RENCO Roofing

The monsoon season has begun! Last night's monsoon produced nearly 3 inches of rain in some areas, and roofs across the city are showing their age. This will not be the last storm of the season. If you've discovered that you have a water intrusion problem, here's how Renco can help: *Emergency service — we respond fast to stop active leaks and prevent further damage. *Temporary repairs — a tarp or a quick patch to keep your interior dry and to buy time until we can provide a permanent solution. *Permanent repairs or replacement — scheduled in as capacity allows, we do it right the first time. This goes for every roof type — foam, tile, flat, metal, shingle, you name it. If last night left you with a leak, drip, soaked ceiling, or worse, don't wait for the next storm to do more damage. Call us and we'll get you taken care of as soon as possible! (602) 867-9386 | Renco Roofing

El Niño Update: NOAA's Climate Prediction Center released its July 9 ENSO update — and the El Niño signal has strengthened materially since last month. The key numbers from today's release are: * Weekly El Niño 3.4 index: +1.7°C (up from +0.7°C in the June 11 discussion) Persistence: 97% chance El Niño continues through spring 2027 (extended from winter) * Peak timing: Models now project highest intensity in September–November 2026 * Strength: 13 of 24 IRI ensemble models indicate a very strong event (Niño 3.4 ≥ +2.0°C) at peak For homeowners, commercial property owners, HOA boards, and facility managers in the Phoenix metropolitan area, three things stand out from this update: 1. The event is intensifying faster than forecast. The ocean is warming ahead of schedule, which raises the probability of a historically significant event by fall. 2. Peak intensity overlaps with late monsoon season. September–November is when Arizona transitions from summer storms to early winter precipitation — a compounding risk window for roofing systems. 3. The timeline now extends through spring 2027. Property managers planning capital budgets and reserve studies should factor in an extended wet cycle, not just a single season. Renco Roofing has been operating in the Phoenix market since 2004. We work with residential homeowners, HOA communities, property managers, and commercial clients across the metro. If you haven't had a pre-season assessment, monsoon season is already underway — reach out now. #CommercialRoofing #PropertyManagement #PhoenixRealEstate #ElNino #MonsoonSeason #FacilityManagement #HOA #RoofingIndustry #PhoenixAZ #RencoRoofing #ResidentialRoofing

Progressive Roofing has just changed owners for the third time in a year. Last week, QXO closed its $17B acquisition of TopBuild Corp. — the parent company of Progressive Roofing, one of Phoenix's largest commercial roofers. That's three ownership changes in about 12 months for a company managing roofs across the Valley: * Sept 2021: Bow River Capital invests * July 2025: Sold to TopBuild for $810M * July 2026: TopBuild absorbed into QXO's $17B roll-up Each of these transitions means new leadership, new priorities, and new questions about who's actually accountable when your warranty needs honoring or your maintenance contract needs a decision made. We're not knocking the companies involved — consolidation is just the reality of this industry right now. But if you're managing properties and evaluating roofing partners, it's worth asking: who owns this company, and will they still own it in 18 months? Renco Roofing has been independently, locally owned in Phoenix since 2004. We have the same ownership, same team, same accountability — not because we haven't had opportunities to sell, but because we think that stability is worth more to the people we work with than a bigger logo. #CommercialRoofing #PhoenixConstruction #PropertyManagement #FacilitiesManagement #HOARoofing #ResidentialRoofing

How is the war in Iran affecting building supplies, specifically in roofing? The Iran war began February 28 and by early March, Brent crude had surged more than 55% — from roughly $72 a barrel to nearly $120 at the peak, with the Strait of Hormuz (about 20% of global oil trade) disrupted for weeks. Markets have since pulled back from that peak, but the consensus among analysts is that oil settles at a new floor of $80–90 a barrel, without a return to pre-war pricing. That distinction matters enormously for roofing, specifically for spray polyurethane foam. SPF is roughly 60% petrochemical-derived — its core chemical inputs (MDI, polyol) are refined from oil feedstocks. A sustained crude price increase doesn't just nudge SPF costs, it flows through almost directly. Since the war began, we've tracked two confirmed waves of supplier price increases: Wave 1 (June 1–15): Polyglass (+15% on spray foam specifically), SRS Distribution (+6–10%), GAF/Owens Corning/CertainTeed (+6–10%). Wave 2 (June–July): A broader supplier cluster plus Weatherbond Roofing's commercial membrane increase effective July 1. For Phoenix, comparing February (pre-war) to today on a 2,000 sq ft home: Tile R&R Price Range: Previous Prices - $4.00/sq ft, New Prices - $4.75–4.85/sq ft (+$1,500–1,700) Foam Re-roof Price Range: Previous Prices - $6.00/sq ft, New Prices - $8.10–8.40/sq ft (+$4,200–4,800) The foam price delta is roughly 2.5x the tile price delta — a direct reflection of differential oil exposure between the two material categories. What I find most relevant for our industry and for you - this isn't a transitory shock. With oil expected to hold at a structurally higher floor, these aren't prices that snap back. Historically, material cost increases driven by geopolitical supply shocks tend to become the new baseline. At Renco Roofing, we've been family-owned in Phoenix since 2004 and we think tracking the actual macro drivers — not just the supplier letters — gives our customers better context for decision-making. We are curious whether others in the industry are seeing the oil-to-SPF pass-through hit as directly as the math suggests?

Twenty years in the Phoenix roofing market teaches you something: the storms people don't prepare for are the ones that cost the most. Last Thursday NOAA made it official — El Niño is confirmed and strengthening, with a 63% chance of a very strong event by winter that would rank among the largest in recorded history. The "Super El Niño" scenario that was speculative just weeks ago is now the working forecast with official advisory status behind it. At Renco Roofing, we've operated as a family-owned company in this market since 2004. We've roofed through strong monsoon seasons, back-to-back drought years, and everything in between. What we've learned is simple: the window between "we should probably look at that" and "we have a problem" closes fast when the rains arrive. If you own or manage properties in the Valley and haven't had a professional assessment this season, now is the time — before schedules fill and before the first storm becomes a claims conversation. We're not a PE-backed national rollup, we're a Phoenix company, and we'll still be here when the season is over.

Today's possibly historic El Niño update: NOAA's Climate Prediction Center issued an El Niño Advisory today, June 11 — confirming El Niño conditions are now present in the equatorial Pacific and expected to intensify into Northern Hemisphere winter 2026–27. The strength signal is very notable: NOAA now places a 63% probability on a very strong El Niño by November–January — a level that would rank among the largest events in the historical record since 1950. High confidence is tied to anomalously high oceanic heat content and expanding westerly wind anomalies across the equatorial Pacific. For residential property owners, commercial property owners, HOA boards, and facility managers in the Phoenix metro, this is operationally significant — not just a weather headline. Here's what it means in practical terms: * Monsoon season (June–Sept): NOAA's seasonal guidance now leans near to above normal precipitation for the Southwest, with a more pronounced wet signal for Arizona. Increased risk of wind-driven rain, drainage overflow, and ponding on flat/low-slope roofs. * Winter 2026–27: A very strong El Niño would be one of the most significant precipitation drivers Arizona has seen in decades. Back-to-back wet seasons would be highly unusual and would test roofing systems not built for sustained moisture stress. Here is what you can't see: Extended heat and UV exposure over recent summers has accelerated membrane degradation, sealant failure, and flashing separation across the Valley — often without visible signs until water intrusion begins. Renco Roofing has been operating in the Phoenix market since 2004. We work with residential homeowners, HOA communities, property managers, and commercial clients across the metro. Pre-season assessments are available now. We are happy to connect if you're thinking through your property's exposure heading into this season. #CommercialRoofing #PropertyManagement #PhoenixRealEstate #ElNino #MonsoonSeason #FacilityManagement #HOA #RoofingIndustry #PhoenixAZ #RencoRoofing #ResidentialRoofing

Why your roof underlayment has a tough time with Phoenix summers: On a 120°F Phoenix summer day — the kind of temperatures that are just around the corner — the underlayment beneath a tile roof is sitting at 155–170°F and under shingles it is at 150–165°F. That's not the surface temperature, it's the layer doing the actual waterproofing work, hidden between your roof deck and whatever's on top of it. Most people have no idea this is happening and most don't think about underlayment at all until water shows up inside their home. Here's what I've learned after 20+ years in the roofing business in Phoenix: *The surface of a roof almost never tells you the whole story *Tile can look perfect *Shingles can look intact However, the underlayment — especially older felt product installed before 2010–2015 — can already be dried out, cracked, and no longer doing its job. It was never rated for sustained exposure at these temperatures. Modern synthetic underlayments are engineered to resist heat up to 250°F. That's not just a luxury spec for Phoenix — that's a minimum requirement. We're only a couple weeks away from monsoon season and the wind-driven rain doesn't care how good your tile looks, it will eventually find the compromised underlayment. If you own a home in the Valley that's 10+ years old, or if you work with homeowners, property managers, or HOAs — this is the conversation that needs to take place before the storms hit, not after. At Renco Roofing, we've been having this conversation since 2004. What roofing issues are you seeing come up most in your market this summer? We are always interested in what other local pros are tracking. #PhoenixRoofing #ArizonaRealEstate #RoofMaintenance #HomeownerTips #MonsoonSeason #Renco #LocalBusiness #ResidentialRoofing #HOARoofing #PropertyManagers

Twenty years in the Phoenix roofing market teaches you something: the storms people don't prepare for are the ones that cost the most. This week, NOAA's El Niño probability jumped to 82–98% for this summer — up sharply from just a few weeks ago — with a 96% chance the pattern holds through winter 2026–27. The "Super El Niño" scenario that was speculative a month ago is now the working forecast. At Renco Roofing, we've operated as a family-owned company in this market since 2004. We've roofed through strong monsoon seasons, back-to-back drought years, and everything in between.

Monsoon Watch! NOAA's Climate Prediction Center just issued a significant update: El Niño is now likely to emerge imminently, with an 82% probability in May–July 2026 and a 96% probability of persisting through December 2026–February 2027. Independent climate forecasters at IRI put the near-term probability even higher — at 98%. The signal has strengthened materially in just the past two weeks. For homeowners, commercial property owners, HOA boards, and facility managers in the Phoenix metro, this is operationally relevant — not just a weather headline. Here's what it means in practical terms: * Monsoon season (June–Sept): Above-normal precipitation expected. Increased risk of wind-driven rain, drainage overflow, and ponding on flat/low-slope commercial roofs. * Winter 2026–27: With a 96% chance El Niño persists through winter, back-to-back wet seasons are a real planning scenario for the Valley — unusual for a region whose roofing infrastructure is built around dry conditions. The hidden risk: Extended heat and UV exposure over recent summers has accelerated membrane degradation, sealant failure, and flashing separation on many commercial and residential roofs across the Valley — often without visible signs until water intrusion begins. Renco Roofing has been operating in the Phoenix market since 2004. We work with homeowners, HOA communities, property managers, and commercial clients across the metro.
