Cave Creek Roofing Company

Need a roofer in Cave Creek? Arizona Roofers fixes leaks, replaces worn-out roofs and installs new metal, tile, shingle and flat roofs on ranch homes, custom builds and small commercial buildings across the Town of Cave Creek and the 85331 area. We hold Arizona ROC licences #356304 and #356639, inspect for free, and take calls 24/7.

Cave Creek calls itself the place “where the Wild West lives,” and the roofs follow suit: standing-seam metal on barns and territorial-style homes, flat roofs behind adobe-look parapets, and tile on the newer custom homes in the hills. Drive times from our Phoenix headquarters are longer up here, so we plan inspections and repairs to get as much done per visit as we can.

Our roofing services in Cave Creek

Fixing leaks on ranch and territorial homes

Older Cave Creek houses often have additions built years apart, each with its own roof. Leaks tend to show up where those roofs meet, at a low-slope porch tied into a pitched main roof or at a parapet where stucco has cracked. We find the entry point, not just the stain, and repair the flashing, membrane or coating that let water in. Learn about our roof repair work.

Metal roofs for homes, barns and arenas

Metal suits the look of the town and the reality of horse property: it sheds water fast, handles sun and does not give embers much to catch on. We install and repair standing-seam and exposed-fastener panels on homes, stables, hay barns and shade structures. See our metal roofing options and our new roof installation service.

Replacing roofs on older Cave Creek homes

When the guest-ranch era ended, land such as the old Rancho Mañana was sold off for homes and condominiums starting in the 1970s. Roofs on houses of that age are often on their second or third covering, and some have layers that should never have been stacked. We strip to the deck, repair rot and install a new system sized for the house. Read about our roof replacement process.

Flat roof coatings in the old town core

Restaurants, shops and offices along Cave Creek Road mostly sit under low-slope roofs with built-up, modified bitumen or coated surfaces. We recoat, patch and replace them with as little disruption to business as possible. Our commercial roofing services and modified bitumen roofing pages explain the options.

Free inspections on acreage properties

On a property with a main house, a guest house and two barns, one inspection can cover every roof. Our free roof inspection gives you photos and a written condition report for each building so you can plan repairs over time.

What the high desert does to Cave Creek roofs

At around 2,550 feet, Cave Creek is higher than most of the Valley, with Black Mountain on the Carefree border and Elephant Mountain to the north. The extra elevation does not bring snow worth planning for, but it does put homes on exposed ridges and open desert where monsoon wind has nothing to slow it down. Between June 15 and September 30, storm cells build over the mountains and drop heavy rain, hail and gusts on the town in a short window.

The creek the town is named for runs down the west side toward Phoenix, and the washes that feed it carry fast water after storms. Properties near them are worth checking for debris and wind damage after every big cell.

• Brush and wildfire. With the Tonto National Forest to the north and open desert all around, embers and brush fires are a real concern. Clear debris from gutters and roof valleys and ask about fire-resistant roofing when you replace.
• Mixed building methods. Owner-built homes and additions mean nonstandard framing and flashing details that do not show up on a quick look.
• Wildlife. Pack rats, birds and bees find openings at fascia boards and under loose tile.
• Long roof runs on outbuildings. Fasteners on older metal panels back out over years of expansion and contraction.

Cave Creek areas we work in

Cave Creek uses ZIP codes 85327 and 85331, but 85331 also covers neighbourhoods inside Phoenix and unincorporated Maricopa County, so the mailing address alone does not tell you who issues permits.

Permits and building rules in Cave Creek

The Town of Cave Creek, incorporated in 1986, issues permits for work inside town limits. Homes with a Cave Creek address in Tatum Ranch fall under the City of Phoenix, and places to the west like Desert Hills and New River are unincorporated Maricopa County. We check which authority covers your parcel and pull permits where the town, city or county requires them.

Much of the town has no HOA at all, which gives you more freedom on materials and colour. Planned neighbourhoods and condo complexes may have an association with its own rules, and we help with approval paperwork when needed.

Our process for Cave Creek roofing jobs

1. Site visit. We walk every roof you want looked at and note access for trucks and material deliveries, which matters on dirt roads and steep drives.
2. Photo report and options. You get photos and a written report, with repair and replacement options where both make sense.
3. Permit check. We confirm whether your parcel is in the town, the City of Phoenix or the county, and pull the permit if one is needed.
4. Scheduling around weather. In monsoon season we plan tear-offs for mornings and keep the roof dried-in before afternoon storms build.
5. Final walk. We review the work with you, clear the site and leave the warranty paperwork.

Whoever you hire, confirm they hold an Arizona R-42, C-42 or CR-42 roofing licence; the Registrar of Contractors lets you look up any licence free at roc.az.gov. After hail, know that A.R.S. § 32-1158.02 gives you the right to cancel a roofing contract that hinges on your insurance claim, and that a roofer may not negotiate that claim on your behalf. Our roof insurance claim help guide explains the steps.

Roof costs and financing for Cave Creek properties
