Service area
A 1917 cotton farm owned by a tire company, now a fast-growing West Valley city with most of its houses built after 1990.
About sixteen miles west of downtown Phoenix, along Interstate 10 at the foot of the Estrella Mountains.
Elevation, incorporation, census and area are public record. The climate zone is Maricopa County's, from the county table in the International Energy Conservation Code.
Conditions
At 968 feet, Goodyear is lower than downtown Phoenix and sits on the open western floor of the valley. Summer heat and sun are severe. Underlayment beneath tile dries and becomes brittle; plan for it on older roofs.
The southern part of the city rises into the Estrella Mountains, and washes carry storm runoff from them. On hillside lots, roof water should discharge where it will not erode the slope or flow toward the foundation.
Open desert, farmland and construction around the city give monsoon outflow plenty of dust. It fills tile valleys and gutters. Clear them after the season, before winter rains arrive.
Goodyear’s adopted codes page lists 2018 editions effective November 27, 2019. Nearby cities have since adopted 2024 editions, so confirm the current one with Building Safety before choosing the roof assembly.
The roofs here
Goodyear Tire and Rubber bought 16,000 acres here in 1917 to grow cotton for tire cords. When the town incorporated in 1946 it had 151 homes and 250 apartments. Little of that early housing remains, and what does needs its layers and deck checked before anything else.
Most of Goodyear’s construction and growth came after 1990, in master-planned communities such as Palm Valley and Estrella. That means large areas of concrete tile roofs from the 1990s and 2000s, now at the age for underlayment replacement on the oldest.
Phoenix Goodyear Airport and the industrial parks along the freeway carry hangars, warehouses and data and distribution buildings. Large low-slope and metal roofs dominate there. Drainage, seams and penetrations are the maintenance priorities.
Local building patterns help guide an inspection. Your roof’s actual condition, materials and repair history determine the recommendation.
Code and permits
Confirm the requirements for the building and proposed roof assembly. The links below go directly to the relevant authorities.
Goodyear’s currently adopted codes page lists the 2018 International Building, Residential, Energy Conservation and related codes and the 2017 National Electrical Code, effective November 27, 2019, with local amendments. Confirm with the Building Safety Division that this is still the edition in force.
Goodyear’s adopted codesMaricopa County is in IECC climate zone 2B, hot and dry. Arizona has no statewide energy code like California’s Title 24: the energy rules for a roof are the ones in the IECC edition the city has adopted, applied in that zone. Building type and roof slope still decide which of them apply to a given project.
The county climate zone guideMaricopa County publishes no special wind region list, so there is no county figure to quote for Goodyear; the design wind speed comes from the ASCE 7 maps for the individual site. Look the address up and confirm the figure with the building department. Wind load rises with the square of the speed, so a few miles an hour changes what the fastenings, the perimeter and the edge metal have to carry.
ATC Hazards by LocationCity of Goodyear Building Safety Division is the local authority for roofing permits. Establish the permit and inspection requirements for your project before work begins. Our Arizona license is ROC 367833.
