Hobbs Roof Pros provides professional roof ventilation in Hobbs, NM for residential and commercial properties across southeastern New Mexico. The usual case for ventilation is moisture. In a county with this little humidity, that case barely applies, and repeating it here would be borrowing an argument from a wetter place. The reason to vent a roof in Hobbs is heat.
Deck temperature is what shortens a shingle. An unvented attic under a dark roof at this sun load will hold air well above outdoor ambient through a July afternoon, and the underside of the sheathing runs hotter still. Moving that air out lowers the peak the shingle mat has to survive each day, which is the single cycle that decides whether you get twelve years or twenty.
The pre-1980 cohort here creates a specific trap. A lot of those houses were framed with shallow or closed eaves and have no usable intake at all. Cutting exhaust into a roof like that gives the fan or the ridge nothing to draw from outside, so it pulls conditioned air up through every ceiling gap and light can instead, and the owner pays to cool the attic.
We solve it in one of two directions and we pick before we cut anything. Either we build genuine intake, which usually means adding vented soffit panels or edge intake at the eave and confirming the net free area on both halves, or we abandon venting altogether. The second option is often the better one on these houses and it deserves more consideration than it gets.
An unvented assembly with above-deck rigid polyiso and a taped deck moves the thermal boundary to the roof plane and stops trying to condition a triangle of hot air at all. It pairs well with a metal re-roof, it works on the low-slope additions common in older Hobbs neighborhoods, and in this dry a climate the moisture risk that makes it complicated elsewhere is small.
Whichever way we go, the numbers get written down. Net free area for intake and exhaust, the products used, the square footage served, and the measured attic temperature before and after where we can take it. Of everything on a roof, venting is the item most often sold on a feeling rather than a figure, and the figures are not hard to produce. If the proposal in your hand has none, ask for them.
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 roof ventilation
The difference between roof ventilation that lasts and roof ventilation 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.
