Dothan Premium Roofing provides professional storm damage restoration in Dothan, AL for residential and commercial properties across the Wiregrass. On October 10, 2018, the eye of Hurricane Michael crossed into Seminole County, Georgia at about six in the evening, still a Category 3 with 115 mph sustained winds. Extreme Wind Warnings covered Houston County. Dothan lost power to twenty-four thousand customers.
That is the event this market has to plan around, and it is why the restoration sequence here runs differently from a coastal one. The National Weather Service logged extensive damage at Gordon, Madrid, Cottonwood, Ashford and Columbia, all inside twenty-five miles of the Ross Clark Circle. None of those roofs were built to a coastal standard, because nothing in the code has ever required it of anyone here.
Restoration starts at the perimeter, not the field. In a long-duration inland wind event the failure begins at a rake or an eave, peels the starter course, and then unzips upslope one row at a time for as long as the wind lasts. By the time water reaches the ceiling the visible damage sits well away from where it started, and a scope written off the ceiling stain misses the cause entirely.
So we photograph the edge condition on every slope before touching anything, then the deck, then the field. Dated, organized by slope, and yours to keep whether or not we end up doing the work. If you file, your adjuster receives exactly the same file we are working from, which removes most of the usual argument before it starts. Nothing gets held back for bargaining later.
Then we sequence it. Make it dry, make it safe, and only then make it permanent. Tarps go on with battens screwed into the deck rather than sandbags, because the second squall in a tropical pattern arrives before the first has finished. Trees come off by a licensed crew before anybody walks the slope, and we will wait rather than send someone up early to look busy for you.
We are blunt about scope as well. A roof with twelve lifted tabs on one elevation is a repair, even after a named storm, and we will not write it as a total loss to make the number bigger. A roof with the starter course gone on two elevations is not repairable and we will not pretend it is. Both answers arrive with photographs attached and quantities you can count.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — hemmed edge metal locked to a continuous cleat, nails driven through the common bond of every shingle, gable-end deck re-nailing at four inches on center, soffit panels clipped into a fastened receiver channel, starter course carried up both rakes, standing-seam panels on floating clips — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Dothan and nearby communities including Rehobeth, Cowarts, Taylor, Kinsey.

Materials, equipment and how we do storm damage restoration
The difference between storm damage restoration that lasts and storm damage restoration that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with hemmed edge metal locked to a continuous cleat, nails driven through the common bond of every shingle, gable-end deck re-nailing at four inches on center, soffit panels clipped into a fastened receiver channel, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Dothan job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Wiregrass means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Dothan Chooses Dothan Premium Roofing
- ✓Houston County sits in the federal wind zone that asks the least, sixteen miles from Florida counties that ask far more, and we detail for the storm rather than the zone
- ✓Every proposal lists an edge-metal profile, a fastener count and a deck-nailing schedule before it lists a shingle brand
- ✓We decline to sell impact-rated glazing and Class 4 shingles here, because neither the debris region nor the local hail record supports the premium
- ✓Gable-end and corner sheathing gets re-nailed at four inches on center, since that is where a hurricane eighty miles inland begins taking a deck apart
