Mid-life roofs need maintenance, not replacement

An MLS listing shows a Fulton Homes house in Freeman Farms Phase 2 Parcel 2, built in 2010 with a tile roof. We haven't confirmed the full range of build years, but homes from that period are now about 16 years old.

At that age, a tile roof usually doesn't need replacing. What it needs is attention to the parts that wear first: cracked tiles, sealant around vents, and flashing. Fixing those small things keeps water away from the underlayment and helps it reach its full lifespan. Our repairs and maintenance page has more detail.

Birds and pests under tile

Freeman Farms has a lake and greenbelt, and open water and trees attract birds. Across the Valley, pigeons and other birds like to nest in the gaps under the first row of tile and beneath solar panels. Nests trap debris and moisture, and droppings are acidic and messy.

Bird stop, a closure strip at the eave, helps keep birds out of the open ends of tile. If you've seen birds going in and out at your roof edge, mention it when you call and we'll look at it during the inspection.

A yearly roof routine for Freeman Farms homes

A simple seasonal routine keeps a mid-life roof in good shape:

Early spring: look over the roof from the ground and clear gutters and valleys
Before June 15: get any repairs done ahead of monsoon season
During monsoon: check ceilings and the yard after big storms
Fall: trim back trees that grew toward the roof over the summer
Every few years: have a roofer inspect the tile, flashing and attic

Thinking about the next 10 years

Felt underlayment under tile usually lasts about 20–25 years here. For a 2010 home, that suggests the 2030s for a re-felt. When that time comes, a lift and relay replaces the underlayment while reusing your tiles, so your home keeps the same look.

Some homeowners like to budget for that ahead of time. Our roofing cost guide explains what goes into the price, and financing is available.

Working within the Freeman Farms HOA

Freeman Farms has an HOA. Most Gilbert HOAs care about how roofs look from the street, so color or style changes typically need approval. Repairs with matching tile usually don't raise questions, but it never hurts to check your CC&Rs.

If approval is needed, we'll give you the product information the association asks for.

Frequently asked questions

Still have a question? Call the office at 602-548-3770, Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm.

Who built Freeman Farms?

MLS listings identify Fulton Homes as the builder, and one listing mentions a former Fulton model home. Check your purchase documents to confirm your home's builder.

When were Freeman Farms homes built?

A listing in Phase 2 Parcel 2 was built in 2010. We haven't verified the full range, so check your home's records.

What should I do about birds nesting in my roof?

Have the roof edge checked for gaps under the first row of tile. Bird stop closures can help keep birds out, and nests should be removed so they don't trap moisture.

How often should I have my roof inspected?

Every few years for a mid-life tile roof, plus after any major storm. A quick look from the ground each spring is a good habit in between.

Is my Freeman Farms roof due for replacement?

Probably not if it's from around 2010 and has been maintained. The underlayment typically lasts 20–25 years, so most homes here have some time left.

Can a cracked tile cause a leak?

Yes, over time. A cracked tile exposes the underlayment to sun and rain, which speeds up wear. Replacing broken tiles promptly is one of the best ways to protect a tile roof.

Do I need HOA approval for repairs?

Usually not for repairs with matching tile, but check with the Freeman Farms HOA if you're unsure, and always before changing color or style.

Do you work on patio and flat roofs?

Yes. Alongside tile, we work on flat roofs, foam roofing and elastomeric coatings, which are common over patios and additions.
