From Fraser Fields ranches to Las Sendas tile: how Mesa's roofs differ

Mesa grew outward from its original square-mile town site, and the roofs show each step. The Evergreen Historic District, platted in 1910, mixes bungalows with medium-pitch roofs, steep Tudor Revival gables, Pueblo Revival homes and postwar ranches with low pitches. Half a mile east of the old town site, Fraser Fields was subdivided in 1946 and built out with Early, Classic and California Ranch houses that originally wore shake. Some now carry composition on the main slopes with rolled or hot-mopped roofing on the flatter parts, and those flat parts are where water gets in.

Near Power Road and Broadway, Apache Country Club Estates still has its tiki-style tract homes with flat roofs, low pitches and A-frame gables. Dobson Ranch, built between 1973 and 1999 around a golf course and man-made lakes, runs from late-1970s composition roofs on its first units to newer homes in the later phases. Among the big 55-plus communities, Leisure World (1972 to 1994) has tile on homes from its first years, and Sunland Village (1974 to 1984) has composition.

The east side is younger. Las Sendas began in the mid-1990s in the Usery Mountain foothills and grew to roughly 3,400 homes, with tile the norm. Eastmark, which DMB laid out on the old GM Proving Grounds near Signal Butte and Ray, is still building, so its roofs are mostly new.

Usery foothill wind, monsoon bursts and HOA committees in Mesa

Summer storms come in hard here. In August 2025, a microburst near Greenfield Road and Main Street destroyed carports at an RV resort. Wind like that lifts loose ridge tile and drives rain under the field tile. That's why we set ridge caps in mastic and tuck weather blocker beneath each hip and ridge line on every tile roof we install.

Las Sendas homes sit higher and more exposed than most of Mesa, and steep drives and gated enclaves slow down staging. The community's CC&Rs send exterior renovations to its Architectural Review Committee, which has 30 days to rule on a complete submittal. Dobson Ranch has an Architectural Control Committee through The Dobson Association.

In the historic districts, the City of Mesa lists roofs among the work that needs a Certificate of Appropriateness. Replacing roofing with a similar material is exempt, so a shingle-for-shingle job on a Fraser Fields ranch stays simple. A change of material starts with a talk with the city's historic preservation officer.

Mesa roof costs, explained

From our price sheet, on a 3,000 sq ft roof: shingle runs about $11,250–$14,250, a tile underlayment replacement $33,000–$48,000 and a complete tile tear-off $57,000–$78,000. Foam over an existing flat roof is $4.75–$6 per square foot. See every range on our pricing page.

Your exact Mesa total moves with these:

• Size and pitch. A steep, two-story Las Sendas tile roof takes more time than a low ranch roof in Fraser Fields.
• Tile reuse. On an underlayment replacement we save and relay sound tile. Discontinued profiles need extra care and sometimes sourced replacements.
• Flat sections. Plenty of older Mesa homes have a low-slope area that needs its own system, usually foam.
• Decking. Plywood rotted by an old valley leak or failed hot-mop gets replaced.
• Access and approvals. Hillside lots, gates and HOA color rules add steps.
• Foam over or tear-off. Foam can often go over a sound flat roof, which saves the tear-off.
