Hobbs Roof Pros provides professional flat & low-slope roofing in Hobbs, NM for residential and commercial properties across southeastern New Mexico. A low-slope roof in Hobbs works as a drainage system for about five days a year. The other three hundred and sixty it is a horizontal surface collecting whatever the wind carries, which is a great deal more than most owners realize.
That inversion is the whole design problem. Fines off caliche roads and open ground are not inert dust. Caliche is a calcium carbonate hardpan and it behaves like the road base it is used as: wet it, let it dry, and it sets. A season of that in a scupper throat or a drain bowl produces a plug that a broom will not move and a hose barely touches.
So we oversize and duplicate the drainage rather than meeting the minimum. Every low-slope roof we build gets a secondary overflow path set above the primary, sized generously, and positioned where a blocked primary will show itself on the wall outside instead of ponding quietly overhead. Then we tell you to clear the drains each spring before the first real cell arrives.
Slope gets built in rather than hoped for. Polyisocyanurate cut on a taper to a quarter inch in the foot, with saddles worked in behind every curb and wall, costs more than flat board and gets rid of standing water, which is the thing that kills membranes in a climate this hot. Ponded water at this sun load cooks a seam far faster than the same water would in a mild climate.
Membrane choice follows the building rather than the fashion. On the pre-1980 additions and porch roofs common in older Hobbs neighborhoods, a granule-surfaced SBS cap sheet set in cold adhesive is tough, walkable, and repairable by anyone with a roll and a trowel. On larger commercial decks a 60 or 80 mil single-ply over high-density cover board is the better long-term economy for the owner.
We will also tell you when a low-slope roof should stop being low-slope. Several 1950s houses here have flat additions that were never detailed properly and have been patched by four different hands. Framing a modest slope over the top and running metal solves permanently what another membrane solves for six years, and over a decade it is frequently the cheaper of the two. We will price both so the comparison belongs to you rather than to us.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — open metal valleys formed in 26-gauge Galvalume, high-temperature synthetic underlayment rated for hot decks, caliche fines cleared from scuppers and downspout boots, granule-surfaced SBS cap sheet set in cold adhesive, unvented roof assemblies built with above-deck polyiso, mechanically seamed Galvalume panels riding on expansion clips — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Hobbs and nearby communities including North Hobbs, Lovington, Eunice, Jal.

Materials, equipment and how we do flat & low-slope roofing
The difference between flat & low-slope roofing that lasts and flat & low-slope roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with open metal valleys formed in 26-gauge Galvalume, high-temperature synthetic underlayment rated for hot decks, caliche fines cleared from scuppers and downspout boots, granule-surfaced SBS cap sheet set in cold adhesive, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Hobbs job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in southeastern New Mexico means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Hobbs Chooses Hobbs Roof Pros
- ✓We price the roof around the decade the house was built, because two thirds of Hobbs predates 1980 and the deck under it varies block by block.
- ✓Deck repair is a named unit price in the estimate rather than a change order discovered on the second morning of a tear-off.
- ✓We will talk you out of a coating, a claim, a skylight or a full gutter wrap when the honest answer is to spend nothing.
- ✓Material comes from Midland, Lubbock or El Paso, so we order before tear-off and plan the schedule around the real wait.
