With only 9" of rain per year in Gilbert, moisture-related wear is less of a concern than UV and heat exposure — material durability under sun, not water damage, is the bigger factor. The swing between a 57°F average low and 85°F average high here (a 28-degree daily range) puts real thermal expansion and contraction stress on roofing materials and fasteners over time, which can accelerate wear at seams and flashing. Average highs near 85°F in Gilbert mean sustained UV and heat exposure — lighter, reflective materials can meaningfully reduce heat absorption and slow degradation compared to darker roofing.
With summer highs this intense in Gilbert, extreme heat can soften roofing materials during installation and make working conditions difficult for crews — many contractors here prefer scheduling major work outside the peak of summer when possible.
Lighter-colored or reflective materials — metal roofing in particular — hold up better than dark asphalt under Gilbert's sustained heat, since dark asphalt absorbs more heat and tends to degrade faster under intense UV exposure, and metal here typically lasts 40-70 years versus asphalt's 20-25 (shorter in extreme heat/UV areas).
Yes — Arizona requires roofing contractors to hold a valid license through Arizona Registrar of Contractors. Always verify a contractor's license status directly with Arizona Registrar of Contractors before hiring, not just by taking their word for it.

Gilbert averages 9 inches of rain per year, with average temperatures ranging from 57°F to 85°F. Homeowners here should factor local weather patterns into material choice and maintenance timing — a contractor familiar with the area can advise on what performs best given these conditions.
