The short answer
Integrity Roofing replaces worn tile underlayment, repairs leaks and handles full re-roofs in Clemente Ranch, the Shea Homes subdivision in west Chandler's 85286 ZIP. Homes date from the mid-1990s, so original underlayment is likely at or past the end of its life, and an inspection is the best way to choose between a lift and relay and a full replacement.

Thirty years on a Shea Homes tile roof
Listings in Clemente Ranch show Shea Homes houses built in 1995 and 1997, both with tile roofs. That's roughly three decades of Chandler summers for any roof that hasn't been replaced.
Tile is durable, and many of those original tiles may still be fine. The underlayment is a different story. Felt underlayment usually lasts about 20–25 years in Arizona, so on a 30-year-old roof it is likely dried out, cracked or already letting water through in places. Homes of this era in Chandler are where we most often recommend underlayment replacement.
Our approach on mid-1990s roofs
- Inspect: We check the tile, flashing and penetrations, then lift tiles at several points to see the underlayment and deck.
- Explain: We tell you plainly whether the tile can be reused or whether too much of it is cracked or brittle.
- Recommend: Usually a lift and relay if the tile is good, or a full replacement if it isn't.
- Estimate: You get a written estimate with the scope spelled out.

Signs the underlayment is giving out
On homes this age, leaks often show up first after the season's first heavy rain. You may see a stain spreading on a ceiling, bubbling paint at the top of a wall or water dripping from a light fixture. In the attic, look for dark spots on the underside of the roof deck or daylight around penetrations.
Don't wait for a second storm. Water that sits on decking can cause rot that turns a re-felt into a bigger job.
Greenbelts, trees and roof debris
Clemente Ranch has greenbelts, a community park with basketball, volleyball, a playground and ramadas, and walking and biking paths. Mature trees near homes are part of what makes older neighborhoods like this pleasant, but leaves and seed pods collect in roof valleys and behind chimneys.
Debris holds water against the underlayment and slows drainage. Keeping valleys clear, and trimming branches back from the roofline, helps an aging roof last until you're ready for bigger work.
Planning your re-roof with the HOA
Clemente Ranch has an HOA covering multiple parcels. A lift and relay that reuses your existing tile keeps the same look. If you're switching to new tile, ask the association whether it needs to approve the color and profile. We're happy to provide product details for your request.
Every roof is different, so cost depends on size, pitch and how much tile can be reused. Our Roofing Cost Guide covers the main factors. Financing is available; ask about it during your estimate.

Does a 30-year-old tile roof need replacing?
The tile may be fine, but the felt underlayment beneath it is likely past its typical 20–25 year life. Many homes this age need underlayment replacement, and some need a full re-roof.
What is a lift and relay?
It's a repair where we remove the tile, replace the underlayment and flashing, and put the original tile back. It's a common choice for mid-1990s tile roofs in good condition.
How do I know if I need a full replacement instead?
If many tiles are cracked, brittle or no longer available to match, or the deck has significant water damage, a full replacement may make more sense. An inspection will show which applies.
