We know Gilbert's growth years
Gilbert was incorporated in 1920 and was known as the Hay Capital of the World into the late 1920s. Its population was 29,188 in 1990 and 109,697 in 2000, so a very large share of its homes were built in that single decade and the ones after. Neighborhoods such as Val Vista Lakes, Power Ranch and Seville date from that growth, and Agritopia and the Heritage District reflect the town's farming roots. Homes of that age are reaching the first renewal cycle for roofs, windows and exterior paint.
Most Gilbert neighborhoods have an HOA, and paint, tile and window colors are commonly reviewed. We send the architectural request early because some boards meet monthly.
Concrete tile over underlayment is the dominant roof, and in 1990s and early 2000s homes the underlayment is now commonly at or past the end of its life. Many Gilbert homes are two-story with cut-up rooflines and numerous valleys, each valley being a flashing detail to check. Older downtown homes have different, simpler roofs and block walls.
The monsoon, June 15 to September 30, brings wind-driven rain across open suburban terrain. Two-story stucco homes show water intrusion at second-floor window corners and roof-to-wall joints first. We check those transitions at every walk.
Permits come from the Town of Gilbert Development Services Department, through the One Stop Shop at 90 E. Civic Center Drive, phone 480-503-6700. Applications are submitted online through the town's One Stop Shop portal, which handles residential permits. We confirm whether your scope needs a permit before we write the proposal.
