Utah-based roofing company advises Northern Utah homeowners to inspect their roofs after severe hail, rain, and lightning storms caused widespread damage.

Midvale, UT (PRUnderground) September 29th, 2026

BigHorn Roofing is a family-owned roofing and exterior contractor serving northern Utah. After a powerful storm system moved through the area on Friday, September 18, bringing heavy rain, hail, lightning, and localized flooding to communities across the Wasatch Front, the company is encouraging homeowners to act quickly. The company is providing homeowners with information about what to look for after the storm and when to seek professional help.

BigHorn Roofing holds GAF Master Elite® certification, a recognition held by only 2% of roofing contractors nationwide, and pairs that credential with over two decades of experience installing and repairing commercial and residential roofs. For homeowners affected by the storm, BigHorn can assess the roof's condition, document damage, and help them understand their roof repair options. BigHorn can also be a resource as they work through the insurance claims process.

"A storm like this one can cause a lot of damage that you may not see from the driveway," said Bryce Rose, President of BigHorn Roofing. "Missing shingles or damaged gutters may be easy to spot, but a bruised or cracked shingle can be much harder to see. If you have dents in your vehicles, damaged screens, or marks on siding, your roof may have damage as well."

Friday's storm moved across the region during the afternoon and evening, dropping hail up to golf-ball-sized in parts of Salt Lake, Davis, and Utah counties, along with heavy rainfall and frequent lightning. For some, the wind gusts accompanying the storm may be the bigger problem, as it can loosen or lift shingles. Rainfall can also expose weak points around flashing, vents, and gutter systems.

"The biggest mistake homeowners make after a storm is waiting," said Rose. "Scheduling an inspection early gives you more options and can prevent a small issue from becoming a bigger repair. It also gives you time to meet any deadlines your insurance company may have."

Homeowners can start the process by requesting a free roof inspection and estimate to document the current condition of their roof and discuss next steps with their insurance provider.

BigHorn Roofing has completed more than 4,000 roofing projects across Utah. It holds more than 500 five-star customer reviews, a track record the company credits to its educational, low-pressure approach with homeowners.
