We had age and storm damage to the two roofs of our commercial property. Olympus Roofing responded quickly, providing a comprehensive and knowledgeable evaluation which included options for the roof structure, including the skylights which … More were in need of repair.
The Olympus crews were on time, courteous and efficient, and finished on schedule. They rate top notch in our book, and we will not hesitate to recommend them and use them again. -
Olympus Roofing is awesome. I called them in the morning, and had a quote that same evening for gutters. Cason answered all my calls and texts immediately. Hands down the most detailed, best quote I’ve ever seen. He took pictures, and highlighted … More exactly where our gutters and downspouts needed to be. Not only that, but he made us a video explaining every detail. My husband was so impressed and that’s saying something. I walked away not having a single question and feeling completely confident that they’re professionals. That’s when you know a company is doing something right. I would recommend Olympus Roofing to anyone.

Estimator was friendly, quick, and informative without being too pushy. They installed the roof less than a week after we signed, and they removed the old roof, installed the new roof, and cleaned up within a day. They communicated well … More throughout the experience.
We had a leak in our old roof that necessitated a replacement. Insurance unfortunately wouldn't cover it. Even though paying out of pocket for a new roof is rough, Olympus offered competitive rates for competitive products. They installed a new ~3000 sq ft roof with valley metal, ridge vents, and Owens Corning Duration shingles (6 nails). -
Olympus Roofing was very professional , responsive and replaced our roof with a High Quality Shingle for a very competitive price. I give them very high marks and have passed along their name to close friends and neighbors. As … More an added bonus, they were just pleasant folks! Dan M
Ice Dam Removal / Heat Cable / Snow Retention Services Salt Lake City
As local Salt Lake City roofers, Olympus Roofing understands that our community receives it’s fair share of rain, hail, sleet and snow. According to the National Weather Service, the city of Salt Lake has received over 400 inches of snow during the 2022-2023 winter season, well above the national average. While white winters may be beautiful; snow, sleet and ice can cause a bit of havoc on your property, especially your roof.
The Olympus Roofing team has diligently been serving the greater Salt lake area for the last 20 years and in all those years we’ve recognized that ice dams are a common problem for homeowners in the area.
What Is An Ice Dam?
Dangers of Ice Dams
Ice dams place tremendous pressure on the roof structure of your home. The moisture of these dams also significantly damages your shingles, gutters and downspouts. Melting ice may cause leakages in your home if there are gaps and holes in your roofing system. And for those who are not careful, you also risk being hit by falling icicles and large chunks of ice breaking off as it heats up.
Ice dams form when warmth from within the home melts the bottom layer of the snow on the roof, sending water trickling down to the edge of the roof. Upon crossing the “heat wall” or an area where heat is no longer escaping the structure, the water freezes, clogging gutter and causing the water to pool. This may allow water to spider under the shingles as it freezes, eventually finding its way into the home. Installation of a bituminous waterproofing membrane referred to as “ice guard” alleviates this problem.
Effective Ice Dam Removal By Olympus Roofing
At Olympus Roofing, we believe that the safest and most effective way to remove ice dams is with the power of steam. Fighting fire with fire as some would say. The ice dam steaming system that we use functions using high temperatures but low pressure. The high temperatures effectively and efficiently melts the ice on your roof, this water either evaporates or drains away from your home. The low pressure of the steaming system protects your shingles as high pressure systems tend to chip away at your roofing materials.
