Roofing Services in Birmingham
Free Roof Inspections and Drone Roof Inspections: Almost every inspection starts with a drone flight, and our crew gets on the roof wherever damage shows up. You get a roof report when replacement may be on the table, and a plain "just fix it" when it isn't. Inspections run Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:30 PM.
Roof Repair and Leak Detection: leaks, missing or creased shingles, flashing, and pipe boots.
Residential Roof Replacement: every new roof gets the full system it needs, from underlayment and starter to flashing, ventilation, and ridge cap. CertainTeed and TAMKO shingle options.
Commercial Roof Replacement and Commercial Roof Coatings: for offices, churches, warehouses, and storefronts along roads like US-280 and I-65.
Storm Damage Repair and Insurance Claim Help: we document hail and wind damage with photos. We are an Alfa Insurance Preferred Vendor.
Emergency Roof Tarping: we stop the water first after a storm or a fallen tree.
Gutter Installation, Gutter Guards, and Soffit & Fascia Repair
Tree Removal and Stump Grinding: full take-downs and emergency tree-on-house removal. We do not do limb trimming.
Birmingham Homes and Their Roofs
Birmingham has about 200,000 residents and housing from every decade since the 1880s. What we find depends on the neighborhood:
Older established neighborhoods: early-1900s homes with steep roofs, dormers, box gutters, and old chimneys. Some have slate or tile sections that should be repaired, not torn off, and we'll tell you plainly when a roof is outside what we install.
Bungalow and mid-century neighborhoods: bungalows and mid-century homes, often with two shingle layers, low-slope porch roofs, and tired flashing.
1950s–70s ranch neighborhoods: ranches on their second or third roof, where decking and ventilation are usually part of the job.
Newer homes along the US-280 road corridor: homes near our office with complex roofs now reaching first replacement.
Older city lots also have big trees close to the house, so tree-on-roof calls are common after storms.
Storms in Birmingham
Birmingham sits in one of the most tornado-active parts of the country. On April 27, 2011, an EF4 tornado tore through western Birmingham. Most years, the damage comes from hail and straight-line winds in spring and late fall. A free inspection after a storm documents damage while it's fresh for your claim.

Birmingham Roofing FAQ
Where is your office?
Our main office is at 4000 Eagle Point Corporate Dr, Ste 300, Birmingham, AL 35242, off US-280. Inspections and estimates are done at your property.
My house is over 80 years old. Can you re-roof it?
Usually, yes. Older homes often need decking replaced and flashing rebuilt, and we include that in the quote after a free inspection so there are no surprises.
Will my insurance pay for hail or wind damage?
If a storm damaged your roof, it often does. We photograph and document the damage and can meet your adjuster. We are an Alfa Preferred Vendor and work with other carriers as well.
A tree fell on my house. Who do I call first?
Call us at (205) 826-4915, 24/7. We remove the tree, tarp the roof to stop leaks, and handle the repair. We do full take-downs, but not limb trimming.
