BARTILE

ADD CURB APPEAL with a customized roof from Bartile. “We have more than 700 custom colors, designs and textures, so we can literally create anything,” says Nick Evans, general man ager. “If you see something you like, bring us a photo and we’ll make it for you.”

Bartile is a local, family-owned business that’s been perfecting the art of premium roof tiles since 1942. Incombustible, Bartile roof tiles far surpass a class-A fire rating and have a 75-year warranty. Some styles even have a class-4 hail rating.

In addition to manufacturing the tiles, they also provide expert installation services in Northern Utah. Bartile roof tiles are made locally and designed to withstand Utah’s harsh climate and freeze and thaw cycles. “You can save as much as 200% when you compare the cost of replacing your asphalt roof every 20 years,” says Evans.

Environmental sustainability. Our eco-friendly roofs last 75–100 years and when it’s time to replace them, we can recycle every material. In addition, our lightweight tiles are made from more than 50% recyclable materials.

EXCITED ABOUT

We’re partnering with Powder Watts to help people save a huge chunk of change on heating cable bills. Powder Watts offers a smart camera that can be mounted on the roof and watch for ice and snow build up. So, it keeps your heating cable off until you need it. Some power companies are offering substantial rebates to offset installation costs.

FRESH IDEAS

Yorkshire Cottage hand-made tiles recreate the look of both the rough hand-hewn slate and hand-split wood shake of old. Because the tiles are handmade in different widths and varied lengths, they create unparalleled texture and beauty.

“We’re celebrating our 80th anniversary. We’re one of the few family businesses that has lasted three generations. Some of the first roofs we installed are still holding up; I have stood on roofs installed in 1942. Our biggest design secret is endurance—that’s why we offer a 75-year warranty.”

Preservation. Rather than take a house down, preserve it. Keep the stained glass windows, refinish the hardwood floors. Find the purpose of the space and stay within the integrity of the original architecture and location. Then add pops of color in rugs, pillows and artwork. It’s a great way to preserve while adding modern flair.

People want a place of gathering, a welcome space for extended families. We’re seeing dining tables that can seat 12 or more comfortably. More and more, people want a party pad and open doors to swimming pools where entire families can play.

“Connecting with each client to see the big picture. How do they use the space on a Friday night or a Sunday morn ing? I ask about family dynamics, how many kids, grandkids, pets and their everyday lives. Then, I create a space that functions around them to bring their vision of home to life.”

BRANDON BODELL CONSTRUCTION

BRANDON BODELL began his career framing homes in Deer Valley. Over the past two decades, his passion has expanded from those humble roots to building and remodeling some of the most breathtaking custom homes in Utah.

The secret sauce is his hands-on approach. “I am a smaller boutique shop, so I can meet clients on-site when they want to meet,” he says. “They can ask cost questions and make decisions right there. No lag time waiting for a response.”

Rising interest rates and inflation means high prices for labor and material. That’s why it is

even more important to find a contractor that is as financially invested in your project as you are. “I shop materials to make sure that my clients get the best pricing,” he says. “We’re team members. I want to figure out how to make their budgets work.”

Everyone wants an easy building process, so Bodell hires some of the best designers and craftsmen in the state. “Our core group of inte rior designers, suppliers and contractors deliver high-quality service,” he says.

“ We specialize in the unique—every home needs to tell its own story. I bring out elements of my client’s personality and construct a home that reflects who they are. We all work as a team to make sure the design flows and the client is completely atisfied with the end result. ”

The team—Childs along with senior designers Megan Hunter and Heather Taylor—envisions each client living in their home. “Every person is different, every house is different,” says Childs. “We don’t replicate.

HüGA Home Design is known for its con temporary desert styling with a pueblo influence driven by the stunning landscape of southern Utah. “People are always surprised by our level of detail,” says Childs. “It’s a personal and emotional experience, and we offer more than design, we provide the comfort people crave.”

A full-service interior design firm for fine homes, the team focuses primarily on custom homes. “Every home we create is as unique as its homeowner,” she says. “Most of our clients are moving to Utah, so we ask about how they live and entertain, special uses for the home and their aesthetic.” Those conversations help guide the plan. “People want livable luxury,” she says. “Once we understand a client's vision, we go to work to make that functional.”

“We love working with clients who like us to think out of the box and who want to create something unique. One of our clients lives in Spain but is building a Scottish castle in Alpine. It has a floating circular staircase that is built by an artisan from Sweden who is retiring once he finishes it. This is one of his last masterpieces. We are also installing unique and rarely used Amazonite countertops. These kinds of homes are historic and will stand the test of time.”
