On workmanship
Pell City is about thirty minutes from our Alabama office on Alton Road in Irondale, straight down I-20, so we can usually look at your roof the same day or the next morning. We work all over town, from the streets around 1st Avenue North and the old mill neighborhood to homes along Logan Martin Lake in Cropwell and nearby Riverside. The City of Pell City handles building permits through its Planning and Zoning and Building Inspection office, and it requires a city business license before work begins. We take care of the permit on every job.
Pell City was founded by railroad investors in 1890 and became a city in 1891. It nearly failed a few years later and came back in 1902, when Sumter Cogswell built the cotton mill that later became Avondale Mills. Logan Martin Dam created the lake in 1964. So Pell City has mill houses that are more than a hundred years old, lake houses from the 1960s on and newer homes near I-20, and each kind of house brings its own roof problems.
On older mill houses we check for extra layers of shingles and soft spots in the decking, the wood under the shingles. On lake homes we look at how the roof has held up to wind coming across open water, and on every house we check the flashing, the metal that seals around chimneys and walls. You’ll get photos of every side of the roof and an honest answer about what it needs, if anything. Call our Irondale office at (205) 623-2446 to talk to a real person.

We cover Pell City and every surrounding community
Pell City has been hit by tornadoes again and again. On January 10, 1975, an F3 crossed downtown and stopped the First National Bank clock at 4:11 in the afternoon. An F2 started behind the school on the west side and crossed downtown on November 24, 2001, and on February 26, 2008 an EF-1 with 105 mph winds damaged roofs on six homes on Holiday Estates Drive. More recently, on May 9, 2024, winds of about 65 mph downed trees around Pell City and tore the metal roofing off a storage building on Highway 231 south of town, and the storms of May 27, 2024 brought down more trees along Highway 78.
Wind like that can lift shingles and break the seal that holds them down, and it can pull metal panels loose at the edges. Much of that damage is hard to see from the ground. Insurance companies want proof of what happened and when, so it’s smart to have the roof checked after a storm. Our inspections are free, and we’ll tell you honestly if we don’t find anything.
We can usually be there the same day you call or the next morning. Our Irondale office is about thirty minutes away by I-20, and we cover the 35125 and 35128 zip codes, plus Cropwell (35054) and Riverside (35135). If water is coming in, tell us when you call so we can tarp the roof first.
The City of Pell City’s Planning and Zoning and Building Inspection office at City Hall, 1905 1st Avenue North. The city’s permit form says contractors must have a City of Pell City business license before work begins. We pull the permit and schedule the inspections for you. SWAT also holds a current City of Pell City business license.
Older homes often have a second layer of shingles over the first, and once there are two layers, the new roof should start with a full tear-off down to the wood so we can replace any boards that have gone soft. We also check the chimney flashing closely, because the original metal on older houses often gets patched instead of replaced. We’ll explain what we find and price it before any work starts.
Homes on open water catch stronger wind than homes tucked in the trees, so we pay close attention to how the shingles are nailed and sealed at the edges and ridge. Impact-resistant shingles and metal roofs are both good choices for a lake house, and we’ll walk you through the cost and the trade-offs. We also install siding and gutter guards if those took a beating too.
If wind, hail 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 roof is off, we send them an updated estimate with photos.
We price every roof in person, because a small mill house with two layers to tear off and a big lake house with a steep roof and several roof lines are very different jobs. Our inspector measures the roof and checks 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.
