Gilbert grew from a small farm town into one of Arizona's largest cities in about 30 years, so most of its housing dates from the mid-1990s on. Two-story homes are common here. That makes roof work and exterior painting more expensive than on single-story ranches, because of access and safety setup.
Permits
The Town of Gilbert issues building permits and inspections through its Development Services. Patio covers, additions, casitas, pools and electrical upgrades need permits. Most HOAs also require design approval.
