A home is as sturdy as its roof. A good, strong roof protects your home from harsh weather conditions including heavy rains and snowstorms, and helps to maintain its structural integrity.
Shingle roofing is not only incredibly durable but is also affordable and versatile, making it the most preferred roofing type in North America. Thanks to their ability to withstand high temperatures and intense sunlight, shingle roofs are a common sight in Arizona as well.
However, even the most durable roofs may sometimes need to be replaced – but that’s no cause to panic, Icon Roofing can help!

Shingle roofing is widely used in Arizona due to its ability to withstand heat and extreme weather conditions as well as its affordability and durability.
Consider getting shingle roofing because it is:
Shingle roofs secure your home against the elements, including heavy rainfall and hail.
Shingles come in multiple styles, colors, and materials, making them suitable for virtually any type of home.
Certain types of shingles, often called reflective or “cool” shingles, insulate your home to keep it cool in hot summer months and help you save on energy costs.
Shingle roofs are usually less expensive than other roofing types.
Compared to some other roofing materials, shingle roofing requires less complex repairs. In fact, individual shingles can be replaced even with limited knowledge and experience.
After providing stability and security for many long years, even highly dependable roofs may eventually need to be replaced. While minor damage can often be addressed by replacing a shingle or two, significant or structural damage may necessitate complete replacement.
You should get your shingle roofing replaced when:
The normal lifespan of shingle roofing is approximately 20 to 30 years. If your roof has exceeded its lifespan and shows signs of damage, it likely needs replacement.
A roof may sag due to multiple factors including water damage, excessive loads of weight, too many layers of shingles, and extreme weather conditions. A sagging roof should be replaced immediately.
If you observe a leaking ceiling, damp walls, moisture marks, as well as the presence of moss or mold on your roof, it is a strong indication that your roof has incurred noticeable water damage and should be replaced.
Curling or buckling shingles are no longer properly attached to the roof. While in some instances, it might be sufficient to replace individual shingles, a large number of curling or buckling shingles necessitate replacement.
A few missing shingles can be easily replaced, but significant damage to shingles, granules, or support structures such as flashing, gutter guards, or fascia can compromise the integrity of your home.
