Windy Season is here.

Every spring, Albuquerque is hit with very windy afternoons that can cause damage to your roof. Some days the winds get so high, we must stop working on roofs because of how dangerous it can be, especially on pitched roofs. The high winds can blow off tile, shingle and even rip apart weak metal panels. As a homeowner, it’s important to get repairs done soon after the damage occurs before it becomes any worse. Shingles are the most common roofing material to get damaged in the high winds.

Although we install other shingle manufacturers, we prefer Owens Corning Duration Series. The Duration Series shingles have up to 2.5X nail pull-through resistance, up to 9X nail blow-through resistance and up to 2x delamination resistance. These shingles have a triple layer protection against nail pull from the wind and has a wind resistance of 130-MPH.

Please give us a call if you need an estimate on blown off shingle repair or replacement! We are happy to help.

NEW! TPO Roof Remodel

This roof took our TPO crew two days to complete. The project came out to twenty-four squares or 2,400 square feet. We had six TPO specialists on the first day, working from 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM and eight TPO roofing specialists work from 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM on the second day.

Our crew tore off two roofing layers to the deck and replaced the existing canales with new TPO canales. We mechanically fastened 1/2" thick expanded polystyrene insulation over the roof substrate and also mechanically fastened 60 mil TPO (tan color) and welded together. Next, we installed a TPO metal termination strip at the top outside corner of all parapet walls plus boots on all penetrations; clamped and caulked.

Our crew inspected and probed all seams and detail work. We replaced three - 2X2 skylights and three - 2X4 skylights. Finally, we hauled off all trash (including an old satellite dish) and left the premises clean. Our roofing crew used all the appropriate safety procedures, such as wearing hard hats, safety ropes, tying off the ladder, etc.

This new roof carries a twelve year labor warranty and twenty year material warranty. We pulled a permit through the city and passed final inspection.
