Phoenix
Phoenix says re-shingling or re-tiling with the same material needs no permit, but switching from shingles to a tile roof does. City of Phoenix Planning and Development Department. Common repairs: sun-worn shingles and seals, cracked or slipped tiles, flat roof leaks. Our editorial estimate for a typical asphalt replacement is $7,500–$20,000. Extreme UV and monsoon storms favor tile and foam roofs built for desert heat.
