About ALRoofLeak

ALRoofLeak operates an Alabama-focused referral directory for emergency roof leak repair services. We do not perform roofing work, do not employ roofers, and do not hold any roofing or general contractor licenses. We connect Alabama homeowners and property managers with independent licensed roofing contractors through a pay-per-call affiliate network for 24/7 storm tarping, tornado- and hurricane-damage repair, hail-claim documentation, and AIUA wind-pool work.

How we make money

When a call results in a booked job, the provider's network pays ALRoofLeak a referral fee. You pay the roofer directly. The fee does not increase your quoted price.

How Alabama roofing licensing works

Alabama regulates large commercial and residential roofing work through the Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors (genconbd.alabama.gov). Any prime or subcontract roofing job with a contract value of $50,000 or more requires the contractor to hold a current Alabama General Contractor license. Smaller residential roofing work is generally regulated at the local jurisdiction level — most Alabama cities require a business license, proof of general liability insurance, and workers' compensation, and many require permits for re-roof and structural-deck work. On the Gulf Coast, the Alabama Insurance Underwriting Association (AIUA) is the state's wind-pool insurer of last resort and has specific contractor and inspection requirements for hurricane-related claims. Our network partners are verified for state licensing where applicable, local business licensing, general liability insurance ($1M+), and workers' compensation. Always verify a contractor at genconbd.alabama.gov and ask for their certificate of insurance before signing anything.
