4 Telltale Signs that You Need a Roof Inspection
4 Telltale Signs that You Need a Roof Inspection Your roof won’t last forever – even though you may wish it would. Typically, a shingle roof will only last about 15 to 20 years. Sometimes, you can get a few more years out of it with quality materials and consistent maintenance. If you have a tile roof in Phoenix, you can expect it to last a couple of decades longer, but you’ll still be looking at an expiration date. You shouldn’t just look at your roof’s age to know that it’s time to replace it. You may be getting more time out of it with your consistent care. Instead, you should look at these four telltale signs to know that you may need a new roof – and that you need a roof inspection at a minimum: Curling or Missing Shingles One of the signs that your Phoenix shingle roof is aging is that some of the individual shingles start to curl up around the edges or that they have fallen off the roof completely (or been blown off).

Something as seemingly benign as leaf clutter can actually wear away at your roof over time. Leaves, branches, and other organic matter can break down over time, attracting pests and composting right on your roof. That process can eat into [...]

Roofing Durability: Should You Choose Tile or Shingle?
Roofing Durability: Should You Choose Tile or Shingle? Drive around any Arizona neighborhood and you are likely to see predominantly two roofing types: Shingle and tile. There’s a good reason for that! Both shingle and tile roofing are relatively affordable and long-lasting, and they both stand up to the harsh conditions of the Arizona climate. But you may be stumped about which one to get. You like them both, and you hear good things about both. Should you go with tile or shingle roofing? Here are a few things you need to consider, especially in terms of durability: Water Damage Arizona has harsh monsoon storms every year, and the Phoenix Valley Area gets hammered with punishing rains. Those storms can take a toll on your roof. Phoenix Shingle roofing tends to suffer more damage from the excessive water exposure. Shingles can rot if exposed to standing water.

Is It Legal or Ethical for Your Roofer to Waive Your Insurance Deductible?
Is It Legal or Ethical for Your Roofer to Waive Your Insurance Deductible? Allstate Roofing representatives are routinely asked by customers whether it is possible for us to “cover the deductible” on an insurance claim for roof repairs near Mesa. This puts our representatives in a difficult and awkward position. Here, we will attempt to briefly explain the insurance claim process and let homeowners determine for themselves what is a legal and ethical business practice. The Insurance Claims Process In the past, “absorbing” an insurance deductible would have been perfectly legitimate for a Mesa roofing contractor. As recently as 20 years ago, insurers gave homeowners lump sum payments when a loss occurred; the deductible was simply removed from that total. In fact, it was not only legal for the homeowner to keep the deductible; it was entirely up to the consumer whether the repairs had to be completed at all. If, for example, you needed to replace your shingle roof after a massive hailstorm, your insurance adjuster may have determined that it would cost $15,000 for a new roof [...]

The Future of Roofing
The Future of Roofing For years, Elon Musk and Tesla have been revolutionizing the automobile industry. Now Tesla is poised to disrupt the roofing industry with a new solar product. The company acquired Solar City. Tesla said it will be using that solar technology to create a new type of roofing shingle made of tempered glass that will harness the energy of the sun to power homes. ‘Electricity is Just a Bonus’ Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, said that the new solar roofing that Tesla is going to produce will cost less than a traditional roofing system. Typically, when we talk about the costs of a solar roof, we talk about how the energy savings over time will offset the initial cost of the roof. However, Musk says that the Tesla solar roof will cost so little that the savings from the lower energy usage will be “just a bonus.” Instead of using the big solar grids that we think of now for solar roofs, the Tesla roof will have individual shingles made of textured glass. The tiles [...]

In fact, the rooftop is the main barrier against moisture moving into the interior spaces.Residential Roofing contractors must inspect and repair tile, shingles, underlayment and other roofing system components on a frequent basis to prevent any roof leaks from developing over time. Residential homeowners should be aware of several household locations that are vulnerable to leaks. Water damage prevention starts with all of the roofing areas being securely covered with underlayment and tile or shingles.

Any rooftop exposure leaves the surface open to moisture leaks into the underlayment and the wood decking below.

What is a Glendale Tile R&R?
What is a Glendale Tile R&R? Your Glendale, AZ tile roof may still look great to the casual observer, despite the fact that it is 15 to 20 years old. Sure, you see a few cracked tiles, but tile lasts forever, right? Unfortunately this is a common misconception when it comes to tile roofs. While concrete roof tile does have a long life span, the reality is that the tile itself is largely decorative. The tile underlayment is what actually stops water from getting through your roof and into your home, and the underlayment wears out with time. Any cracked or broken tiles expose the underlayment to the harsh Arizona sun, speeding the process of deterioration even more. If your Glendale tile roof is over 15 years old, it is time to have the underlayment evaluated by a licensed Glendale roofing contractor. Whether you’re considering a full tile roof replacement or looking for a tile roof repair, Allstate Roofing is a trusted roofing company that has the expertise to properly evaluate your tile roof. Often, a Tile R&R can [...]
