Roofing questions in Cave Creek & Carefree
Why does my flat roof leak at the parapet wall?
Parapets are where the roof membrane turns up the wall, and that joint fails first. Foam wraps the parapet in one continuous layer.
Should I recoat or replace my foam roof?
If the foam is still solid, a recoat at $3,000 to $8,000 can add years. If it’s spongy or exposed, it needs replacement.
Do you roof new custom homes here?
Yes. See our custom home roofing page.
