Common roofs and code notes in Arizona

Concrete tile and foam (SPF) flat roofs are common, with asphalt shingles on many newer and lower-cost homes. Heat and UV, not hail, usually decide roof life, and tile roofs mostly fail at the underlayment. Monsoon storms bring wind-driven rain and occasional hail. Permits come from your city or county building department.

Arizona rules homeowners should know

Licensing

Arizona classifies residential roofing as its own specialty license (R-42) with the Registrar of Contractors. The handyman exemption covers only small jobs under $1,000 in labor and materials that need no permit. [4]

Contractor license or registration in Arizona: ROC 327529 (CR-42 Roofing); ROC 296564 (B General Residential); ROC 299522 (B-2 General Small Commercial). Verify it with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors search. Contractor licensing details.

What homeowners say

I had a great experience with [the contractor]. They did an amazing job on our roof and had the entire thing done in just one day, which honestly impressed me.

Mike Jensen was fantastic to work with from start to finish. He came out, went over the whole scope of the project with me, and helped me figure out what would actually be best for our particular house. I really appreciated that he wasn’t trying to upsell me on things I didn’t need and was honest about what would and wouldn’t be worth doing.

Communication was great, the work ethic was excellent, and the turnaround was incredibly quick. Everything was easy and straightforward, and I’m very happy with the quality of the work.

I would definitely recommend [the contractor] and Mike Jensen to anyone looking for a dependable, responsive, and honest roofing company.

I would highly recommend. They did my 34 year old roof about a week ago. They were very well priced and the job was done in one day and cleanup the same day. The roof looks excellent and now has bird covers to prevent birds from nesting under the tile. Great communicate with Aaron from estimate to completion.

Daniel K.Gilbert, AZGoogle review of a contractor in our local network

[the contractor] were an excellent choice for our storm damage/re-roofing, and they arranged gutter install. Sam was professional, courteous, and made sure my mom, who lives there, was comfortable with the process. He made sure all was on time & went smoothly. Some neighbors had roofing supplies-thin paper, shingles sitting on their roof for over a month with no one fixing it! Ours was done with quality, thick roofing paper and shingles expediently and professionally. Quality work and service. We highly recommend!
