Our family-owned company serves the entire Greater Tucson area with comprehensive residential services designed for Arizona’s extreme weather conditions.
Why Professional Residential Roofing Matters in Tucson
Your roof faces unique stresses in Southern Arizona. Summer temperatures exceeding 110 degrees cause thermal expansion and material degradation. Monsoon storms bring sudden heavy rainfall, high wind microbursts, and occasional hail. Intense UV radiation breaks down roofing materials faster than in most climates. These factors mean Tucson roofs require specialized knowledge, proper materials, and expert installation.
Professional roofing contractors bring several critical advantages. Licensed teams understand building codes specific to Pima County. Experienced crews recognize early warning signs of damage before minor problems become expensive emergencies. Quality workmanship extends roof lifespan, protecting your investment and preventing costly interior water damage.

Complete Residential Roofing Solutions
Bob’s Custom Roofing offers full-spectrum services covering every aspect of home roof care. Whether you need minor repairs or a complete replacement, our team handles projects of all sizes with the same attention to detail.
Building a new home requires roofing partners who work seamlessly with construction schedules. We coordinate with builders throughout Tucson on new construction projects, delivering quality installations that meet exact specifications. We install all major roofing types, from traditional tile to modern cool roof systems. New installations include proper ventilation design, underlayment selection for desert conditions, and material choices optimized for Tucson’s extreme climate. Our experience spans various residential architectural styles common in Southern Arizona.
Complete replacement becomes necessary when repairs no longer provide cost-effective solutions. Our team evaluates your roof honestly, explaining when replacement makes better financial sense. Projects involve complete tear-off, structural inspection, decking repairs, proper underlayment, and precise installation of new materials. Many shingle replacements are completed in one day. Tile projects require more time due to detailed installation. We handle moving air conditioning units, replacing damaged fascia, and coordinating structural repairs when needed.
Not every roofing problem requires full replacement. Strategic repairs extend roof life by years at a fraction of replacement cost. Common Tucson repair needs include wind-damaged shingles, broken tiles, flashing around chimneys and skylights, storm damage, and wear around roof penetrations. We also handle fascia and soffit repairs that protect roof edges from monsoon rain. Our honest assessments tell you when repairs make sense versus replacement. This transparency has built trust with property managers and homeowners for over five decades.
Water intrusion damages homes quickly in ways not always visible from ground level. Our leak detection uses video inspection technology, visual tracking of water stains, and systematic testing of entry points. Desert homes often develop leaks around roof-mounted equipment, deteriorated flashing, tile valleys, or where roof planes meet. Finding leaks early prevents secondary damage to insulation, ceiling materials, electrical systems, and interior finishes. Small leaks caught quickly often need only minor repairs rather than extensive restoration work.
Preventive inspections catch problems before they cause damage. Our free annual roof inspections provide professional assessment of roof condition, identification of developing issues, documentation for insurance purposes, and peace of mind heading into monsoon season. Inspections examine tiles or shingles, flashing and sealants, valleys and transitions, equipment mounts, ventilation systems, and signs of animal intrusion. We provide clear documentation with recommendations prioritized by urgency. Regular inspections extend roof life by addressing minor issues promptly while creating maintenance records valuable for home sales and insurance claims.
Tucson’s desert environment deposits dust, debris, and organic material on roofs over time. Accumulated debris traps moisture, accelerates material deterioration, and clogs drainage systems during monsoons. Our roof cleaning services remove built-up dirt and debris, clear valleys and drainage paths, and restore the roof’s appearance. Clean roofs reflect more heat, potentially reducing cooling costs during summer months. Cleaning also allows better inspection of the underlying roof condition, helping identify issues before they require expensive repairs or threaten your home’s interior with water damage.
Natural light enhances Tucson homes while reducing daytime electricity use. We install new skylights and repair existing units that leak or show damage. Proper skylight installation requires careful integration with roofing materials and flashing systems to prevent water intrusion. We work with quality skylight brands including Velux and Tru-Lite, offering options with energy-efficient glazing and eco-friendly features. Skylight repairs address common issues like deteriorated seals, cracked glazing, and failed flashing. Our expertise ensures your skylights provide beauty and efficiency without compromising your roof’s protective integrity.
Material selection significantly impacts roof performance in desert conditions. Bob’s Custom Roofing installs and repairs all major residential roofing types, helping homeowners choose options that balance durability, energy efficiency, and budget.
Tile Roofing Expertise: Tile roofing dominates Tucson residential architecture. Clay and concrete tiles reflect heat effectively, last for decades when properly maintained, and provide a distinctive Southwestern character. Our specialization includes clay tiles, concrete tiles, Spanish barrel tiles, and flat tiles for contemporary designs. We handle complex tile work, including salvaging existing tiles, matching discontinued patterns from our extensive tile yard inventory, and constructing valleys properly. Our on-site tile yard at 2560 W. Zinnia Ave solves the matching problem homeowners face when repairing older tile roofs.
Shingle Roofing Solutions: Architectural shingles provide affordable, attractive roofing for many Tucson homes. We primarily install Owens Corning Oakridge shingles, but work with multiple manufacturers. Options include impact-resistant shingles with Class 4 hail protection, designer colors, and reflective shingles that reduce heat absorption.
Cool Roof and Flat Roof Systems: Reflective roof coatings reduce surface temperatures dramatically, lowering cooling costs and extending roof life. Our applications include elastomeric, aluminum, and silicone coatings. For flat or low-slope sections, we install built-up roofing systems and modified bitumen with proper drainage and careful attention to penetrations.
