Gilbert grew from a small farm town into one of the largest towns in the country in about three decades, and almost all of that growth was built with concrete tile roofs. Many of those roofs are now 15 to 30 years old. If you have a leak, storm damage or a tile roof that is due for attention, call or text (602) 339-9540.
Many locals call the area around SanTan Village and the Loop 202 Santan Freeway "San Tan." Those neighborhoods are in Gilbert, in Maricopa County, and well inside our core service area. The Town of San Tan Valley, our home base, sits about 15 miles southeast in Pinal County.
Gilbert roofs at a glance
Gilbert's neighborhoods were built in waves, from the late 1980s and 1990s in the north and central parts of town to the 2000s and 2010s farther south and east. Communities such as Val Vista Lakes, Power Ranch, Agritopia, Morrison Ranch, Seville and Val Vista Farms share a common building style:
- Concrete tile roofs on the vast majority of homes, in S-tile, flat and low-profile styles.
- Two-story homes with complex roof lines, many valleys and roof-to-wall transitions.
- Foam roofs over some patios and additions.
- HOAs with architectural guidelines in nearly every subdivision.
Common roof problems in Gilbert
Original underlayment past its prime
This is the big one. A Gilbert home built in the 1990s or early 2000s may still have its original felt underlayment, which Arizona roofers commonly expect to last roughly 8 to 20 years. Leaks during heavy storms, recurring leaks and brittle felt under lifted tiles all point to it. See tile underlayment replacement.
Leaks at valleys and wall transitions
Two-story homes have roof sections that meet walls, and lower roofs that collect water from upper ones. Worn step flashing, valley metal and kick-out flashing are frequent leak sources.
Cracked tiles from foot traffic
Solar installations, satellite dishes, pest control and holiday lighting all put feet on roofs. Cracked tiles expose the underlayment. See tile roof repair.
Storm damage
Monsoon microbursts can lift tiles and loosen ridge caps across entire neighborhoods. See storm damage roof repair.
Faded or discontinued tiles
On older roofs, some tile colors and profiles are no longer made. That affects repairs and HOA approvals. The roofer can source salvaged matches or discuss a new tile roof.
Gilbert HOAs and roof approvals
Nearly every Gilbert subdivision has an HOA. Repairs and underlayment replacements that reuse your existing tiles often do not need approval, though some HOAs ask to be notified. A new roof or a color change almost always requires approval. The roofer provides product names, colors and specs for your application.

Frequently asked questions
My Gilbert home is from the late 1990s. Do I need a new roof?
Probably not new tiles, but the underlayment is very likely at or past its expected life. An underlayment replacement reuses your tiles and is usually far less than a full new tile roof.
Do I need HOA approval for an underlayment replacement?
If you reuse the same tiles, many HOAs do not require approval, but some ask to be notified. Check your HOA's guidelines first.
Can you match discontinued tiles?
Often. The roofer can look for salvaged tiles or the closest current match. If enough tiles are damaged and no match exists, a new tile roof may be the better option.
