- Closing papers. A home inspection report or seller disclosure often notes the roof's age and material.
- Your policy's declarations page. It shows your wind deductible and whether any FORTIFIED discount already applies.
- Storm dates and photos. If you noticed something after a spring storm, note the date.

Storm Record Near Moores Mill

Closer to home, NWS surveyed an EF0 tornado on December 16, 2019 that touched the Spencer Lake and Spencer Estates subdivisions in nearby Meridianville.

Which Office Permits a Moores Mill Re-Roof
Depending on your address, your home falls under Madison County or the City of Huntsville. The two offices have different rules.
For unincorporated addresses, Madison County's Building Inspection Department requires a permit for roofing and re-roofing regardless of cost. The office is at 266-A Shields Road in Huntsville and is open weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Call (256) 746-2950.
If your lot is inside the city, Huntsville's rule applies. Huntsville requires a building permit for most work over $250, and re-roofing isn't on the exempt list. Your roofer pulls it through the Inspection Department (256-427-5331).
Unsure which side of the line you're on? The county website has a zoning inquiry tool, and your roofer should confirm before the permit goes in.

Why Moores Mill Homeowners Start Here
We don't do roofing work. We match you with one independent roofer and step aside.
- A licensed roofer. Alabama requires an HBLB license for roofing jobs over $2,500. The license number must be printed on your contract, so check it on the HBLB lookup before you sign.
- No deductible games. A roofer who offers to cover your deductible is waving a red flag. It can amount to insurance fraud, and it's a pressure tactic.
- A cancel window. If your insurer denies the claim, you can cancel the roofing contract before midnight on the fifth business day after that notice. No payment is due before then.
- FORTIFIED questions answered. Alabama insurers must discount FORTIFIED roofs. Discounts vary by insurer; ask yours.

Common Questions From Moores Mill
Is Moores Mill part of Huntsville?
Mostly not. Moores Mill is a census-designated place in Madison County, and most homes fall under county rules. Some may be inside Huntsville city limits, depending on your address. The county's zoning inquiry tool can tell you.
Will my Moores Mill re-roof need a permit?
Yes, under either office. Madison County requires one for roofing and re-roofing at any cost, through (256) 746-2950. Inside Huntsville, a building permit is needed for most work over $250, and re-roofing isn't exempt. Your roofer normally pulls it.
Has a tornado hit Moores Mill?
We found no National Weather Service survey that names Moores Mill. Madison County as a whole had 6 tornado impacts on April 27, 2011, and nearby Meridianville had an EF0 in December 2019. That history is a reason to know your roof's condition, nothing more.
Can I get a Strengthen Alabama Homes grant here?
Not right now. The program isn't currently offered in Madison County,. Check StrengthenAlabamaHomes.com for the counties it covers. You can still ask your insurer about the FORTIFIED discount, and about the endorsement that pays for a FORTIFIED Bronze upgrade when a covered loss needs a new roof.
What happens if my claim is denied after I sign?
Alabama law lets you cancel a roofing contract paid through insurance before midnight on the fifth business day after the insurer's written denial. The roofer can't collect payment until that window closes, except for emergency work you approved in writing.
