Q&A
Why is my roof underlayment cracking in Espanola, and how can Richards Roofing help?
The intense, dry sun in our area can bake and prematurely dry out standard underlayment, causing it to crack and lose its waterproofing ability. We combat this by using high-quality, UV-resistant synthetic underlayments designed for our specific climate. Our installation process ensures proper ventilation and sealing to protect this critical layer, extending the life of your entire roof system.
My concrete roof tiles are slipping. Is this common in Espanola, and what's the fix?
Yes, it's a frequent issue here. The combination of high winds, thermal expansion from temperature swings, and improper initial fastening can cause tiles to shift. Richards Roofing performs a thorough inspection to identify the root cause. Our repair involves securing loose tiles with appropriate, corrosion-resistant fasteners and often adding a specialized adhesive or clip system to prevent future movement, ensuring your tile roof stays secure.
What should I look for in a new roof to prevent these common Espanola problems?
Focus on materials and methods proven for our climate. A quality roof here should include a synthetic, high-temperature underlayment, proper attic ventilation to reduce heat buildup, and tiles or shingles installed with a system that allows for expansion and contraction. At Richards Roofing, we design every roof with these local factors in mind, using products and techniques that directly address the drying and slippage issues common in the Espanola valley.
