Every Roofing Service We Offer in Birmingham, AL

A full replacement on a pre-war house here is not one decision. It is the covering, and then it is the brick stack standing through it. Most estimates price the first and meet the second on tear-off morning, which is the worst possible time.

Roof Replacement in Birmingham, AL

Start where the water gets in, not where the ceiling is stained. In this city those are usually different rooms, because the most common entry point on an older house is a brick stack in the middle of the plane and water travels along a rafter before it drops. We work the stack first on any pre-war address.

Central Alabama storms take the tallest thing on the house first. On the pre-war stock that is a brick stack standing three or four feet above the ridge with nothing bracing it, and it comes down across the slope rather than off the side. That produces a specific damage pattern we look for before anything else.

Hail reaches Jefferson County most springs, but far less of what gets called hail damage here is actually hail. We would rather tell you that on the first visit than help you file a claim that gets denied and then sits in your loss history for five years. A real hail hit on an asphalt roof looks like a random field of soft bruises with the mat exposed and the granules driven, not brushed.

Wind failure on an older Birmingham house starts at the stack, not at the rake. A brick chimney standing proud of the ridge throws a pressure shadow downwind, and the shingles in it lift and reseal a few thousand times before one stops resealing. You can read it from the ground once you know the pattern.

Our inspection has an extra stop that most do not: the inside of every flue. A mirror and a light at the top of the stack tell you whether the flue is lined, whether it is holding water, and whether anything is still connected below. That answer changes the whole report.

Asphalt covers the overwhelming majority of roofs in this county and it should. Our advice on it is unfashionable: buy a mid-weight architectural laminate, buy it in the standard line, and put the difference into the brick and the metal it has to meet. The reasoning is simple.

We install standing seam and we like it, and we will still talk a fair number of Birmingham homeowners out of it. The reason is the same thing that makes this a good roofing city to work in: the number of things sticking up through the plane. A standing seam panel is a continuous run of metal that has to expand and contract along its length.

Clay tile is rarer here than in the Sun Belt cities, but it is not rare in the neighborhoods that matter. The 1920s money in Redmont, Forest Park and the early Mountain Brook villages bought Mediterranean and Tudor houses, and many still wear their original tile. That tile is usually in better condition than the assembly under it.

Low slope on a Birmingham house is rarely the main roof. It is the porch, the back addition and the sleeping porch that got enclosed some time after the war. Those planes are where a brick wall and a nearly flat roof meet at ninety degrees.

Before we add a single vent to an older house here, we close the flues. An open unlined flue is a two-foot-square hole running from your attic to the sky. No ridge-and-soffit calculation means anything while it is there.

We fit skylights and we turn down more skylight work than we take. Take a pre-war Birmingham house with plank decking, rafters at wide spacing and a stack already through the plane. A new skylight there is a second permanent penetration in a roof short of good ones.

Gutters here fail for a reason that has little to do with gutters. Birmingham houses sit on hillsides and on brick or stone foundations. A downspout discharging two feet from a masonry wall is putting water into the wall, the mortar and the basement.

The eave is the intake side of the whole ventilation system, and on Birmingham's older stock it is usually the part that has been quietly deleted. Tongue-and-groove board soffits with no vents cut, or vinyl panels installed over the boards without opening them, both look finished and both breathe nothing. So we treat fascia and soffit as an air problem as well as a rot problem.

Tarping in this metro has one complication that most places do not: a fair share of the emergencies involve masonry, and you cannot make a roof safe by covering something that is still leaning. The first thing we do on arrival is decide whether anything overhead is unstable. If a stack is cracked at the roof line or out of plumb, the sound courses come off before any covering goes on.

Downtown Birmingham has an unusual concentration of early steel-framed masonry commercial buildings, because this city could make the steel and had the money to build tall early. The result on a low-slope roof is the same argument as on a bungalow, at four stories and with more water above it. Those roofs die at the wall, not in the field.

The most common thing we see go wrong on a claim here is not the roof. It is a chimney written out of the scope. Adjusters price the covering well and leave the masonry off, and the estimate gets signed before anyone notices.

Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across Birmingham and Jefferson County and the Birmingham district. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling roofing work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.

Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
