A productive first conversation needs the property address, current condition, desired outcome, and preferred timing.
Helpful details to gather
- Project address or at least the five-digit ZIP code.
- Photos you can take safely from normal living areas or ground level.
- Approximate age and known history of the roof and any known layers or repairs.
- The problem you most need to solve.
- Must-have outcomes and ideas that are still optional.
- Timing constraints, access needs, occupants, pets, or upcoming events.
Before a site visit is scheduled
Coverage, general fit, and current availability should be confirmed first. A site visit does not create an agreement or guarantee that the project will be accepted. Provider identity, required credentials, scope, terms, and price must be documented before work.
Mobile re-roof permit planning
Build Mobile publishes a specific re-roofing permit application and states that residential re-roofs must meet the minimum requirements of the Coastal Construction Code supplement. The application also calls for photos at intervals of construction. Alabama requires a residential roofers license for qualifying work. Current requirements must be confirmed for the property and performing contractor.
