We work on homes all over Alabaster, from Siluria and the streets along US-31 to Grande View and the neighborhoods off County Road 17. Our Alabama office is on Alton Road in Irondale, about thirty minutes away by I-459 and I-65, so we can usually look at your roof the same day or the next morning. The City of Alabaster issues a separate roofing permit, and we apply for it on every job so you don’t have to.
Alabaster became a city in 1953 and took its name from the alabaster rock mined by the Alabaster Lime Company. In 1971 it merged with Siluria, an old mill town next door. The city’s homes span a lot of years, from older houses in Siluria and near US-31 to the large subdivisions built since the 1990s, so we see everything from roofs on their third set of shingles to first roofs that are just now wearing out.
On older Alabaster homes we check for extra layers of shingles and soft spots in the decking, the wood under the shingles. On newer homes we look for wind-lifted shingles and worn rubber boots around the plumbing vents, which crack in the sun and let water in. You’ll get photos of every side of the roof and an honest answer about whether it needs a repair, a replacement or nothing at all right now. Call our Irondale office at (205) 623-2446 to talk to a real person.

Few cities in the area have seen as many small tornadoes in so short a time. The National Weather Service surveyed tornadoes in Alabaster on March 26, 2009, twice on April 19, 2009, again on March 25, 2010, when a 90 mph EF-1 crossed County Road 17 just south of 1st Avenue West, and on April 15, 2011. More recently, a line of storms on May 27, 2024 brought gusts of 60 to 70 mph through Alabaster, and on May 18, 2025 a tree blocked Grande View Parkway and power lines came down near Benjamin Drive and Smokey Road.
Even a weak tornado or a strong gust can lift shingles and break the seal that holds them down, and those shingles often lie back flat and look fine from the yard until the next hard rain gets under them. 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.
We can usually be there the same day you call or the next morning. Our Irondale office is about thirty minutes from Alabaster City Hall, and we cover the 35007 and 35114 zip codes. A roof that’s letting water in gets a tarp first, and then we’ll talk through next steps with you.
The City of Alabaster’s Building and Engineering Services department has its own permit for roofing, siding and fencing work, and it has to be issued before the job starts. We apply for it and schedule the inspections for you. SWAT also holds a current City of Alabaster business license.
We’ll check how many layers of shingles are on the roof first. Once a roof has two layers, the next one should start with a full tear-off down to the wood, so we can replace any soft or rotted boards before the new shingles go on. If the roof has one layer and the damage is in one spot, a repair might be all you need.
Look from the ground for missing or creased shingles, dented gutters, shingle grit near your downspouts or new stains on the ceiling. Wind damage is easy to miss from below, though, because lifted shingles often settle back down. A free inspection takes about an hour, and you’ll get dated photos of anything we find.
If wind, hail or a falling tree caused it, your policy often does, 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 after the old roof comes off, we send them an updated estimate with photos.
We price every roof in person, because the size and pitch of the roof, the number of layers coming off and the condition of the wood all change the cost. A Siluria house with two layers needs more tear-off work than a newer home in Grande View with one. Our inspector checks all of that first, which keeps surprise change orders off the job. The roof replacement cost guide shows typical prices by material.
