Roofing in Cowarts, AL
Cowarts has no old houses. Not few, none: the American Community Survey records zero housing units in town built before 1950, out of 918 total, which is true of no other place we work. The median build year is 1992 and 226 of those units are manufactured homes, right at a quarter of the stock.
That single fact changes the inspection. There is no plank sheathing here, no board decking with wide gaps, no 1930s rafter spacing to work around. Everything under a Cowarts shingle is plywood or oriented strand board on modern framing, so deck re-nailing is an add rather than a gamble. We will tell you what the deck is before we quote what goes over it.
The wind record is specific too. On April 5, 2022, an EF0 tornado swept a small area of Cowarts along the north side of U.S. 84, uprooting large trees, two of which came down on the side of a home and on a parked car, at $50,000. Houston County took $2.94 million from Hurricane Michael on October 10, 2018, the only county here the weather service logged as a hurricane rather than a tropical storm.
On April 24, 2021, a tree was blown onto a structure here in a 50 mph thunderstorm event, another $10,000. The pattern across two decades of Cowarts entries is trees rather than uplift, which is why we look at what is leaning over your slopes before we look at your shingles.
February 12, 2024 is worth knowing as well. Flash flooding washed the gravel out from under the train tracks, stranding a train that blocked North Broad Street, Jester Street and Glen Lawrence Road, with a foot of water running through yards and parking lots.
Water that fast is a gutter and fascia problem before it is a roof problem. We repair fascia as part of the roof, because a sagging gutter on a low Cowarts eave dumps straight into the soffit line. Fascia rot behind a gutter cannot be seen from the driveway and is plain from a ladder, which is why we photograph the edge first.
Town Hall sits on Jester Street. Cowarts is one of the eleven incorporated towns in Houston County, and a business privilege license for contractors comes through the county probate office on North Oates Street in Dothan under the contractors section of the state code. Ask to see it. That county license is not a formality either, because Alabama will not issue a state roofers license to anyone who has not held a local one for a year. leads@dothanpremiumroofing.com
About Cowarts, AL — and why local matters here
Cowarts sits in Houston County with a population of roughly 1,930, close enough to Dothan that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include Cowarts Creek, U.S. 84 toward Bainbridge.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Cowarts properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Houston County, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.

Roofing work we do in Cowarts, AL
Dothan Premium Roofing covers the same range of work in Cowarts that we do in Dothan — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Asphalt Shingle Roofs — Nearly every roof in the Wiregrass is asphalt, and nearly every quote in this market sells you the wrong half of it. The shingle is the part with a brand on it.
- Metal Roofing — Metal makes obvious sense in farm country and we install a lot of it. What we will not do is put the same product on your house that goes on your equipment shed, because the two buildings fail in completely different ways out here.
- Tile Roofing — We repair tile roofs in Dothan and we relay plenty of them every year. What we very rarely recommend is installing a brand new one, so treat everything below as an argument against buying tile rather than for it.
- Flat & Low-Slope Roofing — Low slope shows up in two very different places here: the back porch on a house, and the wide roof over a warehouse or a peanut buying point. Both fail at the perimeter, and in this market the perimeter is the part nobody prices properly.
- Roof Coatings & Sealing — Coatings have a genuine use and it is narrower than the advertising suggests. They extend the life of a sound low-slope membrane or an aging metal panel roof.
- Roof Ventilation — Ventilation in the Wiregrass has to solve a hot, humid attic without cutting a long hole straight along the highest-pressure line on the entire roof. Those two goals pull hard against each other here, in a way they simply do not in most markets.
