Roofing in Tempe, Arizona, for older ranch roofs, campus-area heat, and low-slope decks.
Tempe is the oldest East Valley city we serve. 1950s–70s ranch and low-slope block still dominate near Mill and ASU. South Tempe is later and more tiled. We inspect the deck, the ponding, and the access — not a satellite guess at a 1962 ranch.

Where we work in Tempe
Different neighborhoods, different roofs.
Tempe is not one housing stock. Downtown, Mill Avenue, and Tempe Town Lake mix older residential roofs with occupied rentals and tight alley load-in. Mitchell Park and the Kiwanis Park area are mid-century ranch. South Tempe and the Warner / McClintock corridor are 1980s–90s, with more tile. Papago Park edge and Baseline / Rural add a few later infill roofs and commercial-adjacent lots. Each era gets a different inspection checklist.
What Tempe does to a roof
The four things we check first on every Tempe roof.
01 · Low-slope
Built-up decks and patio covers pond
Older ranch and block homes fail at scuppers and additions. We probe the deck and map the drain before anyone talks about another coating.
02 · Heat island
Lower, denser, hotter attics
Tempe sits lower than the rest of our East Valley list. Roof-surface temperatures and attic heat run high. Ventilation and color are part of the spec, not an upgrade.
03 · Access
Tight lots and occupied buildings
University-area streets, alleys, and rentals change staging, dumpster placement, and how a crew works around people who are home. We plan that on the inspection, not the morning of.
04 · City permit
Tempe, and overlays downtown
The City requires a re-roof permit. Historic or design overlay can apply near downtown. We file what the address actually needs.
