Sun Lakes is an active-adult community just south of Chandler, developed by Ed Robson beginning in the 1970s. Its first single-family homes sold in 1976, and by the time it sold out in 2005 it had roughly 10,000 homes across several country club communities. With five decades of construction, Sun Lakes has nearly every roof age and type. For a repair, re-roof or coating, call or text (602) 339-9540.

Common roof problems in Sun Lakes
Roofs due for a second or third replacement
Older homes may be on their second roof, and some of those are now aging out too. See roof replacement and tile underlayment replacement.
Flat and foam sections
Arizona rooms and patios with foam or flat roofs need recoating on schedule. The joint where they meet the main roof is a frequent leak point. See foam and flat roof repair.
Discontinued tile
Tiles from the 1980s and 1990s may not be available anymore. The roofer can look for salvaged matches or discuss a new roof.
Seasonal residents and unnoticed leaks
Homes left empty during summer can develop leaks no one sees until fall. A pre-departure free inspection helps prevent surprises.
A clear, respectful process
We keep things simple and transparent for Sun Lakes homeowners:
- Written estimates before any work is scheduled
- Photos of the problem and the finished work, easy to share with family
- Flexible coordination with neighbors or property managers when you are away
- No pressure. If a repair will do, that is what we recommend.
Community guidelines
Each Sun Lakes country club community has its own guidelines for roof colors and materials. Check them before a replacement; the roofer can provide product details.

Frequently asked questions
Is Sun Lakes part of Chandler?
No. Sun Lakes is a separate unincorporated community in Maricopa County, just south of Chandler. We serve both.
Can you handle repairs while I'm away for the summer?
Yes. We coordinate access with a neighbor or property manager and send photos and estimates by text for your approval.
My Arizona room roof leaks where it meets the house. Can you fix it?
Yes. That joint is a very common leak point and needs proper flashing and sealing, not just more coating.
