Briggs Roofing

Briggs Roofing was started in 1983 — that’s stated openly on the company homepage and echoed in the Expertise.com directory entry. The original yard sits at 435 N Yellowstone Highway in Rigby, Idaho, the small farming town northeast of Idaho Falls where the company was founded. They’ve since opened a second location in St. George, though the Utah street address isn’t posted on the website. By 2026, that puts Briggs at four decades in the trade.

A four-generation family shop

The company describes itself as four generations of the Briggs family. None of those family members are named publicly on the pages I could reach, which is unusual for a shop that leans this hard on the family-owned framing — but the longevity is real, and the manufacturer certifications back it up. Briggs holds GAF MasterElite (the top installer tier for GAF shingles, audited on installation history), CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster, and Firestone’s No Leak Award for commercial flat-roof work. Those aren’t pay-to-play badges. They require a track record.

Why an Idaho roofer planted a flag in St. George

The interesting thing about Briggs in a 435 register is the geography of the move itself. They are an Idaho company — Rigby is roughly six hours north of St. George — that decided Washington County was worth a permanent satellite. That decision says more about how the Southern Utah roofing market has matured over the last decade than any number of “fastest-growing region in the country” articles. When a four-decade Idaho roofer opens a Utah branch, the math has to pencil out for them, and it has.

The service mix is full-line: residential and commercial, replacement and repair, hail and wind damage, roof tune-ups, and a proprietary “WeatherXT” system marketed for harsher exposure. Posted hours are Tuesday through Friday on the Idaho side; the St. George desk hours may differ and are worth confirming on the call.

For the 435, Briggs is a different category of entry — not a homegrown St. George shop, but a long-tenured, certified, family-named trade business that takes the market seriously enough to staff it. For a homeowner or small-commercial owner who wants a contractor with a paper trail older than most of the local subdivisions, Briggs is one of the few options that can actually document four decades.
