Galvalume standing-seam metal roof on a raised coastal home near Mobile Bay under a humid sky

Spring Hill is Mobile's oldest suburb, the high ground west of Midtown with the college, the country club, the old estates and the post-war neighborhoods around them, and it has the biggest residential roofs in the city: 3,000 to 6,000 square feet of hips and valleys, often with a metal porch, a detached garage and a pool house to match. The owners here tend to buy the roof once; Spring Hill has more standing-seam Galvalume and premium designer shingles than any other part of Mobile, and we install both, with the formed flashing and the coastal fasteners a metal roof needs to last 50 years. On the post-war ranches off Old Shell and Dauphin west the roofs are simpler and the choice is usually a Class H architectural shingle built FORTIFIED, with the grant.

The pines are the Spring Hill problem. The lots grew up under a stand of loblolly that was thinned for houses, and a tall pine standing alone over a roof is the classic hurricane failure; nearly half the Hurricane Sally claims in Mobile and Baldwin counties involved a fallen tree, and in Spring Hill it was usually a pine. A pine through the decking is a tarp the night of the storm, a deck rebuild and a slope repair in daylight, and a claim with photos from the start, and we've done enough of them here to have the routine down. The rest of the year the pines drop straw into every gutter and shade north slopes into permanent algae, which is why we push micro-mesh guards and algae-resistant shingles on every Spring Hill roof we quote.

Questions from Spring Hill homeowners

Is metal worth it on a Spring Hill house?

On a roof this size that you plan to keep, usually. Standing seam costs two to three times a shingle roof, lasts 40 to 60 years, handles wind and pine straw better, and can be FORTIFIED for the insurance discount. We price both so you can decide.

A pine fell on my roof. What's the order of operations?

Call us, we coordinate the tree crew and tarp the deck the moment it's clear, photograph everything for the claim, then rebuild the decking and the slope in daylight. See emergency tarping.

Does the grant cover a large Spring Hill roof?

Up to $10,000 of the FORTIFIED mitigation cost for a Mobile County primary residence, regardless of roof size. On a big roof it won't cover the whole upgrade, but the insurance discount on a large coastal policy makes up the rest quickly.

How long does a big roof take?

Two to three days for shingles on a 4,000-square-foot cut-up roof, three to five for standing seam. We never leave a slope open overnight.
