Birmingham Roof Pros provides professional roof replacement in Birmingham, AL for residential and commercial properties across Jefferson County and the Birmingham district. 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.
Jefferson County holds 30,491 housing units built in 1939 or earlier and roughly 87,000 built before 1960, by the Census Bureau's American Community Survey. Those houses burned Warrior field coal. That is why so many carry two, three or four flues in one corbelled stack, and why almost none of those flues serves anything today.
Underlayment is a synthetic across the full field with a self-adhered membrane in the valleys and around every penetration, including the stack. So we settle the stack before the dumpster is ordered. There are three honest outcomes and we price all of them. Rebuild the top courses and pour a proper crown. Cap it and keep it as a feature. Or take the brick down below the deck and frame and sheathe the opening.
The third is usually the cheapest and it is permanent. Demolition has one hard precondition. If a gas furnace or water heater still vents into that flue, nothing comes down until a licensed mechanical contractor re-vents it. We ask what is connected at the first visit and write the answer on the proposal. A cold firebox is not proof of a dead flue.
All three go on the proposal with a price against each, and we say which we would choose on our own house. The rest is ordinary work done properly. Tear off to the deck, no overlays. Old 1x6 plank sheathing gets re-secured with ring-shank fasteners and gapped boards get plated or replaced. Six nails a shingle in the nailing zone, and closed-cut valleys over a self-adhered strip.
New pipe boots, drip edge at eaves and rakes, and a rated ridge cap. If the covering has ten years left and only the stack is leaking, we will say so and quote the brick alone. A stack rebuild plus two-piece counterflashing is a fraction of a reroof, and on a house whose shingles still seal it is the right money. We would rather write that estimate than sell you a roof you did not need yet.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — two-piece counterflashing cut into a raked bed joint, a poured chimney crown with an overhang and a drip kerf, a framed cricket above stacks wider than thirty inches, self-adhered flashing membrane turned up the brick face, sheet-metal thimble covers sealed at abandoned flue openings, corbelled brick stacks standing proud of the ridge — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Birmingham and nearby communities including Hoover, Vestavia Hills, Alabaster, Homewood.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof replacement
The difference between roof replacement that lasts and roof replacement that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with two-piece counterflashing cut into a raked bed joint, a poured chimney crown with an overhang and a drip kerf, a framed cricket above stacks wider than thirty inches, self-adhered flashing membrane turned up the brick face, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Birmingham job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Jefferson County and the Birmingham district means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
