Borden Homes is a small historic district in central Tempe, along Una and Butte Avenues and 12th Street west of McClintock Drive. Its first houses went up in 1947 and 1948, and most were built before 1957.
The City describes the early homes as Early or Transitional Ranch, with low-pitched gable and hip roofs. Low slopes like these shed water slowly, so underlayment, edge metal and flashing details matter more than they would on a steep roof.
When a roofing job needs a City of Tempe permit, the application goes in online: the City says all applications must be submitted through its Citizen Access Portal. We file it and book the inspection for you, so you don't have to set up an account.
Underlayment suited to a low pitch.
Hip caps and gable edges rebuilt.
New metal at chimneys and walls.
Borden Homes is on the Tempe Historic Property Register, and the City has reviewed exterior changes like window replacements there. Check with the City's historic preservation office before changing roofing material or roof shape.
Water moves slowly across a low slope, so wind can push it under laps and flashing. Proper underlayment and edge metal for a low pitch solve most of it.
