Rio Rancho is a wind town. We over-spec fasteners and use enhanced ridge caps on every job here — it's what separates a 15-year roof from a 25-year one.

How Rio Rancho chews up roofs.

Wind exposure is higher than ABQ proper. Shingle uplift and ridge cap failures common.

Almost entirely post-1990 asphalt shingle production homes with a growing share of concrete tile on the newer Cabezon and Mariposa builds.
