Phoenix sits in a hot desert climate (Köppen: BWh).
Brutal heat. Extreme UV. Almost no rain. Massive temperature swings. The sun destroys more roofs here than storms ever will. UV breaks shingle adhesives. Asphalt loses granules early. Underlayment dries and cracks. Thermal expansion splits tiles. Flat roofs blister in summer. When it’s 115°F outside, your roof surface hits 160°F+. No cheap roof survives that.
8–12 years.
Yes — that short.
12–18 years.
Tiles: 40–60 years
Underlayment: 20–30 years (the real failure point)
15–20 years.
35–55 years.
Handles heat very well.
| Roofing Type | Cost per Square | 2,000 sq ft Roof |
|---|---|---|
| Architectural Asphalt | $650–$950 | $13,000–$19,000 |
| Tile Roof | $1,400–$2,200 | $28,000–$44,000 |
| Metal Roofing | $1,300–$2,000 | $26,000–$40,000 |
| Foam Roof | $350–$600 | $7,000–$12,000 |
Phoenix is one of those cities where tile is common but expensive.
Arizona requires a ROC (Registrar of Contractors) Roofing License.
Phoenix also requires:
Re-roof permits
Reflective underlayment in many cases
Proper ventilation for attic heat
Cheap roofers skip ventilation. That kills roofs early here.
You’ll burn through shoes and shingles at the same time
Underlayment is fragile in this climate
Bad ventilation = instant attic oven
Insurance denies all homeowner installs
DIY roofing + Phoenix heat = guaranteed redo.
