Roofing Contractor

Licensed Roofing Contractor in Peoria, AZ

Peoria went from about 12,000 people in 1980 to more than 108,000 by 2000, so most of its roofs went on during one long rush. Westbrook Village, Ventana Lakes and Fletcher Heights carry roofs from that boom. Vistancia opened in 2004 up in the Sonoran foothills, and Downtown Peoria still has bungalows from the early 1900s. We figure out where your roof sits on that timeline and what it needs next.

Downtown Peoria to Vistancia: Peoria's roofs by era

Downtown Peoria is the historic core, roughly Peoria Avenue to Madison Street between 83rd and 84th Avenues. The Presbyterian church from 1899 is the oldest building in the original townsite, and the surviving houses on Monroe and Madison Streets date from 1905 to the late 1940s, several of them bungalows and craftsman bungalows. One 1922 craftsman on West Madison lists a metal roof.

The town incorporated in 1954 with under 2,000 people. Then it took off: 12,351 residents in 1980, 50,675 in 1990, 108,364 in 2000. Half of Peoria's housing was built between 1970 and 1999 and nearly all the rest after 2000. That boom built the communities we see most. Westbrook Village has nearly 4,000 homes between 83rd and 99th Avenues from Beardsley to Union Hills, and a 1984 home there lists a composition roof. Country Meadows has late-1970s homes with composition roofs too. Ventana Lakes is a 55+ community of 1,701 homes built from 1986 on around nine lakes, and a 1993 home there lists tile. Fletcher Heights followed in the late 1990s with tile under an HOA.

Vistancia opened in 2004 on 7,100 acres of Sonoran Desert foothills and grew into four areas: Trilogy, The Village, Blackstone and Northpointe. A 2013 Blackstone home, for one, lists Santa Barbara and Tuscan styling under a tile roof.

Foothill wind, Lake Pleasant country and monsoon rain

The north end of the city looks nothing like the older neighborhoods near Grand Avenue. Peoria annexed Lake Pleasant in 1996, and its northern edge runs up against Sunrise Mountain, West Wing Mountain and the Hieroglyphic Mountains. Homes on higher, open foothill lots can catch more wind, so hip and ridge tile there gets extra attention. Ridge caps up there get glued in mastic, with a weather blocker strip underneath.

Rain is the other half. In the August 18 and 19, 2022 storm, Peoria picked up more than an inch of rain and power lines came down along 83rd Avenue between Cactus Road and Peoria Avenue. A storm like that finds dried-out felt in valleys and cracks in flat sections fast. On older composition roofs in Westbrook Village and Country Meadows, valleys and low vents are the usual entry points.

Associations shape a lot of Peoria roofs. Westbrook Village and Fletcher Heights both run HOAs, and Vistancia listings carry association fees as well. Before tile or shingle color changes, we check what your association approved and document what is on the house now.

Roof costs in Peoria

From our price sheet, on a 3,000 sq ft roof: shingle runs about $11,250–$14,250, a tile underlayment replacement $33,000–$48,000 and a complete tile tear-off $57,000–$78,000. Foam over an existing flat roof is $4.75–$6 per square foot. See every range on our pricing page.

Peoria roofs get priced by what is on them and where they sit. On a composition roof in Westbrook Village, the shingle grade, roof area, layers to remove and decking repairs lead the list. On Fletcher Heights or Ventana Lakes tile, it is whether the old tile is reusable or out of production, the underlayment, valleys and HOA color matching. Vistancia's two-story and foothill homes add pitch and access. Flat or low-slope sections may take foam over the existing roof instead of a tear-off.
