New Mexico's climate, characterized by intense sunlight, significant temperature swings between day and night, and occasional hail, demands a resilient roofing material. Galvanized steel roofs are engineered to withstand these conditions, offering a long service life. The installation process involves precise measurement and fitting of pre-formed panels, ensuring a watertight seal against the elements. Proper underlayment and flashing are critical components to prevent moisture intrusion, especially given the dry air which can exacerbate material expansion and contraction.
