Roofing services in Leisure World, Mesa, Arizona

Leisure World is a gated active adult community in east Mesa, ZIP 85206. It is technically an unincorporated county island, fully surrounded by the City of Mesa, and its homeowners association acts much like a local government, handling security, road repairs, trash service, building permits and code enforcement. Construction began in 1972 and finished in 1994, with homes built by Western Savings, Rossmoor and Dietz Crane Homes.

The community has 2,664 homes, including more than 2,100 single-family homes and nearly 500 condominiums and duplex-style homes, ranging from about 630 to 3,400 square feet. Amenities include two golf courses, 12 man-made lakes, an aquatic center, a fitness center and more than 150 clubs.

• Permits go through the association. Because Leisure World handles its own building permits and code enforcement, check with the HOA about permits and approvals before a re-roof or major repair.
• Roofs that have been replaced, maybe more than once. Homes are 30 to 50 years old. Most have been re-roofed, and patches from different decades are common.
• Low-slope and flat areas. Patios, carports and additions on homes of this era often have low-slope roofs that rely on coatings or foam and need recoating to stay watertight.
• Shared roofs on condos and duplexes. On attached homes, the roof may be shared or maintained by an association, so confirm responsibility before scheduling work.
• Gate access. We arrange entry with you in advance.

• 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.

We offer leak repairs, roof inspections, foam and elastomeric coatings for low-slope roofs, and complete re-roofs in shingle, tile or flat systems. Repairs include a 2 to 5 year warranty, and financing is available for larger projects.
