Past the 25-year line
An MLS listing shows a 1999 Beazer home in Gateway Ranch with a tile roof. A roof from that year has about 27 years on its underlayment, beyond the 20–25 year range where felt usually starts to fail in our climate.
We haven't confirmed the full range of build years in the community, so check your own home's age. If it's from the late 1990s and the roof is original, an inspection belongs near the top of your home maintenance list.
What a lift and relay looks like on your home
Most tile roofs in Gateway Ranch won't need new tile, just new waterproofing underneath. In a lift and relay, we remove the tiles, replace the old underlayment and worn flashing, repair any damaged decking, and reinstall the tiles. Broken tiles get swapped for the closest match available.
The house looks about the same afterward, which keeps HOA review simple. The difference is a fresh waterproofing layer good for many years. See our tile roof page for more.
Room to work: RV gates and big lots
Some homes in Gateway Ranch have larger lots with RV gates. That's handy during a re-roof, because there's more room to stage tiles, park a trailer for old materials and keep the driveway clear.
On smaller lots we'll plan staging with you ahead of time. Either way, we'll cover where materials go, how we'll protect landscaping, and how cleanup will work before any tiles come off.
Small problems that become big on older roofs
On a 27-year-old roof, small problems tend to stack up. Here's what roofs of this age commonly show:
- Pipe boots and vent flashing cracked by years of UV
- Valleys clogged with leaves, holding water against old felt
- Ridge mortar cracked and loose
- Tiles broken by satellite, solar or HVAC work over the years
- Stains on ceilings near exterior walls or around skylights
Before the next monsoon
Monsoon storms between June 15 and September 30 are hardest on older roofs. Heavy rain finds any gap in worn underlayment, and wind can lift tiles that are no longer seated well. Plan underlayment work for fall, winter or spring when you can.
If a storm does cause damage, our storm damage repair team can fix it and tell you whether the rest of the roof is close to needing more.

Frequently asked questions
Still have a question? Call the office at 602-548-3770, Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm.
Who built Gateway Ranch?
An MLS listing names Beazer Homes as the builder of a 1999 home in Gateway Ranch. Check your closing documents for your home's builder.
How old are Gateway Ranch roofs?
The listing we reviewed was built in 1999, so an original roof from that time is about 27 years old.
Do I need new tiles or just new underlayment?
Most often just new underlayment. Concrete tile usually outlasts the felt beneath it, so a lift and relay that reuses your tiles is common for homes this age.
Does Gateway Ranch have an HOA?
Yes, the Gateway Ranch HOA. Ask them whether roof work needs approval, especially if you're changing color or tile style.
Can you use my RV gate for access?
If your home has one, it can make material staging easier. We'll plan access with you before the job starts.
How long does a lift and relay last?
New underlayment can serve for many years, and synthetic options are designed to outlast traditional felt. We'll explain the choices with your estimate.
What causes ceiling stains near my walls?
Often it's flashing at a wall or a worn eave area where water runs off the roof. It can also be condensation or a plumbing issue, so we trace the source before recommending a fix.
Should I fix a leak or replace the whole underlayment?
If the roof is original and around 27 years old, one leak can be a sign of wider wear. We'll tell you honestly whether a spot repair makes sense or whether the underlayment is due.
When can I call?
Call 602-548-3770 Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm. We're closed on weekends.
Is a Gateway Ranch re-roof eligible for financing?
Yes. Financing is available, and we can go over it when we review your estimate together.
