Roofing Contractor in Mountain View, WY

It does. Mountain View sits at about 6,800 feet at the south end of the Bridger Valley, the gateway to the Uinta Mountains, per the US Geological Survey. Mountain weather arrives sooner and colder here than down on the interstate, so a roof goes through more freezing and thawing in a season. The detail at the eaves matters more here for that reason.

Start with the ridge and the hips. Weather Spark describes winters here as freezing and windy, and the open Bridger Valley gives a gust a long run at the rooftops with nothing to slow it down. From the ground, look for missing tabs, shingle corners standing up, exposed nail heads, and gutters pulling away from the fascia. Anything you can see from below deserves a closer look.

Yes. Our documented local record includes the Mountain View High School sidewalk replacement — Uinta County School District 4, completed May 2018, listed in our federal Statement of Qualifications. We work across Uinta County from Evanston, so Mountain View and the Bridger Valley are part of the regular route, not a special trip.

Freeze-thaw at altitude. Water soaks into the concrete, freezes overnight, and expands, and at about 6,800 feet at the south end of the Bridger Valley, per the US Geological Survey, that cycle repeats all winter. Slabs then lift at the joints. We do flatwork here as well as roofing.

It adds to it. Snow reflects up to 80% of ultraviolet light back upward, per the US Environmental Protection Agency, and at about 6,800 feet the incoming UV is already strong. With roughly 40 inches of snow a year here, per US Climate Data, shingles take sun from both directions.

Yes. We serve Mountain View and the surrounding Bridger Valley, including Fort Bridger, Urie, Robertson and Lyman. Mountain View is the valley's gateway to the Uinta Mountains, per the US Geological Survey, and the addresses sitting farther along that climb see winter arrive first.

Late spring through early fall. Shingles need warmth to seal. Mountain View sits at about 6,800 feet, higher than Lyman down the valley at about 6,700, and closest to the Uinta Mountains, per the US Geological Survey, so its working season closes earlier than the rest of the Bridger Valley.

Off the roof, and quickly. Metal sheds instead of holding, which matters at about 6,800 feet with roughly 40 inches of snow a year, per US Climate Data. Plan where that load lands, though — over a walkway, a doorway, or a parked vehicle. Homeowners around Mountain View and Fort Bridger ask about metal more each year.

It holds snow rather than shedding it. With about 40 inches a year at roughly 6,800 feet, per US Climate Data, a low-slope roof near the Uinta front carries weight for months. We check the seams, the drainage and the edge detail, and TPO or EPDM membrane usually suits these buildings.

Drifting. Mountain View sits in an open high valley at about 6,800 feet, per the US Geological Survey, and there is little between the Uinta front and the rooftops to break the wind. Blowing snow settles out on the sheltered slope, so one side of a roof can carry far more weight than the other.

Once the valley clears, usually late spring. About 40 inches of snow a year, per US Climate Data, hides damage for months, and at roughly 6,800 feet on the Uinta front that cover lingers. When it goes, ice-dam staining, lifted flashing and missing tabs all show at once.

It can. Fort Bridger dates to 1843, per Wyoming State Parks, Historic Sites and Trails, and the properties spread around it range from very old to newly built. We check the deck and how many layers are already up there before recommending anything, because two neighbors here can need different work.
