Higley Estates within Morrison Ranch
Officially named Higley Estates at Morrison Ranch, this section sits inside the larger Morrison Ranch community and is part of its master HOA. US Home, a Lennar company, built the homes around 2005, and listings show tile and concrete tile roofs.
Gilbert has several subdivisions with Higley in the name, so it's easy to mix them up. This one is distinct from Higley Groves and from Higley Park. When you call, mentioning Morrison Ranch helps us know exactly where you are.
Roofs at the 20-year point
A 2005 tile roof is right where felt underlayment, which typically lasts about 20–25 years in Arizona, begins to fail. Heat dries it out over time until it cracks, and then water that slips under the tile has nowhere to go but into the deck.
The tile can look perfect while this happens. That's why we recommend an inspection for 2005-era homes even if nothing seems wrong. It's far easier to plan underlayment work in the spring than to deal with a leak in the middle of monsoon season.
Larger lots and bigger roofs
Higley Estates is known for larger lots, around a quarter-acre on listings. Bigger lots often come with bigger homes, longer rooflines and more valleys and hips, which means more places where water collects and more square footage to maintain.
The extra space also helps on project day. Room to stage tile and materials beside the house makes a lift-and-relay or replacement go more smoothly, with less disruption to your driveway.
Concrete tile from a single builder
Because US Home built Higley Estates, homes likely share similar tile profiles and colors from the same era. That can make matching easier for small repairs, although colors fade differently on each roof depending on sun exposure.
If your tile is in good shape, we can reuse it during underlayment replacement. If it's worn or a lot of pieces are cracked, we'll go over new tile options that fit the look of the street.
Inspect first, then decide
For a 20-year-old roof, the decision usually comes down to three choices. An inspection tells us which one fits:
- Spot repair if the underlayment is still in good condition
- Lift-and-relay with new underlayment if the tile is sound
- Full replacement if both tile and underlayment are worn
- Flat or patio section recoat if those areas need attention

Frequently asked questions
Still have a question? Call the office at 602-548-3770, Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm.
Is Higley Estates part of Morrison Ranch?
Yes. Its official name is Higley Estates at Morrison Ranch, and it falls under the Morrison Ranch HOA.
Is Higley Estates the same as Higley Groves or Higley Park?
No. They're separate subdivisions. Higley Groves is another Morrison Ranch section, and Higley Park is a separate subdivision near Higley Rd and Ray Rd.
When were Higley Estates homes built?
Listings show homes built around 2005 by US Home, a Lennar company.
What roofs do Higley Estates homes have?
Listings show tile roofs, including concrete tile.
Does my Higley Estates roof need new underlayment?
It's at the age when felt underlayment often starts to fail. An inspection will tell you whether it needs replacing now or can wait.
Can you reuse my concrete tile?
When the tile is still sound, we can. We lift it, install new underlayment and flashing, and relay it, replacing broken pieces.
Do larger lots affect roof work?
Larger homes often mean bigger, more complex roofs. Extra yard space also makes it easier to stage materials during a project.
Do I need Morrison Ranch HOA approval for roof work?
Ask the HOA before you alter tile color or style. Like-for-like repairs usually need less review.
How do I get a roof estimate in Higley Estates?
Phone our Gilbert office at 602-548-3770 on a weekday between 7 am and 5 pm, and mention financing if you'd like to hear about it.
Will new tiles match my faded ones?
Not always exactly. Tile colors fade at different rates depending on sun exposure, so new tiles can look brighter at first. For small repairs, we may move original tiles from a less visible area to the front and put new ones out of sight.
