Services Overview - Dominguez Construction & Roofing
Reroofing and roof replacement are often necessary when the existing roof has reached the end of its serviceable life, sustained widespread damage, or when underlying deck or flashing issues need correction. Dominguez Construction & Roofing provides professional reroofing and full roof replacement services for residential and commercial properties across Gallup, NM and McKinley County. With decades of experience since 1965, our team ensures replacements are executed correctly—addressing root causes rather than applying temporary fixes.
Dominguez Construction & Roofing
Why reroofing and full roof replacement matter
Reroofing is more than laying down new shingles. It is an opportunity to correct ventilation issues, upgrade underlayment, replace damaged deck, and ensure flashing and drainage are designed to current standards. A proper replacement prevents recurring leaks, reduces long-term maintenance, and can improve energy efficiency. For commercial properties, reroofing often requires coordinated logistics to minimize downtime and protect equipment and interior spaces.
Key benefits
Addresses root causes like rot, poor ventilation, and inadequate flashing
Extends the overall service life of the structure
Allows for upgraded materials and modern performance features
Safer and more cost-effective than repeated patch repairs
Protects building interiors and occupant safety
Signs that you need a replacement
Widespread shingle granule loss and visible aging
Multiple leaks or moisture staining in ceilings
Rotting or sagging decking detected during inspection
Repeated repairs in the same areas
Age beyond expected lifespan (e.g., 20–25 years for many asphalt shingles)
Significant storm damage across large portions of the roof
Our reroofing and replacement process
We inspect shingles, underlayment, flashing, vents, soffits, gutters, and deck. We document conditions with photos and create an itemized scope for replacement.
Detailed inspection and scope
Deck remediation and structural repairs
If decking or framing is compromised, we recommend and perform necessary repairs to provide a solid substrate for the new roof. This prevents post-installation failures and protects against moisture intrusion.
Proper removal and disposal
We remove existing roofing materials either completely (full tear-off) or in a planned overlay where permitted and structurally appropriate. Full tear-offs are recommended when rot is suspected or multiple layers exist.
Upgrade underlayment and ventilation
We install modern underlayment products, ice and water shield in eaves and valleys, and ensure balanced ventilation. These steps reduce premature shingle failure and energy loss.
Flashing and detail work
We replace or upgrade flashing at parapets, chimneys, skylights, and field penetrations using durable materials and correct fastening to prevent leaks.
Material options and guidance
Asphalt shingles: economical, widely available, and comes in wind/impact-rated varieties.
Metal roofs: excellent for long life and energy performance; great option for re-roofing older homes.
Tile roofing systems: durable and appropriate for stucco tile roofs common in the region.
Flat roofs: for commercial reroofing, we recommend membrane upgrades such as TPO or EPDM.
Reroofing costs are influenced by:
Roof area and pitch
Material choice
Existing roof removal vs. overlay
Deck repairs or structural corrections
Complexity: dormers, chimneys, skylights, and hips/valleys
Why full replacement often makes sense
Repeated repairs can be more expensive over time than a properly executed replacement. A full replacement provides an opportunity to fix systemic issues, upgrade to more durable materials, and add warranty coverage.
Maintenance after replacement
After a replacement, we recommend scheduled inspections every 1–3 years, especially after major storms. Maintaining gutters, trimming overhanging branches, and verifying flashing integrity prevent premature issues.
Common questions about reroofing
Can you reroof over existing shingles?
In some limited cases and where local codes allow, overlaying shingles can be done. However, full tear-offs provide better long-term performance and allow inspection of the deck and flashings.
How long does a replacement take?
Residential replacements typically complete in 1–5 days. Commercial projects vary by size and logistics.
Do you provide warranties?
Yes. Manufacturer warranties and a workmanship guarantee are provided; documentation is included in your final package.
