Hartselle, Alabama · Morgan County

TL;DR
Three Stone Roofing & Exteriors works in Hartselle from its North Alabama office at 4960 Corporate Drive in Huntsville, about 26 miles away. Two-thirds of Hartselle's homes went up between 1960 and 1999, so most roofs in town are replacements already and many are coming due again. Permits run through the building office at City Hall on Chestnut Street NW, whose page says most structure alterations require one. Each inspection is free, photographs every elevation, and ends in a written roof replacement or repair proposal.
The typical Hartselle roof sits on a house built around 1981, the city's median year in Census estimates, and it is rarely that house's first roof. About 37% of Hartselle's homes date from the 1960s and '70s and another 30% from 1980 to 1999. Roughly one home in ten is older than 1960, and only about 6% have gone up since 2010.
On houses of that age the shingles are only part of the question. A Hartselle inspection should also find out whether the last roof was laid over an older one, whether the decking along the eaves has gone soft, and whether the chimney and sidewall flashing was reused. We photograph every elevation and send you the report whether or not anything needs doing.

Hartselle's building office at City Hall, 611 Chestnut Street NW, issues the city's building permits, and its web page states that most structure alterations require permits. Roofing and siding aren't named there, so call 256-773-2535 with your address and the scope of the job before a start date goes on the calendar.
The written proposal we leave after an inspection lists the tear-off, decking, underlayment, flashing, vents and gutters line by line, which is exactly the description the city office will want. From that first visit to the final walkthrough and the warranty registration, one project manager carries the Hartselle job.
Gutters and siding are the two things most worth pricing alongside the roof on a Hartselle house from the 1960s or '70s. Gutters that old have sagged and leaked through the same decades as the shingles. We replace them with seamless aluminum gutters formed on site, and a 6-inch K-style run carries roughly 40% more water than a 5-inch one on a long or steep roof.
Siding is the bigger decision. Original wood or early vinyl can give way to James Hardie fiber cement in lap, board-and-batten or shingle profiles, and as a Hardie Select Contractor we register the 30-year product and 15-year ColorPlus finish warranties. Where the siding is still sound, a repaint follows our six steps: wash, mask, repair, prime, paint and inspect.
Three Stone's commercial division re-roofs shops, offices and churches across the Southeast, and Hartselle businesses are served from our Huntsville office. Hartselle's downtown is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a commercial historic district. Low-slope commercial roofs, there or anywhere in the city, are replaced in TPO, EPDM or modified bitumen.
A commercial roofing job is phased around business hours so the doors can stay open. As a Carlisle SynTec Authorized Applicator, Three Stone can offer Carlisle's No Dollar Limit warranties. The division also handles inspections, roof reports, maintenance and leak investigation for owners who need to know where a roof stands before they budget for it.
Services in Hartselle
Most Hartselle projects start with a full roof replacement in CertainTeed or GAF architectural shingles, because so many houses here are on a second or third roof. Hardie siding is the next upgrade worth weighing on the 1960s and '70s homes. A sound roof with a single leak gets a roof repair quote instead, and garages can take a Penntek polyurea flake floor.
From the gallery
CertainTeed Landmark in Driftwood, Landmark PRO Max Def in Charcoal Black and Spectra 6-inch K-style gutters are gallery projects, not Hartselle houses. We picked them because those shingles and that gutter size fit the 1960-to-1999 homes that make up most of the city.

Answers
Call Hartselle's building office at 256-773-2535; it is in City Hall at 611 Chestnut Street NW. The city's page says most structure alterations require permits but doesn't list roofing or siding by name, so describe your project and ask before it is scheduled. Our line-item proposal gives you the wording.
A Hartselle house from the 1980s rarely still has its original roof, and one that does is long overdue. More often the first replacement went on sometime in the 2000s and is now showing granule loss, brittle shingles or cracked pipe boots. A free inspection photographs every slope and shows you which roof you have.
Flat and low-slope roofs on Hartselle businesses are replaced by our commercial division in TPO, EPDM or modified bitumen. We also inspect, maintain and write roof reports for commercial owners, investigate leaks, and schedule the work in phases so a shop or office can keep trading.
Our Huntsville office at 4960 Corporate Drive, Suite 120, sends inspectors to Hartselle, about 26 miles away. Call (256) 434-7333 or book online; most Hartselle inspections land on the calendar within one business day, and an active leak or fresh storm damage is usually seen the same day.
