Questions and Answers
Common questions about leaks, tile roofs, underlayment, shingles, foam roofs and storm damage.
Usually the underlayment, not the tile. Concrete tile can outlast the felt beneath it by decades, so many Tempe roofs need the tiles lifted, new underlayment installed and the same tiles put back.
It depends on the scope, and we confirm it for your job. When a permit is needed, the City of Tempe takes applications online through its Citizen Access Portal, and we handle the filing and inspection.
Often, yes. Many leaks start at a single flashing, valley or pipe jack. We find the entry point, repair it, and tell you plainly if the underlayment around it is too far gone to patch.
Yes. We spray new foam, recoat existing foam roofs and repair the parapet and scupper details that cause most flat-roof leaks.
Homes all over Tempe, including Date Palm Manor, Borden Homes, Cavalier Hills, Lindon Park, Optimist Park and Alta Mira.
Leaks that keep coming back in different spots, tiles that have slipped, and felt that crumbles when a tile is lifted are the usual signs. We lift tiles in several places during an inspection and show you photos.
The City of Tempe lists the 2018 International Residential Code among its adopted codes. Roofing work that needs a permit is built and inspected to that code.
The City says inspection requests received before midnight are inspected the next business day between 6:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
Concrete tile can crack under a careless step. Our crews step on the lower part of each tile where it's supported and carry spare tiles to replace any that break.
