Tempe Roofing With Honest Answers on What Insurance May Cover
We repair and replace tile, shingle, foam and flat roofs on homes in Tempe, Mesa and Chandler. If wind or hail did the damage, we photograph it, write down what we see and walk you through how a claim usually works. We won't guess what your policy pays. That call belongs to your adjuster.

A Roofing Company That Talks Straight
Roofing Tempe is a local roofing company working on homes across the East Valley, from older ranch houses with flat and low-slope roofs to newer homes with concrete tile. Most roof problems here start with sun, not rain. Heat dries out underlayment, cooks shingles and wears down foam coatings. Then the first monsoon storm finds the weak spot.
We help with the paperwork side because a lot of homeowners hear from someone at the door that insurance will buy them a new roof. Sometimes it does. Often it doesn't. We'd rather give you the facts up front, take good pictures and let the process go where it goes.
Either way, the roof gets done right. Same materials, same care, same written scope.

How We Work With You
Dealing with an adjuster makes people nervous, and for good reason. Here's how we keep the roof work and the paperwork straight.
- 01
Photos you keep
We take pictures of every problem we find, close up and wide. You get copies. That way you have your own record of the roof to share with anyone who asks, instead of relying on someone else's.
- 02
Wear and damage, kept separate
Not every cracked tile came from last week's storm. Sun and age break things too. We tell you which is which, even when the honest answer doesn't help your claim.
- 03
No promises about coverage
We haven't read your policy, and we won't guess what it pays. We explain what an adjuster tends to look at and which questions are worth asking before you sign anything.
- 04
One scope, no matter who pays
The repair we write up is the repair your roof needs. It doesn't grow because insurance might be paying, and it doesn't shrink to hit a number.
- 05
A clean yard at the end
We cover plants and walkways, keep debris out of your gravel and run a magnet over the yard for nails before we leave each day.
From First Phone Call to Final Walk-Through
Here is the order things happen on your roof. We'll tell you which step we're on as we go.
- 1
You call us
Tell us what's happening: a drip in the hallway, tiles on the ground, a soft spot on the flat roof. On the phone we sort out the basics, like what kind of roof you have and where the water shows up, then pick a day to see it in person.
- 2
We look and take pictures
We go up and check the field of the roof, the valleys, the flashing and every pipe and vent. We photograph what we find, then come down and show you.
- 3
You get it in writing
You get a line-item estimate and our honest take on repair versus replacement. If you're filing a claim, we explain where our write-up fits in that process.
- 4
Work day
We protect the yard, tear off what has to go, fix what's underneath and build the roof back up. If something unexpected turns up under the old roofing, we show you before the plan changes.
- 5
Cleanup and walk-through
We clean up, sweep for nails and walk the finished job with you. If the permit calls for a final inspection, we schedule it and meet the inspector.
What Moves the Price of a Roof
We can't give you a number until we've seen the roof. Two homes on the same street can price far apart. These are the things that make the difference.
Every estimate is written line by line after we've looked at your roof. If an adjuster is involved, you can hand them the same estimate to compare against theirs.
- Roof type
- Tile, shingle and foam are different jobs with different materials. A tile roof often lets us reuse the tile and replace only the underlayment below, which changes the math a lot.
- What's under the top layer
- Underlayment, decking and flashing are where most leaks really start. If boards are soft or the underlayment has cracked from years of heat, that work goes into the price.
- Size, pitch and access
- Bigger roofs take more material. Steep pitches, two-story walls and tight side yards take more time and more safety setup.
- Foam thickness and coating
- On foam and flat roofs, the price depends on how much old foam has to come off, how thick the new layer goes and which coating goes on top to block the sun.
- Permits
- Replacements usually need a city permit and an inspection. We pull the permit and put its cost in the estimate so it doesn't show up later.
- Timing
- Summer heat means early starts and shorter work days. A big job planned for the cooler months usually wraps up in fewer days.
Where We Work
We're based in Tempe and work on homes across the surrounding area, including Guadalupe, Chandler, Mesa, Gilbert and Sun Lakes. We also take jobs in Paradise Valley and Glendale. The roofs change from town to town, but the way we document and explain the work stays the same.

Questions We Hear a Lot
Something not covered here? (480) 613-7195
Can you tell me if insurance will cover my roof?
No, and be careful with anyone who says they can. Coverage depends on your policy, your deductible and what the adjuster decides caused the damage. What we can do is show you what we found, explain whether it looks like sudden damage or normal wear, and give you photos and a written scope to share with your insurer.
Should I call my insurance company or a roofer first?
A lot of homeowners have us look at the roof before they report anything, so they have a clear picture of what's actually up there. Some insurers keep a record of every reported loss, even one that pays nothing. If the problem is age and wear, it may make more sense to just plan the repair. If it looks like wind or hail did it, we'll tell you that too, and the choice to file is yours.
Will you meet with my adjuster?
If you want us there, yes. We walk the roof with the adjuster, point out what we photographed and answer questions about how the roof is built. We don't argue on your behalf or act as your representative. Our job is to describe the roof accurately.
Can my tile roof be repaired, or does it need replacing?
Often the tile is fine and the underlayment under it is worn out. Concrete tile can last for decades, but the layer beneath it dries and cracks long before that. In that case we lift the tile, replace the underlayment and lay the same tile back, swapping out any broken pieces. If only a small area leaks, a repair may be enough for now.
What warranty do you offer?
Our work comes with a 10-year labor warranty. Any material warranty comes from the maker of the product we install. We go over both before the job starts so you know what's covered.
Do I need to be home while you work?
Not for most of the job. We'd like a few minutes with you on the first morning to agree on the plan, and again once the roof is done for the walk-through. On work days, keep cars out of the driveway and pets inside, since debris can fall near the edges of the roof.
When is the best time to do roof work?
Fall through spring is easiest on the crew and the materials. Summer jobs work fine, we just start early and stop before the worst heat. If you know your roof is near the end, plan the work before monsoon season instead of waiting for the first leak.
Talk Through Your Roof Before You Decide Anything
