Shingle roofs are commonly seen on Arizona homes… Why? With temperatures fluctuating day & night and the crazy monsoon storms during the summer, we need a roof that can handle the conditions Arizona has to offer. Our homes must have durable roofs that can withstand the unpredictable climate variations. Here is a quick review of the pros and cons of using shingle roofs.

Pros:

• Versatility – Shingle roofs can be made of materials like asphalt fiberglass, wooden shingles, metal, slate, tile etc. 
• Inexpensive – Shingles are one of the most inexpensive roofing options. Material used for shingles have different costs so you have various options to choose from that works best for you.
• Easy Installation and Maintenance – Arizona roofing companies can easily and proficiently install shingle roofs. Regular maintenance is recommended to keep shingles clean and safe. 
• Fire Resistant – Shingles are fairly fire-resistant. Asphalt shingles can last 2 hours before catching fire unlike wooden shingles. Asphalt fiberglass shingles are the most fire-resistant among all other types of shingles.
• Easily Available – Shingles are easily found everywhere and anywhere. Available in different shapes types and colors too!

Cons:

• Lifespan – Metal and slate shingles are durable up to 50 years, but few shingles like asphalt, tile and wood are decreased to 30-35 years in life expectancy.
• Regular Inspection Required – Although the roof maintenance and repair is easy, regular inspection is required to avoid any damage.
• Vulnerable to Mildew – Improper roof installation, ventilation and leaks can lead to mold, mildew, and fungi.

People choose shingle roofs over other roofing types as it’s inexpensive, durable, and easily available in Arizona.

A house wouldn’t be very useful without a roof… it is the most essential part of the home. The roof protects our home from water damage and outside elements. Unfortunately, like with anything else, wear and tear happens overtime. It is important to know the signs when you should replace your roof to avoid property damage and injury. Don’t overlook the condition of your roof!

6 Signs It Is Time To Replace The Roof

1.) Water Damage: Take a peak upstairs or in the attic for signs of moisture. There could be brown, yellow, or grey stains. Peeling paint on the wall and ceilings also demonstrates a roof leak. If there is dampness in the attic, the roof is weakened causing water to get inside.

2.) Life Expectancy: On average, a roof can last 20-50 years depending on the type. Get records on when the roof was installed and if/ when it was replaced so you can guesstimate when it’ll be time to replace.

3.) Sagging: A sagging and droopy roof is an indication that moisture got captured causing boards under the roof to rot. Walk across the street to look at your roof. It’s supposed to look straight so you should be able to see any sagging.

4.) Mold & Fungi: I know, gross right? If you see mold and fungi, check for a possible roof leak. Not only is it absolutely disgusting but it’s not good for you and your family to breath in. Address the water leak and make sure to get rid of the mold and fungi too!

5.) Curling Shingles: If you see the shingles curled, it signals that they’re no longer securely attached and are damaged.

6.) Missing Shingles & Other Material: We have the best monsoon storms here in Arizona and they’re really cool to watch but then the next morning you walk out of your house to a tree on top of your car… not so cool. That wind gets intense! The high winds can cause your shingles to fly off along with the materials that are keeping everything intact.

Take the time to check the condition of your roof. Need repair or replacement, call a professional. If you’d like a specialist to inspect the condition of your roof, Almeida Roofing is always here to help! We will document our findings and walk through them with you.

We live in Arizona where the sun does nothing but shine! Some of us step outside for 5 minutes and end up with a sunburn. Not to mention the unbearably hot sidewalk you can’t take your dog for a walk on. Don’t get me wrong the sun is great but have you thought about what it could be doing to your roof? Sitting there just baking in that glorious summer sunshine ALL DAY. An unprotected roof can increase the risk for asphalt breakage, fading, warping, and cracking. To get longevity out of your roof, learn how to protect it.

Here are some ways to defend from the sun heat….

1.) Reflective Paint for Flat Roof: Coating the roof in white or silver is the cheapest and easiest option. All you need is paint, rollers, and a ladder. Poor some paint and start rolling!

2.) Gravel for Flat Roof: For increased roof protection, get reflective gravel poured on your roof. As an added bonus, it helps with drainage which is perfect for monsoon season!

3.) Reflective Membrane: Using fasteners, these prefabricated sheets are attached to the roof for protection from the sunlight and heat. For your safety, it’s best to hire a professional!

4.) Solar Panels: Two birds, one stone?… Why not?! Shade your roof and save money on your electric bill by getting solar panels installed.
