Why do certain kinds of roof not last as long here in Scottsdale AZ?In this part of Arizona, roofing materials can deteriorate quickly because of the intense heat of summers in Scottsdale plus the annual monsoon storms (with damage from hail and gusting winds in dust storms). The extra stress to the exterior roofing surfaces will usually result in the need to replace or repair your roof much more often in this part of Arizona than if that same roof was in another state. With the image below (from an article by the
National Association of Certified Home Inspectors), note the bottom of the three sections. When the roofing material is already deteriorated (like by a decade of Scottsdale summers with heat far over 100 degrees), then a single
hail stone can cause significant damage leading to the potential for a leak (and massive insurance claims for
water damage).
In some cases, there is
roof damage in so many places that our roof inspection specialists in Scottsdale can take photos and make measurements that get the attention of the warranty provider or insurance company. Insurance companies in particular do not want a slowly leaking roof to lead to much more extensive water damage or mold. This is especially true of asphalt shingle roofing in Scottsdale, which can fracture (crack open) when damaged by a hail storm.

So, when the effectiveness of the roofing has been sufficiently compromised (what the insurance companies call “disturbed” roofing), then they will often approve paying for a full roof replacement. They know that the cost of all of the individual repairs can actually be larger than replacing the roof. Further, the insurance companies know that roof warranties in Scottsdale, Arizona are often “generous.” That means that if your roof warranty is near expiration, your insurance company may favor paying for a new roof (which starts over a new period of warranty coverage). The insurance company wants new warranty coverage because that new warranty reduces the future financial risks of the insurance company. |
