A 1994 roof has done its job
Sonoma Ranch was built by Shea Homes, and listings show homes from 1994 with tile roofs. More than three decades of Arizona summers is a long run for any roof's underlayment. Felt under tile typically lasts about 20–25 years here, so an original Sonoma Ranch roof is likely five to ten years past that.
Some owners have already acted. One listing advertised a roof done in 2020. If you bought your home recently, check your disclosures to see whether yours has been replaced.
What a 30-year-old tile roof usually looks like underneath
On roofs this age, we commonly find felt that crumbles when touched, especially along the eaves and in valleys where water runs most. Nails can rust and loosen, and tiles may slip because battens or fasteners have aged. Flashings around vents and walls are often worn too.
None of this means the tile itself is bad. Concrete tile frequently survives decades longer than the felt below it, which is why an underlayment replacement is often possible instead of buying new tile.
Underlayment replacement versus full re-roof
Here is how the two main options compare for a Sonoma Ranch home:
- Underlayment replacement: tile is lifted and saved, new underlayment and flashing go down, sound tile is relaid
- Full re-roof: old tile and underlayment are removed, and new underlayment and new tile are installed
- Both: damaged deck boards are replaced before new underlayment goes on
- Choice depends on how much of the existing tile is cracked, brittle or no longer available to match
North Gilbert monsoon exposure
Monsoon storms can hit any time from June 15–September 30. Strong outflow winds and sudden downpours are hard on a roof whose underlayment is already failing, and a leak that starts in one storm can spread quickly in the next.
If your Sonoma Ranch roof is original, try to schedule an inspection in winter or spring. After a storm, check for tile on the ground and new ceiling stains, and see our storm damage page for what to do next.
Sonoma Ranch HOA and Mesa-area confusion
Sonoma Ranch is on the Town of Gilbert's registered HOA list, and its addresses are in Gilbert even though at least one listing in 85234 called a home a Mesa gem. The ZIP is shared with neighboring areas, so this confusion comes up now and then.
The HOA's roof guidelines aren't in our files. If you are changing tile color or style, check with the association first; reusing your tile usually keeps the look unchanged.

Frequently asked questions
Still have a question? Call the office at 602-548-3770, Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm.
When were Sonoma Ranch homes built?
Listings show homes built in 1994 by Shea Homes. Original roofs are now more than 30 years old.
Is Sonoma Ranch in Gilbert or Mesa?
Sonoma Ranch is on the Town of Gilbert's registered HOA list and has Gilbert addresses in the 85234 ZIP code. Some listings loosely describe the area as Mesa.
Does my 1994 tile roof need to be replaced?
If it still has its original underlayment, it almost certainly needs an underlayment replacement at minimum. Whether the tile can be reused depends on its condition.
Have other Sonoma Ranch homes had new roofs?
Yes. At least one listing advertised a roof done in 2020. We did not do that work, but it shows owners are replacing roofs of this age.
Can I keep my existing tile?
Often, yes. Concrete tile usually outlasts the underlayment. We reuse sound tile and replace broken pieces with a matching product when available.
Why are my tiles slipping?
On older roofs, fasteners and battens can loosen or corrode, letting tiles slide. Slipped tiles leave gaps that let more water reach worn underlayment.
Does the Sonoma Ranch HOA need to approve a new roof?
Check with the association, since we don't have its roof rules. Color or style changes commonly need approval in Gilbert HOAs.
How much does a re-roof cost in Sonoma Ranch?
Every roof is different. Roof size, pitch, deck repairs and whether tile is reused all affect the price. See our Roofing Cost Guide for details.
What are your office hours?
Monday through Friday, 7 am to 5 pm. We are closed on weekends, and messages are returned within 24 hours.
