Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a roof replacement cost?
A typical roof replacement in Tuscaloosa ranges from $7,000–$14,000 for standard asphalt shingles, and $12,000–$20,000 for larger homes or upgraded architectural shingles. Final pricing depends on roof size, pitch, layers, and storm damage
What is the average lifespan of a shingle roof?
Because of Alabama heat, humidity, and storms, the typical lifespan is 15–22 years for standard shingles and 25+ yearsfor architectural shingles with good ventilation.
How do I know if my roof has storm damage?
Common signs include:
-
Missing or lifted shingles
-
Black hail impact marks
-
Granule loss in gutters
-
Soft or bruised shingles
-
Water stains inside the home
Tuscaloosa sees frequent wind and hail, so yearly inspections are recommended.
Do I need a full roof replacement or just repairs?
Repairs are fine for isolated issues. If your roof has multiple damaged areas, widespread wear, or is 15+ years old, a replacement is usually more cost-effective.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most Tuscaloosa homes are completed in one day. Larger or steeper roofs may require 1–3 days. Weather can affect scheduling due to local humidity and storms.
What are the warning signs of a failing roof?
Signs include curling shingles, roof leaks during storms, missing shingles, granule loss, mold in the attic, and sagging decking.
Is it better to repair or replace an old roof?
If your roof is over 15 years old or has frequent issues after storms, replacement saves more money long-term due to Alabama’s severe weather patterns.
How often should roofs be inspected in Tuscaloosa?
At least once a year and after major hail or wind events. Alabama storms can damage shingles without being visible from the ground.
Why are roof leaks common in Tuscaloosa homes?
High humidity, heavy rain, and temperature swings wear down flashing, shingles, and sealants. Most leaks start around chimneys, vents, valleys, and skylights.
Will homeowners insurance cover my roof replacement?
Insurance typically covers damage caused by hail, wind, and storms, which are common in Tuscaloosa County. Insurance does not cover old age, neglect, or normal wear.
