What roofs face in Alabama
- Hurricanes & tropical storms
- High wind & severe storms
- Hail
- Heat & intense sun
Gulf Coast hurricanes
Mobile and Baldwin counties see hurricanes such as Ivan and Sally. FORTIFIED roofs, with sealed roof decks and enhanced nailing, are increasingly common there.
Tornadoes and severe storms
Central and northern Alabama sit in an active tornado and severe-storm area. Wind-rated installation and post-storm inspections limit damage.
Heat and humidity
Long summers age shingles and feed algae. Ventilation and algae-resistant shingles help roofs last.
Housing in Birmingham and Huntsville
Birmingham's hilly neighborhoods have older homes under heavy tree cover, while Huntsville and Madison have grown quickly with newer subdivisions. Falling limbs and builder-grade roofs reaching replacement are common themes.
Licensing, permits and contracts in Alabama
Alabama requires residential roofers to be licensed by the Alabama Home Builders Licensure Board for jobs above a set amount. The Strengthen Alabama Homes program has offered grants toward FORTIFIED roofs, and state law requires insurers to offer discounts for them.
