Roofers in Huntsville, Alabama
30 roofing companies are listed for Huntsville. Your request goes to one roofer, not five.
Short answer: None of the 30 roofers listed for Huntsville has a license match on the state registry yet, so ask any roofer for a license number and look it up before you sign. A standard asphalt re-roof on a 2,000 sq ft Huntsville home runs $6,160–$13,640 at the local 0.88× cost index, and a metal roof $14,960–$35,200. NOAA's storm record for the county shows hail up to 2.75 in., so get an inspection after a big storm before you accept a quote.

Compares your price per square foot with the Huntsville installed range (tear-off and underlayment included). Not a judgment of any one roofer.
How much life is left in my Huntsville roof?
Typical lifespans are published ranges for each material; for a Huntsville house, real life also depends on installation, attic ventilation and the weather Huntsville gets.
If insurance covers it, what do I pay in Huntsville?
Only if the claim is approved. The ACV math is a straight-line example over a 25-year life; insurers writing Huntsville policies use their own schedules, so check your policy.
Has hail hit my Huntsville roof since it was installed?
County-level hail reports for Huntsville from the NOAA archive this page uses; a county report is not proof of damage at your Huntsville address.

Roofing in Huntsville: local conditions
Huntsville and the Tennessee Valley region are in one of the most tornado-active corridors in the United States — the April 2011 Super Outbreak produced EF5 tornadoes within 50 miles of the city and killed over 250 people across North Alabama. Hail accompanies many of the same severe weather systems, and Madison County averages 5 significant hail days per year.
NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and Redstone Arsenal have attracted a highly educated, high-income population to Huntsville, creating above-average demand for premium roofing products and lifetime-warranty shingles. The city's growth rate is among the fastest in Alabama, providing new-construction roofing demand that has attracted contractors from surrounding states.
