Repair it or replace it?
Most roofs give you warning before they're finished. The honest answer on repair versus replacement comes from what's happening under the surface, not from what the roof looks like from the driveway — and that's what the free inspection is for.
Replacement is usually the right call when you're seeing:
- Leaks in different places. One leak is a repair. Three leaks in three separate areas means the system itself is failing, not a single detail.
- A soft or saturated deck. Once sheathing or insulation is holding water, patching over it just traps the moisture and rots the structure.
- Failed underlayment. On tile roofs the tile is the rain shield but the underlayment is the waterproofing. When 20-year felt is brittle, the roof needs a remove-and-replace even if the tile looks perfect.
- Age plus repair history. If you're spending money every monsoon on a roof that's near the end of its rated life, that money is better applied to the replacement.
If it's genuinely repairable, we'll tell you that. See roof repair and roof leak repair for the repair side of the business.
Choose your roof type
We install and replace every residential and commercial roof type common in the Valley. Here's where each one fits:
- Spray foam roofing — the best system available for Phoenix flat and low-slope roofs. Seamless, fully adhered, no seams to fail, and a real R-value that cuts cooling costs. It's what we specialize in and it can be recoated indefinitely instead of replaced again.
- Foam recoating — if you already have foam, you may not need a replacement at all. A fresh coating every 10–15 years restarts the clock at a fraction of the cost of a new roof.
- Tile roofing — concrete and clay tile on sloped sections. Most Phoenix "tile replacements" are actually a remove-and-replace: we lift and stack your existing tile, install new underlayment, and re-lay the tile.
- Shingle roofing — architectural and Class 4 impact-rated asphalt shingles for steeper-pitched roofs where tile isn't the right fit.
- Commercial and flat roofing — foam, coatings, and repairs on warehouses, retail, apartments, and HOA-managed buildings.
Our roof replacement process
- 1
Free on-site inspection
We get on the roof, check the deck and existing system for moisture, photograph what we find, and tell you honestly whether you're looking at a repair or a replacement.
- 2
Scope and written estimate
You get a line-item estimate: system, thickness or product, warranty length, what's being removed, and what it costs. No verbal numbers, no pressure.
- 3
Tear-off or prep
Full tear-off where the old system has to go, or clean, dry, and prep where we're foaming over the existing roof. Any bad decking is repaired before we build.
- 4
Install
Foam sprayed to spec and coated, or underlayment and tile/shingle installed to manufacturer pattern. Penetrations, parapets, and drainage details handled properly — that's where roofs actually leak.
- 5
Walkthrough, cleanup, and warranty
We walk the finished roof with you, clean the property including a magnet sweep, and register your warranty paperwork.
What a replacement costs
Every roof is priced off square footage, the system you choose, and what we find underneath. Real Phoenix ranges are published here:
- Foam roof replacement cost
- Tile roof replacement / R&R cost
- Shingle roof cost
- All Phoenix roofing costs
We also offer financing if you'd rather spread the project out. The exact number always comes from the on-site inspection — we don't quote roofs from satellite images.
Other roof types we work with
Plenty of Phoenix buildings still carry older flat-roof systems. We work on all of them, and in most cases we can replace them with foam without a full tear-off:
- Built-up roofing (tar and gravel): layers of felt and asphalt topped with rock. Common on mid-century Phoenix homes. The asphalt goes brittle in the heat and the gravel hides problems until a leak shows up inside.
- Modified bitumen / torch-down: rolled sheets heat-welded at the seams. The membrane itself often holds up; the seams and flashings are what fail after 15–20 years of thermal cycling.
- TPO and single-ply: mechanically fastened or adhered sheets. UV eventually chalks the surface and the seams and fastener plates become the weak points.
- Rolled asphalt roofing: the cheapest flat-roof option and the shortest-lived in this climate. Usually well past saving by the time we see it.
- Metal roofing: panels and standing seam. Fastener gaskets dry out and leak, and expansion and contraction opens up the seams.
Foaming over an existing roof. This is the part most homeowners don't know is an option. Spray foam is fully adhered, so on many built-up, torch-down, TPO, and metal roofs we can clean and prep the existing surface and spray directly over it — no tear-off, no dumpster, no exposed deck. What has to come off first: loose gravel, wet or saturated insulation, failed rolled roofing, and any structurally compromised decking. We confirm all of that during the inspection before anything is quoted. When a roof is a candidate, foaming over it typically costs less than a tear-off, adds insulation the old roof never had, and gives you a surface that's recoatable instead of replaceable.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a roof replacement take in Phoenix?
Most residential re-roofs run two to five working days. A foam application over an existing flat roof is often one to two days; a full tile tear-off and re-lay on a larger home can run a week. Weather during monsoon season is the main variable.
Do you always have to tear the old roof off?
No. On many flat and low-slope roofs — built-up tar and gravel, torch-down, TPO, some metal — we can prep the existing surface and spray foam directly over it. That saves the cost and mess of a tear-off. Saturated insulation, loose gravel, or a failing deck have to come off first.
Can you foam over my existing flat roof?
Usually yes, if the roof is dry and structurally sound. We core-test or probe suspect areas during the free inspection to confirm the substrate isn't holding moisture. Wet areas get cut out and rebuilt; the rest gets foamed over.
Tile or foam — which is better for a Phoenix home?
It depends on the roof, not on preference. Sloped sections shed water and belong under tile or shingle. Flat and low-slope sections need a monolithic, seamless system, and that's where spray foam outperforms everything else in the Valley. Most Phoenix homes end up with both.
What warranty comes with a new roof?
Foam systems carry a 5-year or 10-year warranty depending on the coating thickness you choose, and can be recoated every 10–15 years to keep extending life. Tile and shingle re-roofs carry manufacturer material warranties plus our workmanship warranty.
Will insurance pay for a roof replacement?
Insurance covers sudden damage — monsoon wind, hail, a fallen tree — not wear-out from age. If a storm damaged your roof we'll document the damage during the inspection so you can file with confidence. Age-related replacement is an out-of-pocket project, and we offer financing.
