Asphalt shingles — what our NM shingle inspection looks for.
Architectural laminated shingles dominate NM pitched roofs. 25–30 year systems on paper — often less in the NM sun. Our inspection scores granule loss, sealant strip integrity, and hail bruising slope-by-slope.
The straight story
- Granule loss and thermal cracking scored per slope.
- Sealant-strip integrity — the difference between wind resistance and blow-off.
- Hail bruising count per test square (HAAG methodology).
- Class 4 impact-rated replacement option flagged for insurance discount.
Matched from a contracted NM roofing bench.
I maintain contracts and working relationships with 15+ NM roofing companies across small, mid-size, and regional tiers. After the scope is written, I send it to 2–3 bench contractors matched to your roof's complexity, warranty needs, and timeline. Matched by fit, not by marketing spend.
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.

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.
