West Valley City Roof Pros provides professional tile roofing in West Valley City, UT for residential and commercial properties across the west Salt Lake Valley. Here is a page that argues against its own product. If you own tile in this city we will repair it and relay it properly. If you are thinking of converting a shingle roof to tile, we will usually tell you not to, and explain why before you ask.
Weight is the first reason. Concrete tile runs roughly six hundred to a thousand pounds per square against about two hundred fifty for laminated asphalt, and framing built for asphalt in a mid-century west-side subdivision was not sized for it. A structural evaluation and the reinforcement that follows frequently costs more than the covering, and that money buys you no performance you could not have bought more cheaply.
The second reason is the trade itself. Tile is common in the Southwest and thin on the ground here, which means fewer crews who detail it correctly and longer waits for a repair. A tile roof is only as good as the crew who touches it next, and in a market where that crew is scarce you are buying a maintenance obligation you may struggle to fill.
For homes that already have tile, most of what we do is relay and underlayment work. Tile outlives the felt beneath it by decades, so the tiles come off in order and go back on over new self-adhered membrane, with cracked pieces swapped from stock we keep for the common local profiles. That is real work, and it costs far less than a new tile roof while resetting the clock on the layer that keeps water out.
Wind on tile behaves differently from wind on asphalt. Field tiles rarely leave, but the perimeter and hip and ridge pieces do, because mortar-only bedding cracks and releases. We fasten perimeter tiles mechanically and use a foam adhesive with clips at hips and ridges rather than trusting bedding mortar alone on an exposed slope. Battens get checked at the same time, because one rotted batten releases a whole course at once.
Walking a tile roof breaks tiles, which is why we limit foot traffic, work off ridge boards, and count what we cracked on the invoice. A contractor who leaves without telling you they broke six pieces has left you six leaks that arrive in three years. Keep a pallet of your profile somewhere dry if you can, since discontinued shapes are the hardest part of any tile repair in this market.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ring-shank deck fasteners, factory starter course, hemmed drip edge, self-adhered underlayment, laminated asphalt shingles, 24-gauge standing seam steel — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve West Valley City and nearby communities including Taylorsville, Kearns, Magna, Copperton.

Materials, equipment and how we do tile roofing
The difference between tile roofing that lasts and tile roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with ring-shank deck fasteners, factory starter course, hemmed drip edge, self-adhered underlayment, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every West Valley City job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the west Salt Lake Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
