• Do estimates cost anything?

  No. The company states that estimates are always free, and that it is happy to look closely at the roof, discuss what is needed and give a detailed written estimate at no cost.

• Which types of roof does the company work on?

  Tile roofs, shingle roofs and low sloped or built up roofs of most types. The company keeps one of the largest inventories of roofing tiles in the southwest for tile work.

• Are there any roofs the company does not work on?

  The website states that wood shake is among the roof types the company does not generally work on. It is worth asking on the phone if you are unsure what you have.

• Is Roofsavers Locke Roofing licensed, bonded and insured?

  Yes. The company is licensed, bonded and insured, and publishes Arizona ROC numbers 130353 and 130354 on its website along with a link to check licence status.

• How long has the company been trading?

  The business has worked in the Tucson roofing trade since 1983 and is owned by Joe Locke.

• My tile roof is leaking. Do the tiles have to come off?

  Usually yes. A tile roof is a system of underlayment, flashing and tiles, so the company explains that tiles have to be lifted to reach and correct the problem underneath, otherwise the leak returns.

• Does roof coating on its own stop a flat roof leaking?

  No. The company is explicit that roof coating does not keep water out on its own, which is why penetrations and flashings are properly re-sealed before any coating goes on.

• What causes broken tiles when nobody has been on the roof?

  Tiles can crack from heat movement, settling, hail and from earlier foot traffic during other work such as air conditioning or satellite installation. The company recommends finding and replacing broken tiles quickly, because they lead to faster deterioration of the roof underneath.
