Homewood's post-war brick ranches and bungalows are packed tight along streets like Oxmoor Road and Broadway, with mature oaks hanging over the roofs and gutters that have seen decades of Alabama heat. The lots are narrow, the driveways short, and the tree canopy heavy, which means a metal roof here has to be planned around access, shade, and drainage from the start.
Homeowners in 35209 call Birmingham Metal Roofing because we know how shingles bake and grow algae in this humidity, and we know the difference between a quick patch and a roof that will hold through the next round of Dixie Alley storms. We are based in Birmingham, fully insured, and a Metal Roofing Alliance Member, and we work throughout Homewood and the surrounding neighborhoods.
Metal Roofing in Homewood (35209)
Most Homewood roofs sit on tight residential lots where the house is close to the property line and the trees are taller than the ridge. Those oaks and pines drop limbs and fill the gutters, and the shade keeps the roof surface damp longer, which is exactly where algae and moss take hold on asphalt shingles. When we install metal, we plan the panel layout around the tree canopy and the low-slope sections over porches and additions, and we make sure the gutters and downspouts are sized for the volume of water that comes off a metal roof. The older ranches and bungalows often have settled or uneven framing, so we check the decking and fastening before we ever talk about panels.
Our team has worked on homes throughout Homewood, from the streets near Samford University to the blocks off Green Springs Highway, and we understand the local building department's inspection rhythm. We also handle the retrofit work that lets you go over existing shingles where code allows, which is common on these post-war homes with one layer of old asphalt.

How a Job Works in Homewood
Step 1: You call (205) 946-3891 or request a free estimate online. We schedule a time to walk the roof with you, check the decking, flashing, and gutters, and talk through whether a repair, a retrofit, or a full replacement makes sense for your home. We give you a written scope and a clear price before any work starts.
Step 2: On install day, our insured crew protects your landscaping and driveway, stages materials on the street or in the driveway depending on the lot, and works around the tight access that is common in Homewood. If your home is in a historic district or under an HOA, we coordinate the paperwork and color approval before we order panels. We pull the required roofing permit and schedule the inspection with the city.
Step 3: We clean the site daily, magnet-sweep for nails, and do a final walkthrough with you to check the panels, flashing, and gutters. We do not leave until you have seen the finished work and we have answered every question.
Pricing in Homewood depends on the size and pitch of your roof, the condition of the decking, access around the lot, and how quickly you need the work done. As a ballpark, metal roof installation starts at $8 per square foot, standing seam at $10, metal roof replacement at $9, and a metal roof over shingles retrofit at $7. Repairs and leak fixes start at $450, screw replacement and re-fastening at $750, and flashing, chimney, or skylight repair at $600. Gutters for metal roofs start at $9 per linear foot. Every roof is different, so call (205) 946-3891 for a free estimate and a real number for your home.
