Residential Roofing

As the premier roofing company in Arizona we understand the unique roofing needs of our community. The harsh Arizona sun silently wreaks havoc on our roofs. The damage rarely reveals itself until one of those 36 days of potential down pours.

The first line of defense is always a good offense.

As a roofing contractor in this unique environment since 1993, we understand the importance of quality materials and workmanship to stave off the effects of harsh sun exposure. The abundant sun and the relatively few rainy days for which Arizona is famous, make the choice of roofing materials very important. Your roof’s durability depends on several factors: type and quality of roofing materials, manufacturer, attachment method, preparation work (overlaying old roofs or removing and replacing), life expectancy, best colors for the desert, cost and warranty. Contact the residential experts at Lyons Roofing to help you choose the "right roof" for your personal tastes, your roof style and the technical features of roofing options that protect your home.

We work hard 365 days a year

We also understand the critical importance of systems and efficiencies to meet the surge of customer demand once the infrequent rains reveal roof damage. We work hard 365 days a year to meet your needs for those infrequent rainy days that threaten your home, family and personal belongings. We know it is more than a house- we understand it is your home.

Things to Consider

How well do you really know your roof?

1. Age of Roof:

If your roof was installed to manufacturer’s specifications and maintained properly, your roof will have a much longer life span.

2. Multiple layers:

If your roof has more than one layer of roofing, the roof should be torn off. In most cases, this is a code requirement; codes rarely permit more than two layers of roofing.

3. Bad Decking:

Spongy areas and sagging areas between the rafters or trusses are usually good indicators of damaged or deteriorated wood. If there is any suspicion of bad decking, a full tear off should be considered.

4. Incompatible Shingles:

Due to manufacturer improvements in materials, processes and color, attempting to repair or replace portions of your roof may result in difficulties in matching your existing roof to newer product. This is due to color variances, differences in sizing (metric vs. standard), and discontinued products. Some colors have been discontinued and due to normal weathering matching an existing color can prove very challenging.

5. Existing roof is in poor condition:

If the existing roof is in really poor shape, such as tabs being severely curled, granule loss, or bald areas, then complete tear off and replacement should be considered. If you have a foam roof with exposed foam (yellow or orange in color) you need an evaluation to determine if the roof can be coated or needs to be torn off.

6. Leaks:

If you have multiple leaks, in the same or different areas it is time to have your roof thoroughly evaluated. Leaks may also show up in the form of dry rot on fascia, this is caused by water traveling under the roofing material and exiting at the fascia.

7. Shorter Life Span

There is no known documented research, but most roofing professionals agree that with an overlay, the average lifespan of the shingles will be shortened by about 10%-20%.

Additionally, if your roof is not properly ventilated the life of your will be significantly affected. This is especially so in the hotter regions of the country. This will also affect your manufacturer’s warranty. The rule of thumb is 1 sq. ft. of ventilation for each 300 sq. ft. of attic space, evenly distributed between intake and exhaust ventilation.
