With only 12" of rain per year in Tucson, moisture-related wear is less of a concern than UV and heat exposure — material durability under sun, not water damage, is the bigger factor.

Lighter-colored or reflective materials — metal roofing in particular — hold up better than dark asphalt under Tucson's sustained heat, since dark asphalt absorbs more heat and tends to degrade faster under intense UV exposure, and metal here typically lasts 40-70 years versus asphalt's 20-25 (shorter in extreme heat/UV areas).
Yes — Arizona requires roofing contractors to hold a valid license through Arizona Registrar of Contractors. Always verify a contractor's license status directly with Arizona Registrar of Contractors before hiring, not just by taking their word for it.
