REGIONAL GUIDE
High Desert Roofing in Moab
In Moab, sun, heat and big day-to-night temperature swings do most of the damage, with wind and blowing grit adding wear. Metal roofing, UV-resistant materials and well-sealed penetrations hold up best.

Desert Conditions and Their Effects
What we look for on Moab roofs.
| Condition | Effect | What helps |
|---|---|---|
| Intense UV | Dries out shingles, sealants, pipe boots | UV-resistant materials, metal |
| Heat & temperature swings | Expansion and contraction | Clip-fastened metal, correct fastening |

| Seasonal storms | Heavy rain, drainage overload | Clear drainage paths, sound flashing |

Material Choices
Metal roofing is a strong fit for desert exposure. Asphalt works when chosen and installed with UV and wind in mind.
03
Commercial and Low-Slope Roofs
Many Moab commercial buildings have low-slope roofs where drainage and seams matter most. See commercial roofing.
