How long does a roof last in Phoenix?

In our desert climate, shingles last 15–20 years, while tile roofs can last 50+ years but the underlayment usually needs replacement after 20–25 years. Flat foam roofs last decades if you recoat every 5–7 years.

What’s the biggest cause of roof damage in Arizona?

UV exposure from the sun. It dries out shingles, weakens underlayment, and cracks sealants faster than in cooler regions. Monsoon storms with wind and debris are a close second.

Do tile roofs really last forever?

The clay or concrete tile itself can last a lifetime, but the felt or synthetic underlayment beneath it won’t. Expect an underlayment replacement every 20–25 years.
