Roofing help in Phoenix
Phoenix roofs live under some of the most intense heat and sun in the country, then get tested by monsoon storms from July through September with high winds, dust and sudden downpours. Concrete tile, foam flat roofs and asphalt shingles are all common, and each fails in its own way in the desert.

Phoenix homes and their roofs
Historic districts such as Willo and Encanto-Palmcroft have 1920s to 1940s homes with flat roofs behind parapets. Arcadia and much of central Phoenix have mid-century ranches. Newer homes across North Phoenix and Ahwatukee mostly have concrete tile.
Tile underlayment
Concrete tile lasts for decades, but desert heat breaks down the underlayment beneath it, which is the usual cause of tile roof leaks. See tile roofing.
Foam and flat roofs
Spray polyurethane foam and membrane flat roofs need periodic recoating to stay watertight and reflective in the sun.
Monsoon storms
Monsoon winds lift tiles and shingles and drive rain into weak flashing and clogged scuppers. Pre-season inspections catch problems.
