Roof Replacement and Repair in Glendale, AZ
Where Kellum Roofing is based. Our shortest response times start here.
Glendale is not a service area for us. It is where Kellum Roofing is based, where Jeremy Kellum lives, and where our trucks start and end the day. Everything else on our service map is somewhere we drive to. This is the one we come home to. That has practical consequences for a Glendale homeowner. Response times on an emergency call are shortest here. We know the permit process in this city because we go through it constantly. And the roofs we install in this town are ones we drive past regularly, which is a level of accountability that does not exist for a contractor working forty miles from their shop.
Glendale Roofs Span Sixty Years of Building
This city did not get built all at once, and that shows up on the rooftops. Historic Catlin Court and the older neighborhoods around downtown Glendale hold homes from the early and mid twentieth century, many with roofs that have been reworked several times by several different contractors, each layer of history introducing its own detail problems. The postwar and mid century tracts through the central part of the city are largely shingle and low slope, and a lot of them are on their third or fourth roof. Then the growth pushed north. Arrowhead Ranch and the developments around it went up through the eighties and nineties with tile roofs, and that entire generation of housing is now sitting on original underlayment that has passed the point where it can be relied on. The newest builds along the northern edge are the ones where we are usually doing repairs rather than replacements. Where your Glendale house sits on that timeline tells us a lot before we ever get on the ladder.
The Arrowhead Underlayment Wave
If you live in Arrowhead Ranch, Sierra Verde, Hillcrest Ranch or one of the neighboring communities, your tile is probably fine and your underlayment probably is not. That is not a sales line, it is arithmetic. Underlayment installed under Arizona tile in the late eighties and nineties has now spent decades under a roof deck reaching extreme temperatures for months at a time. Heat is what ages it. It gets brittle, it cracks, and it stops sealing around the fasteners. The tile above it, being concrete, does not care and looks exactly the same as it did. This is why a lift and reset is the most common job we do in north Glendale. We remove and stack your existing tile, replace all of the underlayment, and put the same tile back down with new fasteners. You get a completely new waterproofing system without paying for new tile.
Monsoon Response in Our Own City
Glendale takes monsoon activity like the rest of the west Valley, and outflow winds through here regularly lift and shift tile on roofs that were otherwise doing fine. Wind damage is often invisible from the ground, which is why the leak shows up weeks later during the next storm rather than the night of the one that caused it. We run 24 hour emergency response, and in Glendale that means we are genuinely close. If a roof opens up at eleven at night, we can tarp it and stop the water before it turns into a drywall and insulation problem. Call (480) 258-0925.
What We Do Around Town
Full tile roof replacement and underlayment lift and resets, shingle roof replacement with Owens Corning and GAF systems, flat and foam roofing on the flat sections and patio covers that are all over this city, roof repair on all of those types, commercial roofing on the office and retail properties around Westgate and the 101 corridor, and fascia repair and replacement on the sun rotted board behind your gutter line. We do not work on metal roofing, and we will tell you that when you call rather than sending someone out to look at a job we are not right for.
Licensed Locally and Verifiable
Kellum Roofing LLC holds Arizona ROC license 352782, is bonded and fully insured, and is a BBB Accredited Business. Every piece of that is checkable, and we hand over the documentation before we start rather than after you ask twice. We are also happy to be judged on the finish. Clean valley cuts, straight ridge lines and properly painted fascia are visible from the sidewalk, which in our own city is not a small consideration.

I've worked with roofing companies before. Left nails all over, poorly communicated, etc. This company was like a complete 180. I will literally only use Kellum and refer them to everyone going forward.
