Who We Are
Experienced Commercial TPO Roofing Contractors Serving the Tucson Area
Phoenix Roofing & Repair runs a Tucson TPO roofing office serving commercial property owners and managers across Southern Arizona. Founded by brothers Jeff and Josiah Guthrie, the company uses in-house crews only, so one accountable team handles a TPO roof from first inspection through the final walkthrough.
One Point of Contact
A dedicated superintendent runs each job, so you always know who to call.
Heat-Welded Seams
Every seam is welded and probe-tested by hand, not glued.
Free Inspections
Crews get on the roof, photograph the details, and explain what they find.
Written Estimates
You get a written scope and price, not a phone guess.
That accountability is why property managers and HOA boards across the Tucson area call for re-roofs, recovers, and leak repairs. GAF Master Elite is a certification fewer than 2% of U.S. roofers hold, so qualifying systems carry a manufacturer-backed warranty.
Services
The TPO Roofing Work We Handle in Tucson
New TPO Installation
New heat-welded TPO systems for new construction and re-roofs on flat, low-slope Tucson buildings, specced to the building, not whatever is cheapest.
- Insulation and membrane matched to the building
- Every seam heat-welded and probe-tested
- Manufacturer-tier warranty on qualifying systems
TPO Re-Roof & Replace
Full tear-off and replacement when the roof is past saving. The old system comes off, wet insulation and drainage get corrected, and a new TPO roof goes on.
- Complete tear-off down to a sound deck
- Wet insulation and ponding fixed, not hidden
- Written scope before the crew starts
TPO Recover (Overlay)
When the deck and insulation are dry, a recover installs a new membrane over the existing roof, extending service life at lower cost and with less disruption below.
- Deck and moisture verified before recommending
- Confirmed against code layer limits
- Less downtime for occupied buildings
TPO Repair & Seam Weld
Targeted repairs for isolated leaks, seam splits, and failing flashings on TPO membranes, so a roof that mostly works does not get replaced before its time unnecessarily.
- Seam re-welding and lap repair
- Membrane patching for punctures and tears
- Leak tracing back to the actual source
Flashing & Drain Detail
Most TPO leaks start at the details, not the field membrane. Flashings, curbs, and drains get rebuilt, and scuppers that dust and monsoon debris clog get cleared.
- Wall, curb, and parapet flashing rebuilt
- Pipe boots and rooftop penetrations resealed
- Drains and scuppers cleared and re-flashed

How TPO Fails
Why a Tucson TPO Roof Fails at the Seams First
A TPO roof rarely leaks because the field membrane wore out. It fails at the welded seams, the flashings, and the drains, and the Sonoran Desert works those details hard. Surface temperatures clear 150 degrees and swing about 50 degrees in a day.
Thermal Cycling at the Seams
Every daily temperature swing works the welded seams, so a weld run at the wrong temperature splits first.
UV and 300-Plus Sun Days
Constant ultraviolet chalks an unprotected membrane and breaks down the sealants at the details over time.
Ponding and Clogged Drains
Monsoon rain arrives fast and dust clogs scuppers, so standing water finds the weakest seam.
A Reflective Cool-Roof Surface
A reflective TPO membrane can stay more than 50 degrees cooler than a dark roof in peak sun.
How to Read Your Roof
How to Tell What Your Tucson TPO Roof Needs
Needs a Repair
If the leaks are isolated and the membrane is otherwise sound, a repair is usually the right call, re-welding the seam, rebuilding the flashing, or sealing the penetration without paying for a new roof.
- A leak that shows up under one area or penetration
- Visible seam splits or open laps in one section
- Flashing pulling away at a single wall or curb
Needs a Recover
If the field membrane is worn but the structure underneath is dry, a recover can extend the roof without a full tear-off. The deck and insulation get verified first, because covering wet insulation only traps the problem.
- Deck and insulation are dry and structurally sound
- Several small repairs over the last few years
- Code still allows a second membrane layer
Needs Full Replacement
If water has gotten into the system, patching the surface will not hold. When the insulation is wet across large areas and seams are failing throughout, a full tear-off and new TPO is the honest call.
- Wet or soft insulation across large areas
- Widespread seam failure and ponding
- A roof at or past 20-plus years with recurring leaks
Needs Drainage Work
If leaks track to the edges and rooftop equipment rather than the field, the fix is often detailing and drainage, not a new roof. Clearing drains and rebuilding flashings can solve it for a fraction of the cost.
- Water ponds more than 48 hours after a storm
- Drains and scuppers are dust-clogged
- Leaks trace back to penetrations and flashings
One Accountable Team
Why Tucson Owners Choose One Accountable TPO Roofing Team
TPO detailing only holds up if the crew that welds it is accountable for it. Phoenix Roofing & Repair, founded and still run by brothers Jeff and Josiah Guthrie, a GAF Master Elite and ARCA Member contractor, runs every Tucson job with in-house crews.
One Point of Contact
A dedicated superintendent runs the job start to finish, so a property manager always knows who to call.
In-House Crews, No Subcontractors
Company crews weld every seam, so the team that inspected the roof is the team that installs it.
HAAG Certified Inspectors
HAAG certified inspectors read every roof, so the scope reflects what is failing, not a sales target.
Proven at Commercial Scale
Commercial roofing delivered on projects over 300,000 square feet, including the SPF foam coating at Artisan Lofts.
Recover or Replace: Tucson TPO Decision Guide
Once a spot repair is ruled out, the real decision on a Tucson commercial roof is whether to recover the existing membrane or tear the whole system off. Here is how owners and managers get walked through it.
When to Recover
The deck and insulation are dry. What shows up when the roof is opened is a worn surface, not soaked or compromised structure.
The roof carries only one membrane layer. Code still allows a recover before a tear-off is required.
Leaks are tied to the surface. They track to the membrane and details, not to wet insulation across the roof.
Lower cost and less disruption matter. A recover extends service life without a full tear-off over an occupied building.
Downtime must be minimized. The building stays occupied and daily operations keep running.
When to Replace
Insulation is wet or soft across large areas. Covering it would trap moisture and the failure would continue.
The roof already carries a recover layer. Or code requires a tear-off before a new membrane goes down.
Seam failure and ponding are widespread. The problems are across the roof, not isolated to one or two spots.
The roof is at or past 20-plus years. With recurring leaks, a new system is the smarter long-term call.
The deck itself is compromised. Soft or damaged decking has to be addressed regardless of the membrane.
Not sure which one you are looking at? That is what the inspection is for. Crews get on the roof, check the membrane, seams, drains, and insulation, and say straight whether the roof can be recovered or whether replacement is the smarter call.
Roof Repair Insurance Coverage
Storm Hit Your Roof? We Handle the Whole Insurance Claim
Monsoon wind and hail can lift seams, puncture the membrane, and damage rooftop equipment on a commercial roof. Before a claim is filed or anyone touches the roof, the damage should be documented properly.
A first-pass adjuster inspection on a flat commercial roof misses things. Lifted seams under intact-looking membrane, hail bruising, and damaged edge flashings all get overlooked when nobody gets on the roof and checks the details.
We inspect the roof and photograph every point of storm damage, from lifted seams to punctured membrane and bruised flashing, before a claim is ever filed.
We prepare the claim and any supplements, so the estimate reflects the full scope of membrane and flashing damage, not just what is easy to see.
We attend every adjuster meeting, 100% of the time, so the person writing your estimate sees the damage the way our roofers do.
We help recover the depreciation the policy owes once the work is complete, so the roof gets restored to its full pre-storm condition.
What Gets Handled on an Insurance Claim
Full documentation of the damage with dated photos and a written report the carrier can act on.
Claim and supplement preparation so nothing legitimate gets left off the final estimate.
Adjuster meetings attended in person, every time, not left to a phone call.
Deductible collected in full, as Arizona law requires, and never waived, absorbed, or rebated.
If a storm just hit the building, call for rapid response during business hours. A Tucson crew gets on the roof and tells you honestly whether you have a claim worth filing.

WHO WE ARE
Two Brothers, One Accountable Roofing Company
Phoenix Roofing & Repair is run by brothers Jeff and Josiah Guthrie. Jeff leads as CEO and Josiah as COO, and they built the company on one idea: the people who own it should own the work.
That is why every crew is in-house, not subcontracted. When a Tucson property manager hires Phoenix Roofing & Repair, the same company that inspected the roof does the work, backs the workmanship, and answers the phone if anything comes up later.
Decades of Arizona roofs later, that standard has not changed, and it is why owners call back by name.
Our Process
How a TPO Repair, Recover, or Replacement Works
Inspection and Moisture Check
Crews get on the roof and check the membrane, seams, flashings, drains, and insulation, and find what is actually failing before anything is quoted. The documentation comes either way, and the inspection is free.
Written Estimate and Scope
The written estimate spells out a defined scope, whether repair, recover, or replacement, so the work and the cost are clear up front, including which option fits and when one clearly does not.
In-House Installation
Company crews do the work, heat-weld and probe-test every seam, and keep one point of contact communicating through the job, so the building keeps running while the roof gets done.
The same three steps run every job, from a single seam repair to a full TPO replacement, across the Tucson area.

FAQ’s
Tucson Commercial TPO Roofing Questions
How long does a TPO roof last in Tucson?
A properly installed TPO roof commonly serves a Tucson commercial building 20 to 30 years. In this climate the seams, flashings, and drains usually need attention before the field membrane does, so lifespan depends heavily on weld quality and how well the details are maintained. Every seam is heat-welded and probe-tested by hand.
Is TPO a good choice for Tucson heat?
Yes. TPO is a reflective single-ply membrane that pushes sunlight back instead of absorbing it, which suits a climate with 300-plus sun days and 150-degree surface temperatures. The reflective surface helps manage rooftop heat, and heat-welded seams hold up to the daily temperature swing better than glued laps.
Can a TPO roof be repaired, not replaced?
Often, yes. If the leaks are isolated and the insulation underneath is dry, the affected seams, flashings, or penetrations get repaired rather than the whole roof replaced. Moisture is checked first, because a repair only makes sense when the deck below is still sound.
Are you a licensed and credentialed Tucson roofing contractor?
Yes. Phoenix Roofing & Repair is a licensed Arizona roofing contractor, ROC #340941, an ARCA Member, and BBB A+ rated. It is also a GAF Master Elite company, a certification fewer than 2% of all U.S. roofers hold, with HAAG certified inspectors for residential and commercial roofs.
Does the Tucson office handle storm insurance claims?
Yes. The damage gets documented, the claim and any supplements prepared, and every adjuster meeting attended, 100% of the time. Arizona law requires the deductible to be collected in full, and it is never waived, absorbed, or rebated. Call (520) 917-9152 for rapid response during business hours.
What does a commercial TPO roof cost in Tucson?
Commercial TPO is priced per project, not off a per-square chart, because roof size, insulation, tear-off versus recover, drains, and rooftop equipment all move the number. A written estimate follows the roof inspection, and the inspection is free, with no obligation to proceed.
