To start the process of replacing your roof, the first step is to have all the necessary roofing supplies delivered to your home. The materials are usually dropped off either the afternoon before or the morning of your replacement.
The amount of supplies that will be delivered is determined by the size of your roof. When the materials arrive, they should be kept near the roof access point and in a dry location.
Before the contractor arrives, it’s important to clear the work area. This includes removing any cars from your driveway or garage to ensure that you can come and go without being blocked in and that your vehicle won’t be damaged during the process.
The next step in the process is to prepare your property for removing the old roof. This often involves tarping the ground in the dump zone and tarping off nearby shrubs and lawn ornaments to protect your property.
Once everything is covered, the work of removing your old roof begins. The work typically starts on the corner of your roof that is furthest from your driveway (or where the dumpster is situated). More often than not, the new roof prep begins while the rest of the old roof is being demolished.
After the tear-off is complete and any gutters have been cleaned up, installation of your new roof begins. Our contractors lay the underlayment and attach the drip edge after each section is prepped. From there, shingles are placed starting at the bottom of the roof and working towards the top. The ridge capping is installed after the shingles are finished being laid.
All vents and pipes required for the home’s ventilation system are one of the very last items our team completes.
Once the installation is complete, our team will make sure to clean up any mess made during the process. We’ll even use a powerful magnet to collect every last fallen nail to ensure your property is left in pristine condition.
Finally, our team performs a number of inspections of your newly installed roof. This includes checking all seals, flashing, and ensuring that the quality of the installation exceeds your expectations.
We pay extra attention to the areas that are known to cause leaks, namely around penetrations, skylights, chimneys, and air conditioning units to ensure all roof components are adequately protected and sealed.
Arizona’s tiled roofs are typically constructed using a variety of materials, each with its unique benefits and characteristics.
Concrete tiles, made from a blend of cement, sand, and water, are a popular choice due to their long lifespan of 50 to 100 years or more, fire-resistant properties, and sturdy nature.
On the other hand, clay tiles, crafted from natural clay and fired in kilns, are known for their timeless beauty, versatility, and durability, lasting up to 100 years.
Slate tiles, hewn from natural slate rock, offer a distinct texture and longevity, surviving between 75 to 200 years.
Metal tiles, made from steel, aluminum, or copper, are the most durable of the lot, capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions, and can last up to 70 years.
Finally, synthetic tiles, made from plastic and other materials, offer a more economical alternative to natural tiles, though they last only around 30 to 50 years, requiring low maintenance.
Residential properties in Arizona are typically adorned with shingle roofs, with three common types that stand out in the market:
The first type is asphalt shingles, made from a fiberglass mat that is coated with granules and asphalt. These shingles are a popular choice for homeowners due to their affordability and ease of installation. However, they have a limited lifespan of about 15 to 30 years.
Another type is wood shingles, crafted from various types of wood like cedar, wallaba, and teak, among others. These shingles provide a natural, rustic look that many homeowners adore. They last longer than asphalt shingles, with a lifespan of 30 to 80 years, depending on the type of wood used. However, they don’t offer much protection against fire.
Lastly, there are laminate shingles that are a durable option, lasting between 30 to 50 years. They are a combination of materials, including asphalt, designed to look like wood, clay, or slate shingles. This type of shingle offers a balance between durability and aesthetic appeal, making it a popular choice among homeowners.
Flat foam roofs, a popular roofing solution for flat or low-slope roofs, can endure the brutal Arizona sun for around 15 to 20 years. These roofs are primarily composed of closed-cell polyurethane foam, which an experienced operator applies as a liquid onto the roof deck. The foam rapidly expands and subsequently solidifies into a seamless layer of insulation, providing both insulation and waterproofing capabilities.
Interestingly, this foam’s protective nature is only one of its many benefits. The foam is also coated with a topcoat spray, increasing its durability and resistance to the harsh desert elements.
What’s more, residents prefer flat foam roofs because they offer affordability, high insulation value, and low maintenance requirements. With a writing style that is both complex and varied, the unpredictability of what comes next is sure to captivate any reader.

If a covered peril like fire, wind, tornado, hurricane, hailstorm, or haboob damages the roof, homeowners insurance usually covers roof repair. Lack of maintenance, negligence, or regular wear and tear will not be covered by insurance.
The age and material of the roof determine the depreciated value at the time of damage, which determines the compensation. Keep in mind that most insurance companies only cover the roof’s real worth, not its full replacement cost.
Choosing to repair or replace your roof involves assessing many criteria. Age, condition, and expense determine the optimum action. If repairs cost 30 percent or more of a new roof, a replacement may be recommended. Age-related wear and tear may necessitate replacing a 20-year-old roof within five to 10 years.
Roof condition also affects whether it should be repaired or replaced. Minor repairs may extend the roof’s life by five years, while major concerns with shingles and flashing may require replacement. To choose the best solution for you and your property, thoroughly consider all considerations.
In Arizona’s neighborhoods, you’re most likely to see these types of roofing systems:
The lifespan of Arizona roofs varies depending on the type, installation, maintenance, and environment.
Many things affect Arizona roof installation costs. A new roof for a typical Arizona single-family home costs $10,000 to $20,000, averaging $15,000. Roofing material affects cost. Metal and slate cost more than wood or asphalt shingles. Labor might contribute for 60 percent of the cost of installing a new roof, while materials account for 40 percent.
Arizona roof installation costs depend on home size and surface area. Larger homes cost more to roof. The quote also includes roof removal costs. Old roof removal costs $1,000 to $1,500.
