Residential Roof Replacement in Scottsdale, AZ

A roof replacement is a major investment in your home’s future and safety. At Kellum Roofing, we approach every replacement with an artistic eye and a technician’s precision. Serving Scottsdale and the greater Valley, we specialize in removing aged, "baked" roofing systems and installing high-performance barriers designed to thrive in the Sonoran Desert.

Diagnosing Your Roof’s End-of-Life

In Arizona, tiles often look perfect while the underlayment beneath them is failing. We provide a comprehensive diagnostic report, including high-definition photos, to show you the state of your felt or synthetic barriers. If your underlayment is brittle or leaking, a full replacement is the only way to ensure 20–30 years of future protection.

Efficient Project Management, Minimal Disruption

We know that living in a construction zone is stressful. While other contractors let projects linger for weeks, we prioritize efficiency. Most of our tile replacements are completed in approximately 5 days, and shingle roofs often take even less, ensuring you get back to your normal life as quickly as possible.

Inspecting the Foundation of Your Roof

We never just "cover up" problems. Our replacement process involves a full tear-off down to the wood deck. We inspect every sheet of plywood for dry rot or structural weakness, replacing damaged wood before the new underlayment is ever laid down.

Helping Your Home Breathe in 110-Degree Heat

A roof that doesn't breathe is a roof that fails early. During replacement, we optimize your ridge vents and O'Hagin vents to ensure maximum airflow. This lowers the temperature of your attic and reduces the thermal stress on your new roofing materials.

Choosing Your Shield


Your replacement is only as good as the underlayment. We offer our "Good, Better, Best" tiers—ranging from Westlake Ply 40 to the premium self-adhered Tile Seal HT. We explain the technical benefits of each so you can choose the warranty and protection level that fits your goals.

The Sonoran Heat Shield Upgrade


For the ultimate replacement, we recommend our thermal sheet radiant barrier. This secondary layer reflects solar heat before it enters your home, providing a noticeable difference in your comfort and your monthly APS or SRP bills.

Our Quality Seal


We don’t consider the job finished until the owner performs a final quality check. We inspect the alignment of the tiles, the sealing of the penetrations, and the cleanliness of the property to ensure it meets our "Above and Beyond" standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know if I need a full roof replacement or just a repair?

    In Scottsdale, the intense sun bakes roofing materials daily. Even if your concrete or clay tiles look perfectly fine from the street, the felt underlayment beneath them typically dries out, becomes brittle, and fails after 15 to 25 years. If your home is in that age range, or if you are experiencing active leaks during monsoon season, a full replacement of the underlayment is usually required to ensure long-term structural safety.

  • What happens if you find rotted wood during the tear-off process?

    We never just cover up existing problems. During a full tear-off, we strip the roof down to the wooden deck to inspect every sheet of plywood. If we find dry rot, termite damage, or sun-baked fascia boards, we remove and replace the compromised wood before installing your new underlayment. This ensures your new roof has a rock-solid, secure foundation.

  • Do you help with HOA approvals for new roofs in Scottsdale?

    Yes. We have extensive experience working with strict homeowners associations across Scottsdale, including DC Ranch, McCormick Ranch, and Troon North. We will provide you with all the necessary documentation, material samples, and profile specifications to help you seamlessly navigate the HOA approval process before any construction begins.

  • What is the best roofing material to handle the Arizona heat?

    Concrete and clay tiles are the gold standard for Scottsdale architecture, but their performance relies on high-quality underlayment. For shingle roofs, we highly recommend Owens Corning Duration shingles for their superior wind resistance. Regardless of the top layer you choose, the best way to handle the 115-degree heat is adding our Sonoran thermal sheet upgrade—a radiant barrier installed under your roofing material that can lower your attic temperatures by up to 31 degrees.

  • How long does a complete roof replacement take?

    We know living in a construction zone is stressful, so we prioritize efficiency. Most standard residential tile roof replacements in the Valley are completed in approximately five days from the initial tear-off to the final magnetic sweep. Shingle roof replacements are often completed even faster. We keep you updated daily so you always know the exact timeline.
