Roofing in Arizona: What You Need to Know
Arizona falls in Climate Zone 2B (Hot-Dry), which extreme heat and uv exposure dominate roofing choices. Understanding these local factors helps you make better decisions about materials and timing.
Extreme Heat
Roof surfaces can exceed 180°F. Cool roofing is essential for comfort and energy savings.
UV Degradation
Intense UV breaks down materials faster. Light colors and UV-resistant materials last longer.
Flat Roof Friendly
Low rainfall makes flat roofs viable. TPO and modified bitumen common on residential.
