How does a roof replacement work for a Mesa home?
A Mesa roof replacement starts with a written scope and material choice, then the old roof comes off, the deck is checked, new underlayment and flashing go down, and the finished surface is installed and cleaned up. Tip Top Roofing Service documents each of these stages for the homeowner in advance.
- Registrar of Contractors lookup for license 355034: azroc.my.site.com (confirmed November 2, 2026).
- GAF directory listing: gaf.com (confirmed November 2, 2026).
- Better Business Bureau profile page: bbb.org (confirmed November 2, 2026).
- The City of Mesa publishes a residential construction page for homeowners to check what work needs a permit (mesaaz.gov residential construction, opened November 2, 2026). That page does not mention roofing, so we confirm permit requirements for each address directly with the city.

Systems We Install on Mesa Homes
Here are the main options and what each is known for.
Tile
Concrete and clay tile have the longest service lives of any residential option, and the underlayment is the part we renew.
Shingle
Asphalt shingles come in 3-tab and architectural grades, with the architectural grade rated for a longer life.
Flat Membranes
TPO and modified bitumen suit low-slope sections, with seams and drainage detailed for each roof.
Standing Seam Metal
A clean-lined panel system that some owners choose for appearance and longevity.
Spray Foam
A seamless option for suitable low-slope roofs, applied over a properly prepared surface.
Combination Roofs
Homes with both pitched and flat areas get a separate plan for each section.
From Signed Estimate to Final Walk-Through
The work follows this order on most projects.
- You receive a written free estimate listing scope, materials and underlayment as separate lines.
- We confirm any permit requirements for your address with the City of Mesa before scheduling.
- Materials are ordered and a start date is set around the weather forecast.
- The old roofing is removed and the deck is examined, with damaged sheathing replaced.
- New underlayment, flashing and the chosen roof surface are installed.
- We clean the property, sweep for fasteners and walk the finished roof with you.
Questions to Settle Before Work Begins
Which Material
Weigh the home's structure, the look you want and how long you plan to own it.
What Is Under It
Ask what underlayment is going on, since it carries a large share of the waterproofing.
When to Schedule
Mesa weather affects timing, so we plan the project around the forecast rather than the calendar alone.

Mesa Roof Replacement Questions, Answered
When is a Mesa roof ready for replacement?
Recurring leaks in different places, brittle surfaces or underlayment that crumbles are the clearest signs, along with a roof past its typical lifespan.
How many days will it take?
A typical house takes several days, but roof size, material, supply timing and weather can move that either way. You get an expected schedule up front.
Will the old roof come off completely?
Normally yes, because removal lets us inspect and repair the deck. A recover over existing layers is possible only in some situations.
Do I need a permit in Mesa?
Requirements vary by project. The City of Mesa residential construction page does not address roofing, so we check with the city for your address.
Who handles that paperwork?
We take care of permit steps on projects we perform, using our Arizona contractor license number.
Which roofing material is best?
That depends on your house and priorities. Tile has the longest typical life, while shingles and flat systems fit other structures and budgets.
Can my current tile go back on?
Sometimes. Sound tile can be removed, set aside and reinstalled over new underlayment if the structure can handle it.
Why is underlayment such a big deal?
It sits under the visible surface and serves as the water barrier, so installing it well often matters more than the top layer does.
What if you find rotted wood?
We show you, price the repair separately and replace the damaged sheathing before the new roof goes on.
What happens if the forecast turns?
The roof is dried in each day with temporary protection suited to that stage, so rain is less of a risk.
Do I need to leave the house?
No. There will be noise and crew activity, but you can generally stay home.
How should I prepare my yard?
Move patio items and vehicles, and cover anything fragile. We protect what we can and clean up with a magnet sweep.
Is the replacement estimate free?
Yes, the written estimate costs nothing and does not require buying an inspection.
Will you itemize the estimate?
Yes. Scope, materials and underlayment are separate lines so another contractor's bid can be compared directly.
Are you licensed to replace roofs?
Yes, under Arizona ROC #355034, which anyone can verify on the Registrar of Contractors website.
What does the warranty cover?
Coverage depends on the manufacturer's program and the workmanship terms, and we explain what applies to your roof in writing.
Could my insurer care about the new roof?
Some do. Ask your carrier which documents they want, and we can supply scope details and photos.
Can I replace just one section?
Often, especially on a combination roof, as long as the new work is flashed carefully into the old.
What causes delays?
Material supply, weather, hidden deck problems and permit timing. We let you know quickly if any of them come up.
What is the first step?
Call (480) 877-1643 or use the estimate button and tell us the roof type, its rough age and any leak history.
