The short answer
Integrity Roofing repairs and re-felts tile roofs in Lindsay Ranch, Gilbert, including homes with rooftop solar. Homes here were built around 1996–1997, so original roofs are about 28–30 years old and usually past their underlayment life. If you have solar, the panels typically need to come off and go back on during the work. Call 602-548-3770.

Nearly 30-year-old roofs in Lindsay Ranch
Lindsay Ranch was built by Continental Homes and Shea Homes, and listings show homes from 1996 and 1997 with tile roofs. That puts original roofs at roughly 28–30 years old.
Felt underlayment under tile typically lasts about 20–25 years in Arizona, so an original Lindsay Ranch roof has very likely outlived its underlayment. Even if you have not had a leak, it is worth having the roof inspected before monsoon season.
Planning roof work around solar panels
Several Lindsay Ranch listings mention owned solar systems. Panels are mounted through or onto the roof, so a full underlayment replacement or re-roof under them means the panels must be removed first and reinstalled after the new underlayment is in place.
The panel work is normally handled by a solar contractor, and timing between the two trades matters. Here is how to make it go smoothly:
- Tell us about the solar system when you call so we can plan around it
- Check your solar warranty for rules about who may remove and reinstall panels
- Contact your solar installer or a qualified solar contractor early to schedule removal and reinstall
- Ask about mount and flashing details so the roof stays watertight at every attachment
Why roof first, then solar, makes sense
If your roof is close to needing an underlayment replacement and you are thinking about adding solar, it is usually better to handle the roof first. Otherwise you may pay to remove and reinstall brand-new panels a few years later.
For homes that already have solar, the reverse applies: do the roof work once, thoroughly, so the panels can stay put for many years after reinstalling.
Leak spots unique to solar-equipped roofs
Every solar mount is a penetration or attachment point in the roof. On a tile roof, mounts often require cutting or replacing tiles and adding flashing. If that flashing ages or was not detailed well, water can get in at the mounts.
Leaks under panels can be hard to spot because the panels hide the tile. Stains on ceilings below the array, or water in the attic near mounts, are worth a call. A roof inspection can check the areas around the array.
Lindsay Ranch HOA and community notes
Lindsay Ranch has an HOA and amenities that include a community pool, playgrounds, parks and walking paths. We don't have the association's roof guidelines, so ask the HOA before changing tile color or style.
An underlayment replacement that reuses the same tile generally leaves the home looking unchanged. If you are adding or changing solar, ask the HOA about any requirements for that too.

Frequently asked questions
Still have a question? Call the office at 602-548-3770, Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm.
When were Lindsay Ranch homes built?
Homes in the listings we checked were built in 1996 and 1997. Builders included Continental Homes and Shea Homes.
Do I need to remove my solar panels to replace roof underlayment?
In most cases, yes. The panels sit on top of the area being replaced, so they need to come off first and be reinstalled once the new underlayment and tile are in place.
Who removes and reinstalls the solar panels?
That is usually done by a solar contractor. Check your solar warranty for any requirements, and let us know about the system so we can coordinate timing.
Should I re-roof before adding solar?
If your roof is near the end of its underlayment life, doing the roof first usually makes sense. That way you avoid paying to remove and reinstall new panels a few years later.
Can solar panels cause roof leaks?
They can if the mounts or their flashing were not sealed well or have aged. Leaks at mounts are often hidden under the panels, so watch for ceiling stains below the array.
How old are Lindsay Ranch roofs?
Original roofs are about 28–30 years old. That is past the typical 20–25 year life of felt underlayment in Arizona.
Does Lindsay Ranch have an HOA?
Yes. The Lindsay Ranch HOA covers the neighborhood, which includes a community pool, playgrounds and paths. Check with the HOA about roof or solar approval requirements.
How much does roof work cost on a home with solar?
Every roof is different, and solar adds the cost of panel removal and reinstall by the solar contractor. Our Roofing Cost Guide covers the roofing side.
