Do I need to replace my roof if it’s leaking?

Not always. A single leak might just mean a broken tile, slipped shingle, or flashing problem. But if the roof is older, leaks are often a sign it’s time for a bigger repair or replacement.

What’s the best roof type for Arizona homes?

Tile is most common, but foam roofs are excellent for flat areas, and metal is growing in popularity for its durability and reflectivity.

What does a roof inspection include?

We check for broken or missing shingles/tiles, cracked sealants, flashing issues, underlayment exposure, ponding water (flat roofs), and interior signs of leaks.

What’s the difference between repair and reroof?

Repairs fix isolated issues like broken tiles or flashing. A reroof replaces the entire roofing system — shingles, tiles, or underlayment. Repairs are cheaper short-term, reroofs are long-term solutions.

How do I know if my flat roof needs a recoat?

If the coating looks chalky, thin, or has cracks, it’s time. Waiting too long lets water soak into the foam, leading to costly repairs.

What are signs my roof needs replacement?

Frequent leaks, brittle or curling shingles, excessive granule loss, exposed underlayment on tile roofs, or just age (20+ years for shingles, 25+ years for tile underlayment).
