JLB Roofing and Remodeling | Roofing Services in Chaparral, NM 88081

Chaparral's intense, year-round sun is the main culprit. UV radiation degrades traditional flashing materials, making them brittle. This, combined with our temperature swings, causes the metal to expand and contract, leading to cracks and separation at the roof edges. We install UV-resistant and properly sized flashing to withstand these local conditions.

It depends on the extent of the damage. For minor separation or small cracks, a targeted repair with matching, high-quality materials is often sufficient. However, if the flashing is extensively brittle or corroded, a full replacement is recommended to prevent water intrusion and more costly damage to your roof deck or interior.

For durability in Chaparral, we recommend and install heavier-gauge, UV-resistant metal flashing like aluminum or coated steel. The key is not just the material, but also the installation technique—ensuring proper overlap, secure fastening, and integration with your roof's underlayment to create a continuous, reliable barrier against wind and rare but heavy rain.
