Birmingham Roof Pros provides professional storm damage restoration in Birmingham, AL for residential and commercial properties across Jefferson County and the Birmingham district. 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. Brick strike marks across the field, a punctured deck where a coping course landed, mortar rubble in the valleys and gutters, and a stack sheared at the roof line with its flue tiles cracked below. A tarp over the hole does nothing if the remaining brick is still leaning. So the first decision after a storm is structural, not cosmetic.
We take the compromised courses down to sound masonry the same day where we safely can, then dry the opening in. Leaving a cracked stack standing through a week of follow-on weather is how a repairable roof becomes a framing job. We also check plumb on any stack still standing, on two faces with a level, because a chimney that survived the night can still be leaning. Then we document.
Dated photographs of the stack from all four faces, the strike marks with a scale in frame, the deck from the attic side, and the debris before it is cleared. Adjusters here routinely write the covering and leave the masonry out, and the only thing that reliably changes that is a photograph taken before anyone tidied up. Debris gets bagged and kept until the adjuster has seen it, rather than going into a skip the morning after.
Rebuilding is where we differ from most restoration outfits. We will often recommend not rebuilding the stack at all. If nothing vents into it, the honest scope is to remove it below the sheathing, frame the opening, deck it in kind and shingle over it. You lose a chimney you were not using and you delete the failure point permanently.
Where a stack has to come back, it comes back with a poured crown that overhangs the brick with a drip kerf, a bond break at the flue, and two-piece counterflashing cut into a raked bed joint. Where the house is masonry veneer and the addition is frame, we rebuild the transition properly instead of running one continuous piece of metal across two materials.
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 storm damage restoration
The difference between storm damage restoration that lasts and storm damage restoration 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.
