Arizona Roofers is a licensed roofing contractor (ROC#356304 and ROC#356639) that repairs, re-roofs and inspects homes across the Town of Gilbert, with most of our Gilbert work on concrete tile roofs in HOA communities. We offer free on-roof inspections with photos and a written report, and you can reach us 24 hours a day.

Gilbert was a farm town of under 6,000 people in 1980. By 2000 it had passed 100,000, and from 1990 to 2003 it was the fastest-growing municipality in the country. Most of today’s roofs were installed during that rush, and a great many of them are now reaching the age when the underlayment beneath the tile gives out. Our crews drive in from our Phoenix headquarters; the full list of services is on our Arizona roofing services overview.

Roofing work we do in Gilbert

Tile roof repair in Gilbert

The Gilbert repair we see most: a few cracked or slipped concrete tiles, often from foot traffic during a solar or satellite install, and underneath them underlayment that has dried out and split. Water follows the batten down to the eave and shows up as a stain on a bedroom ceiling. We replace the broken tile, repair the underlayment section and photograph the fix. See roof repair and our guide to replacing broken roof tiles.

Lift-and-relay re-roofs for 1990s and 2000s homes

Because concrete tile usually outlives its underlayment, the most common Gilbert re-roof keeps the tile and replaces everything under it. The tile comes off and is stacked, new underlayment, battens and flashings go down, and the tile goes back on with matching replacements for any broken pieces. It keeps your HOA-approved look intact. When a full tear-off is the better call, we explain why. Read more on roof replacement.

New roofs on Gilbert additions and custom homes

Larger lots in parts of Gilbert, and older acreage properties left from its farming days, see custom homes, RV garages, workshops and casitas. We install tile, shingle and metal roofs to plan. See our roof installation service.

Inspections that check under the tile

A Gilbert tile roof can look perfect from the street with failing underlayment underneath. Our inspectors lift tiles in key areas such as valleys, eaves and around penetrations to see the real condition, and you get photos of what is under there. Learn about our roof inspections.

Solar and roofing together

Rooftop solar is common in Gilbert. If your underlayment is near the end of its life, it is usually smarter to re-roof before panels go on than to pay for removal and reinstall a few years later. Our article on replacing a roof with solar panels walks through the timing.

Hail and wind claims

East Valley monsoon storms can carry hail big enough to crack concrete tile. Compare what you see with our hail damage photos, then read whether insurance covers roof replacement in Arizona. We document damage and can meet your adjuster.

What shapes Gilbert roofs

Gilbert is flat, irrigated and mostly residential. The summer sun is relentless, and monsoon season, June 15 through September 30, brings wind, dust and the occasional hail cell across open ground. Roof problems here follow from when and how the town was built:

• Concrete tile everywhere. Production builders of the 1990s and 2000s used concrete tile on most homes, often with a basic felt underlayment. In desert sun, that felt typically lasts around 20 to 25 years. Our concrete tile maintenance guide covers what owners can watch for.
• Two-storey homes with complex roofs. Many Gilbert plans combine several hips, valleys and wall intersections, and each one is a place for water to get in when flashing ages.
• Hot attics. Poor ventilation shortens underlayment and shingle life. See venting the attic.
• Older roofs in the Heritage District. The town’s original core has older homes with shingle and low-slope roofs that age differently from the subdivisions around them.

Town of Gilbert permits and HOA rules

Gilbert is still officially a town, and roofing permits come from the Town of Gilbert. We pull permits wherever the town requires them, and county islands inside its borders fall under Maricopa County.

Most Gilbert neighborhoods have an HOA with an architectural committee, and many require approval of tile colour and profile even when you are only replacing what is there. We prepare the submittal, including samples and manufacturer data, and schedule work once approval is in writing. The tile roofing options we install include profiles that match most Gilbert community standards.

Planning a re-roof in a Gilbert HOA: what to expect

1. Inspection with lifted tile. We confirm whether the underlayment, not just the tile, is the problem.
2. Options in writing. Repair, lift and relay, or new roof, each with a scope and price.
3. HOA package. We assemble the approval request for you to submit to your association.
4. Town permit and scheduling. We handle the Town of Gilbert permit if needed and book the work around HOA hours and any solar removal.
5. Work and wrap-up. Clean site daily, a final photo set and your warranty documents.

Any roofer you consider should hold an active R-42, C-42 or CR-42 licence. You can confirm it in a minute at roc.az.gov.

Roof cost planning for Gilbert homeowners

Reusing your existing tile usually keeps a re-roof well below the cost of new tile, while two-storey plans, steep pitches and solar removal add to it. Our Arizona roof replacement pricing guide explains the factors, the roof cost calculator gives a planning range, and roof financing is available.
