Roofing services in The Groves, Mesa, Arizona
The Groves is an established area of east-central Mesa in ZIP codes 85205 and 85213, around Lindsay and Val Vista roads near University Drive. Most homes were built between 1970 and 1999, alongside some 55+ manufactured-home and RV communities, so roofs here are usually on a second covering and include plenty of shingle and low-slope roofs.
About The Groves
The Groves is the name used for a broad area of east-central Mesa covering parts of ZIP codes 85205 and 85213, with homes along streets such as Lindsay Road, Val Vista Drive and University Drive. It is not a single HOA community. About 85 percent of its homes were built between 1970 and 1999, with some newer homes added since.
Housing is varied: mid-size and large single-family homes, apartment complexes, and several 55+ communities with manufactured homes and park models. The area has four parks, access to the Eastern Canal path, and views of the Superstition Mountains.
Roofing considerations for The Groves homes
- Second and third roofs. Most homes are 25 to 55 years old and have been re-roofed at least once. The current roof's age matters more than the home's.
- Shingle and flat roofs are common. Homes from the 1970s and 1980s often have asphalt shingle or tile roofs with flat or low-slope sections over patios and additions.
- Manufactured homes. Manufactured homes and park models usually have low-slope metal or membrane roofs that do best with a reflective coating renewed on a regular schedule.
- Old penetrations. Former cooler openings, vents and antenna mounts leave patched holes that can leak.
- No single set of rules. Some homes are in an HOA or park community with roof rules and some are not, so check before choosing materials or colors.
How Arizona weather affects roofs in The 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.

My home in The Groves was built in the 1970s or 1980s. What kind of roof work is typical?
Usually a re-roof or repairs to a previous re-roof. Shingle roofs typically last 20 to 30 years in Arizona, and flat sections need recoating every several years. Many homes here have a mix of materials from different decades, so an inspection is the best way to see what you have.
How do I maintain the roof on a manufactured home in The Groves?
Keep a reflective coating on it. Most manufactured homes have low-slope roofs that depend on a coating to stay watertight and reflect heat. Recoating before the surface cracks or exposes seams prevents most leaks. Check your park community's rules before work begins.
Is a cool roof coating worth it on an older Mesa home?
On flat and low-slope roofs, often yes. White or reflective coatings lower how much heat the roof absorbs, which can make the rooms below more comfortable, and they protect foam and membranes from UV. How much difference it makes depends on the roof and its insulation.
How can homeowners in The Groves prepare for monsoon season?
Clear flat-roof drains and gutters, trim trees away from the roof, and have worn shingles, cracked coatings and old patches looked at before June 15. Older roofs often reveal their weak spots in the first heavy monsoon downpour, so earlier is better.
