I live in a 55+ HOA and decided to explore a group of residents getting roof recoating done at the same time. We spoke with several roofing companies and had 3 onsite bids. Tony and Modern Desert Roofing were the clear winners based upon - Expertise for our older roofs, quality of materials suggested and thoroughness of their inspections and detailed quotes to include: Secure and mechanically fasten any unsecured metal drip edge, flashings, t-tops, pipe jacks Clean, scrape and prep flat roof, powerwash as necessary to achieve maximum coating adhesion Repair any damaged, cracked, blistered areas using APOC #264 and polymembrane Three course seal all pipes, penetrations and any scuppers with APOC #264 and polymembrane throughout Seal roof to wall connections with APOC #264 and polymembrane Seal any metal drip edge and three course seal where split or lifted Seal all roofing material at parapet wall lap seams and corners Seal the base of any existing ductwork and HVAC curbs as necessary with APOC #264 No other companies mentioned or perhaps even included this level of work. Were they the cheapest? No, but they were competitive and you get what you pay for. Also of note, Tucson Rubberized Coating who makes the product most roofers use, has them listed as one of their top preferred vendor. Modern Desert Roofing has done about 10 homes in our community so far, with more scheduled to follow. We ALL give them 5-stars. read more

Modern Desert Roofing - My Finished Roof - Roofing Near Me

Very nice and pleasant people to deal with. They arrived shortly before 8 am and just finished up. They found a cracked sky light. My home is almost 30 years old, so that wasn't a surprise. They will come back tomorrow to replace the skylight. Overall great customer service and an excellent work ethic. And Tony is bi-lingual. Which is a genuine plus in the Tucson market. Hope he will add that to the website. read more

What prompted us to get new roof underlayment was when we notices wood rot on a facia board. When our crew took back tiles to expose that improper drainage we discovered about 6 square feet of damaged underlayment and my concern was how much other damage was up there. The house was built by Robson in early 2009. The felt underlayment was brittle and easily torn. We got a great bid from Modern Desert Roofing and a personal recommendation from our friends who experienced a good outcome. They said they could start on our house in 2 weeks and it would take around 7 work days to complete. The crew worked well together and seemed to enjoy what they were doing. They always took a lunch hour 11-12, and usually left by 3:30 as they had a long commute home. We dealt with Juan who was amazing. The new polymer self adhesive underlayment is so tough and durable and over 100 new tiles were installed but you can't see them as any different from the originals. The bottom line is we now know we have a solid roof system over us and it looks great, and we happily tipped all the crew who kept the job site neat and clean. Very conscientious group of guys. Highly recommend you get a bid from these guys. read more

We recently purchased a fixer upper that needed a new roof clay tiles and flat built up sections with elastomeric coating. There was dry rot & termite damage that needed replacing - it was basically a hot mess of a roof. After a little bit of research, reading yelp & google reviews, and a couple of estimates we decided to go with Modern Desert roofing. I think they actually missed our phone call and called us right back! My husband talked to the manager Tony who gave us the roofing material options and quotes. Everything was laid out in clear language and very transparent. Photographs of the roof and areas with bad wood were included. The quotes gave us options for full or partial replacement and also for a selection of materials. We opted for the full replacement - It was not the cheapest nor the most expensive quote but it seemed very fair. We were also confident that they would do a good job for us - which is why we selected them. This communication and decision to move forward was probably in March 2022. We were put on the schedule for 5/2 - they are just finishing up a full roof replacement of and we are very pleased with the work. Some things we noted about Modern Desert Roofing We are not 100% at the property yet so having a reliable & trustworthy company was paramount. We didn't arrive until the day after the work started. However, it didn't matter this company didn't slack. They arrived on site and got busy. Great Crew!!! My husband noticed a crack tile and was going to mention it but they noticed it first and replaced it before he had a chance to say anything. We are happy that we chose Modern Desert Roofing - We would hire them again and will definitely keep their number handy so we can recommend read more

Tony was easy to work with, negotiable re. items like moving a/c, and responsive. MDR matched prices with better quality materials than any other bid. Work was timely and the site was left spic and span. This a rental home and the long-term tenants, who can be picky, were very happy. Also great to report there were NO extra charges on completion. The front office was polite and pleasant but a little flaky, so if the option was available the 5th star could be a half - but closer to 5 than 4. Overall excellent - let's see if the work holds up. read more

My sister and my father utilized Modern Desert Roofing repair services for their houses and recommended the company to us! The roof repair work on our house looks great! We're impressed with the hard work ethic, thoroughness, efficiency, and friendliness of the staff! We appreciate the excellent customer service from Cora and staff helping us from beginning to end with scheduling the work during a busy time, following up and being available for assistance and questions to facilitate the roof repair for our whole house! read more

Modern Desert Roofing did a partial roof replacement for me as well as a subsequent repair due to wind damage for a portion of the roof that they did not replace. These guys were on time and did a great job. Nice to work with a company that follows through on their promises and keep to their quoted schedule. There were no surprises throughout the work and they sent me pics of all the work they did after completion. Highly recommend. read more

I have to say that Modern Desert Roofing did a excellent job on our house. They did some roof repair and installed a new shingle roof for us. Every thing was done as they said they would. They kept the property clean everyday and when they were finished cleaned up and gave me arial pictures of the roof. We are very happy with their craftsmanship. read more

We had 2 leaks due to the severe thunderstorms. Tony was the first person who took the time OVER THE PHONE to look at satellite images of my house and talk through possible fixes, sources, and quotes. He and his team communicate through phone, text, and phone. They even return missed phone calls! They fixed the leaks first and then the rest of the house over the course of 2 weeks based on their availability which was fine with us. We didn't have to be there at all. We just needed to make sure that there was a workable outdoor plug. Paid as expected for the entire roof. read more

MDC was positively different from 4 other responses we received after requesting quotes and/or proposals. Our project involved a seriously leaking patio bar roof with an AC unit and a large evaporative cooler. We appreciated the specificity of the proposal at the outset, the communication and cooperation with the HVAC and crane crew. The MDC crew was exceptional in the way of accommodating business needs and with cleanup. We reviewed the work on the roof and were very satisfied with our repaired roof, awaiting the next rain. We received our first significant rain and can proclaim the roof leak-proof for the first time in a few years:) $3600 to MDC, and $1800 to D & H Air Conditioning & Heating (Crane units removal and replacement over two days). btw, the MDC proposal and final cost were not only more specific, but much more reasonable than the other two proposals received. read more

They sub-contracted our job out without asking us or even informing us. Poor communication - crew didn't even show on day 2 of a scheduled 3 day job. Left old wires hanging off the roof in front of the house, unpainted trim (even though we selected an edge color for our estimate - the crew had no idea), and they got hot tar splatter on our patio pavers and skylights. The Modern Desert Roofing crew came out for some final clean up upon our request and did a very good job. I just wish they would have been the ones doing all the work. read more

Very pleased with the estimate survey and work done to replace several tiles, refresh the mortar and fix the flash to give my roof an update after buying my home. Good guys. Very pleased. Good cleanup. read more

Our 22 year old tile roof needed to be redone. I reached out via Yelp for an estimate and was immediately answered. Edgar showed up to inspect the roof, on time as scheduled. We had received other quotes that were around same price but really liked MDR's responsiveness and they seemed very trustworthy and used quality products. Job was pushed back due to rain delays but once started, workers were here everyday and worked entire day in the heat. Very impressed with their work ethic. They kept us apprised of any issues they found and cleaned up everyday to ensure no nails were left behind. After job was completed, we found an issue with the fascia. They came right back and fixed it. No questions asked and no additional charge. Would highly recommend. read more

Modern Desert Roofing is top-notch! I got bids from four companies and decided to go with Modern Desert Roofing. They had great on-line reviews and their bid was a very fair price. The staff were friendly and responsive to my concerns. This is a small family-run firm and all the employees were fabulous! Everyone was great at their jobs from Tony and Cora in the office, to Manuel, Hugo, Victor, Daniel, David, and Mauricio on the roof. When I raised concerns with the roofers, they listened and promptly accommodated my requests. I was very happy with the finished product and would not hesitate to use them again. In fact, before they even started my project, I recommended them to two neighbors who both decided to use them as well. You can't go wrong with this firm - they provide a quality product at a fair price and if there's any issues, they will make things right! read more

My roof was 30 years old and the leaks had started. I got several quotes from roofers around town and Modern Desert beat them all for price hands down. The guys worked hard on the roof and did a great job cleaning up every day. I only ever found one loose nail on the ground. It was windy and rainy so it took them a little longer than planned and there was more fascia needing replaced than we thought. With the extra time and materials needed I was a little worried that the price would jump. It didn't. I paid about $500 more just for material, no additional labor. All my neighbors are coming due for roofs soon and I'll be recommending them to everyone. read more

Our skylight was leaking so we called to get an estimate. They came out and we were quoted and were told we would receive an estimate within a few days. We never received the estimate and called them back to see what happened. They did not answer our call at first and called us back the next day. They said we would receive our estimate soon and we still haven't. This all occurred in March. I understand that it is a small job compared to doing a whole roof but it would have been much easier to let us know they did not want our business. read more

Modern Desert Roofing did a fantastic job on my daughters roof. She works from home and they accommodated their work hours to my daughters hours. They would start early in the morning, and leave right before my daughter started work in the afternoon. The quote they gave me with all the work that had to be done, was reasonable and the final bill was a little over the quote but very manageable. When I need my roof inspected, and work done on it I will definitely call Modern Desert Roofing. read more

Modern Desert Roofing did an amazing job re-roofing our entire, very huge tile roof. Their initial estimate by Edgar was the quickest, most professional and most accurate of any we received. From start to finish, the communication was impeccable. Their manager, Tony, listened and complied to my wishes every step of the way and did not rush any detail. They used all the best materials and all of their crew were talented and a pleasure to work with. Thank You Tony and Modern Desert for the excellent job! read more

We have a very old roof that started leaking from all the monsoon rain. We got quotes from five different roofers for a replacement. Modern Desert Roofing was right in the middle price-wise, but I was impressed by their very detailed proposal. They could tell the roof needed a lot of work, but it would be hard to know for certain until they stripped off the old shingles. They gave us a breakdown of different scenarios and the cost of extra materials. We ultimately decided to go with them because of the obvious care they used in providing such a thorough proposal. That attention to detail was present throughout every stage of their work. The crew was friendly, communicative, and did beautiful work. They were very gracious after a slight mix-up in communication (the proposal included removal of two old swamp coolers but they thought it was only one and had already moved on from removal to prepping the underlay). The crew promptly worked to remove the additional cooler without complaint and continued the job. They kept the area tidy as they worked and we were happy to have a completely new roof in less than a week. It started raining the day after they finished and the roof held up great. As expected, they did end up needing to use more materials than quoted (we had SO MUCH rotten wood that needed to be replaced). The office was very apologetic because they said they pride themselves on staying as close to the initial quote as possible, so they opted not to charge for some of the additional work they did on replacing rafters/bird stops. I told them I was happy to pay for all of the work they did and they still refused to charge me for it. It's such a gem to find kind, honest, quality companies to work with. This was an outstanding experience all around. I would not hesitate to recommend Modern Desert Roofing. read more

We had a new tile roof installed on a large home and we were pleased with the final results.

The owner Mr. Cruz was easily accessible for any questions. All pricing was upfront and transparent. The quote was very reasonable for the roof repair and replacement. When the house was built in 2001, the builders saved by spacing the tiles too far apart. The roof was replaced to code and over 150 additional tiles needed to be added. Time was taken to match the new tiles to the current usable tiles. Very happy with the results. This was a roof repair/replacement. The house is in Tucson but I currently live in Georgia. Communication was very good between the company, my renters and myself. This is my forever home for when I can come back to Tucson and I am grateful that this roof should last for years to come. read more

These guys are top notch with fair pricing super responsive and the roofing guys were great - if you need a roofer these are your guys

Modern Desert Roofing repaired our tile roof, the crew was efficient and did an excellent job. MDR is an outstanding company to do business with from Tony Cruz the owner, to April in the office. They recoated another family members flat roof with excellent results. Thank you for our peace of mind, especially during the monsoon season. read more

We had a roof leak that occurred every so often. We called Modern Desert Roofing and they came out found the issue, took photos and explained what the problem was. We received an estimate 3-4 days later detailing the work that would be done and a reasonable price. They came out approximately a week later and the two employees completed the work in about 2 hours. They were efficient, polite and very neat. We would definitely use this company again. read more

I totally appreciate Modern Desert Roofing - from the estimator to the scheduler to the crew. Thank you! Professional, accurate, informative, responsive - kept the work area tidy. It is a big tile roof - so happy to have the job of reroofing done before any major leaks happened. read more

What a fantastic company to work with! We got multiple quotes, but MDR was the most responsive and thorough. Our 20 yr. old tile roof needed the underlayment replaced. They worked with us, answering all our questions about the most suitable material. Unfortunately, our roof was scheduled to be started right in the middle of the heat wave. The entire team working was incredible, and surprisingly the heat didn't seem to slow them down at all. What a great group of hard workers who are extremely knowledgeable in their trade. We tried to get them to come into A/C to cool down, but they said that was harder to readjust after that, so they stayed outside. We can't thank them enough for such a great job. The day after they left- we got a monsoon. Not a single leak and we highly recommend them to anyone who needs an excellent roofing company! They did an excellent job on the cleanup, and billing was simple, honest, and accurate. The entire company gets a 5+ star rating from us! read more

Outstanding company. Their proposals were detailed, included photographs, and they met with me to review them and answer my many questions. The work was performed on time, the crew was very experienced, professional, cleaned up as they worked and always answered my questions to my satisfaction. I would hire them again and recommend them to any homeowner in the Tucson area that will be repairing or replacing their roof. read more

I needed a roof replacement and I received 4 bids. Modern Desert Roofing was in the middle insofar as pricing but what stood out was the professionalism and responsiveness of their entire staff, the detailed appraisal that left nothing that was questionable and included a lot of detailed pictures of my existing roof. I chose Modern Desert Roofing and I'm glad I did. The quality of work was exceptional and the crew were friendly and considerate of my home. The cleanup was very good also. I would highly recommend this firm for any of your roofing needs. read more

They recently did my roof and did a great job! Tony came out the day after I contacted them to do the bid. They started the project within a week and did great work. I highly recommend them! read more
