Overview
A roof replacement in most New Mexico municipalities requires a building permit and a follow-up inspection by a city or county inspector. The permit puts the work on record with your city or county; the inspection confirms it was installed to code. When you skip this step — or hire a contractor who does — you carry the risk. An unpermitted roof can complicate a home sale, set off a fight with your insurance company after storm damage, or leave you personally on the hook if a workmanship problem shows up later.
We handle the permit application and schedule the inspection as a standard part of every qualifying replacement job. You don't deal with paperwork or with the city. When the inspector signs off, you get a copy of the passed inspection for your records — clean documentation that follows the house.
Part of a roof replacement
This is usually one piece of a larger project. We fold it into your residential roof replacement or commercial roofing so it’s scoped, scheduled, and warrantied as one job.
What’s involved
We apply for the permit
Before work begins, we submit the permit application to the right city or county office — Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Bernalillo County, or wherever your property sits. The permit is in Paramount's name as the licensed contractor on record.
Work is performed to code
New Mexico's building codes set minimum requirements for decking, underlayment (the water-resistant layer under the roofing), fasteners, flashing (the metal that seals roof edges and joints), and ventilation. Building to permit means building to those standards — which is exactly how we build every roof, inspection or not.
We schedule and attend the inspection
After installation, we set up the city or county inspection and have a crew member on-site when the inspector arrives. If anything needs fixing, we handle it — not you.
You get the passed inspection on file
Once the inspection passes, we give you a copy of the documentation. That record is what a future buyer's agent, title company, or insurance adjuster will want to see if the roof ever comes into question.
