FAQs
How can I tell if my Decatur home needs a full shingle roof replacement instead of minor repairs?
Warning signs include widespread granule loss, shingles that are curling or buckling across large areas, frequent interior leaks after storms, and a roof age of 18–25 years or more. In Decatur’s humid subtropical climate, heat, hail, and wind can accelerate wear. During a free inspection we check the decking from your attic, look for soft spots, and photograph shingle damage to determine whether repairs or a full replacement is the most cost-effective solution.
Which shingle options do you offer, and what works best for Decatur weather?
We install architectural (laminated) asphalt shingles, luxury designer asphalt shingles, and Class 4 impact-rated shingles. Architectural shingles are the most popular for their balance of price, wind resistance up to 130 mph, and dimensional appearance. Impact-rated shingles are ideal for Decatur because they better withstand hail that often accompanies spring storms. All products we recommend carry algae-resistant granules to combat the dark streaks caused by Alabama’s humidity.
What is the average cost to replace a shingle roof in Decatur?
Prices vary with roof size, pitch, and shingle grade, but most Decatur homeowners spend between $4.25 and $6.75 per square foot (about $8,500–$13,500 for a 2,000 sq ft roof). The quote we provide includes tear-off, disposal, synthetic underlayment, new flashing, attic ventilation upgrades, permits, and site clean-up—so there are no hidden fees. We also offer financing plans with low monthly payments for qualified customers.
How long will my roof replacement take and what should I expect during the project?
For an average single-family home in Decatur, tear-off and installation are completed in one to two days, weather permitting. We arrange dumpster delivery, protect landscaping with tarps, and perform a magnetic nail sweep each evening. A dedicated project manager is on-site to answer questions and ensure compliance with Decatur building codes, including the required ice-and-water shield around all eaves and valleys.
Will my homeowners insurance pay for a new shingle roof?
If your roof has storm damage from wind or hail, most insurers will cover replacement minus your deductible, provided the claim is filed promptly. We supply a detailed inspection report with photographs, meet the adjuster on-site, and help you navigate paperwork. Routine wear and tear or end-of-life replacement is usually not covered, but we can bundle manufacturer rebates and financing to reduce out-of-pocket costs.
What warranties do you provide on a new shingle roof?
You receive two layers of protection: 1) a transferable manufacturer warranty of up to 50 years that covers material defects, and 2) our 10-year workmanship warranty that covers installation-related issues such as leaks or flashing failures. Because we are certified by the leading shingle manufacturers, you qualify for their upgraded "System" warranties, which are only available through credentialed contractors in Decatur.
