What's on your roof?

Answer three quick questions from the ground — I'll identify your most likely roof material, expected NM lifespan, and what quietly fails first. You can also upload a photo and get a free PDF report emailed to you.

Optional — add a photo

A ground-level photo of the roof helps me confirm the material personally. Skip if you'd rather just answer the questions.

Up to 3 photos. Ground-level is fine — no need to climb up.

What's the shape of your roof?

Why this matters

Every contractor bid you get assumes a material. If a bidder guesses wrong — or quietly changes it in the scope — you'll pay for the mistake later in warranty voids, code fails, and re-tears. Knowing what you actually have is the first step to a fair bid.

Common questions

+Can you really tell the material without climbing on the roof?
For 90% of NM homes, yes — slope, surface texture, and edge detail narrow it to one or two options. The quiz picks the most likely match and lists close alternates when it's a coin-flip.
+What if I get it wrong?
No harm done. The PDF report lists tell-tale signs so you can double-check from the ground, and a free walk-around confirms it in person if you want certainty before spending money on a bid.
+Does the material really change my bid price?
Yes — foam vs. TPO vs. modified bit can swing a flat-roof replacement by $6K–$20K on a typical NM home. Bidders that guess wrong price the wrong system.

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.

Sarah K.Albuquerque · Nob Hill

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.

David & Elena R.Corrales

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