Glendale Roofing Company

Arizona Roofers is a licensed Arizona roofing contractor (ROC#356304 and ROC#356639) that repairs, replaces and inspects tile, shingle, foam and flat roofs on homes and businesses throughout Glendale, AZ. We answer the phone 24/7, and every estimate starts with a free on-roof inspection, photos and a written report.

Glendale is not one housing market but several. Bungalows near downtown date to the early 1900s, a huge share of the city was built during the 1970s and 1980s boom, Arrowhead Ranch filled in during the 1990s and 2000s, and the land around the Loop 101 and Loop 303 is still being built out. Each of those eras fails in its own way, and this page explains what we look for in each. Our crews work out of our Phoenix headquarters on McDowell Road.

Roofing services for Glendale homes and businesses

Roof repair in Glendale

Most Glendale repair calls come from two places: cracked or slipped concrete tile on 1980s and 1990s homes, and worn flat sections over patios and additions on older ranch houses south of Northern Avenue. We trace the leak to its source rather than smearing mastic over the stain. Read how our roof repair service across Arizona works, from diagnosis to a written scope.

Roof replacement and tile re-lays

Many Glendale tile roofs from the 1980s and 1990s are now on their first or second underlayment, and the felt is brittle even where the tile still looks fine. A tile lift-and-re-lay replaces the underlayment and keeps sound tile; a full tear-off makes more sense when the tile itself is breaking. Compare both on our roof replacement page, and see our guide to tile underlayment replacement in Arizona.

New roof installation

For custom builds, additions and casitas in west Glendale, we install new tile, shingle, metal and low-slope systems and match the look of the main house where the HOA expects it. Details on materials and scheduling are on our new roof installation page.

Roof inspections for buyers, sellers and owners

Glendale has a lot of resale homes built 30 to 50 years ago, so we do many pre-listing and pre-purchase roof reports. We walk the roof, photograph each defect and tell you what can wait. See what is included in a free roof inspection.

Commercial roofing near Westgate and the Loop 101

Retail strips, offices, churches and light industrial buildings across Glendale mostly sit under flat roofs: foam, TPO, modified bitumen or coated surfaces. We repair, recoat and replace them, and set up maintenance plans so drains and seams are checked before monsoon. Start with our commercial roofing services.

Monsoon damage and insurance help

When a summer storm cracks tile or peels back shingles, we document the damage with dated photos and can meet your adjuster on the roof. Our insurance claim inspection is free.

What Glendale roofs deal with

Glendale sits at roughly 1,150 feet on the flat valley floor, which means long stretches above 110 degrees, intense UV and very little rain until monsoon arrives. Between June 15 and September 30, dust storms and microbursts can move across the city with little warning. The damage pattern depends on the age of the house:

• Early 1900s to 1950s homes near downtown. Low-pitch or flat roofs, often layered over the years. Ponding, rotted decking at the edges and old roll roofing are common.
• 1970s and 1980s tract homes. Many started with shingles or early concrete tile. Original felt under tile is past its typical life, and flat sections over porches often need recoating or replacement.
• 1990s and 2000s HOA communities. Concrete tile is the norm. Underlayment is reaching the 20–25 year range where it commonly wears out, especially on south and west slopes.
• Newer builds in west Glendale. Fewer age problems, but we still find flashing and penetration issues from fast construction, plus wind-lifted ridge and hip tile.

Permits, HOAs and codes in Glendale

Inside city limits, the City of Glendale is the building authority, and we pull permits where the city requires them for the work being done. A few addresses with a Glendale mailing label sit in unincorporated Maricopa County, so we confirm the jurisdiction before we schedule.

HOA approval is the bigger hurdle in places like Arrowhead Ranch. Most associations want the tile profile and color on file before work starts. We send the HOA the product sheet and color name with your application, which usually keeps the approval moving. If the original tile color has been discontinued, our guide to tile roof colors helps you pick a match the board will accept.

How to choose a roofer in Glendale

• Look up the licence. Arizona roofing work needs an R-42 (residential), C-42 (commercial) or CR-42 (dual) licence. Search the company at roc.az.gov before you sign.
• Ask what happens to the underlayment. On a Glendale tile roof, a quote that only mentions replacing broken tile may leave the real problem in place.
• Be careful after big storms. Out-of-town crews tend to arrive after a monsoon event. Under A.R.S. § 32-1158.02 you can cancel a roofing contract that depends on an insurance claim, and the contractor is not allowed to negotiate the claim on your behalf.
• Get photos and a written scope. You should be able to see the problem, not just hear about it.

Roof costs and financing in Glendale

Price depends on roof size, pitch, material and whether decking needs replacing, so we quote after inspecting. To get a feel for the numbers first, read our Arizona roof replacement cost guide, try the roof replacement calculator, or look at roof financing options if you would rather spread the payments out.
