There are quite a few factors that go into determining the cost of a new roof. This includes the professionalism and quality of the roofing contractor and company, the roofing brand, type and grade of roofing you select and of course the shape, size and slope of your roof-line.

The biggest mistake home owners make is choosing the cheapest bidder. Please don’t choose a roofing contractor based on cost alone! Price is a factor, But it can open a can of worms if cost is the  main deciding factor. Quality roofing materials, licensed and experienced contractors and of course quality craftsmanship all need to come into play.

Another factor to consider is that a warranty is only as good at the person or company standing behind it. Az Cool Roofing as been in the industry since 1961, we stand behind our work and we take care of our clients

Most roofing shingles, tiles and shakes usually have a 15 to 30 year life span depending on the quality of the product and the environment in which they are in. Location of the roofing in the sun, or under the shade significantly impacts your roofs lifespan as well. Direct sunlight, water, wind, poor ventilation all factor into a roofs lifespan.

Here are some following signs that your roof may need a inspection:

• Curling Shingles
• Loss of Granulation (the loss of the little pebbles on the shingles)
• Leaks on your ceilings
• Cracked or discolored drywall
• Decayed shingles
• Missing shingles or tiles
• Visible cracks
• Wind Damage
• Broken Tile or Shingles
• Rusted or missing flashing

If a residential roof is over 15 years old we highly recommend a free roof inspection as sometime roof damage is not even visible just by looking at it – by catching damage early will save your thousands of dollars by simply repairing and not replacing your roof  

Let’s use an asphalt shingle system as our example and start at the bottom:

1. Roof Deck. This is the layer, usually plywood, that supports the roofing material. This is normally nailed to the rafters. For an asphalt shingle system it is usually 15/32 or 1/2 inch thick at a minimum. The thickness is determined by the spacing of the rafters and the weight of the roofing material.
2. A layer (or two) of felt that is is saturated with asphalt. Called “felt paper” or “tar paper” this is a rolled material that provides a secondary level of waterproofing under the shingle layer. In cold weather applications, another layer known as an “ice dam,” is rolled out on top of the bottom edge of the underlayment to help keep water out during the freeze-thaw cycle.
3. A short, galvanized nail with a large head. This nail only needs to penetrate the roof deck, underlayment, and shingles. This nail’s wide head helps hold down the shingles in the wind. The nail is also ridged to resist pulling up. Different types of roofing require different types of fasteners.
4. Thin metal, typically aluminum, that helps water run off and protects the deck and underlayment. Flashing is used at the outside edges of the roof deck (perimeter), areas where two sides of the roof meet (valleys), and anywhere the deck is penetrated (chimneys, vents, etc).
5. These are the most visible portion of the roof. They are laid in rows that overlap each other, forming a protective layer. Each shingle will be nailed down in an area that is under the protection of the layer above it. Each shingle also has a strip of adhesive that helps it lock into place. Special shingles are typically used at the bottom edge of the roof and at the top where two planes meet.

Other roofing materials use different elements in their systems, but each element has to be correct for the system it is used in.

Asphalt shingles are soft. When the summer sun is on them they get even softer. Adding a thin layer of small stones helps to create a stronger surface to deflect falling raindrops or hail and they also reflect some of the hot sun. Without those small stones, your shingles would likely melt into one gooey mess on your roof.

An added benefit is that they enhance the look, giving your roof a textured appearance.

As your shingles age, those little stones will wear away, changing the appearance of your roof. Seeing black “splotches” on your shingles is an indication that your roof is nearing the end of its life.

If a bid sounds too good to be real, it might not be. Please check the Arizona Registrar of Contractors and the Better Business Bureau to find out if the contractor has many complaints against them.

Efficient roofing companies like Az Cool Roofing have a lot of advantages on pricing, Our overhead is lower and we can focus efficient pricing for our fellow Arizonians. Other roofing contactors often save money the only way they can by  buying the roofing materials at significantly lower prices by use lower grade materials. That means that the only way to be significantly lower is to cut corners either on the quality of workmanship or on the quality of material used on your roof. All of the best roofing contractors, like AZ Cool Roofing, will present you with a very specific bid that explains exactly what we will do and what materials will be used.

Check that the bids you receive involve the complete job. If they are missing something from the list below, ask why:

• The specific type of roof covering they will use, including manufacturer name, model number, color, grade classification.
• Specifics about all other materials (underlayment, etc) that will be used.
• The scope of the work in detail, including removal of the existing roof, details of the flashing work (including types and if they will be new or reused), ventilation details (reuse or replace, etc).
• After removing your existing roof, problems may be discovered with the deck that are hidden now. The bid should explain in detail what costs you might incur in replacing the present decking.
• What method of installation will be used for your new roof?
• When will the project start? When will they be done?
• Who will handle damages? Make sure details are clear.
• How much will you pay, when are payments due?
• What is covered by warranty? You should get both a manufacturers warranty for the materials and a workmanship warranty from the company.

If you’re unclear about the particulars, ask questions. And be sure you get everything in writing.

Hail is destructive and can seriously damage the roof, because it will deteriorate the granules protecting the shingles on your roof for Asphalt shingles. If till brake tile for tile roofs, and it will penetrate foam on foam roofing systems. In a hail storm, your roof will be exposed completely to the hail, which will end up damaging the roofing system

With asphalt shingles, small stones are embedded in the surface of the asphalt to protect it from damage. Over the life of the shingle (15-25 years) these stones wear away, putting your roof at risk of leaking. Hailstorms and heavy rain can speed the deterioration process. A trained professional can tell you if you’ve reached that point. Call us and we’ll come take a look.

If you have other types of roofing, hail can sometimes crack or split individual tiles. In most cases these can be replaced on an individual basis. If you would like an inspection, call us.

2. **Fire Resistance:** Tile roofing materials, such as clay or concrete tiles, are inherently fire-resistant. This can provide added protection for homes in areas prone to wildfires, giving homeowners peace of mind.
3. **Energy Efficiency:** Tile roofs have natural thermal properties that help to insulate homes, reducing the need for excessive heating and cooling. This can lead to energy savings and lower utility bills, especially during the hot summer months in Arizona.
