Metal Roofing in Tempe

Older than most of the East Valley: 1950s–70s ranch and low-slope block near downtown and ASU, 1980s–90s south Tempe, and scattered newer infill. Flat and low-slope decks are common; tile shows up more south of Baseline. As those 1950s roofs age out in the valley, metal is the upgrade we recommend most often in Tempe, because it reflects valley heat, takes hail better than shingle, and lasts twice as long. Done right, it is a 40-to-60-year roof. Done wrong, it leaks at year three at every fastener and panel end. The difference is entirely in the installer.

What Tempe does to a roof: older ranch and block homes pond at scuppers and patio covers Tempe sits lower and denser; roof-surface temps and attic heat run high A complete metal system here is more than panels: high-temp synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield at valleys and penetrations, ridge and intake ventilation sized to the attic, and light or cool-rated colors that reflect heat instead of soaking it up, properly hemmed eave and rake trim, sealed closures at ridge and hip, and either concealed clips (standing seam) or gasketed screws in the flat of the panel, never in the rib.

tight lots, alley load-in, and occupied rentals change how a crew stages re-roofs need a permit; historic or design overlay can apply near downtown We install standing seam for homes and cabins where the roof is the architecture, and exposed-fastener panels for shops, barns, and budget-conscious homes. Both come in the black, blue, brown, gray, green, red, and tan you see across our Tempe jobs.

Neighborhood by neighborhood: Downtown / Mill Avenue, Tempe Town Lake, and Mitchell Park are where most Tempe metal conversations start. Kiwanis Park area, South Tempe, and Warner / McClintock add outbuildings and shops where exposed-fastener panels are the practical choice.

Most Tempe metal installs are two to three days: tear-off and dry-in day one, panels and trim day two, details and cleanup day three. City of Tempe permit for re-roofs; historic or design overlay review can apply near downtown and some planned south Tempe neighborhoods. We pull the permit and handle the paperwork. You get photos at every stage and a walkthrough of the finished roof.
