Roofing in the Alvarado Historic District, done right.

Alvarado is one of the period-revival pockets that make central Phoenix worth walking. These are 1920s-era homes built with real craft — Spanish Colonial Revival lines, clay tile, deep eaves, detail that nobody would pay to reproduce today. Working on a roof like this is as much a matching problem as a waterproofing one. Modern concrete tile does not sit the same way, catch light the same way, or belong on a house of this age, and a repair that ignores that is a repair that damages the thing you were protecting.

The practical challenges are what a century does to a building. Original clay tile is often still sound while everything beneath it has long since given up. Decking has been wet at some point and repaired by somebody with more enthusiasm than skill. Flashing at chimneys, parapets and roof-to-wall tie-ins has usually been improvised with sealant instead of metal. We source salvaged and matching tile rather than something close, we replace what has failed underneath, and we are family owned and operated, licensed, bonded and insured. Where original tile has been lost entirely we will tell you honestly what can be matched and what cannot, rather than quietly substituting a modern profile and hoping nobody looks up.

Historic districts also come with review requirements, and we are comfortable working inside them without making the paperwork your problem. Our top ratings across Google, Yelp and Facebook were earned on houses people genuinely care about. Every job carries an industry-leading warranty of up to thirty years.
