What we see on late-1990s tile roofs
Gilbert Ranch homes went up around 1998–1999, and an MLS listing identifies Continental Homes as a builder here, with a tile roof. Tile was a smart choice for this climate, but the felt underneath is a different story. After 25-plus summers, it tends to dry out, crack and lose its ability to shed the water that slips past the tiles.
A roof can look fine from the sidewalk while the underlayment is quietly failing. That's why we suggest an inspection for any Gilbert Ranch home that still has its original roof, even if nothing is leaking yet.
How a lift and relay works
A lift and relay is the most common fix for a tile roof of this age. Here's what happens, step by step:
- We remove the tiles and stack them safely on the roof or in the yard.
- We tear off the old underlayment and check the wood deck for damage.
- We install new underlayment, plus new flashing and vent jacks where needed.
- We reset the tiles, swapping in replacements for any that are cracked.
The result is essentially a new waterproofing system under your existing tile. Learn more on our tile roofs page.
Townhomes and shared roof lines
Descriptions of Gilbert Ranch mention some townhomes alongside the single-family houses. If you share a roof line with a neighbor, your roof connects to theirs, and water doesn't respect property lines. Before re-roofing, find out from your HOA documents who is responsible for which part.
When neighbors re-roof at the same time, the seam between units can be handled as one continuous job, which is cleaner than tying new underlayment into old. It's worth a conversation over the fence before you schedule.
Getting HOA sign-off in Gilbert Ranch
Gilbert Ranch has an HOA, and many Gilbert associations review roof color and tile style before work begins. We haven't seen this community's specific roof rules, so check with the Gilbert Ranch HOA before committing to a new tile profile or color.
Reusing your existing tiles in a lift and relay keeps the look unchanged, which usually makes approval straightforward. Switching to a different tile or material is where approval matters most.
Monsoon prep for an older roof
Arizona's monsoon season runs June 15–September 30. Strong gusts can lift or crack tiles, and heavy downpours find any weak spot in aging underlayment. A spring check gives you time to fix problems before the storms arrive.
After a big storm, walk around the house and look for tile pieces on the ground, debris in valleys and fresh stains on ceilings. If you spot damage, our storm damage repair service can assess it.

Who built the homes in Gilbert Ranch?
An MLS listing for a 1998 home in Gilbert Ranch names Continental Homes as the builder. The community was built in more than one phase, so your original purchase documents are the best record for your specific home.
How old are roofs in Gilbert Ranch?
Homes were built around 1998–1999, so any roof that hasn't been replaced is about 27 years old. That's past the typical 20–25 year lifespan of original felt underlayment under tile.
Can I keep my existing tiles?
In most cases, yes. Concrete tile is durable, and a lift and relay reuses the tiles you have while replacing the underlayment underneath. We set aside broken pieces and replace them.
What if I live in a Gilbert Ranch townhome?
Check your HOA documents to see whether roof maintenance is your responsibility or the association's. If it's yours and you share a roof line, coordinating with your neighbor can make the work cleaner.
Do I need HOA approval to re-roof?
Probably, especially if you change color or tile style. Gilbert Ranch has an HOA, so contact them before scheduling, and we can provide the product details they ask for.
Is a leak after a monsoon storm always an underlayment problem?
No. Leaks can also come from a cracked tile, a failed flashing, a clogged valley or a damaged vent. We find the actual source before recommending a fix.
How often should a 1990s tile roof be checked?
Once a year is a good habit, ideally in spring before monsoon season, plus a look after any major storm. Older roofs benefit most from regular checks because small problems grow quickly.
Are there parks near Gilbert Ranch?
Listings mention a community playground and a biking and walking path, and describe the neighborhood as near Freestone Park and SanTan Village.
How do I set up an inspection?
Phone 602-548-3770 during office hours, Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm, and we'll find a time to look at your roof.
