Owens Cross Roads, Alabama · Madison County
Owens Cross Roads sits in the Flint River valley with Green Mountain to the west and Keel Mountain to the east, and about two-thirds of its houses were built after 2000. We roof them from Huntsville, about 15 miles away.
TL;DR
Three Stone Roofing & Exteriors serves Owens Cross Roads from its Huntsville office, about 15 miles away. The city has about 1,000 homes with a median build year of 2006; about 39 percent went up after 2010 and 29 percent in the 2000s, while about a fifth are older than 1980. Permits come from the City of Owens Cross Roads Planning & Building Department. With high ground on both sides of the valley, rain runs downhill toward many houses, which puts gutters high on the list.
Most Owens Cross Roads roofs are young. About two-thirds of the homes were built since 2000, by census estimate, so most roofs here are originals that need inspection and the occasional roof repair more than replacement. The older fifth, from before 1980, includes houses on a second or later roof, and for those, replacement is a live question.
Owners who want something other than architectural shingles can choose standing-seam metal or CertainTeed designer shingles such as Presidential Shake; both are in our gallery, and both are installed by our crews. Metal takes longer than a shingle roof, and the proposal gives the schedule.

Green Mountain and Keel Mountain put a lot of water on the move in Owens Cross Roads. With high ground on both sides of the Flint River valley, a house on a slope takes the rain off its own roof and, in a hard storm, the runoff from the land above it. Gutters sized for the roof, and downspouts that carry water clear of the foundation, matter more on that kind of lot.
We form seamless gutters on site in 5-inch and 6-inch K-style; the 6-inch size moves roughly 40 percent more water and suits large or steep roofs and long runs. Gutter guards, repair work and cleaning come from the same crew.
The City of Owens Cross Roads Planning & Building Department permits building work in the city, issuing its construction, electrical, plumbing, mechanical and gas permits; the clerk's number is 256-725-5204. What a re-roof or siding job needs depends on its scope, so confirm with the department for your address before the work goes on the calendar.
From there one project manager runs the job out of our Huntsville office. Inspections are free and most are scheduled within one business day, the proposal is itemized, and an active leak is triaged ahead of routine work.

Six-inch gutters are often worth it near Green Mountain, especially on a large or steep roof or a long run. A 6-inch K-style gutter carries roughly 40 percent more water than a 5-inch one.
