About Neely Farms
Neely Farms is a single-family neighborhood in central Gilbert's 85296 ZIP code, about five minutes from the restaurants and events of the Heritage District downtown. It was built in several units between 1997 and 1999, and Settlers Point Elementary serves the area. The Neely Farms HOA maintains walking paths and a playground.
Homes range from compact single-story plans to two-story houses of nearly 3,800 square feet. Listings show tile roofs, and several recent listings mention a roof update or newer roof.
Roofing considerations for Neely Farms homes
- Original versus updated roofs. Some homes have already had roof work and others still have 1990s underlayment. The age of the underlayment, not the tile, is what matters most.
- Late-1990s underlayment. At 26 to 28 years old, original underlayment is commonly brittle and splits at laps and around penetrations.
- Single-story homes are easier to inspect. Many plans here are one story, which makes ground-level checks with binoculars practical between professional inspections.
- Older vent and flue flashing. Pipe boots and vent flashing from the original build often need replacing along with the underlayment.
How Arizona weather affects roofs in Neely 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.

How do I know if my Neely Farms roof has already been replaced?
Check your purchase documents, ask the previous owner, or look for permit or warranty paperwork. Visually, new underlayment is hard to see under tile, so an inspection is the most reliable way to tell. We can lift a few tiles and tell you whether the underlayment is original or newer.
What does a tile re-felt involve on a Neely Farms home?
We remove the tiles, tear off the old underlayment, install new underlayment and flashing, then relay the good tiles and replace any broken ones. On a late-1990s home, this usually addresses the root cause of recurring leaks while keeping the original tile look.
Can I check my own roof safely?
Yes, from the ground or the attic, but please do not walk on tile. Tiles crack easily underfoot. Use binoculars to look for broken or slipped tiles, and check the attic after a rain for damp spots or daylight. For anything more, schedule a professional inspection.
How can Neely Farms homeowners prepare for monsoon season?
Have the roof looked at in spring, especially if the underlayment is original. Replace cracked tiles, clear valleys and gutters, and reseal flashing around vents before June 15. Older underlayment can hold up in light rain and then fail in the first heavy, wind-driven storm.
