Willows roofs at 16 years
Two MLS listings in Willows show K. Hovnanian homes built in 2009 and 2010, both with tile roofs. That puts most roofs here at about 16–17 years old, assuming they're original.
Tile roofs at this age usually look fine on the surface. Underneath, the felt underlayment has been through 16 or more Arizona summers. It's not usually at the end of its life yet, but it's close enough that you'll want to know its condition before budgeting for the next decade.
Your inspection, step by step
Here's how a roof inspection at a Willows home usually goes:
- We talk with you about any leaks, stains or concerns.
- We walk the roof carefully, checking tile, valleys, ridges and flashing.
- We lift a few tiles where it makes sense to see the underlayment.
- We look in the attic for moisture, light and ventilation problems.
- We walk you through photos and recommendations.
You'll come away knowing whether the roof needs small repairs now, a re-felt in the next few years, or simply routine upkeep.
Patios, overhangs and add-ons
Many Gilbert homes from this era have gained covered patios, pergolas or other add-ons since move-in. Where a newer patio roof ties into the original tile roof, the connection needs proper flashing, and it's one of the first places leaks appear.
If your patio cover has a low-slope surface, it may need a different material than tile. We work on flat roofs and coatings, so we can check both during the same visit.
Monsoon readiness in east Gilbert
East Gilbert gets the same monsoon storms as the rest of the Valley, from June 15 to September 30. High winds can loosen ridge tiles and push debris into valleys, and the first heavy rain of the season tends to expose any weak spots.
If you notice tiles out of place or ceiling stains after a storm, have them looked at quickly. Our storm damage page explains what to watch for.
HOA rules in Willows
Willows has an HOA, and its amenities include two community pools, playgrounds and sport courts. Like most Gilbert associations, it likely has architectural guidelines for exterior changes. Before you change tile color or roofing material, ask the HOA what's required.
Repairs and re-felts that reuse your existing tile keep the home's look the same, so they generally raise fewer questions.

Check with the Willows HOA before changing color, style or material. Repairs that match your existing tile usually aren't an issue.
