An inspector with a contracted roofing bench.
Every 'free inspection' in New Mexico is run by a company that will only make money if they get to replace your roof. We built Roof Doctor NM to be the opposite: paid by the homeowner, hired to tell the truth, and matched to a contracted and vetted bench of NM roofing companies who bid the scope we write — never the other way around.
Why we exist
New Mexico homeowners hand a roofing company the biggest single check they'll write on the house — often north of $18,000 — with almost no independent verification that the roof actually needed replacing, that the scope was reasonable, or that the contractor delivered what was promised. We built this practice to close that gap.
What we do
We inspect the roof, write a 20-page PDF report with photos and remaining-life estimates, produce a line-item scope of work any contractor can bid apples-to-apples, and — when you're ready — match you with 2–3 contractors from our contracted and vetted NM roofing bench. The match is based on your roof system, budget, warranty needs, and timeline. After the work is done we come back for a $149 punch-list re-inspection.
What we don't do
- Roof installation or replacement
- Repair labor
- Material sales
- Assignment-of-Benefits (AOB) contracts
- Negotiating insurance claims on your behalf (that requires a NM Public Adjuster license)
- Engineering stamps or structural certifications
- Legal advice
We are not a licensed contractor — that is intentional. Our primary revenue is the inspection and report fee paid by the homeowner. Because we do not sell or install roofs, our first incentive is to be right about the condition.
Local to New Mexico
On-site inspections cover Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Corrales, Bernalillo, Placitas, the East Mountains, Los Lunas, Belen, Edgewood, and Santa Fe. Remote bid review and scope-of-work documents are available anywhere by upload. We know exactly what the NM high desert does to a roof — thermal shock at altitude, UV that ages a 20-year shingle in 12, monsoon ponding on parapets — and our reports say so in writing.
Inspect. Specify. Match. Protect.
One inspector, four deliverables. You get an honest diagnosis, a written specification, a matched short list from our contracted and vetted NM contractor bench, and a second set of eyes on their bids and their work — with no financial interest in the outcome.
Independent inspection — 20-page PDF with photos, moisture, IR, and drone.
Written scope of work any NM contractor can bid apples-to-apples.
Matched to the right NM roofing company from a contracted and vetted bench.
We review their bids and verify the install. No sales pressure, no roofing crews.
Roof Doctor NM is an independent third party. We do not sell, install, or repair roofs — diagnosis comes first. When a matched bench contractor is hired, they may pay a flat, disclosed referral fee. The fee is fixed and disclosed to you in writing before you pick a contractor, so it cannot change what we recommend. Homeowner inspection fees remain our primary revenue.
