If you’ve ever stepped outside during a Scottsdale summer, you know how brutal the Arizona sun can be. But have you considered how much that heat is impacting your energy bills—specifically through your roof?
Most of the heat in your home enters from above. The right roofing materials and coatings can do more than protect your home—they can actually help cool it.
Here’s how reflective roofing works, and why the right roof can lead to real savings.
Reflective roofing systems are built to bounce sunlight away from your home instead of absorbing it. In Arizona, this can significantly reduce attic temperatures and lower your indoor cooling demands.
Common reflective roofing options include:
Foam roofing with white or light-colored coatings
Reflective coatings for flat roofs
Cool roof shingles with reflective granules
Less heat means your AC doesn’t have to work as hard—especially during those 110° days.
Arizona homeowners are increasingly turning to reflective roofing solutions not just for comfort, but for long-term savings and durability. From foam coatings to cool shingles, these materials are engineered to perform under extreme desert conditions. If you’re curious about why so many local homeowners are making the switch, check out our blog on the benefits of cool roofs and reflective surfaces in Arizona.
Foam roofing is one of the most energy-efficient options for Arizona homeowners. When properly installed and coated, it offers insulation and protection while reflecting up to 85% of the sun’s rays.
Benefits of foam roofing include:
Lower attic temperatures
Reduced energy usage
Extended roof lifespan
Better home comfort year-round
If it’s been 5–10 years since your foam roof was last coated, it may be time for a refresh to keep those energy-saving benefits intact.
Absolutely. Reflective roofing can help Arizona homeowners cut 10–30% off cooling costs annually. Plus, local utility companies like APS and SRP may offer rebates when you upgrade to energy-efficient roofing systems or coatings.
A cooler roof also means:
Less wear and tear on roofing materials
Reduced thermal stress on your home
Fewer HVAC repairs over time
It’s a smarter, longer-lasting investment in both comfort and value.
Your roof is your first defense against Arizona’s extreme heat. If you’re not sure whether your current roof is helping or hurting your home’s efficiency, we’d be happy to take a look.
