General

How long has Rize been in business?

Rize is a family-owned Phoenix roofing company. Combined, our crew has decades of roofing experience in the Valley.

Where are you located?

Our office is at 2440 W Indian School Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85015. We serve Phoenix and the surrounding cities — Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Scottsdale, Tempe, Glendale, Peoria, Buckeye, Goodyear, Avondale, and Surprise.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — fully licensed in Arizona (ROC #XXXXXX), bonded, and carry general liability + workers' compensation insurance. Documentation is provided in writing with every estimate.

Do you use subcontractors?

No. Our crew members are W-2 employees. The estimator who quotes your job is the foreman on the install. Same hands, start to finish.

Inspections & estimates

Is the inspection really free?

Yes — no catch, no obligation, no high-pressure sales call afterward. We earn customers by being the obvious choice when they're ready, not by guilting them at the kitchen table.

How long does an inspection take?

About 45 minutes on-site. The PDF photo report lands in your inbox within 24 hours.

What's in the photo report?

Drone overhead imagery of every roof plane, close-ups of any issues found, attic photos when accessible, and a written summary with prioritized recommendations.

How fast do you turn around an estimate?

Most estimates are delivered within 48 hours of the inspection. Larger commercial scopes can take 3–5 business days.

Do you charge for emergency or after-hours visits?

Same-day emergency tarping is free if you proceed with us for the repair. If you only want the tarp and not the repair, we'll quote a fair price for the visit.

Projects & timeline

How long does a typical residential re-roof take?

Most single-family homes take 1–3 days for asphalt shingle, 3–5 days for tile, once materials arrive on-site. We give you a firm window before we start.

Do I need to leave the house during install?

No — we start at 6am to beat the heat and you can stay home throughout. We'll let you know if there will be brief noisy periods (mostly tear-off morning).

Will my landscaping be protected?

Yes. We tarp landscaping, pool decks, and AC units. Daily clean-up includes magnet sweep for nails before the crew leaves.

When's the best time of year to re-roof in Phoenix?

Honestly: October through May. The heat in deep summer is brutal on crews and on shingle adhesion. That said, we work year-round — and emergencies don't wait.

Can you handle the HOA paperwork?

Yes. Most Phoenix HOAs require approval for material or color changes. We submit the paperwork and photos for you.

Materials & warranties

What roofing materials do you install?

Asphalt shingle, concrete tile, clay tile, foam (SPF), TPO, PVC, and modified bitumen. We'll recommend the right system for your home, slope, and budget.

Which material lasts longest in Phoenix?

Clay and concrete tile — properly installed, both can last 40–50+ years in our climate. Asphalt shingle is typically 20–30 years here, slightly shorter than cooler climates due to UV exposure.

Do you offer warranties?

Yes — workmanship warranty on every job, plus the manufacturer's material warranty. Specific terms vary by material and scope. Full warranty details are provided in writing with your estimate.

What voids a warranty?

The most common warranty-voiders are improper attic ventilation (we'll spec what your home needs), unauthorized roof penetrations after install, and walking on tile roofs without proper technique.

Insurance claims

Can you help with insurance claims?

Yes. We document the damage, file with your carrier, meet your adjuster on-site, and supplement claims when needed. Most of our storm/hail work is insurance-based.

Will filing a claim raise my premium?

It can. We'll tell you honestly whether the likely payout is worth the potential premium impact — sometimes the answer is 'pay out of pocket.' We don't push claims that don't make sense for you.

What if my claim gets denied?

We can supplement with additional documentation and request a re-inspection. Adjusters miss things. If the damage is real and documented, we usually have options.

How long does the insurance process take?

From inspection to claim approval: usually 2–6 weeks. From approval to completed roof: another 1–4 weeks depending on materials. We set expectations upfront.

Pricing & payment

How much does a new roof cost?

Honestly, it depends — on size, pitch, material, condition of the decking, and complexity. We provide one line-itemed number after the inspection so you see exactly what you're paying for.

Do you offer financing?

We can connect you with financing partners for qualified buyers. Terms vary; ask us during your estimate.

When is payment due?

Typically: deposit at scheduling, balance due on completion. We accept check, ACH, and credit card. Specific payment schedule is on your written estimate.

Are there hidden fees?

No. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice. If something changes during the job (rotted decking, for instance), we stop, document, and get your written approval before adding cost.
