Roof Repairs Tucson

Tucson’s Best Roof Repair Company

If you are looking for a roofing company that can take care of your roof repairs in Tucson, look no further! Desert Sky Roofing can help you with almost any type of roof.  A well-maintained roof is essential for protecting your home or business from the harsh Tucson weather. Monsoons, high winds, extreme sun, and hail storms in Tucson can cause damage to you roof so it is good to have a Tucson roofer in  your phone that you can trust.  Here are some of the roof repairs we often help our clients with.

Roof Coating Repairs

Flat and low-slope roofs in Tucson often use acrylic elastomeric coatings for  waterproofing and reflectivity. However, over time, these coatings can degrade due to the sun’s exposure, ponding water, micromovements from the expansion and contraction of materials, hail damage, and even wind damage. If your coated roof is peeling, cracking, has scupper leaks, or other leaking issues, we can get it back into shape.

We use the top-of-the-line Tucson Rubberized roof coatings and always repair the roof the right way. Our roof coating repair process usually entails: 

• Identifying the leak: Some leaks are easy to detect, some are not. We have numerous ways to find the leak so we know exactly what needs repairing.
• Thorough Cleaning: Removing dirt, debris, and any loose coating in the area of the leak.
• Patchwork & Reinforcement: Sealing cracks and reinforcing problem areas with primer and polyester fabric.
• Reapplication of Coating: Applying a fresh coat of Tucson Rubberized elastomeric coating to the area.
• Full Roof Coating: If your roof needs a full recoating, we can provide a free roof estimate for the work that will include photos of the issues and a guarantee of how many buckets of roof coating material we will use.

We recommend doing touch ups on every elastomeric roof at least 3 years after the last recoating. We also recommend accomplishing roof coating repairs annually, usually before the monsoon rains.  Regular roof coating maintenance can extend the lifespan of your roof coating and reduce the timeframe between full coatings.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Repairs

Asphalt shingle roofs are common in Tucson due to their affordability and durability. However, extreme heat, high winds, hail, and monsoon storms can cause shingles to become loose, lifted, damaged, or missing. Shingle roof repairs is one of Desert Sky Roofing’s expertises. Here is a brief summary of our roof repair process for shingle roofs:

• Identify shingle damage: We will thoroughly examine the roof for hail damage, lifted or missing shingles, nail pops, etc. Once we identify the problems we can determine the best way to repair the roof.
• Replace missing shingles: We can usually replace shingles that have been torn off by the wind. We will seal nail holes and replace the shingles with as close of a match as possible to the original color of shingles.
• Leak Repairs: Some leaks on shingle roofs may come from flashings or nail pops. In this case, we will use the appropriate flashing cement to seal the areas.
• Flashing Replacements: Flashings can go bad, especially around vent pipe flashings. We can remove the shingles in those areas and replace the flashing and reseal with roof cement and new shingles.

This list is not exhaustive on potential repairs we can perform on your roof. Give us a call and set up a free inspection if you feel you need shingle roof repairs.

Tile Roof Repairs

Much of Tucson has tile roofs because they are beautiful in looks and durable for this climate. Tile roofs can often last 20-25 years or even more before needing replaced, but during that time some tile roof repairs are usually needed.  Here are some of the typical tile roof repairs that our Tucson roofing company performs:

• Full inspection: We will inspect the tiles, flashings, valleys, dead valleys, ridges, underlayments, weather blocks, bird blocks, etc. We will do a thorough check over your entire roof so that you will know what tile roof repairs should be performed.
• Replace broken tiles: The most common repair we make on tile roofs is replacing individual broken or cracked tiles. 
• Underlayment Repairs: If a tile has been broken for some time, the underlayment will be exposed to the elements which can cause a breakdown in the materials. This often leads to the need for the underlayment to be replace in that area.
• Mortar and Flashing Repairs: Mortar packs are made of cement and often crack. We can replace or repair cracked, broken, or missing mortar packs.
• Flashing Repairs: The weak spots in some roofs will be the vent flashings. After a few years the roofing cement can crack and leak. We can repair those areas or even replace the flashings as needed.
• Realign tiles: Not all tiles are nailed to the battens so they often shift over time. We can realign the shifted tiles.
• Full roof replacement: Some tile roofs are beyond repairs leaving the homeowner searching for a, “roofing company near me” on Google. If you need a full tile roof replacement we can provide an estimate and perform that work. We always use the best underlayments and materials.

Proper maintenance of tile roofs ensures they continue to protect your home for decades. It is important to get your tile roof inspected every year or so to ensure small problems don’t turn into big problems.

Skylight Repairs and Skylight Replacements

Many homes in Tucson have skylights installed so they can reduce energy costs and brighten up their homes. What many homeowners don’t realize is that most skylights are made of acrylic lenses that should be changed out every 7-10 years.  Over time these lenses oxidize and get brittle which leaves them vulnerable to the next hail storm. Some common skylight issues include:

• Stopped up weeps channels: Skylights have channels that remove water that gets passed the lenses. This channel should have weeps holes to drain the water. These holes can stop up with dirt or even roof coating.
• Cracked or opaque lenses: The sun eventually oxidizes acrylic skylight lenses which makes them brittle and opaque. At this point they can easily crack.  Cracked or cloudy lenses should be replaced with new lenses.
• Flashing Issues: Damaged flashing around the skylight can lead to water infiltration. Often times leaks come from cracks at the base of the skylights.

Desert Sky Roofing specializes in skylight repairs. We prefer to install new double lenses on replacement jobs so that you have double the protection and better energy efficiency. We order the lenses specially for your home and make sure they are produced with the best plastics on the market. We hope you will call DSR when you need a roofing contractor to inspect your skylights!
