Roofing in The Groves, Mesa

The Groves is not one tidy subdivision. It is a stretch of central-east Mesa where 1970s and 1980s houses sit near 55+ RV and manufactured-home parks, so roof needs change from street to street.

The short answer

Integrity Roofing, a family-owned Arizona contractor (ROC #096629) based in Gilbert, repairs, inspects and replaces roofs on site-built homes in The Groves area of Mesa. Many houses here date from the 1970s to around 1990, so shingle wear, aging flat sections over patios and monsoon damage are the most common issues we look for.

What "The Groves" covers

Listing sites use The Groves as a name for part of central-east Mesa. Homes tagged with it fall roughly around Val Vista Drive and Lindsay Road, between Main Street and University Drive, in ZIP codes 85213 and 85205. No source we found publishes exact boundaries, so treat the name as a general area rather than a single community.

Inside that area you will find older single-family streets such as Thayer Estates, which has no HOA, alongside 55+ resort parks including Mesa Spirit RV Resort, Springhaven RV Resort, Citrus Gardens and Las Alegres. Some houses sit on larger lots with RV gates, and Val Vista Drive gives quick access to US-60.

Shingle roofs on 1970s and 1980s houses

Home listings in The Groves show build years of 1971, 1982, 1984, 1985, 1988 and 1990, and a 1984 Thayer Estates home has a composition shingle roof. A house that old has almost certainly been reroofed at least once, so the question is how old the current roof is, not how old the house is.

Arizona sun is hard on asphalt shingles. Over time the granules wash off, the mat dries out and the tabs curl or crack, and wind lifts the weak ones during summer storms. If your shingles look patchy or you find granules collecting near downspouts, schedule a roof inspection before the next monsoon. Our asphalt shingle page explains the warning signs in more detail.

Bare or shiny patches where granules are gone
Curled, cupped or cracked shingle tabs
Lifted shingles along ridges and edges after wind
Stains on ceilings below valleys or roof penetrations

Flat sections and patio covers

Homes of this era often have a low-slope section somewhere: a patio cover, an enclosed porch or a later addition tied into the main roof. Those flat areas hold water longer than the pitched roof and are usually the first place a leak starts.

Depending on what is up there now, a tired flat section can often be repaired, recoated with an elastomeric coating or rebuilt. Where a flat roof joins a shingle roof, the transition flashing deserves a close look too.

Homes in the 55+ RV and manufactured-home parks

The resort parks in The Groves hold park models and manufactured homes, including newer units from builders such as Cavco, Fuqua and Palm Harbor. These roofs are built differently from a site-built house, and many parks have their own rules about exterior work and who can do it.

If you live in one of the parks, check with the park office before any roof work starts. Then give us a call and describe your home and roof; we will tell you honestly whether the job is a good fit for what we do.

Choosing a roof without an HOA

Many streets here, Thayer Estates among them, have no HOA, which means no architectural committee has to approve your shingle color or roof style. That freedom is useful, but it also puts the whole decision on you.

When you replace an older shingle roof, think about color and heat. Lighter, more reflective shingles can help an attic run cooler in a Mesa summer. Ask about ventilation, too, because an attic that cannot breathe shortens shingle life. For a sense of what goes into price, see the Roofing Cost Guide; every roof is different, so a real number needs an on-site estimate.

Storm damage in an older neighborhood

At least one recent listing in The Groves mentions a storm-damaged roof, which is no surprise in an area with older roofs. Arizona's monsoon season runs June 15–September 30, and the outflow winds can peel up aged shingles and drive rain under loose flashing.

After a big storm, walk around the house and look from the ground. Missing shingles, debris on the roof and new ceiling stains are reasons to call. Our damaged roof page covers what to document for an insurance claim.

Frequently asked questions

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

Where is The Groves in Mesa?

Listings place it in central-east Mesa, roughly around Val Vista Drive and Lindsay Road between Main Street and University Drive, in ZIPs 85213 and 85205. No published source gives exact boundaries, so it works more like an area name than a defined subdivision.

Is The Groves a 55+ community?

Not as a whole. The area mixes older single-family subdivisions, many with no HOA, with 55+ RV and manufactured-home parks such as Mesa Spirit RV Resort, Springhaven RV Resort, Citrus Gardens and Las Alegres.

What kind of roofs do homes in The Groves have?

A 1984 home in Thayer Estates has a composition shingle roof, and the parks hold manufactured-home and park-model roofs. Homes of the 1970s and 1980s commonly mix shingle roofs with low-slope sections over patios or additions.

My house was built in the 1980s. Is it still on its original roof?

Probably not. Shingle roofs in Arizona rarely last that long, so most houses of that age have been reroofed at least once. An inspection tells you the age and condition of the roof you actually have.

Do I need HOA approval to replace my roof in Thayer Estates?

Thayer Estates is listed with no HOA, so there is no HOA approval step there. If your street is part of a different subdivision, check your deed or closing papers to see whether an association applies.

Can you work on my manufactured home in one of the parks?

Call us and describe the home and the roof so we can tell you whether it fits the work we do. Check with your park office first, since parks often have their own rules about exterior work.

How do I know if storm damage needs a roofer?

Missing or lifted shingles, debris on the roof, dented vents and new water stains inside are all good reasons to have it checked. Take photos from the ground before anything is moved.

Do you offer financing for a roof replacement?

Yes, financing is available. Ask about it during your estimate and we will walk you through the options.
