Extend Your Roof's Life by 10-15 Years

Flat Roofing Built for Tucson's Desert Climate

Flat roofs face unique challenges in Tucson—intense year-round UV exposure, extreme temperature swings from 40°F to 110°F, and sudden monsoon downpours. Generic roofing solutions fail quickly here.

Founded in 2025, Sunrise Roofers LLC is led by Eddie who brings over 20 years of experience working with Arizona's climate. We use UV-resistant materials, reflective surfaces to combat heat, and proper drainage systems to handle monsoons. Our no-commission model means honest recommendations focused on what your roof actually needs—not what earns the biggest markup.

Our Flat Roof Services

Comprehensive flat roofing solutions designed specifically for Tucson's challenging climate conditions.

TPO Roofing Systems

Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is ideal for Tucson properties. The white reflective membrane reduces heat absorption, directly lowering your cooling costs while withstanding extreme UV exposure and temperature fluctuations.

Key advantages:

  • Highly reflective surface designed for desert climates
  • Superior UV and ozone resistance
  • Heat-welded seams create watertight barriers
  • 15-20+ year lifespan with proper maintenance
  • Environmentally friendly and recyclable
  • Energy Star rated for maximum efficiency

Our installations include thorough deck inspection, proper drainage design, and quality insulation for maximum performance and longevity.

Roof Coating Systems

Protective coatings extend your roof's life by 10-15 years at a fraction of replacement cost. These liquid-applied membranes create seamless barriers that seal cracks, reflect UV rays, and protect against thermal shock.

Coating options:

  • Silicone: Excellent for ponding water, highly UV resistant, no primer needed
  • Acrylic: Cost-effective, reflective, ideal for sloped areas with good drainage
  • Polyurethane: Impact resistant for high-traffic roofs, excellent adhesion
  • Elastomeric: Flexible rubber-based coating, handles thermal expansion

We assess your roof's condition and recommend the optimal coating type.

Flat Roof Restoration

When your roof shows aging but remains structurally sound, restoration returns it to like-new condition for 50-70% less than complete replacement.

Our restoration process:

  • Comprehensive inspection to identify all damage
  • Thorough cleaning and surface preparation
  • Repair of punctures, tears, and seam failures
  • Drainage system evaluation and improvement
  • Primer application for proper adhesion
  • High-quality restoration coating system
  • Final inspection and warranty documentation

Ideal for 10-15 year old roofs with good structural integrity needing surface rehabilitation and waterproofing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about flat roof coating and TPO roofing in Tucson.

How long does a flat roof last in Tucson? â–Ľ

TPO roofs last 15-20 years, modified bitumen 10-15 years, and EPDM rubber 20-25 years with proper installation and maintenance. Regular coatings every 7-10 years significantly extend these lifespans.

Tucson's intense UV exposure makes quality materials and professional installation critical. A cheap installation might save money upfront but will cost more in frequent repairs and early replacement.

What does flat roof coating cost in Tucson? â–Ľ

Typical pricing:

• TPO roofing installation: $5-8 per square foot installed
• Roof coating systems: $2-4 per square foot
• Complete restoration: $4-7 per square foot
• Emergency repairs: $500-2,000 depending on damage

Final costs depend on roof size, access difficulty, insulation needs, and necessary repairs. We provide free detailed estimates after inspecting your specific roof.

How often should I coat my flat roof? â–Ľ

Every 7-10 years in Tucson's climate. The intense UV exposure breaks down coatings faster than milder regions. Watch for chalking, cracks, or loss of reflectivity as signals to recoat.

Timely recoating prevents water infiltration, extends roof life, and maintains energy efficiency. It's far less expensive than replacement and can be done without disrupting building operations.

Can you repair my flat roof or does it need replacement? â–Ľ

Many flat roofs can be repaired or restored rather than replaced. If your roof's structure is sound and damage is localized, repair or restoration saves significant cost.

Widespread failure, extensive water damage to insulation or decking, or roofs near end-of-life may require replacement. We provide honest assessments with all options and transparent pricing so you can make an informed decision.

Do flat roofs work during Tucson monsoon season? â–Ľ

Yes, when properly installed with correct slope and drainage. The key is ensuring water drains within 48 hours to prevent ponding.

We design proper drainage systems, install quality waterproofing membranes, and ensure watertight seams. Regular drain maintenance is essential for monsoon readiness. Before monsoon season, we recommend having drains cleared and roof inspected.

What's the difference between TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen? â–Ľ

TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin): White reflective membrane, heat-welded seams, excellent energy efficiency, 15-20 year life. Best for Tucson's hot climate.

EPDM (Rubber): Black or white rubber membrane, seamed with adhesive, very durable, 20-25 year life. Works well but black versions absorb more heat.

Modified Bitumen: Asphalt-based rolled roofing with mineral granules, torch-applied or self-adhered, 10-15 year life. Traditional choice but less energy-efficient than TPO.

For Tucson properties, we most often recommend TPO for its superior heat reflection and proven performance in desert climates.

Do you offer warranties on flat roofing work? â–Ľ

Yes. All work includes our workmanship warranty plus manufacturer warranties on materials.

TPO membranes typically include 10-20 year warranties, coating systems 5-15 years depending on product. We ensure all warranty requirements are met during installation and provide complete documentation for your records.

How long does TPO installation take? â–Ľ

Most residential flat roofs (500-1,500 sq ft) take 2-4 days depending on roof condition and weather. Commercial projects vary based on size and complexity.

Timeline factors include: removal of old roofing, substrate repairs, insulation installation, and weather conditions. We provide realistic schedules and keep you informed of progress throughout the project.
