Shingle

In any region, it’s important to choose a roofing material that fits the local weather conditions.

At the same time, you need to weigh that in with other factors, such as cost, longevity and personal preferences.

In Tucson and the rest of Southern AZ, think about the extreme heat and monsoon conditions the roof will face.

By choosing a roofing material that withstands these tough weather conditions, you can ensure a longer lasting roof and protection for your home.

Let’s take a look at how asphalt shingle roofing can hold up in Arizona.

Shingle Roofing in Southern Arizona Weather Conditions

Asphalt shingles are a versatile roofing material that’s able to handle a range of weather conditions.

For example, they can withstand heavy rains and moderate winds like those your home will face during monsoon season.

These shingles resist water, especially when they’re used in a slope design, and they’re fire-retardant.

You gain numerous additional benefits from these shingles.

They are attractive with many styles to choose from to create the perfect aesthetic for your home.

They’re long-lasting, as they can hold up past their typical 10- to 30-year warranties.

Plus they are affordable and quick to install.

At the same time, asphalt shingle roofing has some cons.

While it could handle light and moderate winds during the monsoons, the shingles could blow off if the winds get stronger.

The constant sun can make the shingles curl or soften which affects the look and makes them more vulnerable to winds as well.

Overall, shingles are likely to struggle with the heat of the region.

These shingles might not last as long in weather that is hot and dry.

The shingles absorb heat without encouraging airflow, so they can contribute to a hotter home.

The hot sun can also create discoloration.

Nonetheless, asphalt roofing is still common and popular in hot regions mostly because of its affordability and ease of installation.
