Q: What types of roofing systems do you install?

A: We install high-quality roofing systems from leading manufacturers, including:

Composition (asphalt shingles)
Metal roofing systems
Clay & concrete tile
TPO and single-ply membrane systems
Flat and low-slope commercial roofing

We help you select the best roofing system based on your property type, budget, and New Mexico’s climate conditions.

Q: What warranties do you offer?

A: We stand behind both our materials and workmanship.

Manufacturer Warranties: Most roofing materials come with a limited lifetime warranty. Many manufacturers offer enhanced coverage during the first several years, which may include both labor and material for manufacturing defects when installed to specification.
Transferable Coverage: Many warranties can be transferred to a new property owner (transfer fee may apply).
Workmanship Warranty: AJ’s Professional Contracting provides a 10-year workmanship warranty on qualifying full roof replacements.

Proper installation according to manufacturer specifications is essential to maintaining warranty eligibility — and we strictly follow those standards.

Q: Do I need to be home during the roofing project?

A: No, you do not need to be present during the installation, as long as we have a reliable contact number.

Before the project begins, we conduct a pre-construction meeting to review:

Scope of work
Project timeline
Property protection measures
Any special concerns you may have

We maintain communication throughout the project to ensure a smooth experience.

Q: Is removing my existing roof required?

A: In most cases, yes — a full tear-off is recommended.

Removing the existing roofing allows us to:

Inspect the decking and substructure
Identify dry rot or water damage
Address any hidden structural concerns
Ensure a flat, long-lasting installation

Local building codes may limit the number of roofing layers allowed. While overlays are sometimes possible, a full removal generally provides the best long-term performance.

Q: Can roofing be done during winter or bad weather?

A: Yes. We install roofing systems year-round in New Mexico.

Most projects:

Take 4–8 hours to remove the existing roof and install waterproof underlayment
Are completed within 1–3 days, depending on size and material

We carefully monitor weather conditions to ensure proper installation and protect your property throughout the process.

Q: Are your estimates free? How long are they valid?

A: Yes, we provide FREE roofing estimates.

Estimates are valid for 30 days, after which pricing may need to be adjusted due to material cost fluctuations.

Q: What are my options for a flat roof?

A: Roofs with a pitch of 3/12 or less are considered low-slope or flat.

Recommended systems include:

TPO membrane systems
Single-ply roofing
Modified bitumen
Elastomeric roof coatings (when applicable)

After a thorough evaluation, we will recommend the most durable and cost-effective system for your structure.

Q: Can my home support a tile roof?

A: Many structures can support tile roofing; however, tile is significantly heavier than shingles.

We may recommend:

Structural review or engineering analysis
Reinforcement (if necessary)

This ensures safety, compliance, and long-term performance.

Q: Will my landscaping or property be damaged during the project?

A: Protecting your property is a top priority.

We implement procedures such as:

Protective coverings
Controlled debris removal
Magnetic nail sweeps
Daily job-site cleanup

We take pride in leaving your property clean and in excellent condition upon completion.

Protect your home, rental property or commercial property when selecting a roofing contractor by educating yourself.

The following tips are suggested guidelines for evaluating and selecting a qualified roofing contractor.

Get referrals from friends, family members, co-workers, lumberyards, and general contractors
A permanent place of business and a telephone in the business' name.
Federal tax identification number.
Check their license number; go to the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department Website. You can verify license numbers and reveal previous claims brought against the contractor and if they have been resolved.
Call your local Better Business Bureau to check on possible complaints filed against the contractor. Visit their website at www.bbb.org.
Ask for proof of liability and worker's compensation insurance. Note: If the contractor is not properly insured, you may be liable for accidents that occur on your property.
Always insist on a detailed written proposal. Do not assume a vague proposal will include details from verbal agreements.
Ask the contractor to explain their procedures for quality control, job supervision, safety practices, and clean up.
