Desert Sky Roof Coating Assists with Green Valley Monsoon Cleanup Efforts
Devastating hailstorms struck Green Valley with full force in July of 2022. Lifelong residents of the area had never seen a hailstorm with such intensity and force. Homes and businesses were pummeled by 1.5 inch hail stones roughly the size of a ping pong ball. Wind gusts of up to 60 mph caused the hail to batter everything in its path. They bounced against homes, and in some cases, through them.
Following the storms, residents of Green Valley surveyed the damage. Paint chipped off of their homes. Many of them took damage to their roofs or lost windows. Screens were ripped from porches and skylights were shattered. No one could have predicted or prepared for the severity of the hailstorms, and neighborhoods were devastated.
Desert Sky Roofing Helped Green Valley Residents Manage the Aftermath
Large hail flying at high speeds can cause severe damage to roofs, leaving homes unsafe. Damaged roofs need to be repaired quickly before leaks turn into water damage, causing mold and rot within the structure of a home.
Roofing contractor Bill Kimbley, owner of Desert Sky Roofing, was quick to act. Issues like shattered skylights needed immediate repairs to prevent rain from pouring directly into homes. Homeowners in Green Valley were in a vulnerable position, and when people are vulnerable, some contractors use predatory tactics. Kimbley put himself in the middle.
Kimbley purchased all the skylights he could find in Tucson. He kept them at standard cost to prevent opportunistic roofers from price gouging senior citizens in Green Valley. He promptly got to work performing affordable repairs for the community.
Desert Sky Roofing served many dozens of homes in Green Valley that needed a skylight replacement following the hailstorm. Desert Sky Roofing prides itself on our ability to show up when our community needs us and provide the highest possible level of service to homeowners in need of urgent help.
Desert Sky Roofing Assists Green Valley Residents with All of Their Roofing Needs
Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home. Although you don’t see your roof or spend much time up there, it’s constantly working for you. Very hot weather, monsoons, and events like hailstorms can take a huge toll on your roof. Desert Sky Roofing is always here to keep your roof safe and structurally sound.
Roof Inspection
It’s important to have your roof inspected at least once a year, even if you don’t suspect that there’s anything wrong. Inspections can spot small problems before they turn into large problems that are much more complicated and expensive to fix.
You’ll also want a roof inspection on a house you’re about to sell or a house you’re about to buy. Buyers need to know that there isn’t any hidden damage to a roof before they purchase a house. You can call Desert Sky Roofing for an inspection before real estate changes hands.
Roof Coating
Elastomeric roofs are designed to withstand a wide array of weather conditions, but they require some upkeep. Regular roof coating keeps your elastomeric roof leak free through monsoon season. Elastomeric roof coatings usually last 4-6 years, but severe weather like hail can cause damage to the integrity of your coating. Desert Sky can perform roof coating services for you, or we can provide you with the tools to do it yourself.
Roof Repairs
Coated roofs, ranch style roofs, and Santa Fe style roofs each have unique advantages and disadvantages. Coated roofs sometimes need patch repair or wood replacement. Santa Fe style roofs often need scupper repair or fixes for minor parapet cracks. Ranch style roofs often need drip edge repair. Desert Sky Roofing will be able to diagnose and repair issues specific to your roof.
Asphalt Shingle Roofs
Desert Sky Roofing can repair or replace asphalt shingle roofs. Older asphalt shingle roofs commonly have a vulnerability where one shingle at the top of the row isn’t properly secured. If a gust of storm wind pulls that shingle loose, it will likely remove a whole row of shingles. If you lost shingles during the hailstorm and you haven’t had them replaced, Desert Sky Roofing can help.
Emergency Roof Repairs
Emergency roof repairs, like replacing a broken skylight after a hailstorm, are some of the most important services that Desert Sky Roofing provides for the Green Valley community. Severe roof damage can pose a threat to your personal safety, as well as the general safety of your home. Desert Sky Roofing will always be there when you need us for a dependable emergency solution.
Don’t Be Caught Unaware Next Monsoon Season
Desert Sky Roofing can inspect and repair your roof prior to monsoon season. Although there’s no way to stop hail, you can give your roof a fighting chance. If you’re looking for a Roofer in Green Valley, contact Desert Sky Roofing when you’re ready to start prepping for the stormy season.
If you’re a Tucson homeowner in need of shingle roof replacement, getting a detailed and honest estimate is a crucial first step. Not all roofing contractors are the same — and not all roofs are, either. The Arizona heat, monsoon winds, and sun exposure make it essential to choose a roofing company that understands local conditions and uses the right materials. Asking the right questions helps you feel confident in your roofing contractor and ensures your roof repairs or full replacement will be done correctly.
Below are seven smart questions you should ask your estimator or Tucson roofing company before hiring a roofing company in Tucson:
Is the company licensed, bonded, and insured?
This should be the first question you ask any roofing contractor. Arizona law requires roofing companies to be licensed, bonded, and insured. A licensed contractor has met state requirements and carries the appropriate insurance in case something goes wrong. If your estimator or roofing company can’t provide their ROC number and proof of insurance, that’s a red flag. Hiring a properly licensed roofing company protects you from liability and ensures the job is done to professional standards.
What warranties do they offer on materials and labor?
Warranties are a key part of any roofing job. You’ll want to know how long the shingles are warrantied by the manufacturer and whether the roofing company backs up their own workmanship. For example, laminated (architectural) shingles — which are now the standard since three-tab shingles are no longer available in Arizona — often come with extended warranties and superior wind resistance. Be sure to get all warranties in writing, and ask your roofer estimator to walk you through what’s covered.
What type of underlayment do they use?
The underlayment is a critical component that sits beneath your shingles and adds an extra layer of protection against leaks. In Arizona’s intense climate, a high-quality synthetic underlayment is best. It resists heat, doesn’t absorb moisture like felt paper, and holds up better over time. A reliable roofing company will always include synthetic underlayment in their shingle replacement process. If your estimator doesn’t mention it — ask.
How long does the shingle replacement process take?
Time matters, especially if you’re trying to schedule around monsoon season or HOA approvals. Ask how long the shingle roof replacement will take from start to finish, including tear-off, installation, and cleanup. Most shingle roof replacements can be completed in one to three days depending on the size of the home, weather conditions, and any needed wood repairs. A professional roofing contractor should provide a clear timeline in your estimate.
Will they inspect and replace damaged wood decking if necessary?
Removing old shingles often reveals damage underneath. It’s important that your roofing contractor inspects the wood decking and replaces any rotted or warped sections. A proper estimate should outline that any necessary decking repairs will be included, and the estimator should explain how those costs will be handled if they arise. Skipping this step can compromise the entire roofing system.
Would ridge vents be a good option for your roof?
In Tucson, keeping your attic cool reduces heat transfer into your home and helps your roof last longer. Ask your estimator about installing ridge vents or upgrading any existing attic ventilation. Proper ventilation helps reduce moisture and heat buildup, improves energy efficiency, and is often overlooked by less experienced roofers. A well ventilated roof will last you longer.
What brand of shingles does the roofing company recommend?
While most roofing contractors, including Desert Sky Roofing, can install all major shingle brands, the estimator should be able to recommend a brand or line that performs best in Southern Arizona’s climate. Laminated shingles with a high wind rating are ideal for Tucson homes due to their durability and impact resistance. Your estimator should explain the differences clearly and offer a color and style selection that matches your home.
