Hi, if you're in Phoenix and you're planning to hire a roofer that you can really feel good about hiring, then you'll be interested in hearing this short interview with Brandon. Brandon is a homeowner and he was selling his home. However, the roof needed some repairs first and these repairs needed to be done urgently so that Brandon could sell the home quickly. So here's the interview with Brandon: (Scroll to the right to read.) |
"He was just efficient, kind, communicated well & got back to me quickly... and as far as pricing he was the best price that we got out of all of the quotes."
|
Q: "Was he the very lowest of all the estimates you got or do you not know?"
|
Q: "What were the actual services you provided to you? You said he repaired some tile... what else?"

On the left, that is the ridgeline that was made by some other Phoenix roofing company. Notice that the alignment is off. Not only does it look bad, but with central Arizona's summer storms (the monsoons and the dusty haboobs), those poorly aligned tiles are more likely to crack. If the roof tile cracks and water leaks under the roof, then water can damage the ceiling or attic below. Fortunately for Brandon, on the right is how the properly aligned ridgeline looks now. |

Why do certain kinds of roof not last as long here in New River AZ?In this part of Arizona, roofing materials can deteriorate quickly because of the intense heat of summers in New River 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 New River 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 New River 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 New River, 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 New River, 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. |
