FAQs
What types of roofing materials do you offer for roof repair or replacement in Decatur?
We work with a full range of industry-leading materials to match Decatur’s climate and building codes, including architectural asphalt shingles, impact-rated designer shingles, standing-seam and ribbed metal panels, synthetic slate and shake, and energy-efficient single-ply membranes such as TPO and EPDM for low-slope sections. All products we install carry UL Class A fire ratings and high wind warranties of 110-130 mph, ensuring both safety and longevity.
How can I tell whether my Decatur roof needs a repair or a full replacement?
Warning signs include missing or curling shingles, granule loss, rusted flashing, recurring leaks, sagging decking, and interior stains. If damage is limited to a small area or the roof is under 15 years old, a targeted repair usually suffices. Roofs older than 20 years, those with widespread shingle failure, or those with multiple past repairs often benefit from full replacement. We provide free on-site inspections, drone imagery, and a written condition report to guide your decision.
What is the typical roof-repair process and timeline?
After the initial inspection and written estimate, we pull required Decatur permits and schedule materials. Most minor shingle or flashing repairs are completed the same day; medium-sized repairs (e.g., partial slope tear-off and re-sheeting) take 1–2 days. On the service date our crew protects landscaping, removes damaged components, installs new underlayment and matching materials, seals all penetrations, and magnets your yard for nails. A final walk-through and photo documentation are provided before we close the permit.
Are you licensed and insured to perform roofing work in Decatur, and do you offer warranties?
Yes. We hold an Alabama Home Builders License, maintain $2 million in general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and are certified by GAF, CertainTeed, and Drexel Metals. Repairs carry a 2-year workmanship warranty, while full replacements include a transferable 10-year workmanship warranty and up to a 50-year manufacturer’s material warranty when installed to system specifications.
How much does roof repair cost and what factors influence the price?
Local roof repairs in Decatur usually range from $350 for a simple pipe-boot replacement to $2,500 for extensive shingle and decking work. Key cost drivers include roof pitch and accessibility, scope of damaged area, material type (standard 3-tab vs. architectural shingle vs. metal), underlayment upgrades, and the need for plywood sheathing replacement. We give itemized, no-obligation quotes so you can see exactly where every dollar goes.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the roof repair, and can you help with the claim?
If the damage results from a covered peril such as wind, hail, or fallen trees, most policies will pay for repair or replacement minus your deductible. We offer complimentary storm assessments, meet with the adjuster on-site, supply detailed photos and Xactimate pricing, and handle code-upgrade documentation so you receive the full settlement you’re entitled to under Alabama Insurance Regulation §482-1-125.
