ROOF FRAMING IN MOBILE AL

---

Our process begins with a thorough inspection. We examine:

• Rafters, trusses, and ridge beams
   
• Support beams and joists
   
• Roof decking and underlayment
   
• Signs of wood rot, termite damage, or water intrusion
   

We use advanced moisture detection tools to uncover hidden issues that visual inspection alone might miss.

Neighborhood anecdote: In Grand Bay, we inspected a home where the owner noticed slight sagging in the attic. While the shingles looked fine, our team discovered moisture-damaged trusses in the middle of the roof. By reinforcing the trusses before shingles failed, we prevented what could have been a major roof replacement.

Storm damage, water leaks, or age-related wear can compromise your roof’s structure. JD Titan Roofing provides legal and certified repairs under our Alabama Unlimited Builder license #25918.

Common repairs include:

• Reinforcing weakened trusses
   
• Replacing damaged decking or joists
   
• Repairing ridge beams or rafters
   
• Treating termite or moisture-related wood damage
• You should always use a licensed general contractor in Mobile, AL.
   

Case study: After Hurricane Sally, a homeowner in Irvington had a cracked ridge beam. Our licensed team reinforced the existing structure rather than replacing the entire roof. This approach saved the homeowner nearly half the cost of a full replacement while keeping the roof code-compliant and structurally sound.  Semmes & Saraland: Soil movement and humidity can subtly weaken framing over time. 

Planning a roof replacement or building a new home? We design and install complete roof framing systems that are engineered for your property type, roof material, and Mobile’s environmental conditions.

Our new framing services include:

• Gable, hip, and flat roof designs
   
• Engineered truss systems
   
• Heavy-duty framing for slate, metal, or tile roofs
   
• Proper pitch, ventilation alignment, and load distribution
   

This ensures your roof is not only strong but also energy-efficient, with improved attic ventilation and load-bearing capacity to resist wind uplift.

Neighborhood insight: Homes in Theodore and Grand Bay often face high wind loads during Gulf storms. By installing reinforced trusses and hurricane clips, we reduce the risk of structural failure and increase the lifespan of the roof. West Mobile & Cottage Hill: Modern homes sometimes require structural upgrades during roof replacements. 

Not every home requires a full rebuild. Strategic reinforcement can address sagging, shifting, or weakened areas. Our team strengthens key load points, redistributes weight, and secures weak joints.

Reinforcement benefits:

• Extends roof lifespan
   
• Improves resistance to heavy rainfall and high winds
• Using a state certified contractor for structural work assures you that the work is being done to the required standards.
   
• Reduces insurance claims by preventing future structural damage
   

Local example: In Semmes, we reinforced an older home’s trusses that were beginning to warp from years of humidity. With proper reinforcement, the roof remained fully functional through a subsequent storm season.   Midtown & Spring Hill: Older homes often need truss reinforcement and moisture protection. 

Different roofing materials require specific framing considerations:

• Asphalt Shingles: Standard framing with proper ventilation and weight distribution
   
• Metal Roofing: Additional support and fastener reinforcement to handle expansion/contraction
   
• Slate & Tile Roofs: Heavy-duty trusses and joists to support extra weight
   
• Flat Roofs (TPO, PVC, Modified Bitumen): Engineered slope and decking for proper drainage
   

By tailoring the frame to the material, we ensure your roof performs optimally, resists weather, and lasts decades.

Even with a solid frame, regular maintenance is key:

1. Annual Inspections: Especially after storms or high winds.
    
2. Attic Checks: Look for sagging or moisture buildup.
    
3. Trim Trees: Prevent branches from falling and damaging trusses.
    
4. Monitor Shingles: Missing or damaged shingles may indicate underlying framing issues.
    
5. Hire Licensed Professionals: Only a State Licensed Unlimited Builder should perform structural repairs.
