Early 2000s roofs: where Gilbert Commons stands now
An MLS listing for Gilbert Commons Unit 1 shows a home built in 2002 by Continental Homes with a tile roof. That home had a new roof installed in 2024, at roughly 22 years old. That's right on schedule for a Valley tile roof, because the underlayment beneath the tile usually lasts about 20–25 years.
We don't have a confirmed build range for the whole community, so check your own home's year built. If it's from the early 2000s and the roof has never been redone, it's a good time to have someone look under the tiles.
Your HOA dues and your roof
Listings describe the Legacy at Gilbert Commons HOA dues as covering grounds and street maintenance. Roofs aren't part of that description, so for a single-family home here, roof upkeep generally falls to you. Read your CC&Rs to be sure.
Associations commonly want to approve any change in tile color or style so the streetscape stays consistent. If you're keeping the same tile, the process is usually simpler, but ask the HOA before work starts.
Repair, re-felt or replace?
There are three main paths for an aging tile roof. We'll tell you which fits after we've been on your roof, and we'll share photos of what we found. You can also read about roof repair and maintenance and roof replacement.
- Repair: best for a single leak, a few cracked tiles or one failed flashing on an otherwise healthy roof
- Re-felt (lift and relay): best when tiles are in good shape but the underlayment is worn out, common around the 20-year mark
- Full replacement: best when many tiles are damaged, the deck has rot, or you want a new look
Heat, UV and attic temperatures
Gilbert summers routinely top 110 degrees, and roof surfaces get far hotter than the air. That heat is what slowly dries out underlayment and sealants. A well-ventilated attic helps by letting hot air escape instead of cooking the roof deck from below.
During an inspection, we look at your attic vents as well as the roof surface. Blocked or undersized ventilation can shorten a roof's life and raise cooling bills, and it's often easy to improve during a re-roof.
Patio covers and other add-ons
Gilbert Commons listings highlight parks, a playground and walking paths, and plenty of homes here have spent two decades adding backyard upgrades. Patio covers added after the home was built sometimes have a low-slope or flat roof that needs different care from the main tile roof.
Flat sections can be protected with a reflective elastomeric coating or, in some cases, spray foam. If your patio roof is ponding water or the coating is peeling, we can check it during the same visit.

Frequently asked questions
Still have a question? Call the office at 602-548-3770, Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm.
Who built Gilbert Commons?
An MLS listing for Gilbert Commons Unit 1 names Continental Homes as the builder. If you're not sure about your home, your original purchase paperwork will say.
When were Gilbert Commons homes built?
The listing we reviewed was built in 2002. We haven't confirmed the full range of build years, so check your home's records for its exact year.
Does the Gilbert Commons HOA maintain roofs?
Listings describe the HOA dues as covering grounds and street maintenance, not roofs. Confirm with your CC&Rs, but in most single-family HOAs the homeowner handles the roof.
My neighbor just got a new roof. Should I?
Not automatically, but it's a sign to check yours. Homes of the same age and builder tend to wear at similar rates, so an inspection will show whether your underlayment is in similar condition.
How long does tile underlayment last in Arizona?
Traditional felt underlayment usually lasts about 20–25 years under tile in our climate. Newer synthetic underlayments are made to last longer, and we can compare options during your estimate.
Can you repair my flat patio roof too?
Yes. We work on flat roofs, foam roofs and elastomeric coatings as well as tile, so we can handle both in one visit.
Is Gilbert Commons in Chandler or Gilbert?
The Gilbert Commons subdivision on this page is in Gilbert, ZIP 85295. Some real estate sites group a few Chandler properties under a similar name, so check the ZIP code on your home.
Will new roofing change how my home looks?
Not if you reuse your tiles or choose a matching tile. If you want a new color or profile, your HOA will likely need to approve it first.
How do I schedule an inspection?
Call 602-548-3770 between 7 am and 5 pm on weekdays. We'll set a time to come out, inspect the roof and walk you through what we found.
Let's take a look at your roof.
