Scottsdale's Own Robert Lunny Shares Expert Roofing Insights

Scottsdale's unique climate presents distinct challenges for homeowners, especially when it comes to maintaining a durable and efficient roof.

 

We sat down with Robert Lunny, President of Kore Roofing, to discuss essential roofing insights tailored for our community.

 

What led you to establish Kore Roofing?

 

"After facing numerous challenges with contractors who lacked communication and reliability, my partners and I decided to create a company that embodies trust and quality," Lunny explains.

 

How would you describe Kore Roofing in three words?

 

"Skilled, caring, and honest."

 

What advice do you have for homeowners dealing with storm or leak damage?

 

"Act promptly, document all damages, and consult your insurance broker about your coverage," Lunny advises.

 

He also suggests checking for existing warranties from builders or previous roofers, as many homeowners might already have protection in place.

 

What's a common roofing mistake homeowners should avoid?

 

"Returning to the same contractor who caused the initial problem is a significant error," Lunny notes.

 

He emphasizes the importance of choosing a reputable, licensed roofer who stands behind their work and offers a genuine warranty.

 

If a roof isn't leaking, does that mean it's in good condition?

 

"Not necessarily," Lunny cautions.

 

"A roof can fail long before water shows up. Leaks are usually the last symptom, not the first."

 

Do you have a preferred roofing material for Scottsdale homes?

 

"Tile and foam roofs are excellent choices for handling Arizona's heat and enhancing energy efficiency," Lunny recommends.

 

Any memorable experiences during roof repairs?

 

"We've encountered everything from massive beehives to multiple layers of shingles during re-roofs," Lunny shares.

 

"Nothing surprises us anymore!"

 

Are there any upcoming innovations in roofing we should be aware of?

 

"Advancements like better underlayments, reflective coatings, and stronger materials are on the horizon," Lunny mentions.

 

"Additionally, technology that standardizes our roofing phases will offer customers a detailed insight into their roof's construction."

 

When you're not working, where can we find you?

 

"Watching sports with my kids or cooking for my family," Lunny says.

 

Favorite spots around Scottsdale?

 

"Old Town for its great food spots, energy, and history," Lunny shares.
