Frequently Asked Questions
How does the insurance claim process work for roof damage?
At Centurion Enterprises LLC, we guide you through every step: from the initial damage assessment and documentation to working directly with your insurance adjuster. We handle the paperwork and ensure your roof and exterior are fully restored using high-quality materials. This approach minimizes your stress and helps you receive the full value of your claim.What roofing materials work best in Albuquerque's climate?
Asphalt shingles from GAF, Owens Corning, and Tamko perform well in New Mexico's intense sun and temperature swings. Metal roofing offers excellent energy efficiency, while tile and Decra systems provide durability against wind and hail. At Centurion Enterprises LLC, we help you choose materials suited to Albuquerque's unique weather conditions.When should you schedule a roof maintenance inspection?
Schedule inspections at least once a year, ideally before monsoon season or after severe weather events like hailstorms. Regular maintenance catches issues like loose shingles, flashing damage, or leaks early, extending your roof's lifespan and preventing costly repairs down the line.What's the difference between re-stucco and stucco repair?
Stucco repair involves patching cracks, blistering, or localized damage to restore appearance and integrity. Re-stucco means applying a complete new stucco system over your entire exterior, often using a traditional three-coat process. At Centurion Enterprises LLC, we assess whether targeted repairs or full re-stucco best suits your property's condition.How does attic insulation lower energy bills in New Mexico?
Proper attic insulation prevents heat loss in winter and reduces heat gain during Albuquerque's scorching summers. This stabilizes indoor temperatures, so your HVAC works less and uses less energy. We help you choose insulation materials that meet the right R-value for year-round comfort and lower utility costs.What causes stucco cracks and how are they fixed?
Stucco cracks typically result from settling, moisture intrusion, or thermal expansion in New Mexico's climate. Repairs involve cleaning the crack, applying bonding agents, and patching with matching material and texture. At Centurion Enterprises LLC, we address the root cause and blend repairs for a seamless finish.What are the benefits of metal roofing over asphalt shingles?
Metal roofing offers superior energy efficiency, longer lifespan (often 40+ years), and excellent resistance to wind, hail, and fire. While asphalt shingles are more affordable upfront, metal reduces cooling costs and maintenance over time. Both options are durable in Albuquerque's climate when properly installed.How long does a full roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements are completed in one to three days, depending on roof size, material type, and weather conditions. Complex projects involving tile or multi-layer tear-offs may take longer. At Centurion Enterprises LLC, we provide a clear timeline during your free consultation.Do roof warranties cover storm damage in New Mexico?
Standard manufacturer and workmanship warranties cover defects and installation issues, not storm damage. For hail, wind, or debris damage, your homeowner's insurance typically applies. At Centurion Enterprises LLC, we help document damage and work with your adjuster to ensure coverage and proper restoration.What's the biggest mistake homeowners make with roof repairs?
Delaying repairs after noticing leaks or missing shingles often leads to interior water damage, mold, and structural issues that cost far more to fix. Prompt, professional assessment and repair prevent minor problems from escalating. We recommend annual inspections and immediate action after severe weather events.Can you customize stucco textures and colors for my home?
Yes. At Centurion Enterprises LLC, we offer custom stucco finishes including unique textures, specialty aggregates, and personalized color applications. These decorative options elevate curb appeal and allow you to create a high-end, distinctive look that complements your architectural style.What is TPO roofing and why use it commercially?
TPO is a single-ply membrane ideal for flat and low-slope commercial roofs, offering excellent weather resistance, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. At Centurion Enterprises LLC, we install TPO along with Mule-Hide and Firestone systems to provide watertight, long-lasting protection for Albuquerque businesses.
