Roofing in Arcadia, done right.

There is no other stretch of Phoenix quite like Arcadia, and the difference is written on the rooflines. These are low, long ranch houses from the forties and fifties, sitting on irrigated lots under grapefruit and orange trees that were planted before the lots were lots. Camelback Mountain looms at the end of half the streets. It is beautiful, and it is also a roofer’s puzzle: seventy-year-old framing, original wood shake replaced somewhere along the way by tile that may or may not have been flashed properly, and mature trees dropping debris into every valley and scupper on the house.

We have spent a lot of hours on Arcadia roofs, and we have learned to look where the trouble actually hides. Flood irrigation keeps the lawns green and the soil moving, which the house feels eventually. Big shade trees are a gift in July and a liability in August, when a plugged valley turns a monsoon cell into an interior problem. Remodels are constant here, and every addition is a seam where two roofs meet and argue. We are family owned and operated — licensed, bonded, and insured — and on a house this old we would rather tell you the truth about what we find than sell you the easy version of it.

Arcadia homeowners tend to be people who chose an older house on purpose and intend to keep it right. That suits us. Our ratings are verified across Google, Yelp, and Facebook, and we back the work with an industry-leading warranty of up to thirty years — long enough that the citrus you plant this year will be shading the new roof by the time it matters. Call us before the monsoon if you can. The trees will still be dropping things either way.
