Roofing in Las Sendas
Las Sendas sits in the Usery Mountain foothills of northeast Mesa, and many of its homes date from the late 1990s and 2000s. For the oldest of them, the layer under the tile is the part to watch.

The short answer
Integrity Roofing, a family-owned contractor licensed in Arizona since 1993, repairs tile roofs, replaces underlayment and reroofs homes in Las Sendas. Many Las Sendas homes were built in the late 1990s and 2000s, so their tile may be sound while the original underlayment is at or near the end of its typical life.

Why late-1990s Las Sendas roofs need a closer look
Las Sendas Golf Club opened in 1995, and listings show homes from 1998 and 1999 with concrete tile roofs. Building continued through the 2000s and into the 2010s, so the community has roofs of several ages.
For the oldest homes, now more than 25 years old, the concrete tile itself may still be in good shape. The original felt underlayment beneath it is a different story. In Arizona heat, felt often lasts about 20–25 years, so on many late-1990s homes it is likely due or overdue. Once it dries and cracks, water that gets past the tile has nothing to stop it.
Tile re-felt versus full replacement
When the underlayment is worn but the tile is sound, the usual fix is a lift and relay, also called a re-felt. We remove the tile, replace the underlayment and flashings, then reinstall the original tile with new pieces where needed. You keep the look of your home and avoid buying all-new tile.
If tiles are badly cracked, discontinued or the HOA wants a new look, a full roof replacement may make more sense. We will show you what we find and explain the options. For cost ranges, see the Roofing Cost Guide; every roof is different.
Hillside lots and complex roof lines
Many Las Sendas homes are built on hillside lots with views toward the mountains and the city. Homes designed around those views often have more hips, valleys, roof-to-wall transitions and multiple levels than a typical tract house.
Each of those details is a place where flashing has to be done right, and valleys are where water concentrates during a storm. On a re-felt or repair, we spend extra time on these areas. Exposed foothill lots can also take stronger monsoon gusts, so ridge and edge tiles get a careful check.
Architectural review before you reroof
Las Sendas has an Architectural Review process and CC&Rs posted on the community's resident website. We did not find specific published rules on tile color or profile, so get approval from the Trailhead Office (480-357-8780) before re-roofing or changing the roof's appearance.
A re-felt that reuses your existing tile usually keeps the look the same, but confirm anyway. We can supply product details for your application.
Gated neighborhoods and scheduling
Las Sendas includes 25 private gated neighborhoods. If you live behind a gate, share gate access details when you call so our crew can reach your home on time. Give your HOA or neighbors a heads-up for larger projects, since a re-felt involves material deliveries and a few days of work.
Golf course and desert edge homes
Homes along the golf course or the desert edge face a few extra wear points. Errant golf balls can crack tiles, and desert winds carry dust and debris that collect in valleys and gutters.
- Look for cracked tiles on the course-facing side after the season's busiest months.
- Clear valleys of desert debris before monsoon season.
- Check the attic for light or stains near valleys and skylights.

How old are the roofs in Las Sendas?
Homes in Las Sendas were mostly built in the late 1990s and 2000s, with some from the 2010s. The oldest roofs are now more than 25 years old.
Does my late-1990s Las Sendas home need a new roof?
Not always. The concrete tile may be fine, but the original underlayment under it is likely near or past its typical life. A tile re-felt replaces the underlayment and reuses good tile, which is often the right fix.
Who approves roof work in Las Sendas?
Las Sendas has an Architectural Review process. Contact the Trailhead Office at 480-357-8780 for approval before re-roofing or changing the roof's appearance.
Can you get into gated Las Sendas neighborhoods?
Yes, as long as we have access. When you call, tell us your gate access instructions so our crew can get to your home.
What is a lift and relay?
It is a tile roof service where we remove the tile, install new underlayment and flashings, and put the original tile back with replacements for broken pieces. It restores the waterproofing without buying a whole new roof covering.
Are hillside homes in Las Sendas harder to roof?
They often have more complex roof lines, with extra valleys, hips and wall transitions. That means more flashing details to get right, so these roofs take more time to inspect and repair carefully.
How do I know if my underlayment is failing?
Signs include stains on ceilings, leaks during heavy rain, and brittle or torn underlayment visible when a tile is lifted. An inspection is the surest way to know.
How much does a re-felt cost in Las Sendas?
It depends on roof size, pitch, complexity and how many tiles need replacing. See our Roofing Cost Guide for general ranges, and call for an estimate on your home.
