Best Roofing Materials for Arizona Homes

3 years ago

There are many ways to construct a roof, so what are the best roofing materials for Arizona homes? When thinking of roofing, you need to consider Arizona’s extreme heat for much of the year – as well as the monsoon season, during which there are many rain and dust storms. There are many different roofing materials well-suited for Arizona homes and weather, but which are the best?

Best Roofing Materials for Arizona Homes

Tile Roofing: Tile roofs are one of the most common types in Arizona, and that’s because they not only give your home a beautiful, classic look, but they’re also durable and long-lasting, and they’re very resistant to extreme heat, windy and stormy weather, and insect damage. Tile roofs generally come in concrete and clay. A few natural quarried slate roofs are found in the valley, and some synthetic polymer and cement fiber roofs are making an appearance.
Foam Roofing: Polyurethane foam roofs work very well for flat-roof buildings, a common design in Arizona. Foam roofs can be a little pricier than other options, but it makes up for it with its insulation properties, which can save you money on A/C costs during the summer – about 7-15%. In addition, there are no seams in a foam roof, (if properly done) which means there’ll be far fewer leaks than with other roofing materials.
Metal Roofing: Metal roofs may not sound like the best idea in Arizona, but they’re actually a great choice. The metal redirects heat from your roof, which makes the interior much cooler. Not only that, but metal is quite strong and durable, and can last for decades before needing to be replaced. And it won’t look out of place – current designs will make your metal roof look modern and sleek.In addition, what’s known as “cool metal roofing” can reduce your energy costs over time.
What About Solar Panels Roofing: While solar panels typically go over an existing roof, they’re still worth mentioning here. Solar paneling – whether you use just a few panels or a full covering – is incredibly beneficial both to the environment and to you. Though it’s a hefty initial investment, solar panels will end up being worth it in your reduced electricity bills. Finally, those powerful sun rays that make much of the year so miserable here have a bonus!

What Is the Most Durable Roofing Material?

Properly installed, concrete tile roof systems provide best overall performance with the least cost over the life of the roof. Poorly installed a concrete tile roof will provide you with years of frustration and anxiety.

Concrete roofing is very durable material, which can last for 50 years or more.

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.

We just want to thank you (Jeff) and your employees for the excellent and professional job in replacing our tile roof. Your employee’s (Juan Diaz and crew) were diligent, neat, pleasant, worked independently and very competent. It was such a pleasure to do business with a company with such high standards. We would highly recommend your company without reservations.

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.

I have a new roof today thanks to Roofstar. From the estimate with Chris with understanding the process. Able to talk to all top brass with the care and interest in sharing the process through the team that showed up and did The work. Always willing to answer my questions I am thrilled with the results. Thanks Jeff, Jose, Juan, and Chris. I would highly recommend your team. Your onsite workers were fabulous. Make it a great day.

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.

I want to extend my compliments to Santiago Sr & Jr. I really appreciated Santiago Sr’s sense of ’ownership’ with the job and recognize and am grateful for the effort that he and his son put into making sure the job was done well. They did excellent work! Thank you.

This is a great company to work with. Worked with them twice over a 10-year period and both great experiences. The last experience involved a very difficult leak in a sun room/solarium and the owner, Jeff, came out and hunted down the leak and made sure that it was resolved. Cannot recommend them high enough. Thank you to Jeff and the Roofstar team.

Michael K.

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.
