Serving Corrales
Get Roof Installation in Corrales, NM
Roof replacement in Corrales runs $8,000–$25,000, and much of the village's work is specialized: flat and parapet adobe roofs drained by canales, where membrane detailing and careful penetrations around vigas decide whether a roof lasts. We install TPO, modified bitumen, pitched systems, and everything Corrales custom homes combine.
310+ days of sunshine per year in Corrales. Corrales is PNM territory: exported solar earns full retail-rate credit, 1:1 — valuable on the village's larger properties, where well pumps and outbuildings push electric usage above metro averages.

Membrane Roofing for Adobe and Parapet Homes
Corrales roofing is mostly not shingle work. The village's older adobe homes — thick walls, parapets, vigas, canales — carry flat or nearly flat roofs where the membrane, the slope beneath it, and the drainage details do all the work. Water that lingers behind a parapet or backs up at a narrowed canale doesn't just age the roofing; it threatens the adobe itself. So our crews treat drainage as the design problem and the membrane as its answer, and every penetration is planned, flashed, and documented — on roofs like these, shortcuts surface as stains on a hand-plastered ceiling.
One Village, Many Roof Types
Walk from Old Corrales to Corrales Heights and the roofs change: parapeted adobe, pitched metal on newer custom builds, and blends of both on homes added onto across decades. We quote each plane as its own system rather than forcing one product across a property, and we sequence house, casita, and barn into a single coherent scope. If solar is anywhere in your plans, say so early — the roof under an array should outlast the panels on top of it.
Roof replacement in New Mexico runs $8,000–$25,000 depending on material and home size. Asphalt shingles last 20–25 years here, tile 40–50, and metal 40–70 — all shorter than national averages, because high-desert UV, hail, and daily temperature swings work roofs harder than most climates. Epex is a GAF Master Elite contractor, a certification held by roughly the top 2% of roofers in North America, and offers the 50-year GAF Golden Pledge warranty with $0-down financing.
Materials That Earn Their Keep in the High Desert
- Asphalt shingles — Best value. We install GAF Timberline HDZ with Class 4 impact resistance, the rating that matters in New Mexico hail country and that many insurers discount premiums for.
- Standing seam metal — 50+ year lifespan, the best substrate for solar panels, and the right answer for many low-slope sections.
- Tile — Concrete or clay for a Southwest aesthetic with excellent durability; we evaluate the framing first, since tile's weight isn't right for every structure.
- Flat and low-slope systems — TPO and modified bitumen for the parapet and flat roofs common across New Mexico, where ponding and UV — not snow load — are the enemies.
Insurance Claims, Handled
Hail and monsoon wind damage drive a large share of the reroofs we do in Corrales. We document the damage, meet the adjuster on your roof, and manage the claim paperwork end to end — you shouldn't have to become an insurance expert to get a roof you already paid premiums for.
Why Replace Before Going Solar
If your roof has less than 10 years of life remaining, replacing it before solar installation saves the full cost of removing and reinstalling panels mid-life — typically thousands of dollars. Because Epex does both trades in-house, we sequence the reroof and the solar install as one project: one crew accountable for the flashing, the penetrations, and the warranty on all of it. No roofer blaming the solar company, no solar company blaming the roofer.
What a Reroof With Us Looks Like
Tear-off to final inspection is typically 1–3 weeks depending on material and weather. We protect landscaping, run magnetic sweeps for nails daily, and walk the finished roof with you before we call it done. Every Golden Pledge roof gets a GAF factory inspection on top of the local building inspection — two sets of eyes that don't work for us.
What Our Corrales Customers Say
Our GAF roof is gorgeous and our PNM bill went from $180/month to under $20 with the solar panels. The whole project took about 6 weeks from start to finish. Worth every penny.
Frequently Asked Questions
Usually a membrane system — TPO or modified bitumen — on the flat, parapet-walled sections, sloped to drain toward the canales instead of ponding behind the parapets. Canale outlets and projecting viga ends give these roofs more penetrations and terminations than a standard build, and each one is a leak path if it's flashed casually. Newer Corrales custom homes often add pitched metal or shingle sections; we install those systems too.
Ponding is the usual culprit: parapets trap water on a roof that has lost its slope, and monsoon bursts overwhelm canales narrowed by old roofing layers. Add the freeze-thaw cycles Sandoval County winters deliver and small membrane failures grow fast. We rebuild slope with tapered insulation where needed, keep canales fully open, and detail parapet caps so water leaves the roof instead of finding the adobe.
Yes, and it usually makes sense to scope them together: one mobilization across the property, one warranty conversation, and matching materials where you want them to match. Corrales outbuildings range from metal-roofed barns to flat-roofed casitas, and each gets the system its structure calls for — we won't put the house's membrane spec on a barn that wants standing seam.
Corrales is PNM territory, so exported solar earns full retail-rate credit, 1:1, banked month to month. Corrales properties often run higher electric usage than metro averages — well pumps, casitas, barns, and shop buildings add up — which makes retail-rate net metering worth more here, not less.
The Village of Corrales runs its own Planning & Zoning process, separate from Albuquerque and Rio Rancho, with design standards that protect the village's rural character. Epex files and manages village permits and PNM interconnection paperwork, and we design equipment placement to respect Corrales's low-visibility expectations.
Yes — that's most of what Corrales is. Adobe and custom homes need engineering judgment production builders never face: parapet and flat-roof drainage, viga penetrations, thick-wall window retrofits, and panel mounting that doesn't compromise historic fabric. We treat each Corrales home as its own engineering problem, because it is.
