Roofing in Tillmans Corner, between the airport and the bay
Tillmans Corner takes the wind off the Gulf before the rest of Mobile does, and its roofs show it. Hurricane repairs, replacements built FORTIFIED, and metal for the shops along Highway 90 and Rangeline.
Tillmans Corner is the big unincorporated community south of the city around the Highway 90 and Rangeline Road junction, with Mobile Regional Airport on its west edge, I-10 on its south, and neighborhoods of 1970s to 2000s ranches and two-stories filling in between: Carol Plantation, the streets off Three Notch and Halls Mill, the newer subdivisions toward Theodore. It's a few miles closer to the Gulf than Midtown, and in a hurricane that matters: Sally's gusts at Mobile Regional reached 81 mph, and the Isaias forecast for central Mobile County put gusts at 55 with surge in the low-lying parts. The roofs here lose ridge caps and eave courses in every storm, and a lot of them have been patched after each one instead of replaced.
Most of what we do in Tillmans Corner is the replacement that's overdue. The houses sit outside the city limits, so the permit goes through Mobile County Public Works at 0.5 percent of the contract, on a signed estimate with our HBLB roofer license number on it, and the Strengthen Alabama Homes grant applies to any primary residence here. We tear off, replace the soft OSB, seal and re-nail the deck, install Class H shingles with an adhered starter, swap the turbines for a ridge vent, and schedule the evaluator for the designation and the discount. Along Highway 90 and Rangeline the work is commercial: R-panel and standing seam on shops and warehouses, TPO on the strip centers, and storm response for businesses that can't wait. See commercial roofing.

Questions from Tillmans Corner homeowners
Who issues my roof permit in Tillmans Corner?
Mobile County Public Works, since most of Tillmans Corner is unincorporated. They need a contract or signed estimate on our letterhead with the license numbers, and charge 0.5 percent of the contract. We file it.
Does the Alabama grant cover Tillmans Corner?
Yes. Strengthen Alabama Homes covers primary residences anywhere in Mobile County, city or not, up to $10,000 for a FORTIFIED Roof when a window is open.
My roof has been patched after three storms. Repair again or replace?
If the shingles are brittle and the patches are multiplying, replace, and do it FORTIFIED so the next storm is a non-event. We'll give you both prices and tell you honestly which one makes sense.
Do you roof shops and warehouses?
Yes, R-panel, standing seam and TPO along Highway 90, Rangeline and the airport corridor, with maintenance plans and storm priority for businesses.
