Scottsdale Roof Replacement

Tile Roof Replacement In Scottsdale

Tile is one of the most popular roof types in Arizona and for good reason : they are durable, safe and have a long lifespan. However, it’s the paper underlayment that needs to be maintained and is always at risk of becoming damaged when tiles are dislodged or broken. The underlayment usually has a lifespan of 15 years or more, but during the summer months when temps reach well past 110 degrees, it will dry and become brittle. This of course, can lead to water finding its way into your house though gaps in the wood decking or spaces around seals. 

The process of replacing a tile roof in Scottsdale is straightforward and often only takes a few days to complete. After completing the initial inspections, our team will schedule the date to begin the work and coordinate the delivery of materials. Our roofers will arrive on the date and begin by removing tiles from one section of your roof at a time, replacing the underlayment and looking for additional damage. As each section is finished, the tiles are replaced and the work continues on another area until the job is complete.

If you are unsure when the last time an inspection was performed on your tile roof, we highly recommend that you contact an experienced, professional contractor to provide one. A simple repair can sometimes mean the difference between another year without storm damage and your kitchen becoming a swimming pool.

It can be difficult to spot damage to tile roofs, but some visible signs of damage are: 

• Broken or missing tiles on your roof
• Shifted or broken rain gutters
• Clear damage to satellite dishes and AC units
• Interior water spots on the ceiling or in corners
• Debris on the roof

Shingle Roof Replacement In Scottsdale

Similar to tile, shingle roofs are a very popular roofing type in Scottsdale and can easily hide damage that can result in damage during a storm. 

Shingles have a lifespan of 25+ years but are not as durable as tile when it comes to dealing with strong weather and powerful winds. Frequently monsoon season in Scottsdale comes with hail storms that will puncture shingles and allow water to gather underneath and eventually flow into your home. 

These small punctures are almost impossible to see with your naked eye from ground level which is why it’s imperative that you have a Scottsdale roofing contractor come out to inspect your roof as soon as possible after a hail storm passes through your neighborhood. 

Additionally, you may see that sheets or ‘rows’ of shingles have been dislodged or are out of place. This would be another indicator that your roof needs to be repaired or replaced. 

The process of replacing a shingle roof is very similar to replacing a tile roof, but with a few small differences. For a shingle roof, it’s important to remove all of the old shingles first, then replace the underlayment, and finally, lay up the new shingles. The whole process usually only takes 2-3 days and you are free to stay in your home the entire time.

The most obvious signs of damage to your shingle roof will be:

• Lifted, torn or missing shingles
• Entire section of shingles blown over
• Debris on on the roof
• Shingles on the ground

However, just because you do not see the damage, doesn’t mean you’re in the clear. If a storm has passed and your neighborhood experienced any hail at all, it’s important that you contact a fully licensed roofing contractor from Scottsdale to complete a visual inspection.

Foam & Specialty Roof Replacement In Scottsdale

Certain types of specialty roofs can also hide damage very well because of their color, texture or design. The same rules apply here when it comes to damage from a storm or from old age: if you haven’t had an inspection done in recent memory, then get one done before the next storm season comes along. 

If you catch the damage early enough, you can avoid the headache of major repairs and prevent loss of property.
