ServicesNew Roof Installation
New Roof Installation in Carefree
Building a home, adding a room or putting up a casita? We install the roof from bare deck to finished surface, sealed against summer storms and desert sun, and we keep you informed at every stage so there are no surprises on site or on the bill.
A roof for a structure that doesn't have one yet
New roof installation is for framing that is ready for its first roof: a custom home, a room addition, a guest casita, a detached garage or an enclosed patio. If you are swapping out a worn roof on an existing house, our Roof Replacement page covers that work.
Starting fresh gives you choices. Concrete or clay tile on a pitched roof, architectural shingles on a simpler design, or a foam or flat system on a parapet roof are all on the table. We help you pick based on your plans, your budget and how the building will be used. Then we install it properly the first time.
We are an Arizona KB-2 licensed contractor. On the day, that means a crew that knows the code requirements here, from underlayment to flashing, and builds to them so your final inspection is routine.
What the installation includes
Deck check before anything goes down
We walk the sheathing for loose panels, gaps and damp spots before installing. Problems are much cheaper to fix now than after the roof is on.
Fast dry-in
Underlayment goes on as soon as the deck is ready, so a sudden summer storm doesn't soak fresh framing. Under tile we use underlayment rated for high attic heat, since that layer does most of the waterproofing over the years.
Flashing at every edge and opening
Parapet walls, wall tie-ins, skylights, vents and chimneys get metal flashing set in the right sequence. Most leaks on new roofs start at these spots, so we take our time here.
The roofing system you chose
Tile, shingle, foam or flat membrane, installed to the manufacturer's specifications. That attention matters, because it keeps the 30-year manufacturer warranty through our roofing material providers valid.
Ventilation that suits the attic
Intake and exhaust are balanced so summer heat can escape. That helps underlayment and shingles last, and it can ease the load on your cooling.
Cleanup each day
We pick up nails and scrap as we go and do a magnet sweep around the site at the end of each day.
When a new roof installation is the right call
You're building a custom home
We can work alongside your builder's schedule and step in as soon as framing and sheathing pass.
You're adding on
A room addition has to tie into the existing roof without creating a weak seam. We match slope, material and color as closely as we can, and we flash the joint so it stays dry.
A casita, garage or workshop is going up
Small structures still need full underlayment, flashing and a permit. A flat or foam roof often suits a low-profile casita well.
A patio is being enclosed
Turning a covered patio into living space usually means a new, properly sloped roof over it. The old cover often can't do that job.
How the job runs, start to finish
- 1
A conversation and a site visit
You tell us what you are building. We look over the plans and the framing, then talk through which roofing systems make sense for the design.
- 2
Your estimate, itemized
We put the price in writing and break it out line by line: materials, labor, the permit and haul-away. Nothing is bundled into a single number you can't check.
- 3
Permit filed, date on the calendar
We file the roofing permit ourselves, and once it clears we lock in the day the crew arrives. In monsoon season we watch the forecast closely and aim dry-in for a stretch of clear weather.

Installation
Underlayment, flashing and the finished roof go on in order. A large tile roof takes longer than a shingled casita, and we give you the expected timeline before we start.

Final walk-through
We walk the roof and the site with you and meet the building inspector for the final. You leave with the warranty paperwork and a clear picture of what was installed.
What shapes the price of a new roof
Every new roof is priced from the plans and the site, so we don't quote a number before we've seen both. These are the main factors, and each one is listed separately on your written estimate.
- Size and pitch
- More square footage means more material and labor. Steeper roofs also take extra safety setup and slow the crew down.
- Roofing material
- Tile, shingle, foam and flat membranes differ in material cost and installation time. Tile also needs framing that can carry its weight.
- Roof shape
- Hips, valleys, parapets, skylights and tie-ins to an existing roof all add flashing work and time.
- Site access
- Hillside lots, narrow driveways and long carries to the staging area affect how materials get delivered and lifted.
- Permit and timing
- Permit fees are part of the job. The building schedule matters too, especially if dry-in has to fit between summer storms.
New roof installation questions
Something not covered here? (480) 568-3615
Which roofing material holds up best out here?
Tile handles intense sun and heat very well, provided the underlayment beneath it is a good one. Foam and flat systems suit parapet roofs and low-slope casitas. Shingles are a solid choice when budget matters most. We'll walk you through the trade-offs for your design.
Can the roof on my addition match my existing roof?
Usually it can come close. Many tile and shingle profiles are still made, though the colors on your current roof have faded in the sun. We'll bring samples and be honest about how close the match will look.
What happens if a monsoon storm hits mid-project?
We plan dry-in for clear days and get underlayment down quickly once the deck is ready. Open areas are covered at the end of each day, so a sudden storm shouldn't reach the framing.
What warranty comes with a new roof?
We back our workmanship with a 10-year labor warranty. Roofing materials also carry a 30-year manufacturer warranty through our material providers, as long as the system is installed to their specifications, which we do.
Do you handle the permit?
Yes. We pull the roofing permit, schedule the inspections and meet the inspector on site. You won't need to coordinate any of it.
