Roof Guides for Eastern Shore Homeowners
A ceiling stain, loose shingle, or storm concern raises different questions. These Eastern Shore guides explain what to look for and what to tell us when you call about the roof.
Roof trouble rarely arrives with a diagnosis. A stain may come from flashing, a vent or an attic air handler; shingles in the yard after a storm raise different questions from an aging roof patched several times. These guides start with what you can see and explain what a roofer, an insurer or a building office decides.
They are written for Daphne, Fairhope and the rest of Baldwin County, where hurricane history, wind-rated materials, FORTIFIED rules and separate city permit offices all change the answer.
