Empire, AL Roofing Contractor. Licensed & Insured

Replacing your roof isn't just about shingles. We install ice and water shield in the valleys and along eaves, synthetic underlayment across the whole deck, new drip edge on rake and eave, starter strip, and ridge vent. That's how a roof lasts 30 years in Alabama.

We repair every type of roofing. Asphalt shingles, metal panels, flat membranes, tile. Our guys carry the materials on the truck. Most repairs are same-day once we're on site.

HAAG Certified Inspector on every storm claim we handle in Empire. HAAG certification is the insurance industry standard for forensic roof inspection. Adjusters trust our reports. We document hail hits per square, wind creasing, and granule displacement. FM 4473 hail resistance ratings determine whether your roof qualifies for full replacement or spot repair.

A new roof installation starts with getting the specs right. Roof pitch determines your material options. Attic space determines ventilation needs. Local code determines underlayment requirements. We handle all of that before the first shingle goes on.

Metal roofing costs more upfront at $12-$22 per sq ft installed in Empire compared to $4-$8 for shingles. But it lasts 2-3x longer and your energy bills drop 15-25%. Math works out over time.

Your shingle choice determines your warranty, your curb appeal, and how your roof handles Alabama weather. We'll show you samples, explain the differences, and let you pick what fits your budget. No pressure.

PVC roofing membrane for Empire restaurants, commercial kitchens, and any rooftop near grease exhaust. PVC resists animal fats and chemical exposure that destroys TPO and EPDM. We install IB Roof Systems and Duro-Last PVC with heat-welded seams and custom-fabricated accessories. Built-up roofing (BUR) with 3-4 plies of fiberglass felt in hot asphalt is still the longest-proven flat roof system with a 30+ year track record in Alabama.

Modified bitumen (mod-bit) is still the best choice for high-traffic commercial roofs in Empire. We torch-apply SBS-modified base and cap sheets over properly primed concrete or approved decking. Two-ply mod-bit systems carry 20-year NDL (No Dollar Limit) warranties through GAF, Firestone, or Johns Manville. NRCA member. We follow the manual.

Half-round copper gutters with round downspouts. That's the premium install. We solder joints on-site using 50/50 tin-lead solder. Copper develops a natural patina in Alabama's climate within 5-7 years. For aluminum, we use Spectra Metals .027 gauge seamless with Raytec hidden hangers rated to hold 25 lbs per linear foot of ice and debris load.

Buying a home in Empire? Get an independent roof inspection before you close. Home inspectors look at the roof from the ground with binoculars. We get on it. Big difference.

Emergency tarping is the first priority. We cover the exposed area to stop water entry, then schedule the permanent repair once conditions allow. We don't charge extra for emergency tarp jobs. It's part of the repair cost.

Tubular skylights bring light into tight spaces. Closets, laundry rooms, interior bathrooms. They use a reflective tube through the attic space, so they work even when the roof is far from the ceiling. Installed in a few hours.
