Most leaks are not the field of the roof. They are penetrations and transitions - step flashing at walls, pipe boots, valleys, chimney counterflashing. A roof can look sound and still leak at a boot that has gone brittle.
A tear-off versus an overlay is not just cost. A second layer hides the decking, so soft sheathing stays buried, and it holds heat that shortens the new shingles' life.
Intense sun and wide day-night temperature swings are the local stressors - UV degrades finishes and sealants fast, and repeated expansion opens joints.
What the job includes
- Full tear-off and replacement
- Leak diagnosis and targeted repair
- Flashing, valley and boot replacement
- Decking repair and ventilation
- Metal and low-slope systems

Measurable snow is rare (about 0 inches a year).2,3 Heat is the governing season: about 173 days a year reach 90°F and 111 reach 100°F.2,3 Long hot seasons shorten the life of dark asphalt shingles; a quote should state the shingle's rated wind and heat performance and whether a lighter color or a metal system is sensible. Owner-occupied homes in Tempe are older than rentals: a median build year of 1978 against 1989.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
