Is a tile roof better than a shingle roof?

It depends on your goals. Tile roofs are more durable and can last 50–100 years with proper maintenance. They offer superior insulation, weather resistance, and a distinctive aesthetic. However, they are more expensive upfront and heavier than shingles.

Will a tile roof improve the value of my house?

Yes. Tile roofs are often considered a premium upgrade that enhances curb appeal and energy efficiency. Buyers appreciate their longevity and low maintenance, which can lead to higher resale value, especially in upscale Scottsdale neighborhoods.

Do tile roofs need a decent amount of maintenance?

Tile roofs require less frequent maintenance compared to other materials. However, occasional inspections are still recommended to check for cracked tiles, damaged underlayment, or buildup of debris that could affect drainage.

Why do homeowners choose asphalt shingle roofing?

Homeowners prefer asphalt shingles for their affordability, versatility, and ease of installation. They come in many styles and colors, perform well in various climates, and are easy to repair or replace when damaged.

What are 3-tab shingles?

3-tab shingles are a type of asphalt shingle characterized by their flat appearance and uniform size. They are the most basic and budget-friendly option, offering decent durability and a clean, traditional appearance.

What are dimensional shingles?

Dimensional (architectural) shingles are thicker than 3-tab and have a layered appearance that adds texture and depth. They are more durable, wind-resistant, and typically come with longer warranties.

What are luxury shingles?

Luxury shingles are the highest tier of asphalt shingles. They mimic the look of natural slate or cedar shake and offer superior weather protection, impact resistance, and aesthetic appeal.

What is the lifespan of a new spray foam roof?

A properly installed and maintained spray foam roof can last over 30 years. Its seamless surface resists leaks and UV damage, and recoating every 10–15 years extends its durability.

How is spray foam roofing installed?

Spray foam roofing is applied in liquid form and expands into a foam that hardens into a seamless, waterproof layer. It’s often topped with a reflective coating for UV protection and energy efficiency.

What is the correct pitch for a flat roof?

Flat roofs typically have a slight slope or “pitch” between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch per foot to ensure proper water drainage. Completely level roofs are avoided to prevent pooling and leaks.

How does drainage work on a flat roof?

Flat roofs use internal drains, scuppers, or tapered insulation systems to channel water off the surface. Proper drainage design is crucial to prevent standing water, which can cause leaks or roof damage.

I had a new shingle roof installed by Right Way Roofing and I am very happy with the work they did! They installed the Titan XT shingles with the Natural Timber color. The installation was postponed by one day due to some bad weather, but Kevin and the crew came out on a Saturday and the crew worked hard on Saturday and Sunday to get the job done. Everything looks great, they did a very thorough clean up, and all questions/concerns were addressed and taken care of. I would definitely recommend them!

RWR is the first contractor I've ever used that I was completely satisfied with in all my 70 years. Johnny and his crew replaced my 25 year old shingled roof in 2.5 days working 12 hour days. Some of the issues you usually worry about are being able to communicate with the workers and, are they going to up the price after they get started. I even had a few sheets of plywood and facia boards replaced that i fully expected to pay extra for, but Johnny said he was not going to charge me. All the workers were very friendly and communicated any questions I had. Johnny, the supervisor and owner of the company was very passionate about his work and profession. If I had any questions or concerns, he would stop and explain why he was doing what he was doing.
I read a google review that RWR didn't like to come to Tucson to do work. They may not want to drive down from Mesa to do a $300 repair but I live 30 minutes south of Tucson and they didn't seem to mind working here. Actually, I got 3 other estimates. They were not the cheapest (by $500) but they were not the most expensive either.
I would highly recommend this company to do your roofing replacement.

It was a pleasure meeting Lori with Right Way Roofing Saturday at the Las Sendas Vendor Fair. I think the quality of material they use is impressive, especially considering that upgrade is not being passed onto the customer. I look forward to getting a bid to replace the underlayment in our house, any client roof needs moving forward, and they will hopefully be bidding to do my parents townhome development.

If you are looking for a roofing company, look no further! Customer service is off the charts. Twice I have called and they sent a wonderful man, Kevin within a few hours. He fixes the issues cheerfully and professionally. Hats off to Lori and her amazing company.

Right Way Roofing does things the right way! I cant say enough how much of a pleasure they were to have do my roof. Zach Munton was my sales rep and he was a real genuine person, no sales gimmicks. He gave me all the data and patiently let me make my decision. The gals in the office were a delight to deal with as well. Everything that we agreed to was done and done well. Jerry was my site foreman and was very communicative. He listened to all my wants and took care of them within the scope of his work, even a couple aesthetic wants he took care of with a smile. Scheduling happened just as it was discussed and the roofers showed up on time worked hard and respected my property keeping an eye out for my dogs. Its rare to find a company that executes well all the way through the process but they did it with grace, with a great product , great warranty , great craftsmanship and competitive pricing. I would highly recommend Right Way Roofing to anyone with roofing needs. What a class act!

After I discovered a roof leak that has probably been leaking since the house was built in 2018 (due to poor workmanship by the original roofing company), I called Right Way Roofing. Troy came to our house, found the problem, and gave us an estimate for the repair. He provide photos of the problem area along with the estimate. After I decided to have Right Way do the repairs, they called and gave me a schedule for the job. I was very impressed because they went right by the schedule. The materials arrived on a Friday as they said. A bit later that day, a trailer arrived for the debris. That same day, Javier, their superintendent arrived to check what was needed. The crew arrived the following Monday on schedule and began the job. Javier had a few other jobs to check so he wasn’t present all day but when he was present, he sent me photos as the job progressed. The photos showed the extent of the damage which required them to replace three sheets of radiant barrier roof decking. The job took two full days. The day after the job was completed, the trailer with the debris was removed and they cleaned our driveway. While they were making the repairs, Javier sent me photos of the repairs. After the job was complete, they sent me the invoice which was for the exact amount of the estimate plus a change order for the three sheets of radiant barrier plywood which was not included in the original invoice because Troy did not have the cost of the sheets. I was completely aware that there would be an additional cost for the radiant barrier plywood. There were absolutely no surprises when I received the final invoice. I am very pleased with the job done by Right Way Roofing. As I said, they performed the work according to the schedule they gave me. I am confident they did a very good job and we should have no further problem with the sections of roof they repaired. My compliments to Javier for how he stayed in contact with me by sending photos of each step along the way. He went out of his way to make sure I was aware of how the job was progressing. I highly recommend Right Way Roofing.

We were very pleased with everything from start to finish. The quote given was professionally done & they took the time to check things first, not just give a quote based on age & size of roof. When the project began Javier provided constant communication & photos of what was being done- really appreciated that! We only did the underlayment & had some new roof tiles that don't match our "not-available" color anymore, but the new was all put towards the back & can only be seen at a very particular angle - very pleased.
They worked with us on how we could split the payment on our cc's. They did what they said they were going to do & we HIGHLY recommend them.

Right Way Roofing did an excellent job replacing the underlayment on a portion of my roof. From my initial contact with the sales person Kevin, to Candra and the rest of the office staff, to Jeff and the crew that came and did the work everything was done with the utmost professionalism. I would not hesitate to use Right Way Roofing again or to recommend them to a friend. They use high quality roofing materials and the warranty they offer is awesome and transferable should I choose to sell my house. If you are looking for a roof repair or replacement there is only one way, the Right Way!

Right Way Roofing spent time with me explaining the process and quote. I wanted a color change on the roof to one more energy efficient which was different than what I originally said, but they gave me no trouble changing the color. I have both an asphalt shingle and a flat roof (over the garage). They took care of both and had longer warranties than their competitors. I also like that they have been in business over 20 years and have a good BBB rating. The workers communicated well what the schedule was and cleaned up daily. The nice man (Vicente?) who did the final coat on the flat foam roof did an excellent job making it look nice. I would recommend the company and use them again.
