Roofing in Albuquerque is a parapet and a canal until proven otherwise. Flat roofs hold water against the wall, canales clog with cottonwood trash and gravel, and the leak shows up inside far from the puddle. Membranes blister under high-desert sun and crack when a hot afternoon is followed by a cold night. Pitched shingle roofs in newer parts of town take wind and ultraviolet light, and they can dam ice after a wet snow even though this city is not a mountain cabin. A cooler curb is a penetration with a motor on it. Half the stains blamed on the field start there.
Look from the yard. Stains down the stucco under a canal, soft spots you can see at the edge, granules in a gutter, or a cooler pan that has been overflowing. Say whether the drip happens on monsoon wind, on a thaw the morning after snow, or whenever the cooler runs. Those three answers are three different repairs. Do not walk a membrane to inspect it yourself and punch a new hole. Say how old you think the covering is, and whether the deck has ever felt soft from below.
Ask for a written scope. Membrane or coating, parapet flashing, new or reset canales, boots, and the cooler curb if it stays. A coating over a dirty ponding roof is not a new roof. If the deck is rotten, ask how that is handled before the tear-off starts. Stucco repair at the parapet should be named. Ask who pulls the permit and who hauls debris. Pitched-roof houses should ask about underlayment and about ice along the eaves after a spring storm, without pretending the house sits in a heavy snow belt.
The daily swing is hard on coatings and flashings. Say the roof shape and what the ceiling did on the last storm or the last cold morning. Call the number on this page.
