Project Overview

Situated in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, this custom residential property required a specialized approach to address severe wind scour and hail damage. The homeowner sought a solution that would not only restore structural integrity but also elevate the visual character of the home to match the rugged Santa Fe landscape.

Our team conducted a multi-point forensic inspection, identifying critical failures in the existing underlayment and high-stress areas where the previous installation had succumbed to the extreme High Desert climate.

Severe granule loss and shingle lift due to 80mph gusts.
Degraded flashing around complex custom stucco parapets.
Active interior leaks during monsoon rainfall events.

Installation of Nexgen™ polymer-modified shingles for impact resistance.
Premium synthetic underlayment for secondary moisture barrier.
Custom-fabricated lead-free flashing for all roof penetrations.
