From roof replacements and storm damage repairs to siding, gutters, and commercial projects — here is every service Ridgeline Construction offers across Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.
Since 2012, Ridgeline Construction has been the name families trust when their home needs a new roof, fresh siding, or reliable gutters. Co-founded by Lauren and Terry Marsh in North Alabama, the company has grown from a small roofing crew into a full-service exterior contractor with three offices, 55 employees, and more than 10,000 completed projects across two states.
What has not changed is the philosophy: treat every home like it belongs to someone in your family. That approach earned Ridgeline Construction GAF President’s Club status (top 1% of U.S. roofing contractors), the BBB North Alabama Torch Award for Ethics 2023, and a 4.9-star average across hundreds of verified reviews.
Whether you need a full roof replacement after a hailstorm, a siding upgrade that transforms your curb appeal, or seamless gutters that actually protect your foundation, this page is your guide to everything Ridgeline Construction services include — and why thousands of homeowners choose us over national chains.
Our Services
Ridgeline Construction specializes in six core service categories. Each is backed by manufacturer certifications, factory-trained crews, and extended warranties most contractors cannot offer.
Our professional roofing services cover replacement, repair, storm damage, metal roofing, and roof assessments across Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.
Full tear-off and re-roof using GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning shingles. As a GAF President’s Club contractor, Ridgeline Construction can offer the Golden Pledge warranty on qualifying systems — lifetime limited workmanship coverage on qualifying systems, with 25 or 30 non-prorated years depending on the shingles, backed by GAF under the issued warranty’s conditions.
Leak repair, missing shingle replacement, flashing fixes, and routine maintenance. Storm damage? We offer emergency tarping to protect your home while your insurance claim processes, often within hours of your call.
James Hardie fiber cement, vinyl, and LP SmartSide installation. As a James Hardie Preferred Contractor, our crews are factory-trained on fiber cement techniques that protect your warranty and ensure a lasting finish.
Seamless aluminum gutters custom-fabricated on site, plus gutter guard installation to eliminate clogs for good. Properly sized gutters protect your foundation, landscaping, and siding from water damage year-round.
Hail, wind, and tornado damage restoration with full insurance claim assistance. Ridgeline Construction works directly with your adjuster, documents all damage with photos and measurements, and handles the paperwork so you do not have to.
Roof Replacement: Our Most-Requested Service
Roof replacement accounts for the majority of Ridgeline Construction projects, and for good reason. North Alabama and the Gulf Coast see severe weather — hailstorms, straight-line winds, and the occasional tornado — that shortens roof lifespans well below the 20–30 year industry standard. When your roof reaches the end of its useful life, a full tear-off and re-roof is the only way to ensure your home stays protected.
What a Ridgeline Construction Roof Replacement Includes
- Complete tear-off — We remove all existing shingles down to the deck. No layovers, no shortcuts.
- Deck inspection and repair — Rotted or damaged decking is replaced before any new material goes on.
- Ice and water shield — Applied at eaves, valleys, and penetrations for leak-proof protection at the most vulnerable points.
- GAF or CertainTeed shingle system — Full system installation (starter strip, field shingles, ridge caps, ventilation) per manufacturer specifications.
- Lifetime warranty options — GAF Golden Pledge (lifetime limited workmanship with 25 or 30 non-prorated years by shingle; eligible owner and system terms apply) or CertainTeed 5-Star (25 years workmanship, 50 years materials). Transfer eligibility and notification requirements depend on the warranty issued for the installation.
- Magnetic nail sweep and full cleanup — We leave your property cleaner than we found it.
Most residential roof replacements are completed in a single day. Larger or more complex projects — multi-story homes, steep pitches, extensive deck repair — may take two days.
Roof Repair and Maintenance
Not every roof problem requires a full replacement. Roof repair makes sense when the damage is localized and the rest of the roof has years of life remaining. Ridgeline Construction handles everything from a single missing shingle to major storm-damage restoration.
Common Repair Services
- Leak detection and repair — We trace the leak to its true origin point (not just where the water shows up inside) and fix it permanently.
- Storm damage restoration — Hail-dented shingles, wind-lifted sections, and debris impacts. We photograph and document everything for your insurance claim.
- Flashing repair — Chimney flashing, pipe boots, and wall-to-roof transitions are the most common leak sources. We replace them with long-lasting materials.
- Emergency tarping — When a storm breaches your roof, we deploy emergency tarps to prevent interior water damage while your claim processes. Our crews prioritize elderly and disabled homeowners for emergency response.
- Annual maintenance inspections — A 30-minute inspection catches small problems before they become expensive ones. We recommend annual checkups, especially after severe weather season.
Siding: Transform Your Home’s Exterior
New siding does more than improve curb appeal — it adds insulation, reduces energy costs, and protects the structural framing behind your walls from moisture damage. Ridgeline Construction installs three primary siding types, each with distinct advantages.
James Hardie Fiber Cement
The premium choice for Alabama and Florida homes. James Hardie fiber cement siding resists rot, termites, woodpeckers, and fire. The ColorPlus factory-applied finish comes with a 15-year paint warranty — meaning you will not repaint for over a decade. As a James Hardie Preferred Contractor, Ridgeline Construction crews are factory-trained on installation techniques that protect your warranty and ensure the longest possible lifespan.
Vinyl Siding
A budget-friendly option that has improved significantly in recent years. Modern insulated vinyl siding adds R-value to your walls while offering fade-resistant color that never needs painting. It is lightweight, low-maintenance, and available in profiles that convincingly mimic wood grain.
LP SmartSide
Engineered wood siding treated with SmartGuard to resist termites, fungal decay, and impacts. LP SmartSide offers the authentic look of real wood with dramatically better durability. It is paintable, so you can change colors in the future without replacing the siding itself.
Ridgeline Construction provides free inspections and estimates for every service we offer — roofing, siding, gutters, storm damage, and commercial projects. No pressure, no obligation. Call or click to schedule.
Gutters: Your Foundation’s First Line of Defense
Gutters are one of the most underrated components of a home’s exterior. When gutters fail — or when a home has no gutters at all — rainwater cascades down the walls, pools around the foundation, and eventually causes basement flooding, soil erosion, and structural settling that costs thousands to repair.
Ridgeline Construction installs seamless aluminum gutters, custom-fabricated on site to the exact dimensions of your roofline. Seamless gutters eliminate the joints where sectional gutters leak and collect debris. We offer 5-inch and 6-inch profiles depending on your roof’s square footage and pitch, and we match gutter color to your trim for a clean, finished look.
Gutter Guards
Tired of cleaning gutters twice a year? Gutter guards prevent leaves, pine needles, and debris from entering the gutter channel while allowing water to flow freely. We install mesh-style and micro-mesh guards that handle the heavy tree canopy common across North Alabama and the Gulf Coast. Most homeowners recoup the cost of gutter guards within a few years through reduced maintenance and avoided water damage.

Ask which manufacturer-backed coverage and separate contractor workmanship promise are included in your estimate.
