How do I know if my roof was damaged in the March 14, 2025 event?

Look for granule loss in gutters, dented metal vents, or shiny nail heads exposed on the ridge. If your Downtown/EDo home is inside the impact zone, we'll inspect free and give you an honest yes/no before you file.

Do I need to file with insurance to work with Roof Doctor NM?

No. If the damage doesn't meet your deductible, we'll quote a straight repair. We never push a claim that shouldn't be filed.
