Living in the Land of Enchantment usually means enjoying plenty of sunshine, but as we’ve seen with the recent rainfall across the Greater Albuquerque area this November, our weather can be unpredictable. With 2025 shaping up to be a wetter-than-average year for the Duke City, your roof is working overtime to keep your property dry.

At Enchanted Roofing, LLC, we want to ensure your home or business is prepared for whatever the skies bring next. Here is what you need to know about maintenance precautions and replacement options following our recent storms.

Post-Rain Maintenance: What to Look For

Even a small amount of standing water or a minor leak can turn into a major structural issue if left unchecked. Now that the clouds have parted, we recommend taking a few minutes to inspect your property:

  • Check Your Ceilings and Walls: Look for new water spots, bubbling paint, or discoloration on your interior ceilings and walls. These are often the first silent signs of a roof leak.

  • Inspect Your Gutters: The recent winds and rain may have filled your gutters with debris. If you see an excessive amount of granules (which look like sand) in your downspouts, your asphalt shingles might be nearing the end of their lifespan.

  • Flat Roof Drainage (Commercial & Residential): For our customers with flat roofs, ensure that water isn't pooling significantly (ponding) 48 hours after the rain stops. Standing water is a primary enemy of flat roofing systems.

  • Missing or Damaged Materials: Do a visual check from the ground. Are any shingles missing? Is the flashing around your chimney or vents pulling away?

Time for a Change? Replacement Options

If the recent weather has revealed that your roof is beyond simple repairs, Enchanted Roofing offers top-tier replacement options designed to withstand the unique New Mexico high-desert climate:

  • TPO Roofing: An excellent choice for flat or low-slope roofs (common in Albuquerque commercial buildings and Pueblo-style homes). TPO is heat-reflective and highly resistant to UV rays and punctures.

  • Asphalt Shingles: We offer high-quality architectural shingles that provide superior wind resistance and aesthetic appeal for traditional sloped roofs.

  • Metal Roofing: Durable, long-lasting, and energy-efficient, metal roofs are incredibly resistant to heavy rain, snow, and wind.

  • Tile Roofing: A classic Southwest look that offers incredible durability and thermal performance.

Don't Let Budget Worries Delay Repairs: Financing is Available

We understand that roof maintenance or a full replacement is a significant investment, and it often comes at an unexpected time. You shouldn't have to choose between financial stability and a safe, dry roof over your head.

Enchanted Roofing, LLC offers financing options to help you manage the cost of your project. We can help you find a payment plan that fits your budget so you can address leaks and storm damage immediately—before they cause more expensive damage to your home’s structure.
