Roofing in Tucson: what to know

Tucson sits in the desert heat and sun, and that shapes what wears roofs out here and what homeowners tend to install. The most common causes of roof damage in this kind of climate are:

• Intense UV and heat that dry out and crack shingles and underlayment.
• Monsoon storms with sudden wind and heavy rain.
• Flat and low-slope roofs that need regular coating.

Popular roof types around Tucson

Concrete and clay tile, reflective 'cool roof' coatings, foam roofs on flat sections and light-colored shingles are common choices. On tile roofs, the underlayment beneath often wears out before the tiles do.

Before you hire a roofer in Tucson

1. Verify the contractor's license with the Arizona or local licensing authority. Rules differ by state and city.
2. Ask for current certificates of liability and workers' compensation insurance.
3. Get a written, itemized quote and compare at least two.
4. Make sure the roofer pulls the permit with the local building department.
5. Get the material and workmanship warranties in writing.
