Home upgrades in Herriman — honest, no pressure
Herriman has grown faster than almost any city its size in the country, from about 1,500 residents in 2000 to roughly 60,000 today, with most homes built in the 2010s and 2020s. That growth means newer roofs and builder-grade windows across most of the city, plus a water supply that swings hard between local well sources and regional supply depending on the season. Koken Home has adjusted its approach block by block accordingly.

What matters for homes in Herriman
Water hardness that depends on which well feeds your street
Herriman blends local groundwater wells, some running 25-60 gpg, with much softer Jordan Valley regional supply around 10-15 gpg, and shifts toward regional-only water starting mid-October to cut down on hardness. That means two homes a few blocks apart can have noticeably different water. Koken tests before recommending a softener size instead of applying one number citywide.
Newer homes, but builder-grade materials
With a median construction year of 2012 and more than half of homes built in the 2010s, Herriman's housing stock is young, but that also means a lot of standard builder-grade windows and entry-level roofing shingles installed at the original build. Those materials typically underperform a proper upgrade well before the house itself needs any other major work.
Higher elevation, higher wind design standard
Herriman sits around 5,000 feet, notably higher than Riverton or Bluffdale, on the foothills and bench toward the Oquirrh Mountains. The city's building code reflects that exposure with a 115-mph wind design load, higher than Riverton's 105 mph. Koken installs roofing and racking rated for that standard, especially in bench-adjacent neighborhoods.
Solar permitting moves at a predictable pace
Herriman requires both a building permit and an electrical permit for rooftop solar, along with a roof framing plan and seismic attachment details, and typical approval runs about two weeks. Koken builds that timeline into every Herriman solar project so it's not a surprise.

Straight answers for Herriman homeowners
Why does my water seem harder at some times of year than others?
Herriman actually changes its water source seasonally. Local wells, some as hard as 55-60 gpg, supply more of the mix during peak season, while the city shifts toward softer regional Jordan Valley supply (roughly 10-15 gpg) starting in mid-October specifically to reduce hardness for residents. If you're on well-heavy supply, a softener sized for the higher end of that range makes the most sense.
How long does it take to get solar approved in Herriman?
Typical approval for a rooftop solar permit in Herriman runs about two weeks once a complete application, including the roof framing plan and seismic attachment details, is submitted. Koken accounts for that timeline when scheduling installs so it doesn't catch homeowners off guard.
My house was only built a few years ago — why would I need new windows or a roof already?
A lot of Herriman's rapid growth came with standard builder-grade windows and entry-level shingles at the original build, which is common for new-construction tract homes. Those materials are functional but often aren't the most efficient or durable option available, so an upgrade can make sense well before the house is old by any other measure.
Does Herriman's higher elevation affect roofing or solar installs?
It can. Herriman sits roughly 5,000 feet up on the bench toward the Oquirrh Mountains, and the city's building code sets a 115-mph wind design load, higher than lower-elevation neighbors like Riverton. Koken installs to that standard, which matters most in exposed, west-facing parts of the city.
