Re-Roof Specialists

A new roof you can quit thinking about

The sun out here is hard on a roof. Even a good one wears out eventually. The underlayment dries up, shingles lose their grit, and a tile roof gets to where there are just too many bad spots to keep chasing one at a time.

A full replacement basically resets the clock with newer, heat-rated material and an install that's done to code and done clean. We'll lay out every option and what each one costs and let you make the call.

  • Complete tear-off & disposal
  • New underlayment & flashing
  • Shingle, tile & metal systems
  • Workmanship + manufacturer warranties

Full tear-off, fresh underlayment and correct flashing — not a layer over old problems.

Desert-Rated Materials

Reflective, heat-tolerant systems that hold up to relentless Tucson UV.

Warranty-Backed

Is It Time?

Signs you need a new roof

Not sure if you need a whole new roof or just a repair? Here's what usually tells us a roof's about done in this climate.

Recurring Leaks Multiple leaks in different areas usually mean the underlayment has failed system-wide.
Widespread Tile Damage Too many cracked or slipped tiles to repair economically one by one.
Granule Loss & Curling Bald spots, curling shingles and grit in the gutters signal worn-out asphalt.
Age Shingle roofs past ~20 years and tile underlayment past ~25 are living on borrowed time.

Your Options

Shingle, tile or metal — we install them all

Different houses need different roofs. Shingle's the cheapest and goes on the fastest. Tile lasts forever and has that classic Southwest look. Metal and coatings each have their place depending on the roof's shape and what you want out of your power bill.

We'll look at your slope, how the roof's built, and what you want to spend, then tell you what actually fits. We're not going to push you into something fancier than you need.

  • Architectural asphalt shingles
  • Concrete & clay tile
  • Standing-seam metal
  • Reflective coatings for flat sections

By Roof Type

What replacing each kind of roof involves

A roof replacement isn't one job, it's four different ones depending on what's up there now and what's wrong with it. Here's what each one looks like on a Tucson house, so you know what you're being quoted.

Flat roof replacement in Tucson

Tile roof replacement Often the tile is fine and only the underlayment is done. We lift and re-stack your tile over new high-temp underlayment, or replace tile, underlayment and flashing together when the tile is brittle or can't be matched.
Shingle roof replacement Tear-off to the deck, decking repairs where it's soft, high-temp underlayment, new flashing and architectural shingles, with the attic ventilation sorted so the new roof doesn't bake out early.
Flat roof replacement Old membrane or built-up roof stripped, decking and slope checked, drains and scuppers corrected, then a new membrane system that actually sheds water instead of holding it.
Metal roof replacement Standing-seam or exposed-fastener panels over a solid deck and high-temp underlayment, with trim and flashing detailed to stand up to monsoon wind.

Cost

What roof replacement costs in Tucson

Three things set the price of a Tucson roof replacement: the size and pitch of the roof, the material you pick, and what we find when the old roof comes off. Shingle is the easiest on the wallet, tile and metal cost more up front and last far longer. Tear-off, disposal, new underlayment, flashing and the final cleanup are all part of our number, so the quote you get is the quote you pay.

We've written up the planning ranges we see around town so you can budget before we come out. The exact figure comes with a free, itemized estimate and financing if you want to spread it out. And if you're building new rather than replacing, that's a different job with its own page.

Tucson Specifics

Replacing a roof in Tucson: heat, monsoon and HOA rules

A roof replacement here is a different job than one back east. The underlayment does more of the work because the sun cooks everything above it, so we use high-temp underlayment made for the roof and attic temperatures we actually see. The flashing has to be tight against monsoon rain that comes in sideways and finds any lap that was run the wrong way. And the schedule has to respect the weather: in July and August we tear off only what we can dry in that same day, so your house never sits open overnight.

The neighborhood matters too. Up in the Catalina Foothills, Oro Valley and most of the newer HOA communities, tile is the norm and the HOA usually has a say in profile and color, so we get you the product specs and samples the submittal asks for before anything is ordered. In central Tucson, midtown and the east side you see a lot more shingle and flat roofs on older homes, where the decking and attic ventilation often need attention once the old roof comes off.

If a storm pushed you into replacing, we document the damage before tear-off and give you the photos and a detailed written scope your insurance company will ask for. We work alongside your adjuster, and we won't promise what the policy will pay.

  • High-temp underlayment under every system
  • Flashing detailed for wind-driven rain
  • Same-day dry-in during monsoon season
  • Specs and samples for HOA submittals
  • Decking and ventilation checked on older homes
  • Insurance documentation when a storm is the cause

Ask Us Directly

How often does a roof need to be replaced in Arizona?

Depends what it's made of. Shingle roofs around here usually go 15 to 25 years. Tile can last 50-plus, but the underlayment under the tile typically needs doing around the 20 to 25 year mark. We'll get up there and tell you right where yours sits.

How much is a new roof in Tucson, AZ?

Comes down to size, how steep it is, and the material. Shingle's the easiest on the wallet; tile and metal cost more but they last a lot longer. The estimate's free and itemized, and we do financing if you'd rather spread it out.

How long does it take to replace a roof?

Most houses take somewhere between 2 and 5 days depending on size, material and the weather. We'll give you a real timeline before we ever start.

Do you replace just the tile underlayment?

Yep, and a lot of the time that's all it needs. On plenty of tile roofs the tile's still fine and it's the underlayment that's shot. We pull the tile, lay down new underlayment, and stack the same tile back on. Way cheaper than buying all new tile.

Will you help with financing?

We do. You can get the roof on now and pay it off over time.

Can you replace a roof during monsoon season in Tucson?

We do it all summer. We watch the forecast, tear off only what we can dry in the same day, and keep tarps on the truck. If a storm's rolling in that afternoon, we hold off on opening up more roof. It's slower some weeks, but your house never sits open overnight.

Will a new roof lower my cooling bills?

It can help. Lighter colors, reflective shingles or coatings, and fixing the attic ventilation while the roof is open all cut down on the heat getting into the house. We won't put a dollar figure on it because every house is different, but we'll tell you which options make the biggest difference for yours.

Do I need to be home during the roof replacement?

No, and most people aren't. We send you photos and an update every day so you know exactly where the job stands, and we do a final walkthrough with you when it's finished.

Can you put new shingles over the old ones?

We don't. We tear off to the deck every time. A second layer hides soft decking and bad flashing, traps heat against the new shingles in a climate that already cooks them, and can void the manufacturer's warranty. It's cheaper on day one and more expensive every year after.

What happens if you find rotten decking?

We replace it. Soft or rotted decking usually shows up around old leaks, skylights and valleys, and nobody can see it until the roof is off. We photograph it, show you, and tell you the cost before we keep going, so nothing lands on the bill as a surprise.
