Roofing considerations for Higley Groves homes
- Underlayment in the failure zone. Original underlayment on homes from 2001 and 2002 is now 20 to 25 years old, the most common age for leaks under otherwise sound tile.
- Some roofs already redone. A few homes have had new roofs. If you are buying, ask for records, since a replaced roof and an original one can look the same from the street.
- Trees along the streets. Mature street and yard trees drop leaves into valleys and gutters.
- Two separate HOAs. Check whether you are in Higley Groves or Higley Groves West, since each has its own guidelines for exterior changes.
How Arizona weather affects roofs in Higley Groves
- 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.

Is Higley Groves part of Morrison Ranch?
No. Higley Groves and Higley Groves West have their own homeowners associations. Highland Groves and Higley Estates, by contrast, are neighborhoods within Morrison Ranch. The names are similar, so confirm your association on your HOA statements before applying for roof approval.
My Higley Groves home was built in 2001. What should I expect from the roof?
Expect the underlayment to need attention soon if it has not been replaced. The tiles may look fine, but underlayment from that era is typically drying out and cracking. Signs include ceiling stains after rain and damp spots in the attic.
Should I get a roof inspection before buying in Higley Groves?
Yes. Homes here are about 25 years old, and some have had new roofs while others have not. An inspection tells you which you are getting and what work to plan for, which helps with your offer and your budget.
How can Higley Groves homeowners prepare for monsoon season?
Trim trees away from the roof, clear valleys and gutters, and have cracked tiles and worn vent flashing repaired before June 15. With underlayment this age, small gaps can become active leaks in the first heavy rain. After storms, check ceilings and the attic for new stains.
