We’ve been climbing Gilbert roofs since the early 1990s, back when the town was transitioning from agricultural acreage to the master-planned communities that now define it. That history matters. We know which batch of homes got 30-lb felt underlayment that’s now failing silently, and we know how to fix it - whether through targeted Gilbert Roof Repair or full replacement - without the multiple trips that leave homeowners waiting through another monsoon season.

Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Gilbert
Full Roof Replacement
Gilbert’s explosive growth from roughly 1993-2008 created an enormous cohort of homes across Power Ranch, Val Vista Lakes, and the Higley Corridor whose concrete tile roofs are now hitting the 20-30 year mark. The tiles themselves are nearly indestructible, but the 30-lb felt underlayment installed beneath them during that building boom is now cracking and failing silently. We recently replaced the full roof on a property in Power Ranch where the concrete tile looked flawless from the street, but the 30-lb felt underlayment had turned to chalk. After a monsoon microburst caused a ceiling stain in the master bath, our crew lifted the tiles, replaced the failing felt with GAF Deck-Armor, and installed new foam-set mortar - all in one trip, with zero callbacks. That’s the standard we hold for every Roof Replacement & Installation job in Gilbert.
New Construction Roofing
For new builds in Gilbert’s developing acreage properties east of Higley, we spec roofs that account for the Valley’s punishing UV exposure and monsoon microbursts. Complex hip-and-valley rooflines common in large stucco tract homes create numerous valley and flashing points that demand precise installation. We don’t substitute materials. We install exactly what we specify - GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning systems matched to your architectural plans and Gilbert’s amended building codes.
Asphalt Shingle Installation
While concrete tile dominates Gilbert’s established neighborhoods, asphalt shingles remain popular for detached workshops, guest casitas, and budget-conscious reroofs in communities like Trilogy at Power Ranch. We install architectural and three-tab shingles from GAF and Owens Corning with proper ventilation systems rated for 110°F-plus attic temperatures. Shingle roofs in Gilbert fail faster if ventilation is skimped - we don’t skimp.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is gaining traction in Gilbert’s newer custom builds and acreage properties for its reflectivity and monsoon resilience, often paired with Gutters & Accessories - Gilbert systems for full water management. We install standing-seam and concealed-fastener systems that won’t loosen under haboob wind loads. Metal makes particular sense for detached workshops with oversized door openings where standard roofing details don’t apply.
Tile Roofing
Tile is Gilbert’s native roofing language. We handle both S-tile and flat tile systems, with particular expertise in the underlayment replacement wave that’s the dominant roofing story in Gilbert right now. Our crews know how to lift tile without breakage, replace degraded felt with modern synthetic underlayment, and remix foam-set mortar to match existing color - critical when UV-brittled original mortar crumbles during removal. This is far more concentrated in Gilbert than in older, more gradually developed East Valley cities.
Flat Roofing
Flat and low-slope sections on Gilbert’s multi-plane rooflines - over patios, porte-cocheres, and modern architectural elements - require membrane systems that can handle ponding during monsoon downpours and thermal cycling from 110°F days to 70°F nights. We install TPO and modified bitumen systems with proper drainage detailing, not rolled-on shortcuts that fail at the seams.

Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Gilbert Homes
- Underlayment failure hidden under perfect tile. Gilbert’s concrete tiles can look showroom-perfect for 50 years while the felt beneath them turns to dust. Monsoon microbursts then force water through gaps that didn’t exist three months prior. We find this constantly in Power Ranch and Val Vista Lakes homes built 1998-2005.
- UV-brittled foam-set mortar crumbling during tile removal. Gilbert’s 300-plus sunny days per year bake the mortar bed that holds flat tile in place. When we lift tiles for underlayment replacement, the mortar often disintegrates. We remix on-site to match original color - a step many roofers skip, leaving mismatched patches visible from the street.
- Complex hip-and-valley rooflines creating hidden leak paths. The large stucco tract homes built during Gilbert’s boom years feature multi-plane designs with numerous valleys. When underlayment degrades, these valleys become water highways during July microbursts, with damage often confined to interior ceiling corners far from the actual entry point.
- Detached workshops with roofing details that standard crews mishandle. In Gilbert’s acreage properties east of Higley, detached workshops with oversized openings and non-standard roof pitches require flashing details and structural considerations that typical residential roofers haven’t encountered. We’ve been handling these since the properties were built.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Gilbert
Your concrete tiles are likely fine - the 30-lb felt underlayment beneath them has failed. Gilbert’s 1993-2008 building boom installed millions of square feet of this felt, and it’s now reaching end of life. The tiles themselves can last 50 years, but felt cracks under UV exposure and thermal cycling long before that. Water enters through gaps in the felt during monsoon microbursts, runs down the roof deck, and exits at the nearest weak point - often far from where it entered. We inspect by lifting tiles in suspect areas and photograph the felt condition so you can see it yourself. Call (844) 563-1816 to schedule - estimates are free, and we answer live 24/7.
Yes - standard residential openers will strip their gears within a year on oversized doors common in Gilbert acreage properties. These doors require heavy-duty torsion springs and openers rated for higher cycle counts and greater door weights. We stock LiftMaster and Genie commercial-duty units with the proper horsepower and rail extensions for wide or tall workshop doors. One trip, proper spec, no callbacks. Call (844) 563-1816 to discuss your door dimensions.
Original 30-lb felt underlayment in Gilbert’s 1993-2008 housing stock typically lasts 20-25 years. With Gilbert’s UV index and thermal cycling, we recommend inspection at year 20 and proactive replacement by year 25 - before monsoon season finds the weak spots. Modern synthetic underlayments like GAF Deck-Armor carry 30-year warranties and handle our climate far better. Waiting for a ceiling stain means water has already compromised insulation and possibly decking. Call (844) 563-1816 for an inspection - we’ll show you photos of your actual underlayment condition.
We remix foam-set mortar on-site to match your existing color. Gilbert’s UV exposure bleaches original mortar unevenly, so factory-mixed bags rarely blend. Our crews carry color-matching kits and tint mortar until it disappears against your weathered tile. This is standard on our tile reset jobs - not an upsell. Call (844) 563-1816 to schedule.
No - we spec and stock for one-trip completion on standard Gilbert roof replacements. The exception is if we discover degraded decking once we open the roof, but we inspect thoroughly upfront to minimize this. For tile underlayment replacement, we bring enough tile, underlayment, mortar, and fasteners to complete the job without a supply run. Our Power Ranch job - full underlayment replacement, new Deck-Armor, mortar reset - finished in one day with zero callbacks. That’s our standard. Call (844) 563-1816 to book your Gilbert roof replacement.
