Gallup-McKinley Roofing | Roofing Services in Gallup, NM 87301

Gallup's intense, high-altitude sunlight and significant daily temperature swings are the main culprits. The UV radiation degrades the asphalt in shingles, making them brittle, while the expansion and contraction from heat and cold cause them to crack. We use UV-resistant shingles and proper attic ventilation to combat this local issue.

Lifted flashing is often due to the same thermal expansion and contraction. As the roof structure moves with temperature changes, poorly installed or sealed flashing can work loose. Our repairs focus on using flexible, high-quality sealants and proper installation techniques to create a durable, weather-tight seal that can handle Gallup's climate.

Focus on the issues our climate creates. After winter, check for any new cracks in shingles from freeze-thaw cycles. Before and after monsoon season, inspect flashing around chimneys and vents for gaps or lifting, and look for granule loss in gutters from UV-damaged shingles. If you see these signs, give us a call for a professional assessment.
