Harvest, Alabama · Madison County
Harvest was hit by tornadoes in April 2011 and again in March 2012, and about four in ten of its houses were built in the 2000s. We inspect, repair and replace its roofs from Huntsville, about 10 miles away.
TL;DR
Three Stone Roofing & Exteriors serves Harvest from its Huntsville office, about 10 miles away. Harvest is unincorporated, so permits come from the Madison County Inspection Department, which lists roofing, re-roofing and siding among the work that needs permits and inspections regardless of cost. About 42 percent of its roughly 2,300 homes were built from 2000 to 2009. The National Weather Service found EF-4 damage in Anderson Hills on April 27, 2011, and called the Harvest area one of the worst hit by the March 2, 2012 EF-3.
Both Harvest tornadoes left damage the National Weather Service singled out in its surveys. On April 27, 2011, the long-track tornado that NWS Huntsville rated EF-5 overall crossed Limestone and Madison counties, and in the Anderson Hills subdivision well-built homes lost entire walls, damage the survey put at low-end EF-4, around 170 mph. Mobile homes south of Harvest were destroyed.
Less than a year later, on March 2, 2012, an EF-3 with 140 mph winds came through again. The NWS survey describes the damage along Yarbrough Road, Old Railroad Bed Road, Bridges Drive, Bedford Lane and Wall Triana Boulevard as one of the worst hit areas around the Harvest community.

Many Harvest roofs are reaching that point now. Any roof put on in the repairs after 2011 and 2012 is in its second decade, and so are the originals on houses built in the 2000s, which census estimates put at about 42 percent of Harvest's homes. Another 20 percent have gone up since 2010, and about 29 percent date from 1980 to 1999.
An inspection tells you which group your roof belongs to better than a closing date does. We photograph every elevation, send the report whether or not anything is wrong, and if replacement is warranted, write the proposal line by line. A newer roof with a single problem gets a roof repair, not a pitch for a new one. When a roof does go, CertainTeed and GAF architectural shingles cover most Harvest houses, and impact-resistant lines are worth pricing here.
Harvest re-roofs need a Madison County permit, by the county's own rule. Harvest is an unincorporated community, so building work there is permitted by the Madison County Inspection Department at 266-A Shields Road in Huntsville (256-746-2950), not by a town hall. The county lists roofing, re-roofing, window replacement and siding among the work requiring permits and inspections, whatever the job costs.
A re-roof or a siding job in Harvest therefore goes through the county's process, with inspections as part of the schedule. One project manager runs the work from the first visit through the final walkthrough and warranty registration, and most houses are torn off and re-roofed in one to two days once the crew starts.
After a storm in Harvest, photograph what you can see from the ground, stay off the roof, and call. Active leaks and fresh storm damage are triaged first, usually the same day, and the crew carries tarp material to make the house watertight on the first visit.
You file the claim with your insurance company. Our advisors are Haag-certified and insurance-trained; they produce the photo report and scope the claim needs and meet the adjuster on the roof, so the damage is measured once, with both sides looking at the same shingles.
Services in Harvest
Roof replacement and storm repair come first in Harvest. After that come seamless gutters formed on site in 5-inch or 6-inch K-style and sized to the roof, and James Hardie siding where vinyl has cracked or faded. About 83 percent of Harvest homes are owner-occupied, and for those a Penntek polyurea flake garage floor, rated by Penntek four times stronger than epoxy, is a lasting upgrade.

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