Arab, Alabama · Marshall County
Arab is a Marshall County city on Brindlee Mountain, about 29 miles from our Huntsville office. Most of its roughly 3,600 homes were built between 1960 and 1999, and we re-roof, re-side and re-gutter them.
TL;DR
Three Stone Roofing & Exteriors serves Arab from its Huntsville office, about 29 miles away. The National Weather Service lists Arab among the communities on the path of the April 27, 2011 EF-4 tornado, and most of the city's houses, built between 1960 and 1999, are on at least their second roof. Permits come from the City of Arab Building Department on North Main Street. Inspections are free and photograph every elevation; book one online.
Arab is one of the communities NWS Huntsville names along the April 27, 2011 tornado's path. The survey rated that tornado EF-4, with peak winds of 175 mph, and traced it 47 miles across Cullman County, briefly into Morgan County and on into Marshall County, through Ruth, Union Grove and Arab.
If your Arab roof went on in the rebuilding after that storm, it is about fifteen years old now. A free inspection checks how its edges, flashing and vents have held up, photographs every slope, and sends you the report whether or not anything needs attention.

Most of Arab's houses are on their second or third roof by now. Census estimates put about 36% of homes in the 1960s and '70s and 33% between 1980 and 1999, with a median build year of 1979. Another 15% date from before 1960, and only about 16% have gone up since 2000.
A house in that range should be re-roofed down to the deck. Our crews pull every layer, swap out soft boards, replace the flashing at chimneys and sidewalls and correct the ventilation before CertainTeed or GAF architectural shingles, standing-seam metal or BRAVA composite go down. Most Arab homes are finished in one to two days.
The City of Arab Building Department, at 740 North Main Street (256-586-5968), is the office to ask about a permit for a re-roof or siding job in the city. We haven't confirmed Arab's specific roofing requirement, so call with your address and scope before a start date is set.
An address outside the city may fall to Marshall County instead; ask the county if the city points you there. Our itemized proposal gives either office a clear account of the work, from tear-off to the last downspout.
Gutters, siding and garage floors can join an Arab re-roof under the same project manager. Seamless aluminum gutters formed on site replace sagging runs on older houses, and a 6-inch K-style gutter carries roughly 40% more water than a 5-inch one on a large or steep roof.
For siding, James Hardie fiber cement replaces worn vinyl or wood, with Hardie's 30-year product and 15-year ColorPlus warranties registered by us as a Select Contractor; Norandex vinyl is the other option. A Penntek polyurea flake floor, which Penntek rates four times stronger than epoxy, can finish a garage or patio.
Services in Arab
Arab's 1960s-to-1990s houses and its storm history put full roof replacement and storm repair at the top of the list. Our Haag-certified advisors document wind and hail damage and meet your adjuster on the roof; you file the claim. Hardie siding is the upgrade most worth pricing on the older houses.

GAF Timberline UHDZ in Weathered Wood, CertainTeed Landmark PRO Max Def in Charcoal Black and Spectra 6-inch K-style gutters are from our gallery, not from Arab. We chose them because they match the re-roof most Arab houses built between 1960 and 1999 will need next.

“Best company ever! They worked with our insurance and handled everything! Absolutely the best crew of guys also!

Answers
Arab is among the communities the National Weather Service lists along the April 27, 2011 tornado's path. NWS Huntsville rated it EF-4, with peak winds of 175 mph, on a 47-mile track from Cullman County into Marshall County. A roof put on after that storm is now about fifteen years old.
Arab's Building Department answers at 256-586-5968, from its office at 740 North Main Street. Call before a re-roof or siding job is scheduled and ask whether your project needs a permit; we haven't confirmed the city's roofing requirement ourselves. Addresses outside the city may need Marshall County instead.
Most 1970s houses in Arab are torn off and re-roofed in one to two days. Replacing soft decking can add time, and a steep pitch, standing-seam metal or BRAVA composite takes longer. Materials are staged and the lawn and driveway protected before the first day, and the proposal gives your schedule.
We help with insurance after a storm in Arab by documenting the damage, not by filing for you. You file the claim; our Haag-certified, insurance-trained advisors give you a photo report and scope of repair, and meet the adjuster on the roof to walk through what they found.
