With Alabama’s active weather patterns, strong thunderstorms and even tornadoes frequently move through the Birmingham area. These storms can cause serious damage to your roof, sometimes in ways that are not immediately visible.
At Above All Roofing Professionals, we regularly help homeowners identify and repair storm related roof damage before it turns into costly problems.
Most Common Types of Storm Damage in Alabama
Hail Damage
Hail is one of the leading causes of roof damage in Birmingham and surrounding areas. Even small hailstones can weaken shingles, leading to granule loss and a shorter roof lifespan. If you suspect hail damage, it is important to have a professional inspection to determine the severity.
Fallen Tree Limbs and Debris
High winds often bring down tree limbs or even entire trees onto roofs. This can cause anything from minor shingle damage to major structural issues.
Wind Damage and Missing Shingles
Strong winds can lift or completely remove shingles. While missing shingles may seem like a small issue, they expose your roof to moisture, which can lead to wood rot, leaks, and even attic damage over time.

What To Do After a Storm
Document the Damage
Take clear photos of any visible damage, including fallen limbs or impact areas. In severe cases, such as a tree on your roof, documentation is critical for insurance claims.
Schedule a Professional Inspection
Not all damage is visible from the ground. A professional roofing contractor can safely assess your roof and identify hidden issues.
Contact Your Insurance Company
Many policies cover storm damage, and having proper documentation will help streamline your claim.
Free Roof Inspections
If you believe your home may have storm damage, do not wait. At Above All Roofing Professionals, we offer free roof inspections. Our team will thoroughly assess your roof, document any damage, and help guide you through the next steps, whether it is repairs or an insurance claim.
