Tile · shingle · flat roofs
Roofing Contractor in Gilbert, AZ
An Arizona roof lives a harder life than almost any other roof in the country. Ten months of punishing UV bake the flexibility out of shingles and underlayment, then monsoon season arrives with wind-driven rain, microbursts, and dust storms that find every weakness the sun created. Masizo Development & Restorations repairs and replaces tile, shingle, and flat roofs across Gilbert and the Phoenix Valley — and because we are also a licensed, IICRC-certified restoration contractor, we are one of the few roofers who can repair the water damage inside your home under the same job and the same insurance claim.
Every roofing job starts the same way: a free, full-roof inspection and a written estimate, with no obligation. Call (602) 909-7630 or request your inspection.

Free inspection
Start with a real inspection, not a guess
A leak stain on your ceiling tells you water got in — it does not tell you where. Water travels along rafters, underlayment, and drywall before it shows itself, so the entry point is often several feet from the stain. That is why we inspect the entire roof, not just the area above the drip: field tiles or shingles, underlayment condition, flashing at every penetration (vents, skylights, satellite mounts), valleys where water concentrates, and the parapets and drains on flat sections.
You get the findings in writing: what we found, what it needs, and what it costs. If the roof needs a $400 repair, that is what the paper says. If it is at the end of its life, we will show you why — photos included — so the replace decision is made on evidence, not pressure.
The honest call
Repair or replace: how we call it
Repair is the right answer more often than roofing ads suggest. A slipped tile, a failed pipe-jack boot, cracked flashing, or a localized underlayment tear can be fixed for a small fraction of replacement cost, and when the rest of the roof is healthy, that is what we recommend.
Replacement earns its cost in a different situation: when the underlayment or shingle field is failing broadly, every storm opens a new leak, and each repair buys months instead of years. At that point patching is the expensive option — you pay repair prices repeatedly while interior damage accumulates between visits. Our rule is simple: we tell you which situation you are in, and we put the reasoning in the written estimate so you can get a second opinion on the same facts.
Roof systems
Roof systems we work on
Tile roofs. Here is the thing most Valley homeowners are never told: concrete and clay tile is not the waterproof layer. Tile is armor for the underlayment beneath it — and that underlayment, not the tile, is what dries out and fails after a couple of decades of attic heat. A tile roof can look perfect from the street and leak like a basket. Our tile work includes lifting and relaying tile to replace failed underlayment, repairing broken or slipped tiles, and rebedding ridge and hip lines.
Shingle roofs. Asphalt shingles in Arizona fail from the sun as much as from storms — granule loss, curling, and brittle edges that monsoon winds then peel. We repair wind damage and flashing failures, and replace shingle roofs with materials rated for high-heat performance.
Flat and low-slope roofs. Common on Valley additions, patios, and territorial-style homes, flat roofs depend on their coating and on drainage. Ponding water, cracked coatings, and failed scuppers are the usual suspects; we repair, re-coat, and rebuild these sections so water leaves the roof instead of finding a way through it.
Storm season
Monsoon season and storm damage
From roughly June through September, the Valley's storms arrive violently: straight-line winds, horizontal rain, and haboobs that drive dust under flashing. The best money you can spend is before the season — a pre-monsoon inspection catches the slipped tile or cracked boot while it is a repair instead of a flooded hallway. After a storm, walk your yard and look for tile fragments or shingle pieces; if you find any, or if a stain appears on a ceiling, get the roof inspected before the next storm widens the opening.
Between seasons, two habits protect a Valley roof cheaply. First, keep drainage clear: leaves and dust dams in valleys, gutters, and flat-roof scuppers make water pond exactly where roofs are weakest. Second, look up occasionally — from the ground, with binoculars if you have them. Slipped or cracked tiles, lifted shingle edges, and rust streaks below flashing are all visible from the driveway, and every one of them is cheaper the month you spot it than the season after.
If a storm has already put water in your house, do not wait on the roofing schedule — our 24/7 restoration team handles the emergency dry-out, and the roof repair follows as part of the same project.
Insurance claims
Roof insurance claims, documented properly
Storm damage to a roof may be covered by your homeowner's policy, and the difference between a smooth claim and a frustrating one is usually documentation. Our process: we inspect and photograph the damage, separate storm damage from pre-existing wear (insurers will, so we do it first), help you file, and meet your adjuster on the roof to walk the evidence together.
What we will not do is promise that insurance will pay — no contractor controls that decision, and you should be wary of any roofer who sells a free roof before an adjuster has seen it. What we can do that most roofers cannot: when the claim includes interior water damage, our restoration license (AZ ROC #347030) and IICRC certification let us repair the ceilings, walls, insulation, and flooring under the same claim and the same contractor. One company, one scope, one responsible party — instead of a roofer, a mitigation company, and a drywall sub all pointing at each other.
How it works
How a roofing project runs
- Free inspection. The whole roof, documented with photos, whether you called about a leak, a replacement, or a storm.
- Written estimate — or claim support. Straight pricing for repair or replacement; if it is storm damage, we document and work with your adjuster instead.
- The work. Repairs are typically quick, scheduled fast. Replacements include full tear-off of the old roofing, inspection of the decking underneath, new underlayment and surface, and the permit and final city inspection where the scope requires one — we pull it and book it.
- Walkthrough and cleanup. We walk the finished work with you, and your yard gets a magnet sweep for nails before we call it done.

Good to know
Roofing questions, answered.
Is the roof inspection really free?
Yes. We inspect the full roof — not just the spot that is leaking — and put our findings and pricing in writing, at no charge and with no obligation. That applies whether the job turns out to be a small repair, a full replacement, or an insurance claim.
Will my insurance pay for a new roof?
It depends on your policy and on what caused the damage. Storm damage is often covered; wear from age usually is not. We document the damage thoroughly, help you file, and meet the adjuster on your roof — but the coverage decision is always your insurer's to make, and we will never promise an outcome we do not control.
How do I know whether to repair or replace my roof?
If the roof structure and most of the surface are sound, a targeted repair is usually the right call, and we will say so. Replacement makes sense when the roof is near the end of its service life and each repair is just a down payment on the next leak. We give you that verdict, with reasons, after a free inspection.
Can you fix the water damage inside the house too?
Yes — this is where we differ from most roofers. We hold an Arizona restoration license (AZ ROC #347030) and IICRC certification alongside our contracting license, so the stained ceiling, wet insulation, and damaged drywall under the leak are repaired by the same company, under the same claim.
What types of roofs do you work on?
Tile, asphalt shingle, and flat/low-slope roofs — the three systems that cover most Valley homes. On tile roofs, the fix is usually in the underlayment beneath the tiles, which is where those roofs almost always fail.
How long do roofs last in Arizona?
Rules of thumb: asphalt shingles often run 15–25 years here, flat-roof coatings need attention roughly every 5–10 years, and tile itself can last 50 years or more — but the underlayment beneath tile typically needs replacement around the 20–30 year mark. Arizona sun shortens every one of those ranges compared to milder climates, which is why age plus a leak usually means it is time for an inspection.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Arizona general contracting license AZ ROC #336058, Arizona restoration license AZ ROC #347030, California license CA LIC #1107781, and we are insured. Check any Arizona contractor's license status yourself on the AZ ROC website before hiring — including ours.
