Arizona is known as the hot and sunny state but, residents know how gloomy and rainy it can get. During our storms, we experience heavy rainfall, strong winds, and lightning. With this combination, it can be devasting to our roofs.

As the winter steadily approaches, it’s crucial to prioritize the safety and maintenance of your roof. In Arizona, the seasonal downpours present unique challenges for roofing structures. It’s important to understand how these conditions can impact your roof. We are here to help you gain insight on identifying storm damage and how to fix these issues.

How do storms cause issues to Arizona roofs?

1. Leaks: If your roof has cracks or other damages, you’re vulnerable to having roof leaks and water damage. When the water goes through holes and cracks, the roof and other areas of the home are susceptible to damage. Your ceiling is at risk for water damage and collapsing, and mold can grow throughout the roof and other areas of the home. To avoid this, have your roof inspected by an expert roofing contractor. If your roof requires repairs, get them taken care of right away to avoid future costly repairs or even replacement.
2. Missing or Broken Shingles: Fierce winds can lift and sweep away roof tiles. Without every tile and material being there in proper condition, the foundation of the roof and the rest of your home, is defenseless against leaks, water damage, mold, and rodents. Be sure to check for missing and damaged tiles or hire a roof inspector to do this for you. Repair or replace the damaged or missing tiles to ensure the integrity of your roof.
3. Debris Impact: When we get strong winds, the likelihood of having objects like branches, trees, and even trampolines, hit or land on our roof causing damage is very high. If your roof is impacted, it is important to make repairs right away to avoid costly repairs from the damage progressing.
4. Pooling Water: Flat roofs are highly likely to have pooling water after heavy rainfall. Pooled water sitting for an extensive amount of time, can lead to leaks, mold, or extensive damages leading to replacement. Have a roofer determine the best option for correcting this issue. They might need to make repairs to the roof or to the drainage system.
5. Damage to Flashings: What is a flashing? A flashing is a metal material intended to seal around chimneys, vents, and skylights. When the flashings become worn out or damaged, water and rodents can easily go through cracks and cause other interior problems. Hire a roof inspector to assess for damages and reseal if necessary.
6. Clogged Gutters & Drain Systems: When leaves, dirt, and other debris clog your gutter or drain system, there isn’t proper drainage leading to water overflowing on your roof. This can cause water damage to the roof if not taken care of right away. Call a reliable service provider to clear the gutters and maintain the drainage system.

Are you searching for a roofing contractor to replace your roof? Have you thought about the questions you’re going to ask? You might be wondering now… “What is there to ask?” 🤔 When you’re on the hunt for a roofing contractor you don’t want just any joe shmoe off the street. Your goal should be to find the best and licensed roofing company that will fit your needs. 

Start asking these questions… 

1.) What is the full company name and address? 

2.) Do you carry general liability and workers compensation? 

3.) Do you have the suitable licensing to perform this work? 

4.) What is your labor warranty? 

5.) Do you use subcontractors? 

6.) When did you start your business? 

7.) What type of estimates do you provide? 

8.) What is your process to ensure the job is done timely and with quality?

The unfortunate truth is that there are individuals who claim to be professional roofers but have little to no credentials. A guy that shows up to your house with a tool bag claiming to be a roofer isn’t always a roofer. Sure, they can give it a try but if you care about your family’s safety and the longevity of the roof, you’ll politely send them on their way!  

Spend the extra time finding a licensed and qualified roofer for these reasons… 

1. Quality: A licensed roofing contractor has already put the time and effort into following and meeting requirements. A cheap and unlicensed roofer decided to take the lazy, easy, and most likely illegal route. You wouldn’t want that being reflected on your roof! A licensed roofer will ensure your roof is built with quality to keep you and your family safe.  

2. Knowledge: To become a licensed roofing contractor you must learn, study, past tests, learn more, study more, and pass more tests! If one too many questions get answered wrong, the individual won’t get their license. The dedication and understanding must be there to become a licensed roofing contractor. They will have most if not all the answers to your questions and be able to properly install a new roof with confidence. 

3. Accurate Estimates & Contracts: A licensed contractor will take the time to provide a detailed estimate so you aren’t hit with any surprising fees. You’ll know what your money is going towards and won’t have the feeling like they’re taking advantage of you. 

4. Legality: Using a licensed roofing contractor gives you legal security in case something did go south. The roofing company will have general liability insurance and worker’s compensation. This will cover damage done by the roofers in the event something like that does happen because hey, we’re still human. 

Have the peace of mind knowing your roof will be installed properly when you use a licensed roofing company like Almeida Roofing Inc. We demonstrate our quality, knowledge, accuracy, and compliance to every customer we meet and through every roof we install.

The summers here in the Phoenix, Arizona area can be brutal when you combine the heat, humidity, and wind. Not only are we sweating in the 110+ degree weather, we will also be sticky from all the moisture monsoon season brings! If you’re complaining, how do you think your roof feels?  

Take-charge of your roof’s health by being proactive in ensuring it’s ready for summer and monsoon season! 

Trim Branches 

Get out the yard tools or call a landscaper to trim branches away from the roof. The trees may provide you a shaded roof but branches too close will eventually cause damage. When monsoon season brings high wind conditions, those tree branches can whip and break, causing harm to the gutters and/or tiles.  

Clean Roof & Gutters 

Clean the roof and gutters before the monsoon rain comes in. The leaves and other debris that accumulated over the months, need to be removed to ensure proper water drainage. This will guarantee water doesn’t get trapped, sit, and cause damage.  

Schedule Inspection 

The Arizona heat and sun are harsh on our roofs. This combination will cause roofing material to become brittle and crack. It is recommended to have a roof inspection done once a year to check for issues like loose gutters, cracked tiles, and other damaged roofing material.  

Repairs 

Most people will agree spending money on repairing your roof instead of remodeling the bathroom just doesn’t give you the same happy feeling… I agree! However, it is the better decision. Getting repairs done proactively will save you lots of money in the long run!

There are different materials that go into building a roof and one of those are the roofing tiles. While these are meant to protect you, they still wear down and crack over time. Cracked tiles can be caused by impact from falling objects, freezing, and weather. Sometimes you can get away with repairing a few random tiles but in more serious cases, replacement may be necessary. Whether you need roof repairs or replacement, it’s important to know how these cracks can happen.  

Causes of Broken/Cracked Roof Tiles 

1. Falling Objects 

2. Freezing and thawing  

3. Weather 

Falling objects could be things like… a branch from that giant tree on the side of your house or, if you’re really unlucky, an aircraft losing control and landing not so graciously on the roof. No matter what the object is, it’s possible to crack a shingle with it.  

When there is sitting water on the roof that freezes and thaws over and over again, this can cause the roofing tiles to crack. While the water goes through the roofing materials, the temperature fluctuating causes the cracks to occur.  

Here in Phoenix, Arizona, we occasionally get a crazy hail storm that lasts about 3 minutes. It may be a short time but the falling ice can cause cracks and holes in a matter of no time. When we get strong winds during monsoon season, the tiles have a chance of peeling or lifting.  

Whatever the reason, if you need a roofing specialist to give you direction on repairing or replacing your roof, Almeida Roofing Inc is available to help! Our professionals will inspect the roof and present you with options. We will work with you every step of the way to get your roof back in shape!

Maybe you have a leak, or there is just a spot on your roof that’s looking a little bit rough; how do you know when it’s time to replace your roof or just repair the damage?

The first step you need to take for any issues with your roof is to get it inspected by a trusted roofing contractor. A professional will be able to search for small damage or structural damage and be able to tell the difference. An inspection is most important because you may not need a full roof repair for a small area, and you wouldn’t want to only patch a small area when your whole roof needs to be replaced.

When deciding if you need a repair or replacement, consider the age and condition of your roof also. If your roof is over ten years old and there is significant damage, often the best choice is just to replace the whole thing. If your roof is newer and was just damaged in a small area from a storm or bad weather, then having a repair in that area might be all that’s needed. The general rule of thumb is that if the damage affects more than 30% of your roof, it’s better to replace it.

Oftentimes, cost has a lot to do with people’s decision on repairing or replacing. In the long run, if a professional has recommended a whole new roof, going that route will save money on further damage to the home or the structure that could have been avoided if the roof had been replaced. If cost is something you are concerned with, most homeowners insurance will cover roof replacement, depending on your policy.

If you think there’s an issue with your roof with their, small or large, give us a call for an inspection. 623.743.3175
