Gulf Shores is home. We cover the coast and the towns just inland of it — close enough to respond fast when weather comes through.
Exposure changes enormously across south Baldwin. A roof on the Fort Morgan peninsula and a roof in Magnolia Springs are fighting completely different things.
The most exposed roofs in the county — and mostly condo and rental.
Orange Beach roofing →Gulf on one side, Mobile Bay on the other. Nothing breaks the wind.
Fort Morgan roofing →Historic homes under live oaks. Limb impact is the main threat.
Magnolia Springs roofing →Wherever you are in Baldwin County, the roofing requirement is the same: materials rated for 130 mph or greater, asphalt shingles meeting ASTM D7158 Class H or ASTM D3161 Class F, high-wind installation with a minimum of six nails per shingle, and synthetic underlayment — asphalt felt is not permitted on new installations anywhere in the county.
What changes across the county is exposure. Salt-air corrosion is severe on the island and the peninsula, moderate on the bays, and much milder in Foley and Elberta. Wind exposure is extreme anywhere with clear fetch to open water. And inland, under heavy tree cover, limb impact replaces uplift as the main storm threat.
That is why each area page says something different. The code is the same everywhere; the roof that makes sense is not.
