Checking Best Choice Roofing against 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
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- 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.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
Storm record for Montgomery and Montgomery County
Since 2017, NOAA has logged 16 hail entries in Montgomery County. Reports of 1 inch or more span 10 days. 3 of those days had golf-ball hail or bigger. The largest stone was 2.75 inches, roughly a baseball. Golf-ball hail shows up last in the record in 2026.
Montgomery County has too few reports for a fair density rank inside Alabama, so read the counts above as a floor.
May is the peak month with 44 percent of reports, and April to July together hold 81 percent. 7 months of the year are nearly hail-free on file.
The strongest logged thunderstorm gust is 71 mph.
If a storm does come through, take dated photos of the roof first. Whoever you hire, Best Choice Roofing included, should put the inspection findings in writing.
18 tornadoes show up in the file too, strongest rated EF2.

The homes under these roofs
Montgomery's median year built is 1977, which makes the typical home 49 years old. Against a median home value of $148,500, a $9,337 mid-range asphalt roof is 6 percent of the house. Asphalt roofs last roughly 25 years, so a home from 1977 is on roof number 2 or later if each was replaced on schedule. 55.5 percent of homes in Montgomery were built before 1980.

| Owner-occupied | 54.3% |
| Homes counted | 94,157 |

Budgeting a roof in Montgomery

Labor is part of the bill: the BLS median for roofers in Alabama is $45,670 a year.
