Santa Fe Roof Pros provides professional roof inspections in Santa Fe, NM for residential and commercial properties across northern New Mexico. An inspection here is a drainage audit. Counting shingles is pointless on a roof with none, so the visit goes to the three things that decide whether a Santa Fe roof survives: where the water goes, how fast it gets there, and what the parapet is doing about it.
We run water. A hose on the field for twenty minutes tells you more than an hour of walking around does, because it shows the actual low points rather than the ones you would predict from the framing. New Mexico's own definition of positive roof drainage is that no more than half an inch of standing water remains 48 hours after precipitation, and we use that as the pass mark on houses as well as on commercial buildings.
Every canale gets opened and photographed from both ends. We are checking whether a pan lining exists at all, whether it runs the required six inches inside the parapet and six inches to either side of the opening, whether the outfall actually clears the wall face, and whether the ground below it has started eroding. A canale discharging onto adobe is a foundation problem wearing a roofing costume.
The parapet then gets probed. We sound the cap for hollow spots, check whether anyone has run fasteners across the top, look closely at how the stucco terminates where it meets the roof, and read the wall from inside for the horizontal staining that marks water traveling through the parapet core rather than coming down through the field membrane.
On buyers' inspections we core only with written permission, and we say plainly when we cannot tell. Foam roofs hide their own history, and a decent topcoat can sit over saturated foam for years without complaint. If the roof matters to the price, an infrared survey on a clear evening is worth the extra visit and we will arrange one rather than guess in your favor.
You get photographs, the drainage timing, the canale count and condition, and a plain statement of remaining life with the reasoning attached to it. If the answer is that the roof has five good years left and needs two hundred dollars of canale work, that is exactly what the report says. We are not looking for a reason to sell you a reroof.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — canale pans lapped six inches inside the parapet, continuous parapet coping wrapped down both faces, sprayed polyurethane foam with a silicone topcoat, 60 and 80 mil TPO and PVC single-ply membrane, torch-applied two-ply SBS cap sheet, tapered polyisocyanurate cut to a quarter inch per foot — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Santa Fe and nearby communities including Eldorado at Santa Fe, La Cienega, Agua Fria, Pojoaque.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof inspections
The difference between roof inspections that lasts and roof inspections that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with canale pans lapped six inches inside the parapet, continuous parapet coping wrapped down both faces, sprayed polyurethane foam with a silicone topcoat, 60 and 80 mil TPO and PVC single-ply membrane, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Santa Fe job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in northern New Mexico means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Santa Fe Chooses Santa Fe Roof Pros

- ✓Every canale is rebuilt with a metal pan lining running six inches inside the parapet, not patched with sealant.
- ✓Parapet caps are held with cleats at the vertical faces because the code forbids fasteners across the horizontal top.
- ✓We price pumice removal openly, because New Mexico no longer permits granular fill to stay in a roof assembly.
