The short answer

Integrity Roofing repairs and replaces roofs in Val Vista Lakes, the lake community at Baseline Rd and Val Vista Dr in north Gilbert. Most homes here date from the 1980s and 1990s, so original tile underlayment is well past its typical lifespan, and many roofs are ready for underlayment replacement or a full re-roof.

Described as Gilbert's first lake subdivision, with four man-made lakes.

Roofs in one of Gilbert's oldest planned communities

Construction at Val Vista Lakes began around 1984, with the first homes finished in 1985–1986. Most homes were built in the 1980s and 1990s, with some in the early 2000s. The community spans about 900 acres around four man-made lakes, with 24 subdivisions ranging from condos to custom homes.

That age profile shapes everything about roofing here. Many homes are 35–40 years old. If the original felt underlayment is still under the tile, it's well past the 20–25 years it usually lasts in Arizona.

Is this your home's first roof or its second?

In a community this old, plenty of roofs have already been replaced or re-felted. Others haven't. The answer changes what you should do next, so it's worth finding out.

Check your purchase paperwork, ask the previous owner, or look for permit records. If nothing turns up, a roof inspection will tell us. A roof that was redone in the 2000s may be approaching its own second underlayment cycle, while an untouched original from the 1980s is likely living on borrowed time.

Matching older tile on Santa Barbara-style homes

Homes here are known for a Santa Barbara and Newport Beach architectural look, and a 1991 listing confirms tile. On older homes, the original tile profile or color may no longer be made.

For small repairs, we look for the closest match available and sometimes use salvaged tile from a less visible part of the roof. For larger work, a lift-and-relay keeps your original tile in place on top of new underlayment, which preserves the look entirely. If the tile itself is failing, we'll talk through replacement options that suit the architecture.

What else to check on a 35-year-old roof

Age affects more than underlayment. On a full re-roof of an older home, we look at every layer and component, because some problems only show up once the tile comes off.

Roof decking softened by past leaks
Original flashing at walls, chimneys and skylights
Attic ventilation that may not meet current practice
Flat or low-slope sections over patios that need a new coating
Older skylights that leak around their curbs

Gated sections and condos

Several Val Vista Lakes sub-neighborhoods are gated. When you call to schedule, let us know how to get through the gate so we arrive on time without bothering your neighbors.

If you own a condo or attached home, check with your sub-association about who handles the roof before you hire anyone. We haven't reviewed the HOA rules here, and responsibility can differ from one association to another. Single-family owners should still ask about architectural approval before changing tile color or style.

Frequently asked questions

Still have a question? Call the office at 602-548-3770, Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm.

When were Val Vista Lakes homes built?

Construction began around 1984, with the first homes in 1985–1986. Most homes date from the 1980s and 1990s, with some built in the early 2000s.

Does my Val Vista Lakes roof need new underlayment?

If your roof still has its original underlayment, almost certainly. Felt underlayment typically lasts about 20–25 years in Arizona, and most homes here are well past that.

How can I tell if my roof has already been replaced?

Check closing documents, ask the previous owner, or look for permit records. If you can't find anything, an inspection will show what's on the roof and roughly how old it is.

Can you keep my original tile when re-roofing?

If the tile is in good shape, yes. We lift it, install new underlayment, and relay it, replacing broken pieces. That keeps the home's look the same.

What if my tile style is no longer made?

We look for the closest available match and may use salvaged tiles from less visible areas. If too much tile is damaged, we'll go over replacement options that fit the home.

Do you work in the gated parts of Val Vista Lakes?

Yes. When you call, tell us how to get through your gate so we can arrive on schedule.

Who is responsible for the roof on a Val Vista Lakes condo?

It depends on your association. Check with your sub-association before arranging roof work, since some cover roofs for attached homes and others don't.

Do you replace the roof decking too?

When decking is soft or damaged from past leaks, we replace the affected sections during a re-roof. We'll show you what we find before the new roof goes on.
