PetersenDean Roofing & Solar | Roofing Services in Tucson, AZ 85719

The extreme temperature swings and intense UV exposure in Tucson can cause clay and concrete roof tiles to become brittle and crack over time. When we install a new roof, we use premium, climate-appropriate tiles and specialized underlayments that offer superior flexibility and UV resistance. This tailored approach from the start helps prevent future breakage and extends the life of your roof significantly.

Failing underlayment is a critical issue in our dry heat. During a replacement, we completely remove the old, compromised materials. We then install modern, high-grade synthetic underlayment that is specifically engineered to resist drying, cracking, and degradation from UV rays. This creates a much more durable secondary water barrier, ensuring your new roof system has a solid foundation for long-term protection.

Absolutely. While the primary goal is energy production, a professionally installed solar system from PetersenDean acts as a protective layer for the portion of your roof it covers. The panels shield those areas from direct UV radiation and extreme heat, which are the main causes of underlayment drying and tile degradation. It's a smart way to generate power and proactively preserve your roof's integrity.
