Gilbert went from agricultural town to one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the country inside a generation, and almost all of it was built in the tile era. That means a large share of the housing is arriving at its first underlayment replacement together — predictable work, and a moment worth using properly. This page lists roofers serving Gilbert.
What Gilbert roofers handle
Tile underlayment replacement, the dominant job and often a first replacement.
HOA architectural submissions, near-universal across the town.
Foam and flat roofing on low-slope sections.
Solar detach and reset around a re-roof.
Ventilation upgrades over the original builder specification.
Decking work exposed once tile is lifted.
Licensing in Arizona
Arizona requires an ROC licence on any roofing job over $1,000 — labour plus materials combined, low enough that every real job is covered.
The classification matters, and this is where homeowners get caught:
- CR-42 — residential roofing only
- C-42 — commercial roofing only
- KA-42 — dual, covering both
A contractor holding only CR-42 cannot legally do commercial roofing, and vice versa. Check the classification, not just that a number exists.
Behind the licence sits four years of practical roofing experience at journeyman level or above within the last ten years, documented and verified, plus a bond — a minimum of $1,000 for residential licensees. Verify any licence with the Registrar of Contractors before signing.
One scope limit worth knowing: a CR-42 licensee may replace up to three sheets (96 square feet) of roof decking. Beyond that, the work needs a different classification. If a tear-off exposes widespread rot, ask who is doing that part.
What’s specific to Gilbert
First replacements are arriving together. Where whole subdivisions went up within a couple of years to the same specification, their underlayment ages together. Streets replace in the same season, and contractors who have already done several nearby know exactly what is underneath yours.
The builder specification is worth improving on. Volume builders fit to a budget, and underlayment grade and ventilation were rarely generous. A first replacement is the cheapest moment to upgrade both, and in this heat the difference is measurable in years.
Re-using tile keeps the HOA simple. Keeping the original tile means no change in appearance and no approval problem, as well as a much lower price than new tile.
Solar is common on this stock. Re-roofing under an array means detaching and resetting it — a separate cost, often a separate contractor, needing sequencing before tear-off.
Heat, no hail. Ultraviolet and deck temperature do the ageing, so ventilation and underlayment grade are what decide roof life.
Pricing expectations
Gilbert figures for 2026, as published by local roofing companies:
- Tile underlayment renewal, tile lifted and reset: $8,000–$14,000 on a 2,000–2,500 sq ft home — against $15,000–$25,000 for full tile replacement
- Tile lift-and-relay labour: about $7–$12 per square foot
- Asphalt shingle replacement: $9,000–$15,000 on a 2,000–2,500 sq ft home; another local company publishes $8,000–$15,000 across Gilbert and surrounding Maricopa County, with concrete or clay tile at $15,000–$28,000
- Per square foot installed: asphalt $5.00–$7.00; clay or concrete tile $8.95–$18.00; metal $10.00–$18.00; spray foam on flat or low-slope $4.00–$7.00
- Tear-off and disposal: $1.00–$3.00 per square foot. Structural deck repairs $500–$3,000+. Labour averaging $65 per hour
- Peak monsoon season (July–September) adds 15–25% to labour against October–March, and pushes schedules out two to four weeks
Gilbert has the clearest seasonal pricing signal on this site. One local contractor publishes it outright: book between October and March and you pay 15 to 25 percent less in labour than in the July-to-September monsoon window, when schedules also run two to four weeks longer. On a $12,000 job that is real money for a decision that costs nothing. The other Gilbert distinction is the same one that runs through the Phoenix metro: tile lasts 50 to 100 years and the underlayment beneath it is replaced every 20 to 30 years, so the common local job is a lift-and-relay at roughly half the price of a replacement. On permits, be careful what you are told: contractors publish that Chandler and Gilbert both require one, but there are indications the Town exempts re-roofing that adds no structural load — the Town of Gilbert’s own site could not be read to settle it, so treat the permit question as open and ask the Town directly rather than either contractor’s summary.
These are ranges local roofing companies publish for this metro rather than survey data, so treat them as a bracket to check a quote against, not a price list.
Two contract items: whether the quote is a tile lift-and-relay or a full tile replacement, and whether the work is scheduled in the monsoon window, given the published 15–25% labour premium.

How this directory helps
Every roofer here is listed with business name, address and phone so you can verify them yourself.
Three questions sort Gilbert contractors. Ask for the ROC number and classification — CR-42 is residential only. On a first replacement, ask what they would change from the builder specification. And ask whether existing tile is re-used.
