When your Albuquerque roof has fought its last monsoon season, when the sun has baked the life out of your shingles, and when repairs no longer make financial sense—it’s replacement time. But in our unique high-desert climate, not just any roof will do. At Just Roofing & Gutters, we’ve specialized in Albuquerque roof replacements since 2014, replacing hundreds of roofs across every neighborhood. We understand that what works in Dallas or Denver fails here in 5-7 years. That’s why we engineer every replacement specifically for Albuquerque’s brutal combination of intense UV, dramatic temperature swings, sudden hail storms, and seasonal winds that test every seam and fastener.
Definite Replacement Indicators:
Multiple Leaks: Water stains in different areas of your home
Extensive Granule Loss: Gutters filled with shingle granules year-round
Widespread Curling/Cracking: Over 30% of shingles showing significant wear
Sunlight in Attic: Visible daylight through roof decking in multiple spots
Sagging Roofline: Structural decking compromised by moisture
Age + Storm Damage: Original roof over 20 years old with recent hail/wind damage
Albuquerque-Specific Red Flags:
South-Facing Shingles Completely Bare: UV degradation concentrated on sun-exposed slopes
Repeated Flashing Failures: Multiple leaks around chimneys and vents despite repairs
Energy Bills Spiking: Poor insulation and ventilation causing AC overwork

Most Albuquerque homes take 3-5 days from tear-off to completion, weather permitting. We provide a detailed schedule and monitor monsoon forecasts closely.
