The best roofing company in Scottsdalefor YOU

Whether you need a new roof, maintenance or a quick repair, it's always a good idea to have a few general questions ready for each contractor you're considering for an estimate. For example, you should ask about deposit requirements, payments accepted (and in-house financing, if your project is large), warranties and types of materials they offer.

While many roofing companies use satellite imagery and other technology to calculate their estimates, both companies we spoke with said they prefer to send someone for an in-person estimate. Satellites can't catch issues inside your home, identify structural issues like soft decking or tiny details like fascia that's pulling away from its fastening point.

Our pick for Scottsdale's top roofer is McMillan Brothers Painting & Roofing . Customers praised the company for its team's attention to detail, transparency in pricing and communication. In addition to an A+ BBB rating , hundreds of customers left glowing, five-star reviews on Google. It's also a great choice if your home's exterior could use a fresh coat of paint. Circle G Roofing is our top alternative recommendation, especially if you have a flat roof, which is the company's specialty. The company also specializes in storm-related repairs and is accredited by the BBB with an A+ rating.

Best roofing companies in Scottsdale, Ariz.

McMillan Brothers Painting & Roofing is the best overall Scottsdale roofing company

McMillan Brothers Painting & Roofing has been in business for over 40 years and is now in its third generation of ownership. It is licensed, bonded, and insured, and offers 24/7 emergency roofing services. Based on many reviews we read, clients opt to call this company time and time again for various services, whether they're painting their homes or need roofs replaced or repaired.

If you need a new roof, you can expect to pay a 25% down payment. If your project scope is smaller, like needing a repair or maintenance, you can pay when the job is done. McMillan Brothers accepts a variety of payments, including cash, checks, credit cards (a 3% fee applies) and Zelle. If insurance is covering the cost, the company is too small to have a staff that can help you navigate the claims process.

McMillan Brothers requires an in-person inspection to receive a quote, so don't expect to get a ballpark cost over the phone. Depending on the size and pitch of your roof as well as the materials you choose, a crew can typically replace it in a day or two. A foreman is on site for the entire project and serves as your contact person if you have any questions.

Services offered

• Roof repair, replacement, installation

• Power washing

• Stucco/drywall repairs

• Leak repairs

• House painting

The company offers a 10-year workmanship warranty for full roof installations and a five-year warranty for repairs. The material warranty varies by product and manufacturer. Warranties have a one-time transfer option if you sell your home. If there's weather in the forecast, your project may be pushed back to the next dry day. A thorough cleanup, with magnets to pick up stray nails, is included at the end of each job. If a permit is required, McMillan Brothers will pull it.

McMillan Brothers conducts background checks on its employees. It's accredited by the BBB with an A+ rating and has zero complaints. Satisfied customers have left glowing reviews, with the company boasting a five-star Google rating (209 reviews) and a 4.8-star Yelp rating (131 reviews). A key strength we noted? The company's exceptional responsiveness in addressing prior customer concerns. This dedication to resolution has often led customers to revise and raise their initially lower ratings.

McMillan Brothers Painting & Roofing is located at 3317 S. Higley Rd., Ste. 114-120, Gilbert, Ariz., 85297. It's open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed on Sundays. To schedule a free estimate, call 602-770-3737 or visit the website .

Customer testimonial

This is the 5th time I've contracted with this company, including a partial roof repair in on my primary home and a complete roof on my rental. Pricing was more than fair and the project outcomes always exceptional. They re-surfaced the flat patio roofs and replaced a small section that had been improperly done, and they became my go-to company for roofing and painting for the past 5 years. Chuck and his brother, Jack, will be upfront, professional and courteous every time, and their workers are 1st rate.- Charlie L., Google reviews (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

Circle G Roofing is our top alternative Scottsdale roofer

In business for over four decades, Circle G Roofing is the go-to company for anyone who needs a roof repair. It's also the only roofer on our list that specializes in flat roof maintenance, repair and new installation for residential and commercial buildings.

Circle G Roofing doesn't require a down payment for projects under $10,000. Unlike the other roofing companies in this guide, it doesn't accept credit card payments because of the service charge but does accept cash and checks. 

When we called, we learned that flat roofs comprise the bulk of Circle G Roofing's roofing projects. The person we spoke to said the company found this niche a few years ago and has focused on flat roof styles; however, if you have a tile roof that needs repair or replacing, they're happy to inspect it and generate an estimate. We couldn't get a ballpark estimate for a new roof over the phone because they prefer to send someone in person to take a look.

Services offered

• Storm damage restoration

• Spray foam roof installation, maintenance and repairs

• Tile and asphalt roof repair, installation and replacement

• Polyurea roof coating application

• Silicone roof coating application

• Commercial roofing

Circle G Roofing offers a five-year workmanship warranty on foam roof makeovers. When we asked about tile roofs, we learned that the company doesn't typically do new tile roof installations but will make that determination on a case-by-case basis. Material warranties are based on the product and manufacturer. The company will pull permits if required, and a thorough cleanup is a part of every job. 

The company conducts background checks on its employees. It is accredited by the BBB , holds an A+ rating and has zero complaints. It has a 4.9-star Google rating (95 reviews) and a 4.4-star Yelp rating (32 reviews). The majority of reviews praise the company for the work done on resealing, repairing or installing foam roofs.

Circle G Roofing is located at 7349 N. Paseo Del Sur, Suite 515, Scottsdale, Ariz., 95258. It is open Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and closed on Sundays. Call 602-791-6415 or visit its website to schedule a free estimate.

Customer testimonial

Circle G is honest, prompt and has fair prices. After a storm in our neighborhood, I was approached by a different roofing company. They said I needed a new roof with an outrageous price tag to go with it. I then called Circle G, who came out the next day, assessed the work needed, and returned with an honest and reasonable roof repair quote. They completed the work in two days, were professional, and I didn't feel like I was being taken to the cleaners. - Doug P., Google reviews (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

Best Choice Roofing is the best national roofer serving Scottsdale

Yahoo Local is here to help people make well-informed choices. Although we love highlighting local businesses, there are times when a national roofing company is simply the better fit for your project. If you're comparing the two, take a look at our guide on local vs. national roofers . For those considering a nationwide contractor, Best Choice Roofing is our top recommendation for Scottsdale.

Best Choice Roofing is headquartered in Tennessee and maintains dozens of offices throughout the Southeast, with a footprint that reaches far beyond the region. The company operates 90 locations across 30 states, including Scottsdale, offering full-service roofing, gutter and skylight work. Since beginning operations in 2009, this Tennessee-based company has become the largest Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor in the country. It holds a 4.3-star average on Google from over 200 reviews. On Yelp, the company's one-star rating comes from only two reviews and does not reflect its broader service record.

Most branches focus on asphalt shingle installations, though some can take on specialty material requests, including metal roofing. Every project includes a standard five-year labor warranty, with the option to upgrade to lifetime coverage. Thanks to its Platinum Preferred designation, Best Choice can also offer a 50-year materials warranty for Owens Corning products.

Services offered

• Roof repair, replacement, and installation

• Free roof inspections

• Roof cleaning

• Gutter services

• Skylight installation and repair

Like many large roofing companies, Best Choice does not provide estimates over the phone. Homeowners instead schedule a free on-site inspection. During the visit, a Best Choice "solutionist" will outline pricing, deposits, payment options and financing. According to the representative we spoke with, these details vary significantly depending on the project and location, which makes an in-person estimate necessary. Free inspections can typically be scheduled within 24 hours of your initial call.

Financing is the most frequently used option among customers, though alternative payment methods — such as card or check — may be available and can be discussed during your inspection.

Best Choice Roofing is accredited by the BBB with an A+ rating and has received roughly 80 complaints over the past three years. Its inspectors and project managers are employed in-house, while installation crews consist of subcontractors, which is standard among national roofing companies. All internal employees undergo criminal background checks before hiring, although results don't automatically disqualify applicants.

For more information on Best Choice Roofing, call 602-497-2868 or request a free inspection online . The nearby office in Phoenix is located at 2320 W. Mission Ln. #2, Phoenix, Ariz., 85021. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is closed on weekends.

Arizona roofing FAQs

How much does the average roof replacement cost in Arizona?

The average roof replacement in Arizona typically costs between $8,000 to $15,000 for a standard single-family home, with most projects falling around $7,484 depending on roof size, pitch and materials, according to This Old House . Costs are higher for larger homes, premium materials and complex roof designs.

For more, read our guide on how much it costs to replace a roof .

How do I know if my roof needs repairs or a full replacement?

A roof often needs repairs when problems are small and localized, and a full replacement when the damage is widespread, the roof is nearing the end of its lifespan or there are structural concerns. A roofing contractor will consider its age, extent of damage and frequency of recurring issues when calculating whether to recommend repair or replacement.

Fixing the affected section, flashing or sealant can restore protection without replacing the entire roof. Repairs are often sufficient if damage is limited to one area, like a small leak after a storm or a few missing or lifted shingles, or the roof is young for its material type.

It's often more cost-effective to replace than repair your roof if it's at or past its typical lifespan. However, signs you need a replacement include:

• Curling, cracking or bald shingles (losing granules)

• Shingles missing completely in large sections across the roof

• Multiple or recurring leaks, sagging or uneven rooflines or signs of long-term moisture damage in the attic, like rot, mold or persistent dampness

For the full rundown, check out our guide on how to decide if you need to repair or replace your roof .

Are there roofing regulations or permits required in Arizona?

Roofing contractors must follow specific Arizona state and local laws to work. They need an active license from the Arizona Register of Contractors (ROC), which requires passing a trade and business management exam to show roofing knowledge and experience. Licensed contractors must also carry liability insurance and, when they have employees, a workers' compensation package.

If your roof needs minor repairs, you likely don't need a permit; however, the state regulates roofing and requires a permit for:

• Structural changes or additions to a structure

• Replacing or reroofing a large section of an existing roof (25% or more)

• Installing additional layers to an existing roof

• Replacing an entire roof

In Scottsdale specifically, the city does not require a permit if you're retiling or re-shingling a roof with the same material. Local regulations typically address roof construction and the materials it can use. Codes may specify minimum slopes, maximum pitches and material options to meet fire and safety standards as well as requirements for components like flashing, vents and skylights.

For more, read our complete guide to roofing licensing and regulations in Arizona .

How long does a roof typically last in Arizona?

According to Lyons Roofing , a concrete and tile roof can last up to 50 years or more. Asphalt shingles typically last between 20 and 50 years, while foam flat roofs last between 25 and 35. Check out our guide to roofing material lifespans for more .

What is the best time of year to replace a roof in Arizona?

Because extreme summer temperatures can soar over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, the best time to install a roof is between October and December, according to Drytop Roofing , a roofer based near Phoenix. Harsh summer temperatures can cause asphalt shingles to crack and blister, for example, and triple-digit temperatures and UV exposure can degrade underlayment adhesives. The state's monsoon season (June through September) brings unpredictable, heavy downpours, lightning and high winds.
