Certified Roof Inspections
Our team will conduct a comprehensive inspection of your roof to assess its condition and overall health. We will then identify current or potential issues, and provide options moving forward.
Residential Roofing
Your roof protects your home and family, so it’s important to keep it in good condition. Let our skilled roofers inspect your roof and recommend solutions to keep your family "covered"!
Commercial Roofing Services
Sustain your operations with professional commercial roofing services. Our skilled Denver roofers can handle tasks across various grocery stores, hotels, shopping malls and more.
Routine Roof Maintenance
We offer comprehensive roof and siding maintenance plans that help you get the most out of your investment. Let us help keep your roofing system in top shape, prolonging its lifespan.
Emergency Roof Repairs
Extreme weather can damage your roof, requiring urgent repairs. Our Denver roofing experts can detect and fix even minor issues, handling small repairs before they escalate into major expenses.
Gutter Installation & Repair
Our roofing contractors install seamless gutters and gutter guards to protect your property from clogs and excess water. We will help you choose the best gutter system and accessories for your property.
Wind-Driven Rain and Hail Repair
Wind-driven rain and hail are common in the Birmingham area. Gusts push water under shingle laps and around vents and chimneys. Hail bruises shingles and knocks off protective granules. Interior leaks can surface weeks after the storm.
At Forest Roofs, a local Alabama Roofing Company, we inspect your entire roof and document everything. You will receive photos, moisture readings, and an adjuster-ready report. If decking is exposed, we install a same-day dry-in to stop further damage.
Repairs target weatherproofing and service life. We replace fractured shingles and damaged flashing. We also reseal penetrations and upgrade underlayment in valleys and eaves. Ask about impact-rated shingles, ring-shank fasteners, a sealed roof deck, and stronger edges for Central Alabama storms.
Minor issues can grow into more significant problems for a roofing system, especially if left untreated because you don’t know what to look for.
Signs it's time to call a professional Denver roofing contractor:
Sagging Roof
Sagging areas could indicate a hidden water leak. The spot beneath the sag might show damage, leading to costlier repairs.
Clogged Gutters
A good gutter system keeps dirt, leaves, debris, and pests out. If these build up, they can cause clogs and water issues, leading to costly damage if not addressed.
Water Damage
If you notice water damage in your home or business, contact a professional immediately. A quick check can help stop mold or mildew from leaks.
Loose Roof Nails
This problem often occurs in areas with changing temperatures, which make materials expand and contract. These changes can lead to roof issues, wood decay, and other concerns.
Higher Cooling & Heating Bills
Homes with weak roofs struggle more with changing temperatures throughout the year. If your energy bills spike with the seasons, your roof might not be energy efficient.
Damaged or Missing Shingles
Bad weather can loosen roof shingles, which lets water damage the roof and cause rot. If you see any loose or missing shingles, call a professional right away. Delaying could harm your roof and put your property at risk.
How Birmingham’s Storms Stress Your Roof
Due to its humid subtropical climate, spring and late-fall systems bring strong outflow winds and wind-driven rain throughout Greater Birmingham. These forces lift shingle edges and break seals. Water then tracks into joints, ridge vents, and skylight surrounds.
Summer brings high-intensity downpours, and tropical remnants contribute to prolonged rain events. Heat and humidity weaken old seal strips, which can foster algae staining. At Forst Roofs, we strongly recommend seasonal maintenance and minor repairs to prevent larger failures.
