ExcellentBased on 171 reviewsKelly Crewson2024-03-04Fast and professional!Dario dinic2023-12-28Called them and Darwin came to see the issue and fixed the problem quickly. Very pleasant to deal with and very clean. Explained the issue thoroughly, took before and after photos to show. Definitely recommend the companySteve Jang2023-12-19My journey with Darwin from AZRoofing started in early July of 2023. I have had a stubborn leak that had ruined part of the 2nd floor master bedroom ceiling. It was a small leak that was difficult to trace. If the rains were very heavy and wind driven, my ceiling would actually drip. But if it was moderate/light...no dripping but my moisture meter would register a high level of humidity. I believe the leak was caused by another roofing contractor. It took Darwin 3 visits to find and fix the leak. He is very professional in his manner and really takes pride in his work. I remember him saying "I got to make this right" after finding out I still have the leak after his first attempt at fixing it. It took until October to finally fix the leak. I would have preferred it to have been sooner but I understand that my job was a "small" job compared to replacing the entire roof and since the ceiling was already damaged and water was not pouring in...I waited. I have had other contractors wanting to sell me a new roof instead of finding the leak. If Darwin's work ethic is representative of the employees at AZRoofing...you're in good hands.Boris L2023-11-24Darwin was very helpful in answering questions, and proposing a solution that would require minimal restorationJohn Giancola2023-11-12A very professional and punctual team.

Built Up Tar and Gravel Flat Roofing for Commercial and Industrial
When people think of flat roofs, they tend to think of the old fashioned Built Up Tar and Gravel roofs as these are still quote common, and the most traditional flat roofing style. These roofs have between 4-5 layers of asphalt based organic paper held together with layers of hot asphalt (tar). Installation can get quite messy for these roofs as it involves large hot kettles which need to be safely transported to the roof top. The last layer added are the pea-sized granules which helps protect the tar from UV rays.
These roofs may be mechanically fastened, or adhered to. Plus, the seams of these roofs are heat welded.
Why buy this type?
