Mikku & Sons Roofing | Roofing Services in Peoria, AZ 85382

In Peoria, the primary culprit is our intense, year-round sun and extreme temperature swings. The UV radiation and heat can degrade the sealants and adhesives holding flashing in place, causing it to pull away from the roof edge or chimney. Over time, this thermal expansion and contraction weakens the material, leading to separation. This creates a direct path for water, especially during our monsoon season, making prompt repair essential to prevent interior damage.

It depends on the extent of the damage. Our technicians will perform a thorough inspection. For minor sun damage where the metal is merely discolored or the sealant is failing, a professional repair and re-sealing might be sufficient. However, if the flashing is severely warped, cracked, or corroded from prolonged UV exposure—common here in Arizona—a full replacement is almost always the more reliable and cost-effective long-term solution to ensure your roof's integrity.

Prevention starts with using the right materials. For Peoria homes, we install high-grade, UV-resistant flashing metals and specialized, elastomeric sealants formulated for our climate. Proper installation technique is also critical; we ensure all flashing is securely fastened and integrated with your roofing system to accommodate natural expansion and contraction. A key part of our service is recommending and performing routine roof inspections, especially before monsoon season, to catch and address any minor issues before they become major leaks.
