Early-season hail hits Rio Rancho & Bernalillo

First hail-producing cell of the 2025 season dropped quarter-sized hail across Rio Rancho and Bernalillo. Damage on newer shingles is subtle — bruises show up on the mat, not the surface. Claim filing is wide open through May 2026.

What people say after James walks their roof

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.

Under contract on a Corrales house. The pre-purchase report caught two hidden layers the seller's disclosure missed. Got an $18k credit at closing.

Bid review flagged that the 'lifetime warranty' voided if we used the wrong underlayment — which the contractor had specced. Renegotiated the whole scope.
