Roofing Areas We Servein El Paso, TX

Central El Paso has the oldest housing on this list: 92% of the homes in ZIP 79903 went up before 1980. Manhattan Heights got its first home in 1914, and the Rio Grande Avenue district was platted from 1898 to 1905.

Roofs from those years are often flat behind a parapet, the short wall around the roof’s edge, or Spanish clay tile. The Texas Historical Commission ties both styles to the 1920s revivals.

On a historic property, exterior work including roofing goes through the city’s Historic Landmark Commission for review. Its design guidelines call a gable or hip roof built over a historic flat roof inappropriate, so plan on that flat roof staying flat. ZIP 79901 has just 327 owner-occupied homes, and building owners there can call us for commercial roofs.

East Side roofs take the wind. The National Weather Service says this side of El Paso “is quite often subjected to downslope wind events,” mostly from October to May.

A shingle holds on by its seal strip, and once that bond fails, wind gets under the tab. That matters most on older homes around Vista Hills and in ZIP 79925, where the median home dates to 1969.

Tierra Del Este is another story, with 85% of the homes in ZIP 79938 built in 2000 or later. Some carry Spanish tile, and a cracked or slipped tile is a different repair from a blown-off shingle. We’re based on this side of town, so it’s the shortest drive we make.

Kern Place began in 1914, and it sits in ZIP 79902 even if you call it West Side. In that ZIP, 86% of homes went up before 1980 and only 4% in 2000 or later.

Older architect-built homes here can carry a low-pitched hip or gable roof, clay tile, or a flat roof with a parapet. A repair on one of them has to tie into what’s staying, and the roof deck’s condition helps decide whether a repair will still do.

Shingle colors fade and product lines get discontinued, so a new patch can look different from the slope around it. If a slope looks patched already, a free inspection tells you where it stands.

The Lower Valley is the oldest settled part of the area, home to Ysleta and Ysleta del Sur Pueblo. Three of every four homes in ZIP 79915 went up before 1980.

Older stucco homes here often have flat or low-slope roofs, and water that stays is what hurts them. The National Roofing Contractors Association calls it ponding when water sits more than 48 hours after rain.

A foam or coated roof needs recoating on schedule, and that’s normal maintenance the owner pays for. Our lifetime warranty covers the workmanship.

The Northeast has two ages of homes. ZIP 79924’s median home dates to 1977, and ZIP 79934’s dates to 2008.

Around Castner Heights and Dyer St, the older asphalt shingles are the ones to watch. Sun and heat age them, south-facing slopes first, and the signs are surface cracking called alligatoring and granule loss that bares the asphalt.

Mesquite Hills went up from about 2007 on, and Sandstone Ranch mixes tile, shingle, and flat roofs over stucco. Northeast El Paso is also a usual pick for Fort Bliss families who buy off post, so ask about the 5% military discount.

Upper Valley homes along Doniphan Dr lean Spanish Colonial, with stucco walls and terra-cotta tile.

Roof tile isn’t fully waterproof. Some water passes it in driving rain, and the underlayment and flashing below keep that water out of the house.

In desert heat, felt underlayment dries brittle, cracks, and curls at the flashing and valleys, and a broken tile lets the sun reach it. That’s how a tile roof can look fine from the road and still leak.

The West Side typically sees little of the downslope wind that hits the East Side, the National Weather Service says. Temperatures can differ by as much as 20 degrees across the Franklin Mountains.

Roofs here change with the neighborhood. Coronado Country Club Estates dates mostly to the 1950s and 60s, when flat and low-slope roofs were common. Tile shows up in the foothills, including Thunderbird Valley.

Franklin Hills has larger homes from the 2000s and no HOA, so there’s no association to clear a new roof with.

Anthony is the farthest we go, and the inspection’s still free. The Town of Anthony runs its own permits department at Town Hall, 401 Wildcat Dr.

Homes here split in two, with 31% built before 1980 and 53% built in 2000 or later, including large-lot rural tracts near La Tuna.

A bad flashing can sit dry for months until a monsoon cell finds it, so a small stain may be older than it looks. Flashing is the sheet metal that joins a roof to a wall or chimney, and it’s where we’d look first.

Canutillo is unincorporated, so El Paso County’s answer applies. The county FAQ says, “There are no permits required in the County for the installation of roofing or solar panels.”

Half of Canutillo’s homes are older than 1992, so many of those homes have had the roof replaced once, and the rest are due for a close look.

We’re about 33 minutes out and the phones are answered 24/7, so a leak at night still gets a person. If water’s coming in, ask about emergency tarping. Tarping carries no warranty, and the repair that follows does.

Vinton has the highest share of owners of any town here: 468 of its 547 occupied homes. The village shares ZIP 79821 with Anthony but keeps its own paperwork, with a Building Permit Application through Village of Vinton Development Services.

Homes run from ranch houses and manufactured homes to newer Kiely View Estates. After wind or hail, check the vents, gutters, and A/C units for dents. Hail hits on shingles feel soft, like an apple bruise.
