Trusted Roof Repair & Installation Contractors in Rio Rancho, NM

Although Roof-overs are not generally recommended, it can be an option if your main concern on a roofing project is price. Roof-overs can change the overall cost of a project because it will reduce the amount of man hours required to do the job, on average the job will drop about $1,000 to $4,000 less. The reason a roof-over is not generally recommended is because pre-existing issues that may exist with water barriers or substrates may be found during the initial tear off of the roof. Also, due to the IRC (International Residential Code) a maximum of 2 roof coverings are allowed on a residential home. On the other hand a roof that has previously been roofed over could cause the project to spike up in cost. This means that if you already have 2 roof layers, the additional layer of roof may cause the contractor to charge you more because of the additional labor hours that would be required to tear of the additional layer.

Metal, shingle, tile, slate, rubber, all of these roofing systems have different uses and not all are suitable for certain roof layouts etc. Not all roofs are made alike. Because of this, we recommend speaking to a roof specialist about the different materials and brands available to you. A roofing specialist will consider things like Building codes, roof layouts, present roofing components, manufacturer specs, and local weather patterns to make an informed decision on what type of roof would be most appropriate for your home.

A roofing project timeline can have many determining factors, for example roof complexity, project size, material type, project accessibility, and weather can play a role when determining a project timeline. With that being said most contractors should have a time range available to provide to their client, on average a standard size home receiving a shingle roof replacement in Albuquerque can expect a timeline anywhere from 1-3 days.
