FAQs – Shingle Roofing Las Cruces
How long does a shingle roof last in Las Cruces?
It depends on shingle type, installation quality, attic ventilation, and maintenance. Strong sun and heat can age materials faster, so inspections help you catch issues early.
Are architectural shingles better than 3-tab shingles?
In most cases, yes. Architectural shingles are thicker, tend to resist wind better, and usually offer a longer service life than 3-tab.
Are impact-resistant shingles worth it in Las Cruces?
Often, yes—especially if your area gets frequent wind-driven storms. We’ll explain the upgrade cost and whether it makes sense for your roof and budget.
Can you repair storm-damaged shingles without replacing the whole roof?
Yes, if the damage is localized and the roof system is still in good condition. We’ll inspect the full roof to confirm there aren’t other weak points.
Do you offer same or next-day shingle roof inspections?
Often, yes. During heavy storm events we prioritize active leaks first, then schedule repairs as quickly as conditions allow.
Can you help with insurance documentation for shingle damage?
Yes. We can document visible damage with photos and provide a clear scope so you can make informed decisions before filing.
Can you match my existing shingle color for a repair?
We’ll get as close as possible. Exact matches can be tricky due to weathering and discontinued lines, but we’ll show realistic options before we proceed.
Can I add a second layer of shingles over my old roof?
Sometimes code allows it, but a full tear-off is often the better long-term choice. It lets us inspect decking and install underlayment and flashings correctly.
