Service area
A 1920s Goodyear company village around the Wigwam resort, with tree-lined streets and older houses, about seventeen miles west of downtown Phoenix.
The West Valley, between Goodyear and Avondale, north of Interstate 10.
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 1,053 feet in the western valley, summer heat is long and intense. Shade trees help but do not protect the whole roof. Sun-facing slopes need checking for brittle shingles and dried underlayment.
With mature trees, gutters and roof drains clog faster. A blocked downspout during a monsoon burst sends water over the gutter and against the wall. Clean them before July and again in the fall.
Monsoon gusts break limbs. A fallen branch can crack tile, puncture shingles or tear flashing. After a strong storm, look for impact damage on any roof under trees.
ZIP code 85340 covers much more than the city itself; many addresses in it are in unincorporated Maricopa County. Confirm that a property is within Litchfield Park’s limits before applying for a city permit.
The roofs here
Paul Litchfield of Goodyear Tire and Rubber came in 1916 looking for land to grow long-staple cotton, and the Postal Service accepted the name Litchfield Park in 1926. The Wigwam opened to the public in 1929. The older core has houses from the company years and after, with pitched roofs that may have been re-covered several times.
Plans in the 1960s to expand the town to 90,000 residents fell short, leaving a smaller city of mostly single-family houses. Roofs range from shingle and clay tile to flat sections over additions. Each change in material is a place to inspect.
Litchfield Park has more large shade trees than most of the valley. Leaves and branches fill gutters and valleys, keep sections of roof damp after rain and scratch roof surfaces in wind. Trimming and cleaning are part of roof care here.
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.
Litchfield Park adopts its own editions of the International Codes. The edition currently in force was not confirmed for this page. Ask Building Safety which edition governs the permit before the roof assembly is specified.
Litchfield Park Building SafetyMaricopa 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 Litchfield Park; 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.
