For the vast majority of homeowners, it’s difficult to determine whether or not your roof actually needs to be replaced or repaired. Heat is a major contributing factor when it comes to roof damage and Phoenix and Tempe roofs experience regular intervals of high temperatures. Exposure to UV rays causes shingles to deteriorate and leave your home vulnerable to further destruction. Our trained roofing contractors will assess your roof and look for telltale signs of damage such as shingle curling, algae growth, damaged ashing, missing shingles or granules, shingle buckling, or rotting. We’ll then provide you with a detailed and documented estimate to help you make the right choice for you home and budget.

A well-maintained roof built with quality materials can last homeowners decades. Different materials have different lifespans – for instance, a roof built from clay or concrete tile will last significantly longer than a roof built from asphalt tile.

It is important to consider the time of year when planning your roof replacement. As with a majority of the state, milder temperatures in fall provide better working conditions for roofers in Phoenix, making September – November the best months for roof replacement. That said, if your home was impacted by a storm last week or last year, it’s critical that you have your roof inspected annually.

Since Arizona experiences hot summers and mild winters, it’s best to choose roofing materials that can withstand high temperatures and resist damage from sun exposure. Here are some roofing materials that are well-suited for homes in Phoenix:

• Tile – Tile roofs are a popular choice in Phoenix because they are durable, fire-resistant, and can reflect the sun’s heat, helping to keep homes cool.

• Metal – Metal roofs are another great option for Phoenix homes because they can reflect the sun’s heat and are highly durable. They can also be coated with reflective finishes that help to reduce energy costs.

• Asphalt shingles – While asphalt shingles may not be as heat-resistant as tile or metal roofs, they can still provide adequate protection for Phoenix homes. Look for asphalt shingles with reflective coatings to help keep your home cool and reduce energy costs.

Ultimately, the best roofing material for your home will depend on your budget, preferences, and the specific needs of your home.
