Why Scottsdale Homeowners Shouldn't Wait to Replace Aging Roof Underlayment

If you own a home in Scottsdale or Phoenix, chances are you're enjoying beautiful desert views, abundant sunshine, and some extreme weather patterns that can quietly wreak havoc on your roof. One of the most overlooked yet critical components of your roof system is the underlayment. At CDL Roofing, we've helped hundreds of Scottsdale homeowners, especially in neighborhoods like Legend Trail, DC Ranch, Grayhawk, Stonegate, and others, to protect their homes by replacing aging tile roof underlayment before major issues arise.

Why Underlayment Matters in the Desert Climate

In Scottsdale's hot, dry climate, with its occasional monsoon storms and sudden temperature swings, your roof underlayment works overtime. This layer sits beneath your roof tiles and acts as your home's last line of defense against water intrusion. Over time, exposure to heat, UV rays, and seasonal storms breaks down the material, even if your tiles still appear intact.

When Should You Replace Your Roof Underlayment?

For most Scottsdale tile roofs, underlayment has a typical lifespan of 20 to 25 years. If your home was built in the late 1990s or early 2000s, there's a good chance your original underlayment may be nearing the end of its effectiveness. Signs it may be time to inspect your underlayment include:

• Small interior ceiling stains

• Loose or slipped tiles

• Visible wear or cracking on the underlayment

• Recent monsoon damage

• Increased granule loss in gutters
