Phoenix Commercial Reroofing
Tear-off or recover, deck repair and a new roof system planned around your tenants.
A roof reaches replacement when repairs and recoats stop paying off: widespread wet insulation, a deck that is rusting or soft, or leaks in many places at once. A moisture survey and a few core samples show you how much of the roof is still sound.
Replacement can mean a full tear-off down to the deck, or a recover over the existing roof where it is dry and code allows. We explain which fits your building and what each means for cost, schedule and the next roof after this one.
Reroofing a commercial building in Phoenix goes through the City's Planning & Development Department. The City's reroofing permit application asks whether the job is a tear-off or a recover, the roof slope, whether the roof drains through drains or scuppers, the UL class rating of the new membrane assembly, and whether any electrical, plumbing, gas or HVAC work is being relocated or replaced. We gather those details during the assessment, handle the permit when the work needs one, and confirm current requirements with Planning & Development (602-262-7811).


Old roofing removed in sections and dried in the same day.

Rusted or damaged deck replaced before the new roof goes on.

Crane lifts and staging planned around parking and tenants.

New insulation, flashing, drains and a foam, TPO or coated roof.
| Tear-off | Recover | |
|---|---|---|
| Existing roof | Removed to the deck | Stays in place where dry |
| Deck inspection | Full view of the deck | Spot checks and cores |
| Disruption | More noise, debris and staging | Less, with no tear-off debris |
| Best for | Wet, failed or multiple old roofs | A dry, sound roof with one layer |
It depends on roof size, tear-off and weather. We give you a schedule with the scope and work in sections so the building is watertight at the end of every day.
Reroofing goes through the City of Phoenix Planning & Development Department. We confirm what your project needs and handle the permit when required.
Usually, yes. We plan noisy tear-off, crane lifts and odorous work around business hours and give you notices to share with tenants.
Often. On larger buildings or multi-building properties we can phase the work by section and repair the rest to hold until the next phase.
Tell us about the building and the roof's history. We will survey the roof and give you repair, recoat and replacement options.
