We provide emergency service. We can tarp and stabilize the roof immediately to stop water intrusion, then return for a full assessment and repair once your home is secure.

Yes. Cardinal Roofing’s roof inspections are free, with no obligation. We look at your roof, attic signs and gutters, then put what we find in writing so you can decide on a repair, a replacement or nothing at all.

What a free inspection includes:

• Roof surface: missing, lifted or creased shingles, granule loss, hail bruising and soft spots.
• Flashing and penetrations: chimneys, vents, pipe boots and skylights, where most leaks start.
• Gutters and drainage: granules in downspouts, overflow and fascia damage.
• Interior signs: ceiling stains or attic moisture, if you point them out.
• A written summary with photos you can keep, including for your insurance adjuster if there’s storm damage.

There’s no pressure and no cost. If the roof is fine, we’ll tell you. Book one any time at (205) 769-4944 (we’re open 24/7) or request an inspection online.

It depends on your roof’s size, pitch and complexity, the material you choose and the condition of the decking underneath. Cardinal Roofing gives you a free written estimate before any work begins, and financing is available.

What drives the price:

• Size and pitch. Roofs are priced by area (“squares”). Steeper roofs need more safety setup and labor.
• Complexity. Valleys, dormers, skylights and chimneys add flashing work.
• Material. Architectural asphalt shingles, metal, tile, slate and wood shake each cost different amounts and last different lengths of time.
• Decking condition. Rotted or soft plywood found during tear-off has to be replaced.
• Ventilation and extras. New vents, gutters or skylight replacement.
• Insurance. If storm damage is covered, your out-of-pocket cost is usually your deductible. Be wary of anyone offering to “cover” it (why that’s a red flag).

A repair usually fixes isolated problems like a few missing shingles, one leak or failed flashing. Replacement makes sense when damage is widespread: sagging, curling or buckling shingles across the roof, repeated leaks, daylight through the boards, or an aging roof with rising energy bills.

Catching problems early often means a repair instead of a replacement (can a timely repair save a replacement?).

The quickest way to know is a free inspection: we’ll give you an honest, written repair-or-replace recommendation. Call (205) 769-4944.

Yes. Cardinal Roofing documents storm damage with photos and written findings, can meet your adjuster on site when possible, and restores the roof to code so your claim goes smoothly. You choose your contractor, not the insurance company.

How it works:

1. Free inspection right after the storm, including a written summary and photos.
2. You file the claim with your insurer (we can explain what to say).
3. Adjuster visit: we can be there to point out the damage.
4. Scope and approval: we work from the approved scope and flag anything code requires.
5. Repair or replacement, then final paperwork for your file.

Your deductible is yours to pay. Any contractor offering to waive or “cover” it is a red flag (here’s why). Hail or wind damage? Read what to do after a storm and call (205) 769-4944, 24/7.
