Hayden is a town in southwestern Blount County, just east of Rickwood Caverns State Park, and we work on homes all over it, from the roads around Hayden Mountain to Armstrong Loop and the streets near Interstate 65. Our Alabama office is in Irondale, about forty minutes away, and our crews work in Blount and north Jefferson counties every day, so we can usually look at your roof the same day you call. We check with the Town of Hayden or Blount County about the permit your job needs and take care of it for you.
Hayden is spread out, with town limits that wind around pockets of county land, and Hayden Mountain rises as a low ridge northwest of town. Census figures put the typical home in the 35079 zip code at about 30 years old, and nearly nine in ten are owner-occupied. Many Hayden roofs are on their original shingles or their second set, and a lot of houses sit on wooded lots where storms bring down limbs.
On Hayden roofs we look for hail bruises and worn spots on the shingles, check the rubber boots around the plumbing vents and look at the flashing, the metal that seals around chimneys and walls. On wooded lots we also check the decking, the wood under the shingles, for limb damage. You’ll get photos of every side of the roof and an honest answer about what it needs, if anything. Call (205) 623-2446 to talk to a real person.

On the morning of March 31, 2021, a brief EF-0 tornado touched down near Armstrong Loop and Russell Drive in Hayden and knocked down trees, according to National Weather Service storm reports. A few weeks later, on April 24, 2021, hail up to 1.25 inches wide fell in Hayden, and storms on August 6, 2023 brought down numerous trees around Hayden and Warrior. On November 25, 2025, two tornadoes touched down just south of here in north Jefferson County.
Hail can bruise shingles and knock off their gritty coating, and a falling limb can crack the decking while the roof still looks fine from the yard. Insurance companies want proof of what happened and when, so it’s smart 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. Our crews work in Blount and north Jefferson counties every day, and we cover the whole 35079 zip code. If water is coming in, tell us when you call and we’ll get a tarp on the roof first.
It depends on your address. Hayden’s town limits wind around pockets of county land, so some homes are in town and others are in unincorporated Blount County, which has different rules. We check with the town and the county about your address and handle any permit the job needs.
Hail damage doesn’t always leak right away, so it’s possible. A shingle that lost its gritty coating or cracked underneath wears out faster and may start leaking a few years later. A free inspection takes about an hour and gives you dated photos of the roof as it is today.
Shade keeps a roof damp after rain, which lets moss and algae grow, and leaves clog the valleys, the low channels where two roof slopes meet, and the gutters. Have a tree service look at any dead or leaning trees over the house, and clean your gutters a couple of times a year so water drains off the roof.
If hail, wind or a falling tree caused the damage, your policy often covers it, minus your deductible. 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, and if we find hidden damage once the old shingles come off, we send them an updated estimate with photos.
We price every roof in person, because the size and pitch of the roof and the condition of the wood underneath change the cost. Our inspector measures the roof and checks the decking first, which keeps surprise change orders off the job. Our roof replacement cost guide shows typical prices by material, and your free inspection comes with a written price.
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. It can help when a roof is simply worn out and insurance won’t cover it. Our financing page has the details.
