When Repair Stops Making Sense
Every roof reaches a point where continuing to patch it costs more, over a five-year horizon, than replacing it. That point is different for every home, but the signals are consistent. Leaks that return in a different spot within months of a repair. Underlayment that crumbles when you lift a tile. Foam roofs that have missed their recoat window by more than a year and are now showing UV damage down to the substrate. Metal panels where the fasteners have backed out across the entire field. Ridge details that have been repaired twice already and keep failing after monsoon events.
When a Behmer estimator recommends replacement over another round of repairs. It's because the math has stopped working. We put that math in writing: repair scope, underlayment replacement scope, full replacement scope, and the honest side-by-side comparison, so the decision is yours to make with the full picture in front of you. Nothing hidden, nothing padded, no pressure to sign the same day.

Roofing Systems We Install in Scottsdale
Not every roofing material makes sense in the Sonoran Desert. Our four generations of Arizona roofing experience have taught us which systems perform here, which ones fail early, and where each one belongs.
Concrete and clay tile re-roofing
The workhorse of Scottsdale residential roofing. Handles UV, monsoon wind, and thermal cycling better than almost any other system when installed with the right underlayment.
Flat and low-slope re-roofing
Modified bitumen and torch-down membrane systems for the flat sections common on desert-modern and hillside architecture.
SPF foam coating systems
Sprayed polyurethane foam with elastomeric top coat, ideal for flat and irregular roof geometries where continuous waterproofing is the priority.
Architectural metal roofing for both accent applications and full-field installations.
Underlayment-only replacement
Reuse of the existing tile field with a full replacement of the underlayment beneath. Typically half to two-thirds the cost of a full tear-off re-roof.
Combination systems
Many Scottsdale custom homes have tile on the main slopes and flat or foam on lower-slope sections. We handle the transitions and the whole envelope as one project.

Had our roof replaced by Mat and his team. First, Mat was incredibly patient with our overreaching and unreasonable HOA. He brought us multiple samples and did not ever complain or hesitate. Truth be told, I should pay him extra as a the...

What a Behmer Re-Roof Actually Includes
One reason our repeat-client rate is what it is: we don't cut scope to hit a number. A Behmer re-roof includes what needs to be included, and the estimate reflects it before you sign, not after we discover it mid-project.
- Full tear-off of the existing failed roofing system down to the deck, with deck inspection and replacement of any rotted or compromised sheathing.
- New premium underlayment rated for Arizona heat exposure: not the minimum-code felt that comes standard on production roofs.
- New flashings at every penetration, valley, and wall intersection. We do not reuse old flashings, ever.
- Correct installation of the primary roofing material by a Behmer crew, no subcontractors, no crew of the week.
- Full site cleanup, magnetic sweep for nails and fasteners, and haul-off of all tear-off debris.
- Written workmanship warranty on every re-roof, honored by the same family that installed it.
- Manufacturer warranty registration on all applicable materials. You get the paperwork, not just a verbal promise.
The Re-Roof Process, Start to Finish
You should know what to expect before you sign an estimate for work this size. Here's how a typical Behmer re-roof unfolds from your first phone call to the final cleanup.
- Initial consultation: a Behmer estimator visits your home, inspects the existing roof from the deck up, discusses your goals for the new system, and answers questions on the spot.
- Written estimate: you receive an itemized written estimate within a few business days, with materials specified, scope defined, and pricing firm.
- Contract and scheduling: once you approve the estimate, we schedule the work. Most residential re-roofs are scheduled two to four weeks out depending on season and weather.
- Material staging: roofing materials are delivered a day or two before tear-off begins.
- Tear-off day: the existing roofing system is removed down to the deck. Deck inspection happens in real time; any repairs needed are documented and priced before proceeding.
- Underlayment and flashings: the new premium underlayment and all new flashings are installed.
- Roofing material installation: tile, membrane, foam, or metal goes on according to manufacturer specifications and Arizona code.
- Final walkthrough and cleanup: you walk the property with the foreman, magnetic sweep for fasteners is performed, and all debris is hauled off.
- Warranty documentation: you receive your written workmanship warranty and all manufacturer warranty paperwork.
Investment and Financing
A re-roof in Scottsdale is a significant investment: typically the largest exterior improvement most homeowners make in a 20-to-30-year ownership span. Our estimates are firm, written, and itemized so you can see exactly what you're paying for. For homeowners who want to spread the investment out, we can walk you through financing options that work for roofing work of this scope. Ask your estimator during your on-site consultation.
One note on pricing: any roofing estimate that comes in dramatically below the others you've received is almost always cutting scope somewhere you can't see. Common corners we've watched competitors cut include reusing old flashings, installing minimum-code underlayment instead of Arizona-rated premium, using subcontractor labor, and skipping deck inspection. We don't do any of those, and our estimates reflect that reality.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical re-roof take?
Most single-family tile re-roofs in Scottsdale run three to five working days from tear-off to final cleanup, weather permitting. Flat and foam systems are typically faster, often one to three days for a standard residential footprint. Larger custom homes and combination systems can run longer; your estimator will give you a specific timeline in writing.
Can I stay in the house during the re-roof?
Yes. Roofing work is loud and dusty during working hours, but the home stays fully habitable throughout. We coordinate with you on driveway access and any exterior items that need to be moved before tear-off. Most homeowners plan to be out of the house during the workday for the noise, but come home each evening as normal.
Should I re-roof or just replace the underlayment?
It depends on the condition of your existing tile. If the tile is in good shape and the tile profile is still available for matching, an underlayment-only replacement typically costs 40 to 60 percent less than a full tear-off re-roof. If the tile is at end of life or discontinued, a full re-roof is the right call. Your estimator will walk you through both options with the numbers side by side.
What kind of warranty comes with a Behmer re-roof?
Every Behmer re-roof includes a written workmanship warranty on our installation labor, plus the full manufacturer warranty on the underlayment and roofing material. We spell out the terms in writing before work begins so there are no surprises about coverage.
Do you handle HOA architectural approvals?
Yes. Many Scottsdale HOAs, particularly in DC Ranch, Desert Mountain, Grayhawk, and the master-planned communities, require architectural review for tile profile and color changes. We provide the documentation your HOA committee will need, and we've been through the approval process with most of the major community HOAs in the area.
