Specialty Roofing in Las Vegas, NV

Specialty Roofing in Las Vegas, NV

Pull up satellite imagery of any Summerlin or North Las Vegas subdivision built between 1992 and 2005 and you’ll see row after row of concrete barrel tile that looks perfectly fine. Santos Cruz has been pulling those tiles up for 22 years, and what’s underneath tells a completely different story — underlayment literally powdered by 110°F summers and 294 days of unfiltered desert UV. That hidden failure is what drives most of the specialty roofing calls we get in Las Vegas. If your roof is approaching the 18–25 year mark, the substrate is almost certainly further along than the surface suggests.

Why All Star Roofing Company Las Vegas Is Las Vegas’s Preferred Specialty Roofing Company

Our Specialty Roofing team has been working Las Vegas roofs through every market cycle since 2003 — the tail end of the building boom, the post-recession slowdown, and now the massive age-cohort re-roofing wave that’s reshaping the local market. Nearly 120 Las Vegas homeowners have left us a 4.9-star average across 118 verified reviews, not because we promised the lowest number, but because Santos Cruz shows up to every job himself and doesn’t hand the work off to a crew he hasn’t trained personally.

When you call All Star Roofing Company about specialty work on your Las Vegas home or commercial property, you’re scheduling time with the same person who’s going to be on your roof. Santos handles the diagnostic, the material spec, and the installation — that’s what 22 years of continuous field work looks like in practice. For homeowners along the 215 Beltway corridor in Summerlin South or out in Sunrise Manor who’ve dealt with rotating sub-crews from bigger outfits, that distinction matters.

Our Specialty Roofing Services in Las Vegas

Solar Ready Roofing

Las Vegas’s 294+ annual sunny days make it one of the highest-performing solar markets in the country, and that’s driven a sharp rise in solar-ready roof preparations across Henderson, Summerlin, and North Las Vegas. A solar-ready system means reinforced decking, properly rated underlayment, and penetration points that won’t compromise the membrane the moment panels are mounted. We spec solar-ready builds using materials from GAF and CertainTeed rated for extreme UV exposure — because installing a solar array over a failing substrate is one of the more expensive mistakes a Las Vegas homeowner can make. In Las Vegas, a solar-ready roof preparation typically runs $3,500–$8,500 depending on roof size and existing deck condition.

TPO Roofing

Thermoplastic polyolefin is the go-to membrane for Las Vegas’s commercial strip centers along Sahara Avenue and Flamingo Road, and increasingly for residential flat additions and casitas in older central Las Vegas neighborhoods. TPO’s heat-reflective white surface is genuinely well-suited to a city that sees sustained ambient temperatures above 105°F for weeks at a stretch — it reduces rooftop surface temps meaningfully and cuts cooling loads in buildings with heavy HVAC equipment. We install TPO using materials from Atlas and Owens Corning, with heat-welded seams that handle the extreme thermal cycling Las Vegas dishes out every summer. TPO roofing in Las Vegas typically runs $5.50–$9.00 per square foot installed, with commercial-scale projects generally landing at the lower end per foot.

EPDM Roofing

EPDM rubber membranes have a long track record on Las Vegas flat roofs, particularly on older hotel-adjacent properties and mid-century commercial buildings near the downtown corridor. The material handles UV exposure and ozone degradation well, and a properly adhered EPDM system can perform for 20-plus years even under Las Vegas’s diurnal temperature swings — which routinely run 35–40°F between a summer afternoon and the same night. What EPDM doesn’t forgive is poor seaming or inadequate drainage design on roofs that weren’t built with the monsoon’s burst rainfall in mind. We address both the membrane and the drainage geometry on every EPDM installation. EPDM in Las Vegas runs $4.50–$8.00 per square foot installed.

Modified Bitumen

Modified bitumen is still the right call for a significant slice of Las Vegas’s low-slope residential market — particularly on the flat garage roofs and covered patios that are nearly universal on the stucco tract homes built through Rhodes Ranch, North Las Vegas, and the older Green Valley sections of Henderson. Torch-down and cold-applied modified bitumen systems handle the thermal expansion that cracks and blisters lesser membranes, and they’re repairable in sections without a full tear-off if the substrate is still sound. Santos has spec’d and installed modified bitumen on hundreds of Las Vegas properties over 22 years and can tell within a visual inspection whether a repair will hold or whether the membrane has reached the end of its useful cycle. Modified bitumen in Las Vegas typically runs $3.50–$6.50 per square foot installed.

Green Roof Systems

Green roof installations remain a niche in Las Vegas but are gaining traction on commercial properties and high-end custom homes where owners want both thermal performance and stormwater management credits under Clark County’s evolving green building guidelines. The desert context actually demands more engineering precision than a temperate-climate green roof — irrigation requirements, membrane protection layers, and root barrier specs all need to account for the UV and heat loads that would degrade a standard installation within a few seasons. Green roof systems in Las Vegas start at $18–$30 per square foot for full build-outs.

Built-Up Roofing (BUR)

Built-up roofing — multiple plies of reinforcing felt mopped with bitumen and finished with a gravel or cap sheet surface — remains a legitimate option for large flat-roof commercial properties in Las Vegas where longevity and redundancy justify the installation cost. Many of the casino properties and older retail centers along the major corridors were originally built with BUR systems, and Santos has handled repairs and full replacements on these substrates. BUR in Las Vegas runs $4.00–$7.50 per square foot installed depending on ply count and surface finish.

Trusted Brands We Service in Las Vegas

All Star Roofing works with seven major manufacturer lines — GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral — and that range exists deliberately. Las Vegas’s mix of residential tile re-roofing, flat commercial membrane work, and solar-prep installations demands different material profiles, and we’re not going to spec a product because it happens to be what’s on the truck. When Santos recommends a membrane or underlayment for your Las Vegas property, it’s because that specific material matches your roof geometry, sun exposure, and drainage conditions — not because it was the only option available.

Common Specialty Roofing Problems We See in Las Vegas Homes

• Powdered underlayment beneath intact concrete tile: This is the defining roofing problem in Las Vegas right now. Homes built across Summerlin and North Las Vegas in the 1990s used 15-lb felt underlayment that Las Vegas’s UV and heat have desiccated into dust — the tiles look fine from the curb, but the water barrier underneath has been gone for years.
• Monsoon-exposed flat roof membrane failures: Las Vegas receives only about 4 inches of rain annually, but July through September’s monsoon drops that rain in short, intense bursts that overwhelm flat roofs with inadequate drainage. Seams and field membranes that survived years of dry weather fail suddenly under the first real water load of the season.
• TPO and EPDM seam separation from thermal cycling: The 35–40°F swings between Las Vegas’s daytime highs and nighttime lows cause membrane materials to expand and contract repeatedly. Improperly welded or adhered seams eventually open — and in a city that rarely rains, the breach often goes unnoticed until interior damage is already done.
• Solar panel penetration leaks on aging residential roofs: As Las Vegas homeowners retrofit solar arrays onto roofs built in the 1990s and early 2000s, penetration points through deteriorated underlayment create direct water pathways. We regularly see this on homes along the US-95 corridor in Sunrise Manor where panel installations were done without addressing the underlying substrate condition first.
