FAQs
What roofing services do you provide in Etowah?
As a preferred local contractor, we handle every phase of residential and light-commercial roofing in Etowah County—from small leak repairs and full tear-offs to new-construction installs. Our crew is trained in asphalt-shingle, metal, standing-seam, flat/low-slope membranes (TPO & EPDM), and specialty systems such as architectural shingles and synthetic slate. We also offer preventative maintenance programs, skylight installation, attic ventilation upgrades, chimney flashing, and emergency tarping after severe weather.
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured to work in Alabama?
Yes. We hold an Alabama Home Builders License (license # available on request) and carry $1 million in general liability plus full workers’ compensation coverage for every crew member. We are also bonded for your protection. Copies of certificates are gladly provided before any work begins, so you can have complete peace of mind that your home and finances are safeguarded.
How can I tell whether my roof needs a repair or a full replacement?
A quick visual inspection—inside and out—often reveals the answer. Warning signs include shingles that are curling, cracked, or missing; granules collecting in gutters; sagging roof decking; daylight visible in the attic; and repeated leaks after heavy rain. During our free on-site assessment we photograph problem areas, measure moisture levels in the decking, and check ventilation. If damage is localized and your shingles still have adequate life, we’ll recommend a targeted repair. If more than 25–30 % of the surface is compromised or the roof is 15–20 years old, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective and carries a longer warranty.
Which roofing materials perform best in Etowah’s climate?
Etowah County sees hot, humid summers, occasional ice events, and frequent spring thunderstorms. For most homes we suggest: • Architectural asphalt shingles rated for 130 mph wind uplift and Class A fire resistance. • Stone-coated steel or standing-seam metal for superior hail and wind durability and energy savings up to 25 %. • Synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield in valleys to combat wind-driven rain. • Ridge-vent or solar attic fans to expel humidity and reduce heat buildup. We review your budget, HOA guidelines, and aesthetic goals before finalizing a material choice.
Can you help me file an insurance claim after storm damage?
Absolutely. We have on-staff claim specialists who understand Alabama’s insurance regulations. After a hail or wind event we conduct a no-cost inspection, document damage with photos and video, and generate a detailed Xactimate estimate that matches insurer pricing. We meet your adjuster on site, advocate for proper code upgrades (drip edge, ice shield, ventilation), and handle supplemental paperwork. Many homeowners pay only their deductible when coverage is approved.
How long does a typical roofing project take and what is the process?
Most single-family asphalt shingle replacements in Etowah are completed in 1–2 days, while metal or complex roofs may take 3–4 days. The workflow is: 1) free inspection & written proposal, 2) material selection and color proof, 3) permit acquisition and HOA approval, 4) tear-off and deck repair, 5) underlayment, flashing, and shingle/metal install, 6) magnetic nail sweep and debris haul-off, 7) final walkthrough and warranty handoff. We provide daily progress updates via text or email and leave your property cleaner than we found it.
