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.

UV degradation in New Mexico
We sit at 5,300 ft with 300+ sunny days. Asphalt-based roofs age faster here than almost anywhere in the country.
UV light breaks down the asphalt binder in shingles, modified bitumen, and tar & gravel. The granules protect the binder — when they wash away, the roof's clock starts ticking faster.
Reflective coatings, metal roofs, and white TPO all sidestep UV by reflecting most of it back.
A 25-year shingle rated in Ohio often gives you 15–18 years in ABQ. Spec your warranty against the climate you actually live in, not the box rating.
