A community built over a decade

Lyon's Gate takes its name from William Lyon Homes, which built here alongside other builders between 2005 and 2015. Higley Rd runs through it, splitting it into east and west sides, with railroad tracks to the south. A 2011 Phase 9 home by William Lyon shows a tile roof.

A 10-year build span means two homes on similar streets can be a decade apart in roof age. When you call, telling us your build year or phase helps us know what to expect.

Early phases: approaching the underlayment window

Homes from the first phases, around 2005, are reaching 20 years. Felt underlayment under tile commonly lasts about 20–25 years in Arizona, so these roofs are entering the stretch where it starts to dry out and crack.

Getting an inspection now lets you plan the work on your schedule. If the tile is in good shape, replacing the underlayment and relaying the existing tile is usually the most practical fix.

Later phases: keeping a younger roof healthy

Homes from 2010–2015 still have years before underlayment typically becomes an issue. For these roofs, the priorities are simple: replace broken tiles quickly, keep valleys and gutters clear, and check flashing around vents and walls.

Cracked tiles are easy to overlook but let heat and water reach the underlayment early. Fixing them keeps the whole roof on track to last as long as it should.

Common tile roof problems we see in the East Valley

Across Gilbert, tile roofs from the 2000s and 2010s tend to develop the same handful of issues. Most are inexpensive to fix when caught early.

Tiles cracked by foot traffic from other trades
Debris build-up in valleys that slows drainage
Dried-out sealant at pipe and vent flashings
Bird nests under the edge tiles at the eaves
Wind-shifted ridge caps after monsoon storms

Is it Lyons Gate or Lyon's Gate?

The official spelling is Lyon's Gate, named for William Lyon Homes. Both spellings refer to the same community at Higley Rd and Ray Rd.

When were Lyons Gate homes built?

Homes were built from about 2005 to 2015, so roof ages vary by phase.

Do Lyons Gate homes have tile roofs?

A 2011 William Lyon home shows a tile roof. We confirm the material on each home during a visit.

My Lyons Gate home was built in 2005. Does it need new underlayment?

It may soon. Felt underlayment commonly lasts about 20–25 years in Arizona, and 2005 homes are entering that range. An inspection will show its condition.

What does underlayment replacement involve?

We remove the tile, take off the old underlayment, install new underlayment and flashing, and then relay the tile, replacing any broken pieces.

Who manages the Lyon's Gate HOA?

Brown Community Management manages it. Check with them about roof guidelines before changing materials or colors.

Can cracked tiles really cause a leak?

Yes, over time. A cracked tile exposes the underlayment to sun and water, which wears it out faster and can eventually let water into the home.

How do I schedule a roof estimate in Lyons Gate?

Dial 602-548-3770 during weekday office hours, 7 am to 5 pm, and ask about financing when we visit.

Why do bird nests matter on a tile roof?

Birds sometimes build under open edge tiles at the eaves. Nesting material can trap water and block drainage, and the birds can loosen tiles. Bird stops installed along the eaves help keep them out.

Do homes on the east and west sides of Higley Rd need different roof care?

Not because of which side they're on. What matters more is the home's build year and phase, since Lyon's Gate was built over about 10 years.
