Where shingles fit on a Cave Creek property

Plenty of homes here are flat-roofed Territorial designs, and shingles don't belong on a flat deck. Where they work is on real pitch: gable or hip roofs on ranch houses, casitas, garages and workshops. On a mixed house, the trouble spot is the joint where a shingled slope drains onto a flat roof or meets a parapet wall. We flash those transitions as their own detail, and the flat side can get foam during the same visit.

Color is your call on most properties outside an HOA, but in a gated neighborhood like Rancho Mañana, check the association's rules first. A darker shingle runs hotter in the sun and a lighter one reflects more. Either way, take a sample outside and look at it at a few times of day before you order.

Wildfire and wind

After the 2020 Ocotillo and East Desert fires, the town started pushing defensible space: clear dead brush within five feet of the house, keep gutters clean, and use fire-resistant roofing. If you go with shingles, pick a fire-rated product, and keep gutters and valleys clear of leaves and brush. Wind is the other test. Gusts over 65 mph on July 14, 2024 snapped 27 power poles around Cave Creek. Shingles that weren't laid with the right overlap or nailed flat are the ones that lift. How a small roofing mistake turns into a leak shows how a little hump or a short overlap becomes a problem.

Underlayment and vents under Cave Creek sun

Old felt under shingles dries out and cracks first where water runs hardest, in valleys and along the eaves. We lay self-adhering membrane in those areas so it bonds to the deck and seals around every fastener. Vents get checked too. A vent sitting in a valley path holds back water during a monsoon downpour, so we move it to open roof between framing members and flash it fresh. Why we moved this roof vent walks through one of those fixes. Attic intake and exhaust get balanced at the same time, which helps the deck shed heat in July.

If a storm lifted some shingles on your house or casita, or the roof is simply getting old, the number is (602) 799-6837. We'll drive up, inspect it and give you a straight answer for free.
