Intense UV, big diurnal swings causing thermal shock, monsoon downpours from July to September.

Permits & code

Roofing permits in Albuquerque.

Authority: City of Albuquerque Planning Dept — Building Safety Division

Permit required

Required for any re-roof, decking replacement, or structural change. Like-for-like shingle repairs under ~10% of roof area typically don't require a permit — confirm with the inspector.

Typical fee

Residential re-roof: ~$60 base + sq-ft fee. Most homes land between $90 and $180.

Inspections

Mid-roof (dry-in / underlayment) and final. We schedule both — you don't.

Tear-off rule

Maximum 2 layers of shingles allowed before tear-off is required. Tile and metal: full tear-off on every re-roof.

Local notes

Solar-ready conduit chases recommended on every re-roof. Cool-roof reflectivity isn't mandated but rebates apply on TPO and white-coated flat roofs.

We pull every permit and meet every inspector. You don't deal with the building department.
