About Finley Farms
Finley Farms is an established neighborhood in central Gilbert's 85296 ZIP code. It is organized as two associations on the Town of Gilbert's registered list, Finley Farms North and Finley Farms South, and includes sections such as Parkside at Finley Farms. Listings describe walking paths, well-kept parks and convenient access to schools and shopping.
Homes listed in the community were built in the mid-to-late 1990s, and listings show tile roofs. At least one home in Finley Farms South combines tile with a built-up flat roof section, a setup that needs different maintenance than tile alone.
Roofing considerations for Finley Farms homes
- Underlayment near 30 years. On a home built in 1996 or 1997, original tile underlayment is well into the range where it typically fails. Many homes have already been re-felted; those that have not are good candidates for an inspection.
- Built-up flat sections. Patio covers and flat areas with built-up roofing need periodic coating and attention to seams and drains, separate from the tile.
- Tile-to-flat transitions. Where a sloped tile roof meets a flat section is a common leak point.
- Mature trees. Older landscaping drops more debris into valleys and gutters.
- Two associations. North and South have separate HOAs, so check the rules for your side before a re-roof.
How Arizona weather affects roofs in Finley Farms
- Extreme heat and UV. Summer roof surfaces get far hotter than the air. Years of heat and UV dry out tile underlayment, age shingles and break down roof coatings.
- Monsoon storms. Arizona's monsoon season runs June 15 to September 30. Sudden wind gusts lift tiles and shingles, and short, heavy downpours find any weak spot in flashing or underlayment.
- Dust storms and debris. Haboobs and wind-blown debris fill valleys, gutters and flat-roof drains, which can back water up under roofing.
- Winter rain. Slow, steady winter rains expose small leaks that summer storms started.
Most roof trouble in the Valley starts small. A spring and fall inspection catches it early. See our monsoon roof tips for a checklist.

My Finley Farms home still has its original 1990s roof. What should I do?
Have it inspected soon. Underlayment from the mid-1990s is close to 30 years old, past the point where it commonly cracks and leaks. If the tiles are still sound, a re-felt can reuse them over new underlayment. If the roof has already been re-felted, routine checks are usually enough.
How do I maintain a built-up flat section on my Finley Farms home?
Keep it coated and keep the drains clear. Built-up roofs depend on a protective surface to shield them from UV, and that surface wears down over time. Look for blisters, cracks and standing water, and have the flat-to-tile transition checked during each inspection.
Are Finley Farms North and South under different HOA rules?
Yes, they are separate associations, so approval requirements and approved roof colors can differ. Check with your own association before a re-roof or any change to tile color or profile. We can supply product details for your application. Your management company can confirm which association covers your street.
How can Finley Farms homeowners get ready for monsoon season?
Before June 15, clear flat-roof drains and scuppers, sweep debris from valleys, replace cracked tiles and reseal worn flashing. On older roofs, have the underlayment checked too, because that is what stops water when wind drives rain under the tiles.
