Lifetime Roofing of El Paso has been family owned since 2009 and in El Paso since 2019. Every caller gets a free inspection and a free written estimate within 48 hours of it.
You’ve got a stain spreading on a ceiling in your home after a monsoon cell, roof shingles in the yard after a hard wind, or a leak that came back after the last repair. Water that keeps getting in soaks the roof deck, and the deck’s condition helps decide whether a repair will still do.
Communication is the biggest complaint in the reviews of roofing contractors in El Paso, ahead of the work itself. Here are those homeowners’ own words, and beside each one is what Lifetime Roofing of El Paso does about it.
“they would call me back and never did”
Our phones are answered 24/7, and Daniel Smith, our manager, is your one contact through cleanup.
“leaks in the same spots 2 years later”
If a leak comes back on our work, we come back and fix it at no charge.
“They will tell you need a new roof, which you don’t”
We quote a repair when a repair will do.
“Never gave me the estimate”
Every caller gets a written estimate within 48 hours of the inspection, insurance claim or not.
“Not even a courtesy call!!”
If the crew is running late, you get a call.
“tons of nails in my front and back yard”
We run a magnet sweep across your property for nails before we leave, and any open roof gets tarped each night.
It depends on the roof. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso prices each repair after a free inspection, and the written estimate reaches you within 48 hours. Roof type, pitch, flashing or valley work, and the deck’s condition set the price.
Will you try to sell me a new roof?
No. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso quotes a repair when a repair will do. How much is damaged, the roof’s age, and the deck decide it, slope by slope.
Does homeowners insurance cover roof repair?
Your policy decides. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso doesn’t need a claim to inspect your roof. If you file one, we document the damage and write the estimate, and your home insurance company makes the call.
What if the repair leaks again?
We come back. If a leak comes back on the work of Lifetime Roofing of El Paso, we come back and fix it at no charge.
Lifetime Roofing of El Paso is a family-owned roofing company in El Paso with more than a decade of roofing experience. Daniel Smith, our manager, is your one contact from the first call through cleanup. Our own crew does the roofing work, not subcontractors, and our prices are reasonable, in the fair middle of the El Paso market.
Water gets in at one spot, runs along the underside of the roof deck, and drops where it can. A repair has to close that spot, or the leak comes back. Pick a spot to see the path.
Pipe boot
A pipe boot is the rubber collar that seals a plumbing pipe where it comes through the shingles. When the collar cracks, rain follows the pipe or runs along the deck, and the fix is a new boot, installed and sealed.
Roof vent
Every vent is a hole in the roof with a seal around it. One El Paso homeowner was told a whole plywood sheet had to go, and the leak turned out to be one unsealed vent.
Skylight
A skylight leans on the flashing around its curb. Water that gets past that flashing runs down the deck and shows up well below the glass.
Chimney flashing
Flashing is the sheet metal that joins a roof to a chimney or exterior wall. After a poor flashing installation, or once its sealant lets go, water slips behind it and runs down the deck.
Valleys leak too, and an El Paso homeowner once traced a leak to two unsealed screws on a drain pipe by the A/C.
Dial (915) 353-3934 at any hour. You don’t need an insurance claim to get a roofer to your home.

Free inspection on the roof
We check the flashing, pipe boots, valleys, and skylights, since those are the leak-prone spots on most roofs. If the crew is running late, you get a call.
3
Free written estimate within 48 hours
You get the repair we recommend and its price on paper within 48 hours of the inspection, so you can compare it with any other quote.

Our own crew makes the repair
No subcontractors. We replace what’s damaged, install new shingles and flashing that tie into what’s staying, and tarp any open roof each night.
5
Magnet sweep and warranty paper
We sweep for nails with a magnet, leave the yard clean, and hand you the warranty paper when the job’s done.
Lifetime Roofing of El Paso rates a roof slope by slope. How much is damaged, the roof’s age, the deck, and what a repair would cost against a complete roof replacement decide it. When a repair will do, it saves you the price of a new roof.
Checking shingles from the eave
We quote a repair when
The damage sits in one spot or on one slope, like missing shingles, a cracked pipe boot, or lifted flashing.
The deck under the damage is still solid, with no structural damage.
The shingles around it still flex without cracking, so we can lift them and tie the repair in.
We quote a replacement when
Damage runs across a slope. Rules of thumb in the trade start near 25% to 30%, though no standard sets the number.
The deck is soft or rotted.
The shingles crack when flexed, so lifting one to fix it would start new leaks.
Inside the City of El Paso, a residential roof covering permit is required when 25% or more is replaced. Texas has no state roofer license, so before you hire a professional, ask for proof of insurance.
Sun fades roof color, and heat ages asphalt shingles, south-facing slopes first. Look for surface cracking called alligatoring, stair-step splits, and granule loss that bares the asphalt.
Wind
84 mphpeak gust on record
A shingle holds on by its seal strip. Once that bond fails, wind gets under the tab. NRCA advises hand-tabbing with quarter-size dabs of adhesive where winds run high.
Monsoon
June 15 to Sept. 30
A normal El Paso year brings 8.78 inches of precipitation, so a bad flashing can sit dry for months until a monsoon cell finds it.
Hail
Soft bruises, at random
Hail hits feel soft like an apple bruise and leave matching dents on vents, gutters, and A/C units. Blisters are firm, and granule loss alone isn’t proof of hail.
A roof repair comes with two papers: the written estimate before we start and the warranty paper at the end. Workmanship means how the repair was done, so that call comes to us, not to a shingle company.
The workmanship warranty transfers to the next owner if you sell the house.
Free and written, within 48 hours of the inspection
Workmanship warranty
Lifetime and transferable, on the work
Maker’s warranty
Printed beside ours, on any new roofing materials
If a leak comes back on our work
We come back and fix it at no charge
When you get the warranty paper
Handed over at the end of the job
Tarping and inspections carry no warranty.
More questions aboutyour home’s roof
Can a handyman fix a roof?
Legally, yes. Texas doesn’t license roofers, so a handyman or a DIY homeowner can take the job. Ask who carries insurance: Lifetime Roofing of El Paso carries $1M general liability and $2M workers’ comp.
What is the 25% rule for roofing?
Here, it’s a permit line. Inside the City of El Paso, a residential roof covering permit is required when 25% or more is replaced. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso can tell you which side of that line your job falls on.
Should a 20 year old roof be replaced?
Not for age alone. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso judges a 20 year old roof slope by slope on its damage, its age, and its deck. If a repair will do, we quote the repair.
How can I tell if a roofer is lying?
Trust what’s in writing. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso writes an estimate for every caller within 48 hours of the inspection, so you can check what you were told against any other roofer’s quote.
Can I pay for a roof repair over time?
Ask about financing. Financing is available from Lifetime Roofing of El Paso to keep a repair affordable if it stretches the budget, and we offer a 5% military discount. Ask about both when you call (915) 353-3934.
Does a roof repair come with a warranty?
Yes. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso puts a lifetime transferable workmanship warranty on the work, printed beside the maker’s warranty on any new materials.
