About Tempe Roofing, a Careful Roofer in Tempe
We work on tile, shingle, foam and flat roofs. Before we recommend anything, we take the time to understand what is on your home now. Then we explain our findings in plain terms and leave the property as tidy as we found it.
How We Work on Your Roof
Most roofs here wear out from the bottom up. On a concrete tile roof, the tiles often outlast the underlayment beneath them by many years. A roof can look sound from the street while the layer that actually keeps water out has dried, cracked and pulled away from the nails. So we lift tiles and check what is underneath before we say a word about repair or replacement.
That habit shapes every job. When a repair will do the job, we tell you so. When the underlayment, flashing or decking is worn through, we walk you through pictures of what we found and why a patch on top of it would hold for only a short while. Your estimate is written line by line. It shows what goes into the price: the size and pitch of the roof, how easy it is to reach, the material you choose, and the condition of the deck once the old layers come off.
We also handle the parts most people would rather not think about. When the work calls for a permit, we pull it and arrange the city's sign-off. On the job, we cover plants and walkways and keep materials staged neatly along the drive. The crew gathers loose debris as the work goes, and on the final day we roll a magnetic bar over the yard, beds and driveway to pick up any nails that slipped off the roof.
What Guides Our Choices
- 01
The right system for the slope
A low-slope section over a patio needs a different system than a steep tile roof, and so does a flat-roof ranch. We recommend foam, tile, shingle or a flat-roof membrane based on pitch and drainage, not on what is easiest to sell.
- 02
Work planned around the heat
In summer, shingles soften and sealants set quickly. We schedule crew hours for the cooler part of the day. We also plan to have each section closed up before afternoon monsoon clouds build.
- 03
Costs explained before work starts
Your estimate includes a plain note on anything that could change it, such as soft decking found during tear-off. If something unexpected turns up, we stop, show you and agree on the next step together.

Attention to the small details
Much of a roof's life depends on the small work: flashing at walls, bedded ridge and hip tiles, sealed vents and pipe boots, and foam coated to the proper thickness. We give these the same care as the open field of the roof.
