price.
What a Full Replacement Runs by Home Size
Architectural shingle, complete tear-off, typical complexity. This is the table most homeowners actually want.
| Home size | Roof squares | Typical installed total |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000 – 1,400 sq ft (small ranch, single story) | 13 – 18 | $6,800 – $12,500 |
| 1,400 – 1,800 sq ft (typical valley ranch) | 17 – 23 | $8,500 – $16,000 |
| 1,800 – 2,400 sq ft (two story, simple roof) | 18 – 26 | $9,500 – $18,500 |
| 2,400 – 3,200 sq ft (two story, multiple gables) | 24 – 34 | $13,000 – $25,000 |
| 3,200 – 4,500 sq ft (large or custom home) | 32 – 48 | $18,000 – $38,000 |
| Detached garage or shop | 4 – 9 | $2,200 – $6,500 |
Roofing in Herriman: What's Different Here
Herriman is young enough that full replacements are still the exception. Most of what we do here is leak diagnosis, flashing and pipe-boot repair, storm damage documentation, and warranty-adjacent work where the original install cut a corner.
The Oquirrh bench exposure means wind is the dominant threat to these roofs, not age, and the newest streets sit high enough to hold snow well after the valley floor has cleared.
Housing here is almost entirely post-2000 construction, with dense newer subdivisions climbing the benches toward the Oquirrhs. We work throughout Rosecrest, Blackridge, the Herriman Towne Center area, the Juniper Canyon area, and the rest of Herriman — including everything near Blackridge Reservoir.

Paying for It
- Financing with approved credit, including options with no prepayment penalty — ask us to run the numbers before you commit to anything.
- Insurance claims for wind, hail, and sudden storm damage. We document the damage, meet the adjuster on site, and bill the approved scope directly.
- Phased work. If the whole roof cannot happen this year, we will tell you which slope is actually urgent and quote that alone.
- Straight repair. If a repair genuinely buys you five more years, that is what we will recommend — it is a better outcome for you and it is how we get the replacement when it is really time.
Deposits are modest and the balance is due after your final walkthrough, not before.

Roof Replacement Cost FAQs — Herriman
Do you offer financing?
Yes, with approved credit, including options with no prepayment penalty. We will run the numbers for you before you commit to anything, and we will tell you if the repair route makes more financial sense than financing a replacement.
Can I just roof over the existing shingles?
It is legal in most cases if there is only one existing layer, and it saves roughly $1,500. We do not recommend it: it hides the decking condition entirely, traps heat that shortens the new shingle life, and doubles the tear-off cost when the next roof goes on.
How long does a roof last in Utah?
Architectural shingle realistically gives 22 to 28 years here, 3-tab closer to 15 to 18, standing seam metal 40 to 70, and tile 50-plus on the tile with the underlayment needing replacement at 20 to 30 years. Freeze-thaw cycling is harder on roofs than most national averages assume.
Do I have to move out or take a day off work?
No. Most homeowners go about their day. It is genuinely loud during tear-off, so if you work from home or have someone napping, plan around the first several hours.
What happens if you find rotten decking?
We show you before we cover it, count the sheets, and charge the per-sheet rate that is already in your estimate. This is why a decking rate should be a named line item in any quote — so the number is agreed before anyone has an incentive to inflate the count.
Will a new roof lower my insurance?
Often, yes — many carriers rate on roof age and material, and some now decline to renew older roofs entirely. Send your carrier the completion documentation and ask them to re-rate. It is worth the phone call.
