In Phoenix, extreme heat and seasonal monsoons can cause issues like cracked or curled shingles, blistering on flat roofs, and flashing damage. Tile and foam roofs are popular in the Valley, but both require regular maintenance due to UV exposure and debris from summer storms.
Frequently asked questions
2. How often should I get my roof inspected in the Phoenix area?
We recommend twice-yearly roof inspections in Phoenix—once in early spring and again after the monsoon season (typically late summer). These inspections help catch heat damage, sealant wear, and water intrusion early before they become costly repairs.
3. What roofing materials are best for Phoenix’s hot climate?
Tile, foam, and metal roofs perform best in the Arizona desert. Clay or concrete tile roofs are popular for their durability and resistance to sun exposure. Spray foam roofing is also ideal for flat roofs due to its insulation properties. Metal roofing reflects heat and lasts decades with minimal maintenance.
4. How do monsoon storms affect roofs in Phoenix?
Monsoon season (June–September) can bring high winds, dust storms (haboobs), and torrential rain. These conditions often lead to broken tiles, lifted shingles, clogged gutters, and leaks. Straight Arrow Roofing offers emergency roof tarping and fast storm damage repairs in Phoenix and nearby cities like Tempe, Scottsdale, and Mesa.
