In our climate, the constant expansion and contraction from heat and storms often breaks the seal on old flashing. For a durable fix, we recommend high-quality, pre-formed metal flashing, often aluminum or galvanized steel, paired with a weather-resistant sealant designed for our Alabama humidity and temperature swings.

For our hot, humid summers and occasional severe storms, look for architectural or dimensional asphalt shingles. They offer superior wind resistance (often rated for 110+ mph) and have enhanced UV inhibitors to resist cracking and curling better than traditional 3-tab shingles, providing longer-lasting protection for your home.

For a reliable patch, we suggest using a synthetic roofing underlayment. It's more tear-resistant and provides a better secondary water barrier compared to traditional felt, especially important during our frequent heavy rain showers. It's also lighter and easier for a DIYer to handle safely on the roof.
