About Settler's Point
Settler's Point is a central Gilbert neighborhood in the 85296 ZIP code, close to downtown Gilbert, SanTan Village and both the Loop 202 and US 60. Homes were built between 1994 and 1997 in floor plans from about 1,800 to 3,300 square feet. The neighborhood includes several sections, such as Settler's Point Parcel B and Settler's Point South, with associations including the Settlers Point Owners Association and the Devon HOA.
Listings show tile roofs, and many homes sit on quiet cul-de-sacs within walking distance of parks and a school.
Roofing considerations for Settler's Point homes
- Mid-1990s underlayment. Original underlayment is now about 28 to 31 years old, past the age where it commonly fails.
- Different associations, different rules. Depending on your parcel, approval for a re-roof or new tile color may come from a different association.
- Larger two-story plans. Bigger homes have more valleys and roof-to-wall joints, each a potential leak point as flashing ages.
- Previous partial repairs. After nearly 30 years, many roofs have had spot repairs. We check whether they are still sealing properly.
How Arizona weather affects roofs in Settler's Point
- 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.

Which HOA approves roof work in Settler's Point?
It depends on your parcel. Settler's Point includes several sections with separate associations, such as the Settlers Point Owners Association, Settler's Point South and the Devon HOA. Check your CC&Rs to confirm which applies before a re-roof or tile color change.
Is it time to re-felt my Settler's Point roof?
If the underlayment is original, it likely is or soon will be. Homes built between 1994 and 1997 have underlayment near 30 years old, beyond its typical service life. An inspection will show whether it is still flexible or has become brittle and cracked.
What are signs of flashing problems on a Settler's Point home?
Stains near walls, chimneys or skylights, leaks that appear only in wind-driven rain, and visible gaps or rust where the roof meets a wall. On two-story homes, check ceilings below where a lower roof meets the upper wall, which is a common trouble spot.
How can Settler's Point homeowners prepare for monsoon season?
Before June 15, clear valleys and gutters, replace cracked tiles and have wall flashing checked, especially on two-story homes. With underlayment near 30 years old, a spring inspection is the best way to catch weak spots early. After storms, look for tiles in the yard and new ceiling stains.
