Roofing services in Sunland Village, Mesa, Arizona
Sunland Village is a 55+ community of about 2,685 homes in east Mesa, between Broadway Road and Southern Avenue near Greenfield Road. Farnsworth built it from 1974 to 1984, so its roofs are on their second or later covering, and shingle color choices go through the association's architectural committee.
About Sunland Village
Sunland Village is a 55+ active adult community in east Mesa, ZIP 85206. Its main entrance is at Diamond Avenue and Greenfield Road, and the community extends from Broadway Road to Southern Avenue. It was the second of four Farnsworth developments in the East Valley, with homes built from 1974 to 1984. It is not gated.
About 2,685 homes include single-family homes, villas and condos, and many single-family homes have carports. Residents share three pools, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center and an activity center with an auditorium, and the 18-hole Sunland Village Golf Club is next door.
Roofing considerations for Sunland Village homes
- Approved shingle colors. The association's Architectural Control Committee reviews exterior projects and publishes approved shingle colors. Get approval before a re-roof.
- Roofs well past their original life. Homes are 40 to 50 years old, so most have been re-roofed. The current roof's age matters more than the home's.
- Carports and low-slope areas. Carports and patio covers are often low-slope and depend on coatings that need periodic renewal.
- Attached villas and condos. Shared roofs and walls mean a leak can start on one unit and show up next door. Confirm who is responsible under your CC&Rs.
How Arizona weather affects roofs in Sunland Village
- 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.

Do I need approval to re-roof my Sunland Village home?
Yes, plan on it. The Architectural Control Committee reviews exterior projects and publishes a list of approved shingle colors. Submit your request before the work is scheduled. We can give you the manufacturer and color details you need for the application.
How long will a new shingle roof last on a Sunland Village home?
Asphalt shingles typically last about 20 to 30 years in the Arizona sun. The exact life depends on the shingle line, attic ventilation and how well the roof is maintained. Architectural shingles generally hold up better than older 3-tab styles.
My carport roof in Sunland Village leaks. Can it be repaired?
Usually, yes. Carport roofs are often low-slope and protected by a coating that wears thin under constant sun. Cleaning, repairing seams and recoating will often solve it. If the deck underneath has rotted, that section may need to be rebuilt first.
What roof checks should Sunland Village owners do before the monsoon?
From the ground, look for curled or missing shingles and peeling carport coatings, and check ceilings for new stains. Clear gutters and have worn flashing resealed before June 15. Seasonal residents should arrange a check before leaving for the summer.
