Is Foam Roofing Right For My Roofing Project?

June 13, 20252 min read

As Arizona temperatures soar past 110°F, your roof isn't just taking a beating—it's burning money. Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) roofing slashes cooling costs by up to 40%, but what's the real investment? We break down every dollar with Arizona-specific data.


Why Arizona Homes Need SPF Roofing

The Desert Roofing Crisis:

  • Thermal Shock: Daily 40°F+ temperature swings cause traditional roofs to expand/contract, creating cracks

  • UV Degradation: Arizona's 300+ sunny days/year bake asphalt shingles into brittle failure

  • Monsoon Vulnerability: 70% of leak calls occur after summer storms (AZ Roofing Contractors Association)

  • Energy Drain: Uninsulated attics reach 150°F+, forcing AC units to work 2X harder

SPF’s Triple Defense:

  • Seamless Membrane: Self-flashing around penetrations eliminates leak points

  • R-6.5 per Inch: Highest insulation value of any commercial roofing material

  • Solar Reflectivity: 88%+ UV reflection with elastomeric coatings
