Hoover covers a lot of ground, from the old ridge-top streets of Bluff Park to Riverchase, Lake Cyrus and Ross Bridge, and it reaches into both Jefferson and Shelby counties. Our Alabama office is on Alton Road in Irondale, about twenty minutes from Hoover City Hall by I-459, so we can usually look at your roof the same day you call. Re-roofing in Hoover needs a city building permit, and we pull it for you on every job.
Hoover became a city in 1967 and was named for William H. Hoover, who owned a local insurance company. It grew fast after it annexed Riverchase in 1980, and a lot of the city’s homes went up in the late 1980s and 1990s. Many of those houses are still on their first or second roof, and a shingle roof from that era is reaching the age where the gritty coating wears thin, the seals around the plumbing vents dry out and small leaks start showing up after hard rain.
On Hoover roofs we check the shingles for worn spots, look at the boots around your vents (the rubber collars that seal them) and check the metal flashing where the roof meets walls and chimneys. In Bluff Park and other wooded areas we also look for limb damage on the decking, the wood under the shingles. You’ll get photos of every side of the roof and an honest answer about whether you need a repair, a replacement or nothing right now. Call our Irondale office at (205) 623-2446 to talk to a real person.

We cover Hoover and every surrounding community
Just after 1 a.m. on December 14, 2020, an EF-0 tornado with winds near 80 mph touched down on Dusty Lane in Bessemer and tracked east into Hoover, uprooting big hardwoods along Parkwood Road near Highway 150 and ending south of Ross Bridge. More recently, the May 27, 2024 storms knocked trees down across Hoover, including on Riverchase Parkway, and on May 17 and 18, 2025 storms brought down trees and power lines on Shades Crest and South Shades Crest Road and dropped hail as big as half dollars in Hoover.
Hail that size can crack a shingle or knock off the gritty coating that protects it from the sun, and a falling limb can crack the wood under the shingles. You might not see any of that from the yard. Insurance companies want proof of what happened and when, so it makes sense to have the roof checked soon after a storm. Our inspections are free, and we’ll tell you honestly when we don’t find anything.
Most days we can be there the same day you call, because our Irondale office is about twenty minutes from Hoover City Hall by I-459. We cover the whole city, including the 35216, 35226, 35244 and 35242 zip codes, and we can tarp a damaged roof right away to keep rain out while you decide on next steps.
A re-roof in Hoover needs a building permit from the city’s building inspections office, and the permit has to be issued before work starts. We apply for it, schedule the inspections and keep a copy for your records, so you don’t have to deal with the city yourself. SWAT also holds a current City of Hoover business license.
It depends on what we find. A shingle roof from the 1990s or early 2000s is often near the end of its life, but plenty of them only need a few shingles or a new vent boot. We’ll show you photos of the wear, tell you how many years we think the roof has left and give you prices for both a repair and a replacement, so the choice is yours.
From the ground, look for dented gutters and downspouts, dents on the AC unit, shingle grit piled near the downspouts or new stains on the ceiling. Hail damage on shingles is hard to see from below, though, so a free inspection is the surest way to know. It takes about an hour, and you’ll get dated photos of anything we find.
Often it will, if wind or hail caused the damage, and your policy and deductible decide exactly what’s covered. You file the claim with your insurance company. We photograph the damage, write up a report, and we’re on the roof when your adjuster inspects it. We send the insurance company our estimate for the repair, and if we find hidden damage once the old shingles come off, we send them an updated estimate with photos.
We don’t quote prices over the phone, because two Hoover houses that look alike can need very different roofs. A two-story home in Ross Bridge with several roof lines takes more material and labor than a ranch house in Bluff Park. Our inspector measures the roof, checks how steep it is and how many layers are on it, and looks at the wood underneath before pricing it, and that keeps surprise change orders off the job. Our roof replacement cost guide shows typical prices by material.
Yes, through our lending partners GreenSky and GoodLeap, subject to credit approval. Options include $0-down plans, fixed rates and no penalty for paying early, which helps when insurance doesn’t cover the whole job or an older roof just needs replacing. Our financing page has the details.
