Tile Roofing Near You in Mesa, From Dobson Ranch to Las Sendas

Search for tile roofing near me from a house in Mesa and the results cover half the Valley. What you actually need to know is narrower: does this company work on my side of the city, does it know the kind of tile roof my neighborhood was built with, and does it know which rules apply on my street. This page answers those three questions for Circle G Roofing, area by area.

We install, replace, relay and repair clay and concrete tile roofs across Mesa, and we cover the cities around it as well.

How Mesa is laid out, and why it matters for a roof

Mesa is the third most populous city in Arizona, with 504,258 residents at the 2020 census, and it covers about 139 square miles of land. It runs roughly 18 miles from Price Road in the west to Meridian Road in the east. Center Street divides West Mesa from East Mesa. US 60, the Superstition Freeway, crosses the city, Loop 101 follows its western limit and Loop 202 goes around the north and the east.

The city was registered as a townsite in 1878 and has been building outward ever since, so the age of a house is closely tied to where it stands. Age is the first thing we want to know about a tile roof, because the tile can last the life of the house while the underlayment beneath it, in our experience, lasts roughly 13 to 16 years in Arizona heat. A roof’s address tells us a good deal before we have climbed a ladder.

Mesa, area by area

Area	What is there	What to settle before tile work
Dobson Ranch	A planned community built between 1973 and 1999, between US 60 and Guadalupe Road and from Loop 101 east to Extension Road, with a golf course and several small lakes.	On a tile roof here the profile may no longer be made, and the community has a homeowners’ association, so ask about its rules on roof color and profile.
The original townsite and the historic districts	Eight locally designated historic districts, among them West Second Street, Glenwood/Wilbur, Robson and Temple.	The City says Planning approval is required to replace the roof of a historic home. Speak to the Historic Preservation Office first.
Las Sendas	A 4,200-acre master-planned community in the desert foothills of eastern Mesa, with private gated neighborhoods inside it.	Check the community’s design rules before choosing tile, and tell us about gate access when you call.
Eastmark	A master-planned community that opened in June 2013 on about 3,200 acres that once held an automotive test track.	The oldest roofs here are about 13 years old, the age at which we start watching underlayment. Newer streets need a yearly check.
Superstition Springs and East Mesa	East Mesa neighborhoods around the Superstition Springs business park and its shopping mall, Superstition Springs Center.	Tell us the age of the house. It tells us what to expect under the tile.

Dobson Ranch and West Mesa

Dobson Ranch was built on and around a homestead the City of Mesa bought from the Dobson family, and construction ran from 1973 to 1999. A community built over 26 years holds roofs of several ages. Even the youngest houses are now more than 25 years old, well past the 13 to 16 years we expect from underlayment in Arizona heat, so a tile roof in Dobson Ranch should either have been relaid by now or be looked at soon. The other question here is matching. We identify the tile profile and source it before a job starts. If a profile cannot be found, we move sound tile from a slope that cannot be seen from the street and put the new tile there instead.

The townsite and the historic districts

Mesa has eight locally designated historic districts: Evergreen, Flying Acres, Fraser Fields, Glenwood/Wilbur, Robson, Temple, West Second Street and West Side-Clark. The Temple district, for example, lies just east of the original townsite along Mesa Drive, Udall Street and LeSueur Street, between Main Street and Broadway Road. It takes its name from the Arizona Temple, completed in 1927, and its houses run from bungalows and Tudor Revival to early ranch homes. Glenwood/Wilbur sits inside the original townsite, between First Street and Second Street. West Side-Clark lies immediately west of the townsite, between University Drive and Main Street, and Fraser Fields is half a mile east of the townsite, between Horne and Miller. Tile turns up in the historic districts too: the City’s description of the Evergreen district lists Spanish Colonial Revival houses with stucco walls and tile roofs.

Roofing on these streets has an extra step. The City’s residential construction page says that if your home is historic, Planning approval is required to replace the roof, and changes to designated properties go through the Certificate of Appropriateness process. The City’s Historic Preservation Office is at 55 N. Center Street. As we describe the city on our own website, the older homes nearer downtown often have flat or low-slope roofs, and we work on those too.

Las Sendas and the foothills

Las Sendas covers 4,200 acres of desert foothills in eastern Mesa, with large areas of desert preserved as open space. The civil engineers who worked on it count 25 private gated neighborhoods within the community. For a roofing job, a gated neighborhood means two practical things. First, read the community’s design rules before you settle on a tile, because a change of color or profile may need approval. Second, let us know about gate access, so the crew and the delivery of underlayment and tile are not held at the entrance.

Eastmark and the newer east side

Eastmark stands on about 3,200 acres that once held an automotive test track, a few minutes from Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. It held its grand opening on June 1, 2013, so its oldest roofs are now about 13 years old. That is the low end of the 13 to 16 years we expect from underlayment in Arizona heat, which makes this a sensible time to have the first streets looked at. As we note on our own website, Mesa’s newer subdivisions to the east are tile. Younger roofs are not maintenance free either. Tiles crack under foot traffic from other trades, and monsoon wind shifts tiles at the edges. An annual check finds those while each is still a small repair.

Around Falcon Field, Red Mountain Park and the ballparks

We also cover the neighborhoods around Falcon Field in the northeast, around Red Mountain Park on Brown Road, which the City lists at 1,146 acres and calls the largest park in Mesa, and near the two Cactus League ballparks, Sloan Park and Hohokam Stadium. If you are not sure which heading your street falls under, it does not matter. Give us the cross streets.

The cities around Mesa

We are based in Scottsdale and work across the Valley. Mesa borders Tempe on the west, Chandler and Gilbert on the south and Apache Junction on the east, and we cover all four. Farther out we work in Phoenix, Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, Cave Creek and Carefree.

What near means when you are choosing a tile roofer

Distance matters less than familiarity. A roofer is near enough if three things are true.

• They work in your city regularly. They know the housing, the weather and which rules to ask about.
• They come back. A tile roof needs a yearly check of its valleys, ridge mortar and flashing, and the same company should be the one doing it.
• They answer when it rains. Our emergency leak line is answered around the clock.

Our tile roofers Mesa page goes into how to compare companies and what a written scope should contain.

What the weather does to tile roofs across the city

Every part of Mesa shares the same climate. The 1991 to 2020 normals for the East Mesa station put the average daily high in July at 105.9 degrees Fahrenheit, and the highest reading on record there is 121. Annual precipitation averages about 10.76 inches. June is the driest month, at 0.05 inches, and July, August and September then bring about 3.6 inches between them, a third of the year’s total. Monsoon season officially runs from June 15 to September 30.

In our experience heat is what ages a tile roof, and storms are what expose the aging. Month after month of heat dries the underlayment until it becomes brittle. Then a monsoon storm drives rain under the tile and finds the split. That is why a roof can go fifteen dry years and then leak in two rooms in one night.

• The age of the house, or the year the roof was last relaid if you know it.
• Whether the tile is clay or concrete, if you can tell.
• What you have noticed: a stain, a slipped tile, pieces in the yard, or nothing yet.
• Whether the house is in a homeowners’ association or a historic district.
• Anything about access: a gate code, a locked side yard, a dog.

From there the steps are the same everywhere in the city. We inspect the roof free of charge, lift tile and photograph what is under it, and give you a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
