Roofing services in Chandler Heights, Queen Creek, Arizona

Chandler Heights began in 1928, when Dr. A.J. Chandler and the Chandler Improvement Company created the Chandler Heights Citrus District along the old Hunt Highway east of Chandler. The site's elevation and the shelter of the San Tan Mountains helped protect the groves from frost, and the district shipped its first crop in 1931. Dr. Chandler also built a small Spanish Colonial plaza here with stucco homes and red tile roofs. The community was small for decades; the 1960 census counted 75 residents.

Today the old 85227 ZIP code has been retired and Chandler Heights addresses use Queen Creek. Much of the area keeps its rural feel, with homes on large lots, many with irrigated land, citrus or mature trees, and extra buildings such as casitas, guest houses, barns and workshops. Newer gated neighborhoods have been built alongside the older properties.

• Every property is different. Homes here were built across many decades, so a roof can be anything from an older shingle or flat roof to new concrete tile. A roof inspection is the best starting point.
• Outbuildings have roofs too. Casitas, guest houses, barns and workshops often use a different roof type than the main house, and they tend to be checked less often.
• Trees and groves. Citrus and mature shade trees drop leaves into valleys, gutters and flat-roof drains, and branches that touch the roof wear down shingles and tile edges.
• Large, complex custom rooflines. Custom homes on acreage often have many valleys, hips and roof-to-wall joints. These flashing points are where we most often trace leaks.
• Check your jurisdiction. Parts of the area are in Queen Creek and some properties may still sit on unincorporated county land, so permit rules for a re-roof depend on the exact address.

• 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 handle roof leak repairs, inspections for owners and buyers of Chandler Heights properties, tile re-felts and full re-roofs, and repairs on shingle, foam and coated flat roofs on main homes and outbuildings.
