Utah storm activity in 2026
From March 1 through November 3, 2026, NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 12 preliminary reports of hail 1 inch or larger within 50 miles of the Utah cities we track. The largest stone near a tracked city was 2.00 inches (3 SSW Layton, Davis Co., UT, September 18, 2026).[3] Reports can overlap between nearby cities and are not a damage survey.
Common roofs and code notes in Utah
Asphalt shingles are the most common roof, with metal growing in popularity. Snow and freeze-thaw cycles make ice dams the classic problem, and the residential code requires an ice barrier at the eaves where ice damming is a known risk.[4] Spring and summer storms bring hail and straight-line wind. Permits come from your city, village, or county building department.

What homeowners say
I’m not one to post reviews but had to after this experience. I use to work with Statefarm Insurance in their fraud investigation unit and know every tactic roofing companies use. With that said, I got a guy who came to my door and offered a free roof inspection with [the contractor]. Knowing I don’t have damage due to walking my roof regularly, I figured I’d let the guy just to see what he’s about. Alex got on my roof and walked the entire thing taking photos and measurements. Anticipating a gimmick and sales approach once he came off the roof, he came to my door and asked for an email later sending me a “Roof Analysis” with pictures and typed detail stating my roof was near new condition with no damages adequate to any weather patterns. Furthermore, the guy engaged with my autistic son and talked to him as if they have been friends to find out Alex has an autistic uncle and actually cared outside his job stating the roof is a secondary focus, being the difference the world needs is first.
I would recommend this man to anyone for anything and will recommend him for all roofing inquiries I get.
[the contractor], you’ve got something here.
Had a man (Alex Jackson) last week come to our home to verify whether we had damage from a storm that passed while we were out of town. I am going to recommend him to everyone! Not only did he get on the roof (a day after surgery mind you!) but assured us the storm had missed our home then educated us the roof was nearing the end of its life and options. No pushy sales gimmick, just straight honesty! We have him going to my dad’s home this week. He was incredible, proved to us he was from the area and answered all of our questions FOR FREE. This is THE man you want on your roof!!!
