Afford-A-Pro travels from Jasper, Tennessee to handle roofing in Huntsville, AL: metal roofs, shingle replacements, storm repairs, commercial roofs and free inspections, each with a free written estimate.
Huntsville is the largest city in North Alabama, with about 230,000 people in Madison County, Monte Sano Mountain on its east side and the Tennessee River along its southern edge. The Rocket City has grown quickly around Redstone Arsenal, so its housing runs from 1960s, 70s and 80s ranch homes to subdivisions that went up only a few years ago.
That spread of ages matters on the roof. Hail and severe spring storms cross North Alabama often, and a 40-year-old ranch roof and a five-year-old subdivision roof fail in different ways when they do. Choosing the right material, or the right repair, starts with knowing which kind of house you have.
Afford-A-Pro General Construction and Roofing LLC is based in Jasper, Tennessee, about 80 minutes from Huntsville by US-72 through Scottsboro. We travel to Huntsville for full replacements, metal roofing, storm repairs, commercial re-roofs and free inspections. Owner Michael McKinney and the team bring more than 15 years of roofing experience to each Huntsville job.
Many brick ranch houses in Five Points, Blossomwood and Jones Valley sit on aging shingle roofs, and some carry more than one layer, which points toward a full tear-off rather than another patch. Homes in Hampton Cove and South Huntsville are younger but face the same hail, and the historic houses of Twickenham need repairs that respect their original rooflines.

We find where the water is actually getting in and fix it with matching shingles or metal panels. If the roof is close to the end of its life, we tell you that plainly instead of selling a patch. Our roof repair in Huntsville page covers leak repair, storm damage and emergency tarping in full.
A full roof replacement starts with tearing the old roof off down to the deck, which matters on older Huntsville ranch homes where a second layer of shingles was laid over the first. With the deck exposed, we replace any soft or rotted boards before new underlayment goes down.
From there you choose architectural shingles, 3-tab shingles or metal. Most residential replacements take one to three days depending on size and weather, and we clean the yard and driveway of nails and debris before we leave.
We install standing seam and ribbed panel metal roofs as part of our roof replacement work. Standing seam hides its fasteners under raised seams for a clean look on a modern home, while ribbed panel suits ranch houses, barns and outbuildings on larger lots toward the edges of Madison County. See our metal roofing page for standing seam and ribbed panel options.
In a climate with hot, humid summers and spring hail, metal resists the granule loss and curling that wear shingles down. It also sheds the heavy downpours that come with North Alabama thunderstorms, and it needs very little upkeep once it is on.
A free roof inspection is the right first step after a hailstorm, before you buy or sell a house, or when the roof is past 15 years old. We check the shingles or panels, the flashing, the vents and the decking we can reach, then photograph what we find so you can see it yourself.
When a storm tears off a section of roof or drops a limb through it, the first job is keeping water out of the house. Our emergency roofing service covers tarping and temporary patching until the permanent repair can be scheduled, and we document the damage with photos you can share with your insurance carrier.
Huntsville has a large base of offices, shops and light industrial buildings, many with low-slope roofs. Our commercial roofing work includes metal panel roofs, flat roof systems and re-roofing over existing structures, with the scope and options laid out in writing before we start.
Huntsville is a long drive from our Jasper base, so we plan each trip carefully and finish what we start.
We come out to your Huntsville property, inspect the roof at no cost and take photos of any damage.
You receive a written quote listing each material choice, with no hidden fees.
We compare metal and shingle options for your house so you can pick with confidence.
We file the permit with the City of Huntsville or Madison County and set a date.
The crew arrives with the materials ready and keeps you informed as the work moves along.
We review the finished roof with you and clear the site before we drive back.
The price of a new roof in Huntsville comes down to the size and pitch of the roof, the material you choose (architectural shingles, 3-tab shingles or metal), how many old layers have to come off, and whether any decking underneath needs replacing. A one-story ranch home and a two-story house in a newer subdivision can land far apart for those reasons alone. We inspect the roof for free and give you a free estimate for each option, and financing options are available.
It depends on where the house sits and how much work is involved. A property inside Huntsville city limits follows the City of Huntsville requirements, while one in unincorporated Madison County follows the county. We handle the permit application, and schedule the inspections that come with it.
Our base is in Jasper, Tennessee, roughly 80 minutes from Huntsville by way of US-72 through Scottsboro. We make that drive for roof replacements, metal roof installs, repairs, commercial work and free inspections, and we plan each Huntsville job so the crew arrives with the materials it needs.
For a 1960s to 1980s ranch home with a low, wide roof, standing seam or ribbed panel metal is a strong fit because it sheds heavy rain quickly and holds up to hail better than an aging shingle roof. In newer subdivisions, architectural shingles keep the look consistent with the houses around it. We show you both side by side at the estimate.
Lifespan depends on the material and on the weather a roof sees. North Alabama summers are hot and humid and spring storms often bring hail, which wears shingles faster than a milder climate would. A metal roof generally outlasts shingles by decades, and good attic ventilation and quick repairs after storms help any roof reach its full life.
Yes. On every Huntsville job, residential or commercial, Afford-A-Pro General Construction and Roofing LLC carries full liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. Ask for proof of coverage when we come out for the estimate and we will provide it before work starts.
