4 OF THE MAIN TYPES OF ROOFS WE SPECIALIZE IN
ROLLED ROOFING
SHINGLES
FOAM
TILE
Rolled Roofing
Rolled roofing is a budget-friendly roofing material that comes in large rolls, typically made from asphalt or mineral-surfaced materials. It’s a great option for low-slope roofs or outbuildings like sheds and garages. Unlike traditional shingles that are applied in individual pieces, rolled roofing is rolled out in sheets and nailed down, making installation quicker and more cost-effective. While it’s not as durable or long-lasting as other roofing options, it provides an affordable solution for certain types of projects where appearance and longevity are less of a concern.
Shingles
Shingle roofing is one of the most popular and widely used roofing systems for residential homes. It consists of individual overlapping pieces, or “shingles,” that are typically made from asphalt, though they can also come in wood, metal, or composite materials. Asphalt shingles are particularly favored due to their durability, affordability, and variety of styles and colors. Shingle roofs are designed to protect homes by directing water off the roof and are known for their relatively easy installation and maintenance. They can last 20-30 years or more, depending on the quality of the materials and proper upkeep.
Tile
Tile roofing is a durable and long-lasting roofing option that uses individual tiles made from materials like clay, concrete, or slate. Known for its classic and timeless appearance, tile roofing is popular in regions with hot climates, such as Arizona, due to its excellent heat resistance and ability to reflect sunlight. Tile roofs offer a natural aesthetic and come in a variety of colors and styles, making them a versatile choice for many home designs. While they are heavier and more expensive than other roofing materials, tile roofs are incredibly durable, with lifespans that can exceed 50 years with proper maintenance. They are also fire-resistant, environmentally friendly, and provide excellent protection against harsh weather.
Foam
Foam roofing is a lightweight, seamless roofing system made from spray-applied polyurethane foam (SPF). It’s ideal for flat or low-slope roofs and is commonly used in both residential and commercial applications. The foam is sprayed directly onto the roof surface, expanding to form a protective, watertight barrier that provides excellent insulation and energy efficiency. Foam roofing is known for its ability to conform to any shape, filling in cracks and gaps to prevent leaks. It’s durable, low-maintenance, and can last 20-30 years or more with periodic recoating. This roofing system is particularly well-suited for Arizona’s hot climate, as it helps reduce cooling costs by reflecting sunlight and reducing heat absorption.
