Gutters →Three numbers that decide most Mobile roof calls
Mobile's roofs live in a specific place: the wettest big city in the country, at the end of hurricane alley, in a state that has decided to reward roofs built for wind. These are the numbers that matter when you're choosing between a repair, a claim, a new roof and a FORTIFIED one.
Of rain a year
The National Weather Service in Mobile puts the average at just over 66 inches, more than almost any larger metro in the country. That is why algae streaks every north slope, why pine straw clogs every gutter, and why a nail pop that would stay dry in Phoenix leaks here by the second summer.
Fewer claims on FORTIFIED homes
The University of Alabama's study of more than 40,000 Mobile and Baldwin County homes through Hurricane Sally found FORTIFIED homes had 55 to 74 percent fewer claims and 14 to 40 percent lower losses. Alabama insurers must offer discounts, and the state will pay up to $10,000 toward the roof.
The line where Alabama law kicks in
Any residential roofing job over $2,500 requires a Home Builders Licensure Board roofer license and a $10,000 bond, and contracts must be in writing. Out-of-state trucks that show up after a hurricane usually have neither. Ask for the Board's license card; ours is on every contract.

Four things that keep our phone ringing
Wind-lifted ridges and edges
Hurricane wind gets under the roof at the edges first: the drip edge, the starter course, the ridge cap. Sally gusted to 81 mph at Mobile Regional and 97 at Dauphin Island. A roof with a sealed deck and an adhered starter strip keeps the water out even when the shingles go.
Hurricane damage →Pipe boots and flashing
The rubber collar on a plumbing vent splits after ten Gulf Coast summers, and caulk over old step flashing fails in three. Nine of ten mystery leaks in Spring Hill and west Mobile are one of these, and both are a few hundred dollars, not a new roof.
Repairs →
Algae, moss and hot attics
Gloeocapsa magma, the black streaking on north slopes, feeds on the limestone in shingles and shortens their life. Under the deck, a 140-degree attic in August cooks the shingles from below and loads the house with moisture. Ventilation fixes both.
Ventilation →Trees through the deck
Nearly half the Hurricane Sally claims in Mobile and Baldwin counties involved a fallen tree. A pine through the decking is a tarp tonight, a deck repair and a slope rebuild in daylight, and an insurance claim with photos from the start.
Emergency tarping →
Mobile sits at the wet end of the Gulf, where the state pays you to build a roof for wind
Mobile is Alabama's second-largest city, just over 201,000 people after the 2023 annexation, with the Port, the bay, 66 inches of rain a year and a hurricane record that runs from Frederic over Dauphin Island in 1979 through Elena, Georges, Ivan, Katrina, Nate, Sally and Zeta to Isaias in October 2026. Ivan came ashore just west of Gulf Shores at 1:50 a.m. on September 16, 2004 at 120 mph; Sally crawled in at 3 mph on the same date in 2020 and left more than 100 trees down in the city and 160,000 homes dark. A roof here is a hurricane decision whether you make it or not.
Alabama responded in a way no other state has. After Ivan and Katrina the legislature created Strengthen Alabama Homes, funded by the insurance industry and run by the Department of Insurance, which has paid up to $10,000 per home toward IBHS FORTIFIED roofs since 2015, more than 8,700 retrofits and $86 million so far, with over 53,000 FORTIFIED homes now in the state, by far the most in the country. A 2009 law requires insurers to offer discounts for them, and most Mobile carriers give 25 to 35 percent off the wind portion for a FORTIFIED Roof. In 2026 the grant is open only to Mobile and Baldwin County homeowners, in quarterly windows. If you live here, this is the single best deal in American roofing.
So we do the boring things right: inspect and photograph before we quote, pull the permit, tear off instead of overlaying, seal the deck and use ring-shank nails whether you're going for the FORTIFIED designation or not, vent the attic so the new roof lasts in this humidity, and print our HBLB license and insurance on the contract. And because we're here year-round, we're the crew that answers when the next one comes up the bay.
Four steps, no surprises
Call or send the form
A leak, a storm date, a roof that's just old, a FORTIFIED question: tell us what you're seeing. We answer around the clock.
Free inspection with photos
We get on the roof and in the attic, photograph every slope, and show you what we found, including when the answer is "it's fine."
Written, itemized price
Tear-off, decking, underlayment, sealed deck, flashing, vents, disposal, permit, every line, good for 30 days. If there's a claim, it's written to the scope your adjuster approves. If there's a grant, we time the build to it.
Built in a day, cleaned like we weren't there
Most homes are done in one day. Magnet sweep for nails, gutters cleared, before-and-after photos and the warranty and FORTIFIED paperwork sent the same evening.
From Midtown and Spring Hill to Tillmans Corner, Semmes and the Eastern Shore
We're across Mobile every week: the 1920s to 1950s houses of Midtown and the historic districts, where the roofs are steep and cut-up and the oaks drop tassels in every gutter; Spring Hill's big houses under tall pines; west Mobile's subdivisions off Airport, Cottage Hill, Hillcrest and Schillinger, built in the 1980s to 2000s and re-roofing by the street; Tillmans Corner and Theodore toward the bay; and the neighborhoods annexed into the city in 2023.
Beyond the city we cover Semmes, Saraland, Satsuma, Creola, Prichard, Chickasaw, Grand Bay and Bayou La Batre, and across the bay, Daphne, Fairhope and Spanish Fort, all inside the two counties the Strengthen Alabama Homes grant covers.

Questions Mobile homeowners ask us
How much does a new roof cost in Mobile?
For a typical 1,800 to 2,400 square-foot Mobile home in 2026, an architectural shingle roof runs about $10,500 to $17,000, a FORTIFIED Roof with the same shingles about $12,000 to $19,500, and a standing-seam metal roof $24,000 to $42,000. That includes tear-off, synthetic underlayment, a sealed deck when you go FORTIFIED, new pipe boots and flashing, ridge vent, disposal and the permit. Soft decking from an old leak, a second layer, steep pitches and a lot of hips and valleys move the number, and you get every line in writing before a shingle moves.
Is my roofer licensed in Alabama?
Alabama requires a Home Builders Licensure Board roofer license, with a $10,000 bond, for any residential roofing job over $2,500, and the Board says quotes and contracts must be in writing by law. Ask to see the Board's credit-card-sized license card, which is different from a city business license, and verify the number at hblb.alabama.gov or 334-242-2230. Ours is on every contract with the certificate of insurance.
What is a FORTIFIED roof and is it worth it?
FORTIFIED is the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety standard: a sealed roof deck so water stays out even if shingles blow off, ring-shank nails in a tighter pattern, a wider drip edge with a fully adhered starter strip, wind-rated vents and Class F or H shingles. It adds roughly $1,500 to $2,500 to a replacement here. In return, Alabama insurers must offer wind-premium discounts, typically 25 to 35 percent for FORTIFIED Roof, and the Strengthen Alabama Homes program pays up to $10,000 toward it for Mobile and Baldwin County homeowners when a window is open. On the Gulf Coast it is almost always worth it.
Can I get the $10,000 Strengthen Alabama Homes grant?
If your primary residence is in Mobile or Baldwin County, probably. The 2026 schedule opened applications quarterly, Mobile and Baldwin on separate days in January, April, July and October, and the grant covers 100 percent of the FORTIFIED mitigation cost up to $10,000. Demand is high and windows fill fast. We'll tell you the next date, help you apply, and build to the standard so a certified evaluator can sign off.
Will my insurance pay for hurricane damage to my roof?
Usually, for a sudden wind event, minus your hurricane deductible, which on the coast is often a percentage of the dwelling coverage rather than a flat number. We photograph the damage before anything is touched, write an itemized estimate the adjuster can work from, and walk the roof with them. What we never do is offer to waive or absorb your deductible; that's insurance fraud, and the HBLB warns about exactly that after every storm.
Do you really answer at night?
24 hours a day, every day, including the night a hurricane comes ashore. If water is coming through a ceiling at 2 a.m., a person picks up, we get a tarp on it as soon as the wind allows, and we come back in daylight to find out what happened up there.
