Roofs in Pelham: What We See

Pelham's homes span several building eras, and roof needs follow the age of the neighborhood.

• Established neighborhoods: largely built in the early 1970s. Many homes have been re-roofed at least once, so we check for multiple shingle layers, aging decking, and worn flashing around chimneys.

• Newer master-planned communities: begun in the early 2000s. Many original roofs are now about 20 years old, which is when architectural shingles start showing granule loss, lifted tabs, and leaks at pipe boots and valleys.

Pelham also has a lot of mature hardwoods and pines. In a storm, falling trees are as much a roof risk as the wind itself.

Storms, Hail, and Wind in Pelham

Pelham sits in Shelby County, which National Weather Service records show has had dozens of tornadoes and nearly 200 hail reports since the 1950s. Pelham has been hit directly several times:

• An F2 tornado in 1973 damaged a shopping center.

• An F1 tornado on April 30, 2005 crossed parts of Pelham, causing shingle damage and downing trees.

• An EF0 tornado on April 19, 2009 caused roof damage to apartments and dropped trees onto homes.

• One-inch hail was reported in Pelham during the April 2011 outbreak.

After any hail or high-wind event, get a free inspection before small damage turns into a leak. Many insurance policies also have a time limit for filing a claim.

Pelham Roofing FAQ

Do you serve all of Pelham, AL 35124?

Yes. We serve the whole city, including older established neighborhoods, newer subdivisions, and the areas along the US-31 and County Road 52 roads, plus the nearby towns of Alabaster, Helena, and Hoover.

My Pelham roof is about 20 years old. Should I replace it?

Not always. Many roofs that age only need repairs. A free inspection will show whether a repair will hold or whether a replacement makes more sense.

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.
