The roofing material you should choose for your house in Tempe will depend on factors such as your budget and how often you're willing to do maintenance.
Slate is more expensive but lasts longer, while asphalt will be cheaper up front but will require more maintenance. In Tempe, winters can be cold. This can make a wood roof, with its superior insulation, a better choice for you. On the other hand, clay roofs can be beneficial during the summer, as they reflect Tempe's bright sunlight and save you money on cooling costs.
In Arizona, licenses are granted and maintained through the Registrar of Contractors. You can verify a company's or individual's license on their website.
The average lifespan of a roof is 15 to 30 years. If your roof is somewhere in this range (particularly on the higher end), consider scheduling an inspection. Your roof may also need replacing if it suffers frequent or significant damage, for example from severe weather or downed trees. In Tempe, your roof is more likely to be damaged by a weather event, and might need to be replaced more often.
It generally takes between one and five days to replace a roof. Variables that could influence the timeline include the size of your roof, how easily accessible it is, and what the weather is like in Tempe during the process. .
The best roofing color for you depends on several factors like the style and color of your house and the local climate. For example, if you have a Spanish style home, then you'll most likely want a terracotta roof to match the style. Also, those in a hot climate (like Tempe) may want to avoid darker colors because they absorb heat, which makes cooling your home more difficult.
