Asphalt shingle roofing remains the most common choice for homes throughout Albuquerque because it balances cost, appearance, and performance.

How shingle roofing installation is done

When we install a new shingle roof in Albuquerque, the first step is removing the old roofing material and inspecting the decking for damage or rot. We replace any compromised sections, then install underlayment and drip edge before laying the shingles. Each shingle is fastened according to manufacturer specifications, and we ensure proper alignment and overlap to prevent wind uplift and water intrusion during monsoon season.

Once the installation is finished, your home will have a uniform, clean roofline with no missing or misaligned shingles. The roof will shed water effectively during heavy rain, and the surface will resist cracking and curling under direct sun for years. You will also notice improved attic ventilation if we addressed airflow issues during the project, which helps reduce heat buildup in the summer.

Shingle roofing is suitable for nearly all residential roof pitches and works well on homes with complex layouts or multiple roof planes. It does not require special structural reinforcement the way tile or slate roofing sometimes does. Shingles are available in a wide range of colors, so you can match your home's existing palette or update the appearance entirely.

What homeowners usually want to know

Before scheduling a shingle roof replacement, most homeowners in Albuquerque ask about lifespan, weather performance, and how to tell when it is time for a new roof.

How long does an asphalt shingle roof last?
In Albuquerque, a quality asphalt shingle roof typically lasts between twenty and thirty years depending on the shingle type, installation quality, and sun exposure. Architectural shingles tend to outlast three-tab shingles due to their thicker construction and better wind resistance.
What signs indicate I need a roof replacement?
You should consider replacement if you see widespread granule loss, curling or cracked shingles, dark streaks from algae, or multiple areas where water has entered the attic. If your roof is over twenty years old and showing several of these signs, replacement is usually the better option than ongoing repairs.
How do shingles perform in Albuquerque's climate?
Shingles handle the dry heat and intense UV exposure in Albuquerque well, though they do degrade faster than metal or tile over time. Proper attic ventilation and light-colored shingles can help extend the life of the roof by reducing heat absorption.
What is the difference between architectural and three-tab shingles?
Architectural shingles are thicker, more durable, and have a dimensional appearance that adds texture to the roofline. Three-tab shingles are lighter, less expensive, and have a flat, uniform look. Both provide good protection, but architectural shingles last longer and resist wind damage better.
When is the best time to replace a shingle roof in Albuquerque?
Spring and fall are ideal because temperatures are moderate and weather is generally stable. Summer heat can make shingles harder to handle, and winter cold can affect adhesive activation, though replacements can be done year-round if needed.
