Hail in Shelby County

NOAA storm records for Shelby County list 13 hail reports (the largest 1.75 inches across), 37 thunderstorm wind reports and 9 tornadoes from 2020 through 2024. Hail that size can break window glass and dent aluminum frames.

Long humid summers are hard on sealants and door hardware. Closer to the coast, salt air also corrodes closer arms, rollers and thresholds faster.

Homes and buildings in Calera

Most of Calera is fairly new: only about 11% of homes were built before 1980, and the typical home dates from 2007. With newer double-pane windows, the usual problems are a failed seal, cracked glass or a sliding door that has worn through its rollers. More homes here went up in the 2000s than in any other period. That makes its housing newer than about 100% of Alabama towns its size.

About 88% of homes are single-family houses, so patio doors and home windows make up much of the work. About 80% of homes here are lived in by their owners, and we work with homeowners and shop owners alike.
