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.

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.

We had work done last week, they were thorough, reasonably priced, on time, cleaned up after themselves, and provide before and after photos. They also have an inspector check the work after, they do not try to sell you things you do not need. I appreciate their honesty.

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.

The estimator, James, was very pleasant, thorough, and did a great job of explaining what was needed to repair our roof. We thought that the quoted cost was reasonable and decided to go with Roofstar. We are happy that we did. Juan Diaz and his crew did an outstanding job with the repair and cleanup. Everything was accomplished per the quote and at the quoted price. Very happy and will recommend Roofstar to any neighbors needing roof work.

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.

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.
