Roofing in Arizona

Arizona is a state of extremes. The desert valleys bake under a sun that pushes the shingle temperatures past 160 degrees, the summer monsoons drop wind and hail without warning, and the high country piles on the snow and the ice. Roofing in Arizona means building roofs for every one of those climates — and we do it in 20 cities across the state.

The Roofing Regions of Arizona

The state splits into three distinct roofing climates, and the roofs need to match each one.

The desert valleys — Phoenix, Tucson, and the Colorado River cities like Yuma, Lake Havasu City, and Kingman — face the extreme heat and the monsoon. The UV sheds the granules early and the heat dries out the seals. Light-colored shingles, tile, and metal reflect the sun and last the longest.

The southern border highlands — Nogales and Sierra Vista at 3,800–4,600 feet — blend the desert heat with the mountain moisture. The monsoon storms and the thermal cycling stress the flashing and the seals.

The high country — Prescott, Prescott Valley, and Flagstaff at 5,000–7,000 feet — bring the snow, the ice dams, and the freeze-thaw cycles. The ice-and-water shield at the eaves and the cold attic ventilation are essential, and metal roofing sheds the snow.

Arizona Roofing Considerations

The desert sun is the dominant force across most of Arizona. The UV at altitude is intense, and the shingle granules shed early on the south-facing slopes. The roofs in the valley cities like Goodyear, El Mirage, and Maricopa age faster than the national average.

The monsoon season hits every summer, from July through September. The storms bring the straight-line wind and the hail that bruise the shingles and lift the edges. The post-storm inspection is the standard practice in the desert cities.

The high country is a different story. Flagstaff and Prescott pile up the winter snow, and the attic heat melts it unevenly. The ice dams back the water up under the shingles, and the freeze-thaw cycles split the flashing.

Roofing in Arizona’s Top Cities

• Roofing in Phoenix-area cities — Goodyear, El Mirage, Fountain Hills, Queen Creek, and Sun City West face the desert heat and the monsoon.
• Roofing in Tucson-area cities — Marana, Oro Valley, and Sahuarita blend the desert heat with the foothill wind.
• Roofing in the Colorado River cities — Lake Havasu City, Kingman, and Yuma face the extreme heat and the river wind.
• Roofing in the high country — Flagstaff, Prescott, and Prescott Valley handle the snow, the ice, and the altitude UV.

From the 110-degree Colorado River to the snowy San Francisco Peaks, Arizona roofs face the widest range of weather in the country. The right material for your city and the right installation make the difference between the 15-year roof and the 30-year roof.
