What 'cool roof' actually saves in ABQ

White and reflective roofs aren't a marketing gimmick here — they pay back in real dollars.

A white TPO or reflective-coated flat roof reflects 75–85% of solar radiation vs. 15–25% for dark surfaces. In ABQ that translates to attic temps 25–35°F cooler at peak summer.

Real customer data: cool-roof retrofits typically cut summer cooling bills 12–25% on single-story homes with poorly insulated attics.

The Federal ENERGY STAR rebate plus PNM's energy-efficiency rebate can knock $400–$1,200 off a qualifying coating job. We file the paperwork at no charge.

What people say after James walks their roof

Three roofers wanted $32k after the June hailstorm. Roof Doctor NM walked the roof, took 84 photos, and said the hail was cosmetic. Saved me from a fraudulent claim.

Under contract on a Corrales house. The pre-purchase report caught two hidden layers the seller's disclosure missed. Got an $18k credit at closing.

Bid review flagged that the 'lifetime warranty' voided if we used the wrong underlayment — which the contractor had specced. Renegotiated the whole scope.
