Roofing and Exteriors in Homewood, Alabama

Jefferson County

Homewood is a bungalow city on small lots, and both of those facts change how a roof job runs. The houses are close together and the driveways are short, which makes staging material and running a dump trailer a logistics problem that a crew unfamiliar with the neighborhood will get wrong.

Small lots mean the job has to be planned, not just performed

In Edgewood and Hollywood you frequently cannot park a dump trailer in the driveway, and the house next door is fifteen feet away. We walk the site before the job to work out where material lands, where debris goes, and which neighbor we need to give a heads-up to. We also tarp and hand-carry over landscaping rather than letting tear-off free-fall into beds that took a decade to establish.

What we see on Homewood roofs

Roof advice that ignores when your house was built is guesswork. Here is how Homewood's housing stock breaks down and what each era means for you.

1920s–1940s

Edgewood and Hollywood bungalows and Tudor cottages

Original decking is often 1x6 plank with gaps, which does not meet current fastener requirements. If plank decking shows up mid-tear-off it changes the scope, so we inspect for it and price it before you sign rather than presenting it as a surprise.

1950s–1970s

West Homewood and Mayfair

Lower-pitch ranch roofs, frequently with add-on porches and carports at shallow slopes where standard shingle is not rated. These transitions are the leak points.

What we do in Homewood

Homewood roofing questions

What happens if you find plank decking under my shingles?
It is common in pre-war Homewood homes and it is not a disaster. Gapped 1x6 plank will not hold a nail reliably at modern spacing, so we overlay it with new sheathing. Because we expect it here, we inspect for it up front and show you the cost before the job starts instead of calling you from the roof with a change order.
Can you work around my street parking and my neighbors?
Yes, and in Edgewood that planning is most of the job. We stage material where it will not block the street, keep the dumpster or trailer to the shortest possible time on site, and let the immediate neighbors know the day before.
My porch roof is nearly flat and it leaks. Can shingles fix it?
No, and that is why it leaks. Standard asphalt shingle is not rated below a 2:12 pitch. Low-slope porches and carports need a rolled or single-ply membrane. We install the correct system for the pitch rather than shingling it and hoping.
