Ahwatukee Foothills is a village of the City of Phoenix, tucked between South Mountain, Interstate 10 and the Gila River Indian Community, with more than 80,000 residents. Development began in the early 1970s, when Presley Development opened its first model homes, and continued through the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. Its signature look is stucco homes with red tile roofs, and many of those roofs are now due for major work. Call or text (602) 339-9540.

Common roof problems in Ahwatukee
Underlayment past its life
Homes from the 1970s through the 1990s with original underlayment are long past its expected life in Arizona, and many re-felted roofs are due again. See tile underlayment replacement.
Discontinued red tile
Older tile colors and profiles may no longer be made. When damage is widespread, a new tile roof may be the better answer.
Storms off South Mountain
Monsoon storms can build fast along South Mountain and hit foothill neighborhoods hard. See storm damage roof repair.
Flat roofs in older sections
Some early Ahwatukee homes and additions have flat or low-slope sections that need recoating. See roof coatings.
HOA approval
Most Ahwatukee neighborhoods have HOAs with roofing guidelines, especially on tile color. Underlayment replacements that reuse your tiles usually do not change the look; new roofs and color changes need approval. The roofer can provide product details.
