Mountain Brook
Roof Repair & Replacement

Most of the time we can be there the same day you call. Our Irondale office is about twenty minutes from Crestline Village, and we cover all of Mountain Brook, including the 35213, 35223 and 35243 zip codes. A tree on the roof gets a tarp right away to keep the rain out, and then we’ll talk through next steps with you.

The City of Mountain Brook’s Building Inspections office issues them. A permit is required to re-roof or replace shingles, and it has to be issued before work starts. Every city in Jefferson County handles permits a little differently, so we check the rules for your address and pull the right permit for you.

Trees can wear out a roof faster even on calm days. Shade keeps the roof damp after rain, which lets moss and algae grow. Leaves clog the valleys and gutters and hold water at the roof’s edge, where it can seep under the shingles. Trimming back low branches and cleaning your gutters a couple of times a year helps a lot.

Steep roofs like the ones on many Mountain Brook Tudors are work we’re set up for. They take more time and safety gear than a low ranch roof, and each peak, dormer and chimney needs new flashing put in the right way, not just a coat of caulk. We plan for that in your quote. We also work on slate, clay tile and other roofs that aren’t asphalt shingles, so you won’t need a second company for a house with mixed materials.

Start by looking from the ground for missing or crooked shingles, dented gutters, shingle grit near your downspouts or new stains on upstairs ceilings. A lot of storm damage can’t be seen from the yard, though, so it’s worth having us check even if everything looks fine. A free inspection takes about an hour, and you’ll get dated photos of anything we find.

Often it will, as long as wind or a storm brought the tree down, and your policy and deductible decide exactly what’s covered. We work with every major insurance company, and one SWAT project manager stays with your claim from the first call to the final payment, meeting your adjuster and handling the paperwork. Any hidden damage we find after the old roof comes off goes to your insurer as an update, called a supplement, so it gets covered too.

We don’t give prices over the phone, because two houses that look alike can need very different roofs. A steep Tudor with several peaks takes much more material and labor than a ranch house the same size. Our inspector checks how steep your roof is, how many layers are on it, the shape of the wood underneath and the materials you want. Pricing it in person keeps your quote accurate and makes costly change orders after tear-off much less likely. Storm-damaged roofs are often covered by insurance, minus your deductible, and our roof replacement cost guide shows typical prices by material.

Yes, through our lending partners GreenSky and GoodLeap, subject to credit approval. Financing helps when insurance doesn’t cover the whole job or when an older roof just needs replacing. Options include $0-down plans, fixed rates and no penalty for paying early. Our financing page has the details, or your project manager can walk you through it.
