Roofing contractors in New Mexico must hold a license from the Construction Industries Division of the state Regulation and Licensing Department. Contractors can also join the New Mexico Roofing Contractors Association (NMRCA), although this is not mandatory. The NMRCA works to enforce high standards for roofers, and to connect contractors with peers, governmental agencies and the public.
You can use a number of criteria to choose the best roofer near you, including:
The cost of roof repair varies widely depending on what repairs are required. The average across all of New Mexico is about $774, but to know for sure you should ask a local contractor directly.
The cost of roof replacements varies depending on your location, and is influenced by factors like the material used, the size and accessibility of your roof, and how many stories your home has. The average cost of roof replacement in New Mexico is about $7,341.
When hiring a roofing contractor from a different state, make sure you're aware of New Mexico's contractor licensing requirements (see above). Any contractors who work on your home must be licensed in the state that it's in.
Slate is the most expensive roofing material at about $15 to $40 per square foot. In contrast, asphalt shingles cost $4.50 on average, making them the most budget-friendly option.
After installation, do a visual check of your new roof. Confirm that it’s even and uniform, and that the contractor didn’t reuse any flashing, because this could make your roof susceptible to leaks. Also look for underlayment between the shingles and the sheathing of your house. This also reduces the chance of leaks, and it extends the lifespan of your roof.
