The Three Most Common Roof Types in Arizona

Asphalt Shingles Common roof Type

#3. Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt Shingles are popular and super cost-effective, they are strong and do a great job protecting your home. Accordingly, these shingles lay flat and do not add much volume to your roof, but they are simple and have a traditional home look and feel. Specifically, in Arizona, these shingles perform well against the Summer Monsoons and heat. However, if the rooftop is damaged they are easy to repair.  Overall, Patriotic Roofing loves and recommends Asphalt Shingles and reliable choice for an Arizona Rooftop. Now, we know why this is one of the most common roof types in Arizona. 

#2. Curved Clay Tiles

Curved Clay Tiles are another more common roof type you will see around town. These tiles are simple to repair, find and match your existing colors, and commonly fits in with your neighborhood roof style. Moreover, these tiles are strong enough for the Summer Monsoons, and more cost-effective than the new Plana Flat Tiles. 

Usually, if you ever have to do the occasional roof walk for Christmas lights or other reasons, we recommend you step in the down-curved portion of the tile. Generally, we don’t recommend going on your roof (leave it to us). Ultimately, walking on these tiles by this method will help you keep balance and give you more support.

#1. Plana Flat Interlocking Roof Tiles

Plana Flat Tiles are the new roof type that is growing in popularity here in Arizona. Plan Flat Tiles are becoming more common on newer home builds around Arizona.  They have a flat tile look that makes them strong against the weather and heat and adds a sleek new look to most homes. The look and feel of these tiles gives houses a fresh new look that breaks the mold of cookie cutter homes. We often update the curved clay tiles to the new flat tile type and it makes the house look spectacular and brand new, but with a slightly higher cost. 

Essentially, these tiles lay flat which can be a huge advantage. For example, if you ever have to do the occasional roof walk for Christmas lights or other random reasons. As opposed to Curved Clay Tiles, your feet will be secure and you can walk on any part of this tile.
