The questions we get every single week.

It depends on the roof system, the size and pitch, how much decking has to be replaced, and how many penetrations and transitions are involved — which is why nobody can give you a real number over the phone. We walk the roof, photograph it, and put a written estimate in front of you.

Because tile is a rain shield, not the waterproofing layer. The underlayment beneath it is what keeps water out, and Arizona heat and UV age that layer far faster than the tile above it. Perfect-looking tile over failed underlayment is the most common roof condition in the Valley.

Shorter than the number on the packaging, because those ratings assume a milder climate. Tile itself lasts decades, but the underlayment under it typically runs roughly 15–25 years depending on the system. Asphalt shingle life is shortened by deck heat and UV. Standing seam metal is the longest-lived residential option here.

If the failure is local — one valley, a few tiles, a bad pipe boot — repair it. If the underlayment is brittle across every slope, repairs are money spent twice. We show you photos of your own roof so you can see which situation you are in rather than take our word for it.

Usually, yes. Concrete and clay tile routinely outlast two or three underlayments. On a lift-and-re-lay we stack your tile, replace everything underneath, and re-set the same tile — so you keep the roofline and the colour you already have approved.

Penetrations, not the field of the roof. UV-cracked rubber pipe-jack boots are the single most common culprit, followed by failed valley metal, parapet and wall flashing, ridge and hip mortar that has opened up, and anything a later trade bolted to the roof.

Officially June 15 through September 30. The damage comes from microburst outflow winds — fifty or sixty miles an hour with almost no warning — driving heavy rain sideways under tile and under lifted shingle edges. It is why a roof can be fine in June and open in July.

Yes. Modified bitumen, cap sheet and sprayed polyurethane foam, plus re-coats. A lot of Valley homes have a low-slope section behind the tile — over a patio, an addition, or a whole mid-century house — and that is where a good number of leaks start.

It is one of the best. Standing seam sheds monsoon rain fast, handles wind-driven debris without cracking, reflects a serious share of the solar load off the deck, and has no exposed fasteners to back out under UV. It costs more up front and it is often the last roof the house needs.

Yes. Call or text (602) 794-5224 and we will come out, walk the roof, and give you photos and a written estimate.

Call and ask — it depends on the week and on whether you have active water coming in. Storm damage and active leaks get prioritized over planned work.

Yes. Low-slope membrane, coatings and standing seam metal on commercial and light-industrial roofs, alongside our residential work.

We are based at 3336 W Missouri Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85017 and work the Phoenix metro — Phoenix, Glendale, Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Peoria, Surprise, Avondale, Goodyear, Buckeye.

Send them over WhatsApp to (602) 794-5224. Photos are a good way to start, but anything that matters still needs someone on the roof — you cannot assess underlayment from the ground.
