Profile Draft
Rio Roofing is based in Washington, just east of St. George at 236 Stonehedge Dr, and run by Nathanael and Sam Zúñiga, a husband-and-wife team who met in high school and married in 2012. Their own About page tells that part plainly. The founding year of the business itself is not posted publicly — what's clear is that Nathanael came in from a construction background after engineering degrees and Sam handles the operations and customer side from a business management background.
They cover the full Southern Utah footprint a 435 register cares about: St. George, Washington, Santa Clara, Ivins, Hurricane, La Verkin, Toquerville, and up to Cedar City, where they keep a separate phone line (435-319-0022) and a dedicated landing page. Materials run the normal Southern Utah mix — asphalt shingle, concrete tile, metal, and TPO/flat for commercial — plus repairs and free inspections, which is the table-stakes offer in this market.
What distinguishes Rio in the local field is closer to tone than to product. They're a smaller, owner-run shop; reviews cluster on Facebook and on Best Pros In Town rather than the high-volume Google review walls of the bigger outfits. They are members of the Southern Utah Home Builders Association, which gives a third-party anchor on their being a real, dues-paying local trade business and not a marketing front.
One thing worth flagging for any register entry: the Cedar City service page lists a license number formatted as "ROC 362572," which is Arizona Registrar of Contractors syntax, not Utah DOPL syntax. That may mean Rio also operates in Arizona, or it may be a website error. Their Utah DOPL number is not displayed.
For someone scanning Southern Utah roofers, Rio reads like the version of the trade that's still small enough to have the owners on the phone and big enough to actually pull permits and run a real crew across two counties.
Unresolved Questions
- Confirm the Utah DOPL S280 license number; the only license-style number on the public site is in Arizona format.
- Confirm the founding year of the business (the marriage year is given but the company start date is not).
- Confirm whether Cedar City is staffed locally or covered out of the Washington yard.
