San Elizario is a Lower Valley city of 10,116 people in the 2020 census, about 3,640 feet above sea level along the Rio Grande, with ZIP code 79849 and its own school district. Its history runs back to a Spanish presidio moved here in 1789, and the 1882 San Elizario Chapel still anchors the historic plaza. Residents voted to re-incorporate the city in 2013, so it now has its own city government.
Older homes near the plaza are adobe or block under flat roofs behind parapets, the kind of roof that has been patched and coated many times. On thick masonry walls, keeping water out of the wall is as important as the roof surface, so parapet caps, counter-flashing and scupper drains matter. Newer subdivisions around the older core are mostly single-story homes under asphalt shingle or low-slope membrane, now old enough that the first roof is wearing in the sun.
Because San Elizario is its own city, a reroof may be permitted through the city rather than the City of El Paso. The licensed roofer we refer confirms the right office for your address, pulls the permit and meets the inspector, and starts with a free inspection of the drains, the parapet details and the layers on the roof.
