Tempe is one of the Valley's most established cities, home to Arizona State University and Tempe Town Lake, with neighborhoods that span seven decades of construction. That means a wider range of roofs than in the newer suburbs, from flat and foam roofs on 1950s and 1960s ranch homes to tile in south Tempe. For leaks, storm damage or a replacement estimate, call or text (602) 339-9540.
Tempe roofs at a glance
- North and central Tempe: many mid-century and 1970s homes with flat, low-slope and foam roofs, plus asphalt shingle.
- Neighborhoods near ASU: a high share of rental homes and small multifamily buildings, where roofs often get deferred maintenance.
- South Tempe: 1980s and 1990s master-planned neighborhoods, mostly with concrete tile.
- Additions and Arizona rooms on older homes, often with their own low-slope roof sections.
Common roof problems in Tempe
Worn foam and flat roof coatings
Flat and foam roofs are everywhere in older Tempe neighborhoods. When the coating wears through, the sun breaks down the foam and leaks follow. See roof coatings and foam and flat roof repair.
Aging shingle roofs
Shingle roofs on older homes are often brittle and losing granules. See shingle roof repair and roof replacement.
Tile underlayment in south Tempe
Tile roofs from the 1980s and 1990s are well past the typical life of original underlayment. See tile underlayment replacement.
Layered repairs on older roofs
Decades of patches can hide rotted decking and failed flashing. A free roof inspection shows what is really there.
Rental property roofs
Landlords and property managers need clear estimates, photos and reliable scheduling around tenants. We provide all three.
