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.

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.

How much does a roof replacement cost in Phoenix?

It depends on size, material, and roof style. Shingle roofs average $8,000–$12,000. Tile reroofs (underlayment replacement) can run $12,000–$20,000+. Foam roofs vary by square footage.

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.
