Surviving the Arizona Summer: Protect Your Roof from Extreme Heat

‍How Heat Degrades Your Roof Over Time

‍
Prolonged exposure to 110°F+ heat can cause roofing materials to warp, crack, and deteriorate. Shingles may curl, tiles can become brittle, and flat roofs often develop blistering. Add in UV radiation, and even high-end roofing materials can suffer without proper care.

Heat also affects your roof’s underlayment and insulation, reducing energy efficiency and raising your cooling costs. It’s a silent issue many homeowners don’t notice until their electric bill spikes or a leak appears.‍

Keep Your Roof Cool and Strong This Summer

• Apply reflective coatings: These help deflect sunlight and reduce roof surface temperature.
  
  
• Ensure proper ventilation: A well-ventilated attic reduces heat buildup under your roof.
  
  
• Inspect for cracking or bubbling: Early signs of damage are easier (and cheaper) to fix.
  
  
• Consider heat-resistant roofing materials: Options like tile or metal roofing perform better in extreme heat.
  
  

A little proactive care during the summer can dramatically improve your roof’s performance and your home’s comfort. Don’t let Arizona’s sun wear your roof down — take action now.
