Gilbert's tile roofs are hitting the age where the underlayment fails long before the tile does. That's the job we do most here.
Gilbert grew up fast. The median Gilbert home was built in 2003 — the newest housing stock of any major East Valley city outside Queen Creek — which means most of the town went up during a concrete tile boom that ran from the late 1990s through the housing crash.
That timing matters more than most homeowners realize. Concrete tile itself lasts 40 to 50 years, but the underlayment beneath it — the membrane that actually keeps water out of your house — only lasts about 20 to 25 years in Arizona heat. A Gilbert roof built in 2003 is sitting right in the middle of that failure window, even though the tile on top still looks essentially new from the street.
So the most common call we get in Gilbert isn't a roof replacement at all. It's a tile lift-and-relay: we carefully remove and stack your existing tile, replace the failed underlayment and any damaged decking underneath, then re-lay the same tile back down. It costs a fraction of a full replacement and buys another two decades.
No obligation. We typically respond within one business hour.
If your neighborhood isn't listed, we almost certainly still serve it — just ask.
As a residential roofing company built for the Valley's climate and HOA communities, we help homeowners repair, maintain, and replace roofs with materials suited to Arizona heat.

Tile is a rain shield with a 40-50 year life; the underlayment below it is the actual waterproofing layer and it only lasts about 20-25 years here. On a typical Gilbert home built in the early 2000s, the tile has decades left and the underlayment is at or past the end of its service life. The first symptom is usually a ceiling stain after a heavy monsoon, by which point water has already been getting into the decking for a while.
Industry pricing in the Phoenix metro generally runs from about $5,000 to $12,000 and up, driven mostly by roof size, roof pitch, and how much decking underneath turns out to be damaged. It is substantially cheaper than a full tile replacement because your existing tile is reused. We give you a written, itemized number after inspecting the roof, and we tell you if you don't need the work yet.
Yes. Gilbert has a high concentration of HOA communities with specific approved tile profiles and colors, and matching them is routine for us. In a lift-and-relay your original tile goes back on, so the match is exact by definition — we only source replacement tile for the pieces that broke.
A residential lift-and-relay typically runs three to seven days: a day or two to remove and stack tile, a day to inspect and repair decking, a day or two for new underlayment, then two to three days to re-lay the tile. Your roof is never left open overnight without protection.
