These articles are about one kind of roof: asphalt shingles in the Phoenix area. They cover what a summer of 100 degree days does to a shingle, what to check before and after monsoon season, the signs of a roof that’s drying out, how to weigh a replacement quote, why we use a soy-based treatment, and what to know before you sell a home with an older roof. Where we use a number, we link the source, mostly NOAA and the National Weather Service. When you’d like someone to look at your own roof, book a free roof evaluation.
