BARTILE BARTILE IS A local, family-owned business that’s been perfecting the art of premium roof tiles for the past 76 years. 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. “We can create a shake or slate tile that looks like the real thing but will last more than 75 years without the fire hazard or maintenance issues,” says Nick Evans, general manager. “With our gable options, designers and homeowners 7 2 5 N . 1000 Wes t, Ce nt e rv i l l e 8 0 1 -2 95- 3443 b ar t i l e.co m
can create a true shake or slate roof at a fraction of the price.” In addition to manufacturing the tiles, they also provide expert installation services in Northern Utah. Bartile concrete tiles are lightweight enough to go on any new construction or replace an old roof. Homeowners and designers can custom blend colors from some of Bartile’s 700 colors or create one of their own. “You are only limited by your imagination,” Evans says.
Ask the Expert WHAT SETS YOUR WORK APART? We are the only tile manufacturer that makes custom colors and designs. Our customers take pictures of old shake roofs or even 100-year-old French clay tile, and we match them in our lightweight roofing tile.
HOW DO YOU DEFINE SUCCESS? By the size of the smiles on our customers’ faces. We pride ourselves in being able to create the exact look they want. It’s so satisfying to see a customer look at their roof like it was a new sports car.
WHAT INTRIGUES YOU MOST ABOUT YOUR INDUSTRY? Many architectural styles have very steep, pitched roofs that give us a larger canvas. We see our roofs as works of art that others can’t replicate.

Then, he adds color in areas and items that are easy to change, such as art and accessories. For example, bright colors in pillows and bedding can be easily and affordably updated.
GREGG HODSON / OWNER

WHAT INSPIRES YOU? The changing seasons. They give me and my clients a way to add some fun into their spaces. Customizing a large ottoman in a colorful fabric, or reupholstering an accent chair in a bold pattern gives you the freedom to refresh for the season without having to redesign the entire space.
IMPORTANT DESIGN SPLURGE: Original art. It becomes the heart of the home and something that can never be replicated, making your home truly unique to you.

JEF F L AN D RY DESIG N EVERY DAY AT Jeff Landry Design is different. We have such a variety of clients from all over the world and every project has its own unique story. Variety is, in fact, the spice of our lives. This year we are working on projects in Deer Valley, Utah, San Francisco, California, Paradise Valley, Arizona, and Old Greenwich, Connecticut. Deer Valley is a variety from Western contemporary to traditional European ski house for clients from London. San Francisco is clean, architectural and filled with classic furniture pieces. Old Greenwich is transforming a heavy traditional interior to a more comfortable mix which includes a contemporary flair. And Paradise Valley is an explosion of color and colonial Mexican and Portuguese styles. With all that said, we also work in the northern valleys of Utah. We are not formula design, nor are we cookie-cutter design. You can feel assured, if you choose to work with Jeff Landry Design, that you will receive your own creation. One that speaks to you and fills your need for home.
JEFF LANDRY / OWNER
Ask the Expert WHAT SETS YOUR WORK APART? We create projects through a process of contrasts and values. Placing a few very important pieces with more neutral selections (whether that be fabric, color, furniture style, etc.) creates what we believe is a project with a depth of character and what we refer to as “soul."
WHAT INSPIRES YOU? Life. The changes in seasons and the contrasting colors in leaves as they change. The daily struggle of life and people’s resilience. Relationships with clients, their sense of family and home. And anyone with a strong point of view and great style.
WHAT PRODUCT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT RIGHT NOW? It’s all in the details. Add tape in interesting ways to pillows or a braided cord to finish the edges of duvet covers. Insert contrasting fabric into a visible seam in fabric. Obvious transitions between materials and those little touches create a much more custom and elegant finished product.
