On Workmanship
Birmingham is not one roofing market. It is a dozen. The craftsman bungalows of Highland Park and Forest Park are a century old and built like it. Crestwood and Avondale carry mid-century rooflines under real trees. East Lake, Roebuck, and Huffman run block after block of post-war brick ranches on their third shingle cycle, and the western neighborhoods still carry the memory of April 27, 2011 in ways the rest of the city does not. One company covering all of that has to actually know the difference, and that is the job. SWAT Roofing’s Alabama headquarters sits just east in Irondale: free inspections, Alabama license and insurance, and a real person at (205) 623-2446.
What we bring to every Magic City roof is the same regardless of the neighborhood. We photograph every slope, from the ground, from a drone, and on the shingles. We document wind damage as seriously as hail, because in Jefferson County the wind usually comes at night and gets discovered at dawn. We price older decking honestly, by the sheet, before tear-off. And when insurance should be paying, one project manager runs your roof repair or replacement from the first photo to the final check. If your roof is fine, that is what we will tell you, for free.

We cover Birmingham and every surrounding community
Birmingham’s storm history needs no introduction here. April 27, 2011 devastated Pratt City and the western neighborhoods, and it remains the day this city measures everything against. The 2021 Fultondale EF-3 came at night to the northern edge. The December 2023 windstorm began its thirteen-mile run at Oxmoor Valley just after midnight, the same night an EF-1 tornado crossed Homewood, and the February 26, 2026 supercell dropped hail up to two inches across Jefferson County. NWS Birmingham logs severe weather through this metro every spring and fall, most of it without headlines.
Different neighborhoods take that weather differently. Century-old bungalow roofs crack where newer laminate would bruise, mid-century streets blur storm damage into age, and the tree canopy that makes Birmingham beautiful turns every wind event into a limb event somewhere. All of it is claimable when it is photographed and dated, and none of it is claimable forever. That is the whole case for a free inspection, and it is the most honest sales pitch we have.
Our Alabama headquarters is in Irondale, minutes east of most of the city, so Birmingham sits inside our same-day ring. After overnight storms, crews roll at first light, and after major events we work the hardest-hit neighborhoods street by street.
The City of Birmingham, through its permitting office. We pull and manage the permit on every job, and for addresses in the smaller cities inside the metro, we confirm jurisdiction first, since Jefferson County has more than thirty permit offices.
Yes, and we like those jobs. Highland Park and Forest Park roofs deserve careful tear-offs, plank decking priced by the sheet before work starts, and shingle profiles that suit the architecture while meeting modern wind ratings. Century homes are craft work, and we staff them that way.
Walk the yard, not the roof. Photograph limbs, shingle pieces, and granule piles at the downspouts, then call us. We tarp anything open the same morning and photograph every slope before the evidence weathers away. Most nocturnal wind damage is invisible from the ground, so the free inspection is worth it even if the yard looks clean.
Yes. From Crestwood to Ensley, if it is inside the city, it is inside our service area, same crews, same documentation standard, same warranty. No neighborhood gets a different version of us.
Honestly, you probably cannot tell from the yard. Wind creases shingles up at the ridge where nobody can see it, and hail bruises the layer underneath the granules. The damage shows up later, as a leak, after the claim has gotten harder. Our inspection is free: we photograph every slope from a drone and on the roof, then show you exactly what we found. If there is nothing wrong, we say so.
Yes, start to finish. One project manager photographs the damage, helps you file, meets your adjuster on the roof, and stays on the claim through the final check. You never have to translate between your roofer and your insurance company, because they are talking to the same person: ours.
It depends on the roof: size, pitch, material, and what the decking looks like once we get there. That is why we quote in writing after a free inspection, never over the phone. If a storm caused the damage, insurance often covers replacement and you pay your deductible. Our roof replacement cost guide lays out typical pricing by material so you know the ballpark first.
Yes. When a roof ages out and there is no storm to pay for it, we work with GreenSky & GoodLeap: $0-down options, fixed rates, no prepayment penalties, and you can pre-qualify in minutes without dinging your credit. Details are on our financing page.
Yes. SWAT Roofing holds Alabama Home Builders Licensure Board license #41811 and full insurance for Alabama residential work. Our installers are manufacturer-certified, we hold the Atlas Pro+ Diamond designation earned by the top 2 percent of roofers in the country, and every roof we install carries a 10-year workmanship warranty.
No pressure, no obligation and usually on-site within 24 hours. Storm damage doesn't wait, and neither do we.
