Achieve Roof Perfection: Top Roof Improvement Tips from Contractors

4 months ago

In the sun-soaked lands of Mesa and Phoenix, Arizona, your roof faces quite the battle against the elements. Achieving roof perfection not only enhances the aesthetics of your home but also ensures long-lasting protection. Roofstar is here to share top contractor tips for roof improvement that will elevate your home to new heights.

Regular Inspections Are Key

Prevention is always better than cure, and the same goes for roof maintenance. Regular inspections help in identifying potential issues before they escalate into major problems. For Mesa and Phoenix residents, it’s advisable to have at least one inspection per year – before monsoon season during April, May or June. If your landscaping is mature with trees that leave debris on your roof, two inspections may be advisable.

Cleanliness is Next to Godliness

Keeping your roof clean extends far beyond aesthetics; it’s also about preventing damage. Here are some cleaning tips:

Remove debris such as leaves and twigs, as they can retain moisture and cause rot.
Clean gutters to prevent water build-up and ensure proper drainage.
Debris in valleys and dead valley areas is a primary roof killer as it blocks proper drainage of storm water and prematurely deteriorates your underlayment.

Know When to Repair

Understanding when your roof needs repair is vital for maintaining its integrity. Look out for:

Damaged or missing shingles.
Leaks or water spots in the attic or ceilings.
Cracked or damaged flashing.
Loose material around chimneys, vents, pipes or other penetrations.

Address these issues promptly to prevent further damage.

Pick the Right Materials

If you’re considering a roof replacement, choosing the right materials is critical. In Arizona, it’s essential to select materials that can withstand the harsh sun and heavy rains. Some choices include:

Metal Roofing: Highly durable and excellent for reflecting solar heat.
Tile Roofing: Traditional and stylish, tiles are great for insulation and longevity.
Asphalt Shingles: Cost-effective and versatile, but ensure you pick high-quality options that can endure the Arizona climate.
Modified Bitumen or Sprayed Polyurethane Foam (SPF): High quality solutions for flat or low slope areas of your home.

Ensure Proper Ventilation and Insulation

A well-ventilated and insulated roof contributes to energy efficiency and extends the lifespan of your roof. It helps in:

Reducing heat buildup in summers.
Preventing moisture buildup in winters.
Lowering energy bills.

Upgrade with Cool Roof Technology

For the hot climate in the Mesa-Phoenix area, upgrading to cool roof technology can be a game-changer. This technology is designed to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat, significantly reducing cooling costs.

Very impressed with Jeff’s response to my concern over a rain caused leak in our ceiling.

Jeff arrived promptly in the a.m. for an evaluation, congenial, confident – integrity fully present. The same characteristics I respected, wanted and needed and had happily experienced the moment I met him. After observing the
rather slight damage to the ceiling we went to the roof where he promptly flattened himself atop the shingles and like a practiced detective began to assess shingles and flashing, etc, in order to create a likely scenario that might have generated a leak. His minute attention to detail was impressive.

Having isolated the potential problem he proceeded to caulk here and there. He also took the time to address other concerns that I had regarding roofing issues going forward.

All in all Jeff delivered the kind of prompt, competent service all homeowners seek, are entitled to, and hope for in a tradesman.

Thank you, Jeff for living the kind of values that make owning a home worth the while.

From start until finish, Roofstar Arizona was the perfect choice for our house. We were given a very clear and thorough quote for the work our 30+ year old roof needed; we could’ve choose to ‘band-aid’ key areas and spend less, or we could spend the money and fix it right. We had saved and knew we’d have to spend a good amount of money for the work, but Roofstar was professional enough to offer choices. We had a slight miscommunication with regard to instruction with the on-site supervisor, and though we were able to easily clear things up, Roofstars’ owner Jeff drove himself to our home just to make sure our minds were at ease. Excellent touch. The workers were courteous and very thorough with the work. They stuck to the time needed to complete (we had good weather), and our home has a new roof, ready for the next 30 years. It looks great, and we have the confidence knowing the job was done right. Great work, guys. Highly recommend this company.

….03/2020–an update–we’ve had a few rainy days since the roof work–and everything is in fantastic order. These guys did a great job for us, and I know they will for you, too.

Roofstar provides great customer service. I was able to text the office manager and our job supervisor when I had questions and their response indicated concern and a desire to be helpful. The work was done in a timely manner and is high quality. I would definitely recommend to others.

Excellent service! They install some bird barriers that other companies do not. They explained everything in easy to understand terms. Very friendly and very knowledgeable. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality and reputable company.

This is the second time I’ve used Roofstar for roof repairs. Jeff and Roofstar has been honest and fair with their prices compared to other companies however the big difference to me was with the customer service. Jeff Knudson, the owner, came out to our house personally to explain to me what the problem and the options were. Not everything was “urgent” or “required” to be repaired; some items were necessary and some were “nice to have” in order to prevent future repairs. I appreciated the honesty and the option to select the level of repairs that I needed and fit into my budget. Outside of some delays early on during the quote process, the work was completed timely and per the quote provided, no hidden fees or changes to the original quote. I am very happy with the work performed by Roofstar and will recommend Roofstar to any friends and neighbors requiring roof work.

Love that they didn’t try and sell you a roof and repaired. Thanks for helping us get by to save up for complete repair. Work was done timely. I loved they had women roofers!

Roofstar provided professional inspection and detail quotes on the repairs needed to be done for our properties. We collected a few quotes from different roofing companies for comparison. Roofstar repair cost was very competitive and reasonable. We ultimately chose to go with Roofstar because we felt confident that they would take care of the problems. They came back to correct the minor issue that we had and finished the job to our satisfaction without further questions. We would highly recommend Roofstar to our families and friends.

I have had several neighbors ask about your company and have given favorable recommendations to this point. Your team was very professional and I think to this point did a great job! I am in sales as well and just to let you know Mike was very professional in his meeting with me and his presentation and follow up made the difference between other companies.
