Corrales roofs
Corrales has some of the area's most traditional homes — real adobe, territorial and pueblo revival — along with newer homes built in the same style. Nearly all have flat roofs with parapets and canales. Under the cottonwoods, leaves and seed fluff clog canales and hold moisture on the roof.
What we see
- Canales blocked by leaves and cottonwood debris
- Parapet caps and corners cracked by years of weather
- Older roofs with several layers of coating and patches
- Studios, casitas and barns with their own flat roofs
Adobe needs dry walls
Water that gets into the top of an adobe wall can do real damage over time. Sealing the parapet and keeping canales draining clear of the wall protects more than the roof. See parapet and canale repair.

Common questions
Do you work on casitas and studios?
Yes. Outbuildings with flat or low-slope roofs are part of what we do.
How often should Corrales homeowners clean canales?
At least in spring and fall, more often under heavy trees.
