New Hope, Alabama · Madison County
New Hope is a Madison County city about 19 miles from our Huntsville office, and most of its houses were built in the 1980s and '90s. We re-roof them, re-side them and replace their gutters.
TL;DR
Three Stone Roofing & Exteriors re-roofs and re-sides homes in New Hope from its Huntsville office, about 19 miles away. Census estimates count about 1,100 homes there with a median build year of 1989; about 45% went up between 1980 and 1999 and fewer than one in ten since 2010, so most New Hope houses are on a replacement roof or due for one. The city's Permits & Inspections office at City Hall on Main Drive handles permits. Request a free estimate with a photo report.
New Hope's building boom left a town of houses now 27 to 46 years old, and almost all of them are past their first roof. Census estimates put about 45% of the city's homes in the 1980–1999 bracket, another 19% in the 1960s and '70s, and roughly one in seven before 1960. Only about 8% were built after 2010.
A house of that age has usually had one replacement, sometimes laid over the original. At inspection we look at how many layers are there, whether the decking is soft at the eaves, and how the flashing at chimneys and walls has held up. Every slope is photographed, and the proposal that follows is written line by line, so you can see what the roof needs and what it doesn't.

New Hope's permit fee table lists a permit for "Repair (roof, veneer, windows)", so the city does expect to hear about roof repair work. Full re-roofs and siding replacements are not named on that table. Before a larger job, call the permit clerk at City of New Hope Permits & Inspections (256-723-9227), at City Hall, 5484 Main Drive, and ask what your project needs.
Knowing the permit answer early keeps the schedule honest. Most houses are torn off and re-roofed in one to two days once materials are staged, and our crews protect the drive and the landscaping before the first shingle comes off.
Siding on a New Hope house from the 1980s or '90s is worth checking during the roof inspection, because on many of these houses the siding dates from the same years as the first roof. Faded or brittle vinyl, warped panels and soft trim around windows are the signs that it's time. Replacing them in one project means one set of ladders, one cleanup and one project manager.
We install James Hardie fiber cement siding in lap, board-and-batten and shingle profiles, and Norandex vinyl. As a James Hardie Select Contractor, Three Stone registers Hardie's 30-year product warranty and 15-year ColorPlus finish warranty. On the town's pre-1960 houses with wood siding, exterior painting may be the better fit: our six steps are wash, mask, repair, prime, paint and inspect.
Services in New Hope
New Hope's housing age makes roof replacement the most common job, in CertainTeed or GAF architectural shingles, designer lines, BRAVA composite or standing-seam metal. Siding is a close second on houses that kept their original vinyl, and gutters are worth sizing up when the roof comes off: 6-inch K-style moves roughly 40% more water than 5-inch.

The gallery roofs shown below are not in New Hope. We chose a BRAVA Cedar Shake roof in Aspen, CertainTeed Landmark in Driftwood and 6-inch Spectra K-style gutters on a red brick house because they suit the brick and siding homes New Hope built in the '80s and '90s.

Yes, James Hardie fiber cement can replace aging vinyl on a New Hope house, in lap, board-and-batten or shingle styles. Three Stone is a James Hardie Select Contractor and registers the 30-year product and 15-year ColorPlus finish warranties. If you prefer vinyl, we install Norandex.
Older New Hope houses, roughly one in seven of the town's homes, can be re-roofed like any other once the inspection has checked the decking and framing under the old layers. Steep pitches and composite or metal roofs take longer than the usual one to two days, and the written proposal states the schedule for your house.
New Hope is in our North Alabama service area and is handled by the Huntsville office at 4960 Corporate Drive, Suite 120, about 19 miles away. Call (256) 434-7333; most inspections are scheduled within one business day and come with a photo report even when nothing is wrong.
