Roof Replacement
We replace roofs. It's what we do more than anything else. Our Whatley crews average 15-20 complete tear-off and replacements per month. That kind of volume means we've seen every situation: steep pitches, multiple layers, rotted decking, improper ventilation from the last guy. We fix all of it and install a roof system that's warranted for decades.

Improper step flashing is the leading cause of roof leaks at wall-to-roof transitions. Step flashing needs to be woven between shingle courses with each piece extending 4" above the shingle exposure. We see Whatley homes where the last roofer used continuous L-flashing or just caulked the gap. That always fails. We tear it out and install proper step flashing with a kick-out diverter at the bottom per IRC R905.2.8.3.

Wind speeds above 60 mph cause shingle tab lift and adhesive seal failure per ASTM D7158 testing protocols. Our Whatley inspectors check the entire windward exposure. Not just the obvious damage. Poor ventilation causes ice dams which cause water intrusion under the shingle field during freeze-thaw cycles. We document all contributing factors so your insurance claim covers root-cause repairs, not just surface patches.

Building a custom home in Whatley? We work directly with you and your architect on material selection, color coordination, and budget planning. From designer shingles to standing seam metal, we install it all and back it with manufacturer plus workmanship warranties.
Get a Free Quote →Metal Roofing
Metal roofing reflects solar heat instead of absorbing it. In Alabama, that means 15-25% lower cooling costs compared to dark asphalt shingles. The higher upfront cost pays for itself over the life of the roof. And the life of a metal roof is twice or three times longer than shingles.

Shingle color matters more than you think. Dark shingles absorb heat. Great for cold Alabama winters, harder on cooling bills in summer. Lighter colors reflect heat. Algae-resistant granules prevent black streaking. We bring shingle samples to your Whatley home so you can see them against your siding and trim.

PVC membrane for Whatley restaurants, commercial kitchens, and facilities with rooftop grease exhaust or chemical exposure. PVC resists oils and animal fats that destroy TPO and EPDM membranes. We install IB Roof Systems and Duro-Last PVC with factory-fabricated accessories for watertight penetration details. Built-up roofing (BUR) uses 3 or 4 plies of fiberglass felt in hot asphalt with a gravel or cap sheet surface. Oldest proven flat roof system, with 30+ year service life in Alabama. We still install BUR when the application calls for it.
Get a Free Quote →Commercial Roofing
For commercial kitchens and restaurants in Whatley, PVC membrane is the only option that resists animal fat and chemical exposure from rooftop grease exhaust. We install IB Roof Systems and Duro-Last PVC with heat-welded seams and custom accessories. Modified bitumen with SBS or APP polymer-modified asphalt for high-traffic commercial roofs. Two-ply systems with 20-year NDL (No Dollar Limit) warranties from Johns Manville or Firestone.

Gutter replacement in Whatley costs $8-$15 per linear foot installed. That includes hangers, end caps, outlet drops, miters, and at least two downspout runs. Copper is $25-$40 per foot. We give exact pricing in the estimate. No ranges.
Get a Free Quote →Roof Inspection
Our inspection covers the roof and the attic. From the attic, we check for daylight through the roof deck, moisture stains on rafters, mold on sheathing, and ventilation function. Problems in the attic often indicate roof issues that aren't visible from the surface.

Fallen tree damage requires immediate structural assessment before tarping. If a tree has displaced rafters, cracked a ridge beam, or pushed through ceiling joists, the structure is compromised. We assess from both exterior and attic, coordinate with structural engineers or framing contractors when needed, and tarp only areas that are structurally stable enough to support the tarp hardware. Insurance claims for tree strikes require separate line items for tree removal, structural repair, and roofing repair. We document each scope independently.
Get a Free Quote →Skylight Installation
We install three types of skylights: fixed (sealed, just for light), vented (opens for airflow. Great for bathrooms and kitchens), and tubular (flexible tube through the attic. For tight spaces where a standard skylight won't fit). Each serves a different purpose.
