How to check Apex General Construction on the Alabama record
Alabama roofing-license requirements are not yet covered by our verification program — confirm licensing and insurance with your city or county building department
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
- Have the insurer or agent send the certificate of insurance to you, since a license says nothing about coverage.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
Hail and wind history for Dothan and Houston County
From 2017, NOAA has logged 12 hail reports in Houston County. On 6 of those days, hail reached 1 inch (a quarter) or more. The worst part: 1 days with stones of 1.75 inches or larger, topped by a 2.75-inch stone about the size of a baseball. The most recent golf-ball day in the record dates to 2024.
March is the peak month with 36 percent of reports, and April to July together hold 43 percent. 6 months of the year are close to hail-free on file.
Houston County has too few reports for a fair density rank inside Alabama, so read the counts above as a floor.
After any hail day, photograph the roof before anyone tarps it and write down the date. Ask Apex General Construction, or any roofer you call, for a written inspection report before you sign.
Thunderstorm wind peaked at 85 mph in the record.
NOAA also lists 30 tornadoes here, the strongest rated EF2.
