Estimates & getting started

What happens between calling us and having a number in your hand.

How do I get a free roofing estimate in Arizona?

What actually happens during a roof inspection?

We look at the roof surface, the flashing and penetrations, the drainage, and — where access allows — the underside for signs of water tracking. You get told what we found, what needs doing now, what can wait, and what it will cost. If nothing needs doing, we say that too.

What to expect

How long does the whole process take, start to finish?

Five steps: the initial call, a free onsite inspection and written estimate, project planning and material ordering once you approve, the installation or repair itself, then cleanup and a final walkthrough with you. Timelines depend on the size of the job and material lead times, which we confirm at the planning stage.

How we work

Do I need to be home for the inspection?

It helps but it is not essential. Being there means you can point out what you have noticed and walk the findings with the inspector on the spot. If you cannot be there, we will call you through the findings and send the written estimate.

Do you handle both homes and commercial buildings?

Yes. We run four service lines — residential roofing, commercial roofing, and repair and maintenance for both — and the same certified team covers all of them.

All services

What roofing systems do you install?

Tile, asphalt shingle, foam, flat and rolled roofing, plus roof repair and full roof installation. Which system suits your property depends on the existing structure, the pitch and how the building is used — that is part of what the inspection settles.

Cost, payment & financing

Straight talk about money, before anyone climbs a ladder.

How much does a new roof cost in Arizona?

There is no honest flat answer — cost is driven by the size and pitch of the roof, the system you choose, how much of the existing roof has to come off, and what the decking looks like underneath. That is exactly why the estimate is free and written: you get a real number for your roof rather than a range off a website.

Do you offer roof financing?

Yes. We work with over 24 lending partners offering no-interest and low monthly payment options. Which programs you qualify for depends on the lender, so we walk you through the ones that apply to your project.

Financing options

Can I finance a repair, or only a full replacement?

Both. Financing is not limited to full replacements — repairs can be financed too, which matters when a leak will not wait for the right month.

Get prequalified

What payment methods do you accept?

Major credit cards, debit cards and checks. For larger projects we can discuss a payment schedule. Either way you get clear financial information before any work begins.

Is the cheapest quote usually the right one?

Not reliably. The two things that separate quotes are what is included — underlayment, flashing, disposal, decking repair — and whether the contractor is licensed and insured to do the work. Ask every bidder for their ROC number and compare what is actually in the scope before comparing totals.

How to compare contractors

Your roof in the Arizona climate

Heat, monsoon and dust do specific things to a roof out here.

How long does a roof last in Arizona?

Less than the same roof would last in a milder climate, because UV, heat cycling and monsoon are all working on it at once. On a tile roof the tile itself often outlives the underlayment beneath it by a wide margin — which is why an Arizona tile roof can look perfect from the street and still be due for work.

What heat does to a roof

Why does Arizona sun damage a roof so badly?

Sustained UV breaks down the materials that keep water out, and the daily expand-and-contract cycle from extreme surface temperatures works fasteners loose and opens seams. Damage starts on the surface and at the details — flashing, boots, seams — long before it shows up as a ceiling stain.

Heat-resistant materials

What should I do about my roof before monsoon season?

Get it looked at before the first storm, not after. Monsoon finds the weaknesses that were already there — lifted tiles, tired underlayment, blocked drainage, failed sealant around penetrations. A pre-season inspection is the cheapest form of storm preparation there is.

Monsoon preparation

Do dust storms actually damage a roof?

Yes, in two ways: wind-driven grit abrades roof surfaces and coatings over time, and haboob-strength winds lift tiles and shingles at the edges. Dust also packs into valleys and drainage, so the next rain has nowhere to go.

Dust storm damage

Will a cool or reflective roof lower my power bill?

A reflective roof surface reduces how much heat the roof absorbs and passes into the building, which reduces the load on your cooling. How much you save depends on the building, the insulation and the ventilation — the roof is one part of that system, not the whole of it.

Cool roofs in Arizona

Tile or foam or shingle — what is best for an Arizona home?

Each suits a different situation. Tile handles sun well and suits pitched Arizona homes; foam and flat systems suit low-slope and commercial roofs; shingles are the budget-friendly pitched option in a range of colors and textures. The right answer depends on your existing roof structure, not on which material is fashionable.

Comparing materials

Does roof ventilation matter in this climate?

It matters more here, not less. Trapped attic heat drives up cooling costs and cooks the roof assembly from underneath. Ventilation and insulation are usually cheaper to fix than the damage they prevent.

Repairs, replacement & storm damage

When to act, and what counts as an emergency.

Should I repair my roof or replace it?

Repair when the damage is localised and the rest of the roof still has life in it. Replace when the failures are spread across the roof, the underlayment is at the end of its life, or you are repairing the same roof repeatedly. An honest inspection should tell you which of those you are looking at — and we will say so when a repair is the right call.

Repair vs replace

What are the warning signs my roof needs attention?

Cracked, slipped or missing tiles and shingles; stains on ceilings or in the attic; granules collecting in gutters; daylight through the roof deck; sagging; and flashing that has pulled away around vents, skylights or walls. Any of those is worth an inspection before the next storm.

The warning signs

Do you handle roofing emergencies?

Yes. We offer prompt, flexible scheduling for urgent repairs — if your roof has an unexpected leak or damage that needs immediate attention, call (480) 695-7736 so we can stop further damage to the property.

A storm just hit. What should I do first?

Stay off the roof. Photograph what you can see safely from the ground and from inside, move anything valuable out from under an active leak, and get an inspection booked. Documentation taken early is what makes the rest of the process — including any insurance conversation — straightforward.

After a storm

How often should a roof be inspected?

A good rhythm in Arizona is once a year plus after any severe storm. Roofs here fail at the details long before they fail as a whole, and details are cheap to fix while they are still details.

Seasonal checklist

Can you work on large or complex commercial projects?

Yes. We handle extensive roof replacements, complex commercial flat roofs and intricate tile installations. For a highly specialized or unconventional system, call us for a consultation so we can confirm we are the right fit for the project.

What makes you different from a national roofing franchise?

We are family-owned, based in Gilbert, with 25+ years in the Valley under a third-generation roofer. One office, one fleet, one set of standards — the trucks and crews come from the same place wherever your property is.

Where can I read genuine reviews?

We hold 4.8 out of 5 across 367 Google reviews. Our reviews page links straight to the review platforms themselves so you can read them at the source rather than taking our word for a screenshot.

Read the reviews

Do you offer warranties and guarantees?

Yes — we stand behind our workmanship and offer roofing warranties and guarantees. Coverage differs by system and by manufacturer, so the specific terms for your roof are confirmed in writing with your estimate rather than promised in general terms here.

Do you work in my city?

We work Arizona-wide from Gilbert, with dedicated pages for Gilbert, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Peoria, Chandler, Surprise, Fountain Hills, Glendale, Tempe. The city list is where most of our work is, not a boundary — if your property sits outside the Valley, call and we will tell you straight away whether we can get a crew to you.
