What roof repairs does Icon Roofing handle?
Icon Roofing repairs the four roof types most common on Metro Phoenix homes: concrete and clay tile, asphalt shingle, flat foam and metal. We also repair storm damage from monsoon wind, rain and hail. Every repair starts with an inspection, so we fix the cause of the problem and not only the spot where it shows.
- Shingle repairs for lifted, cracked or missing shingles, plus worn flashing and vent boots.
- Repairs to cracked tiles and worn tile underlayment, including lifting and relaying tile over new underlayment.
- Foam and flat roof leak repair for blisters, cracks, ponding and worn coating.
- Metal panel, seam and fastener repairs on homes, patio covers and outbuildings.
- Repairs after hail and monsoon storms, with photos you can use for an insurance claim.
How do you know a roof repair will last?
A repair lasts when it fixes the cause, not only the drip. That means finding where water actually gets in, which is often a flashing, a vent boot or worn underlayment some distance from the ceiling stain. A lasting repair also uses matching material, so the patched area sheds water the same way as the rest.
Quick fixes fail in Arizona because the heat finds them. Roof cement smeared over a cracked tile or a gap in flashing dries out and cracks within a few summers. We replace the failed part instead of covering it up.
What roof problems are most common in Arizona?
The most common problems follow the roof type. Tile roofs leak when the underlayment under the tiles wears out. Shingle roofs lose granules and lift in wind. Foam roofs blister and crack once the coating wears thin. Metal roofs leak at loose fasteners, open seams and dried-out sealant around penetrations.
| Roof type | What usually fails | Typical repair |
|---|---|---|
| Concrete or clay tile | Underlayment, flashing, cracked or slipped tiles | Lift tiles, replace underlayment in the area, relay or replace tiles |
| Asphalt shingle | Lifted tabs, granule loss, vent boots, flashing | Replace damaged shingles, reseal or replace flashing and boots |
| Flat foam | Coating wear, blisters, cracks, ponding | Cut out damage, fill with foam, recoat |
| Metal | Fasteners, seams, sealant, rust spots | Replace fasteners, reseal seams, treat and coat rust |
When is a repair no longer worth it?
A repair stops making sense when you are paying for the same kind of fix every year, when damage covers large sections of the roof, or when the material is near the end of its life. At that point, the money you put into repairs is better spent on a new roof.
We tell you when we think you have reached that point, and we show you why with photos. If you are still on the fence, we explain what the next few years of repairs are likely to look like next to the cost of replacing the whole roof. The choice stays yours. Many homeowners repair now and plan a replacement for a later year.
What happens after you call for a repair?
After you call, we set a time to inspect the roof, find the source of the problem and photograph it. You get a written estimate that says what we will fix and what it costs. Once you approve it, our crew does the repair, cleans up, and checks the finished work before we leave.
Most repairs on a single area take one visit. Larger jobs, like replacing underlayment under a section of tile, can take a few days. Our office is open Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 4:00pm. If you have damage from a storm, book early in the season. Calls pick up quickly after the first big monsoon.
Can insurance or financing help pay for a repair?
Yes. If a storm caused the damage, your homeowners policy may cover the repair, minus your deductible. If the damage comes from age or wear, financing can spread the cost into monthly payments. Icon Roofing works with Wisetack for financing, and you can prequalify online before you commit to anything.
Read our step-by-step guide to roof insurance claims before you call your insurer, so you know what to document. If your claim was turned down, our page on what to do after an insurance denial covers your next steps. For wear-related repairs, see monthly payment options with Wisetack.
Where does Icon Roofing do roof repairs?
We repair roofs across Metro Phoenix from our office in Mesa. Most of our repair calls come from the East Valley, including Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert and Queen Creek. We also work regularly in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe and the West Valley. Each area has its own mix of tile, shingle and foam roofs.
Older Phoenix and Tempe neighborhoods have more flat and foam roofs. Scottsdale and Paradise Valley lean toward tile. Newer Gilbert and Queen Creek subdivisions have a lot of shingle and concrete tile. See roof repair and replacement in Mesa for our home city, or browse every city Icon Roofing serves.
