On workmanship
Morris is a small town on U.S. 31 north of Gardendale, and we work on homes all over it, from the streets near Town Hall on Morris Majestic Road to Hagood Mountain Road, the roads toward Kimberly and nearby Mount Olive. Our Alabama office is in Irondale, about twenty-five minutes away, and our crews work in north Jefferson County every day, so we can usually look at your roof the same day you call. The Town of Morris requires plans to be submitted before repair work begins, and we take care of the permit on every job.
Morris is named for Mary Hunter “Mae” Morris, an early pioneer of the area. The town first incorporated on September 19, 1885, let its charter lapse in the early 1900s and reincorporated on July 11, 1950. Census figures put the typical home in the 35116 zip code at about 32 years old, so many Morris houses are on their second roof by now or getting close to needing one.
On Morris roofs we look for shingles that have lost their gritty coating, rubber vent boots that have cracked in the sun and flashing, the metal that seals around chimneys and walls, that has pulled loose. Morris gets more than its share of hail, so we check for soft bruises on the shingles too, along with limb damage to the decking, the wood under the shingles. 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.

We cover Morris and every surrounding community
Just before 4:45 a.m. on November 25, 2025, an EF-0 tornado with winds near 75 mph began near Hagood Mountain Road southeast of Morris and moved northeast to Brasher Road, snapping and uprooting trees along its 4.2-mile path. A few minutes earlier, an EF-1 with 90 mph winds crossed the Mount Olive area. Hail is common here too: golf ball size hail was reported in Morris on April 8, 2006, and storm reports logged hail up to 1.25 inches in Morris on June 16, 2023 and quarter-size hail near Kimberly on May 18, 2024.
Hail can bruise shingles and knock off their gritty coating, and strong wind can lift shingles and break the seal that holds them down. You often can’t see that from the ground. 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 if we don’t find anything.
Most days we can be there the same day you call. Our crews work in north Jefferson County every day, and we cover the whole 35116 zip code, plus 35117 in nearby Mount Olive. If water is coming in, tell us when you call and we’ll get a tarp on the roof first.
The Town of Morris handles permits and inspections inside town limits, and it asks for plans to be submitted before any repair work begins. Homes just outside the limits fall under Jefferson County. We check which office covers your address and pull the right permit before work starts.
From the ground, look for dented gutters and downspouts, dents on your air conditioner, shingle grit piled near the downspouts or new stains on the ceiling. Hail bruises on shingles are hard to see from below, so a free inspection is the surest way to know. It takes about an hour, and you’ll get dated photos.
The age of the roof matters more than the age of the house, so find out when the shingles were last replaced. Signs of wear include shingles curling at the edges, bald spots where the gritty coating is gone and more grit in the gutters each year. Many roofs still have good years left, and we’ll tell you so when that’s what we find.
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 don’t quote prices over the phone, because the size and pitch of the roof, how many layers have to come off and the condition of the wood underneath all change the cost. Our inspector checks everything in person, which keeps surprise change orders off the job. Our roof replacement cost guide shows typical prices by material.
