Tile roof replacement and repair in Gilbert, AZ.

The youngest housing stock in the metro — and a whole city of original underlayment arriving at the end of its life at once.

On the ground

Gilbert has the youngest housing stock of any city we serve. It went from a farm town of a few thousand to one of the largest municipalities in Arizona in about two decades, and the overwhelming majority of its homes were built between 1998 and 2012 — Power Ranch, Val Vista Lakes, Morrison Ranch, Seville, Agritopia, Higley Groves.

That creates a very specific local reality. Concrete tile is close to universal here, and the tile is fine. But roofs installed in 1999, 2002 and 2005 are now sitting at fifteen, twenty and twenty-five years on their original underlayment — which is exactly the window where Arizona underlayment gives out. Gilbert is, right now, the biggest tile re-underlayment market in the Valley, and most homeowners here have never had roof work done because the house has only ever had one roof.

Morrison Ranch and Agritopia add a wrinkle worth knowing: their heavily irrigated, tree-lined streets mean more organic debris in valleys than the surrounding desert subdivisions get, and debris in a valley is how a valley fails.

Questions from this city

Gilbert straight answers.

My house is only twenty years old. Can it really need a roof?

The tile does not, and it probably has decades left. The underlayment beneath it is the waterproofing, and in Arizona that layer typically runs roughly fifteen to twenty-five years depending on the system. Twenty-year-old Gilbert tile sits squarely in that window.

What exactly is a lift-and-re-lay?

We stack your tile off the roof, strip the old underlayment, repair the deck, install new underlayment and battens, then re-set your original tile course by course. You keep the exact roof you are looking at now, with a new waterproofing layer underneath it.

Can I just have the leaking section done?

If the failure is local — one valley, one flashing, a bad pipe boot — yes, and we will say so. But if the underlayment is brittle everywhere we lift it, a section repair is a payment on a bill that is coming anyway. You will see the photos either way.
