About Cowboy State Metal Roofing

Cowboy State Metal Roofing is a free, independent guide to metal roofing in Wyoming, built around the detail that decides most roofs here: how the system handles wind, in a state with no roofer license to fall back on.

What this site is

Cowboy State Metal Roofing is an information resource and a free matching service for Wyoming homeowners, from Casper and Cheyenne out to Jackson. We are not a roofing contractor, and no one here climbs a ladder. We publish plain, sourced answers about metal roofing in this state, and when a homeowner wants a bid, we connect them with an independent local roofer who does the work. The homeowner compares bids and makes the hire; that decision never sits with us.

The match costs the homeowner nothing. We are paid a referral fee by the professional we connect you with, never by you, and the fee does not change your price. The full mechanics are on how we make money.

Why a site like this exists in Wyoming

Two facts about this state made the site worth building. First, the wind: the Wyoming Climate Atlas from the State Climate Office puts Wyoming first in the nation in annual average wind speed at 12.9 mph, and wind uplift is the load a metal roof here is engineered against. Second, the rules: Wyoming has no statewide roofer license. The only statewide law aimed at roof work, Wyo. Stat. 40-12-701 through 40-12-706 (the Exterior Storm Damage Repair Contracts act, effective July 1, 2017), is consumer-contract protection. It requires disclosures and a cancellation window and bars deductible rebates, but it licenses nobody and tests nobody's competence.

Put those together and the homeowner carries the whole verification burden, in the state where fastening details matter most. That gap is what this site fills: the checks that replace a license (insurance certificates, manufacturer training), the wind and code numbers by county, and the licensing rules in the six cities that run their own programs. The one-page version is the Wyoming metal roofing guide.

How we source what we publish

Every specific claim on this site carries a link to where it comes from: state statutes, city and county building offices, the State Climate Office and the National Weather Service, or manufacturer engineering pages. Cost figures are cited to the contractor or manufacturer that published them and labeled that way, because pricing claims without a source are guesses. Where something cannot be verified, we say so or leave it out. Details carry dates because rules change.

What you will not find here: reviews we wrote ourselves, rankings of local companies, or claims that any roofer is endorsed by us. Wyoming gives homeowners no license to lean on, and we are not going to invent a substitute credential. We explain what to check and connect you with an independent professional; the checking described in the guide is still worth doing on anyone you hire, including a roofer we match you with.
