"Serving Bayou La Batre out of Mobile — Silver Construction brings 25 years of hands-on Gulf Coast experience, FORTIFIED™-standard roofing, and honest owner-operated service to every job in Mobile County."
The Seafood Capital of Alabama, Bayou La Batre has worked the water for generations — a shrimping and oystering fleet, the annual Blessing of the Fleet, and a working waterfront that took the full force of Katrina. There is very little between this town and open water in the Mississippi Sound, which means roofs here live one of the hardest lives on the Alabama coast.
In Bayou La Batre you are dealing directly with Terry James, who owns Silver Construction and has spent 25 years working roofs and concrete along the Alabama Gulf Coast. He is from Mobile, he lives here, and he will be here in five years — which is a different proposition from the trucks that follow a hurricane into town and are gone by spring.
Bayou La Batre homeowners deal with the full range of Gulf Coast weather, and a roof here rarely fails where people expect it to — it starts at an edge, or in decking that was never properly fastened. With direct Gulf and Sound exposure — the highest wind category we work in, those details are worth getting right the first time. We build roofs to the FORTIFIED™ standard, pour concrete driveways on a base that will hold, and document insurance and storm damage from the first photograph. Call 251-622-3415 for a free estimate.

The questions we hear most from Bayou La Batre homeowners.
Yes. Bayou La Batre is inside our service area and we work Mobile County regularly. We deliberately limit ourselves to Mobile and Baldwin Counties so we can reach every town in them without a long wait.
Bayou La Batre has direct Gulf and Sound exposure — the highest wind category we work in. That generally makes the fortified details worth serious consideration, but the honest answer depends on your carrier. Ask your agent what a designated fortified roof would do to your wind premium, then we can talk about whether the numbers work.
Yes, and it is a real part of the business rather than a sideline. New driveways, replacement, repair, widening, slabs, patios, sidewalks, culverts and aprons throughout Bayou La Batre. If you need both a roof and a driveway, doing them together saves you a mobilization.
Faster than a company driving in from out of state, which is most of the point of staying local. Call as soon as you have damage — getting a roof dried in quickly protects both the house and your insurance claim.
We document the damage thoroughly before anything is touched and provide a detailed scope your adjuster can work from. The claim itself stays between you and your carrier — a contractor is not a licensed public adjuster, and you should be cautious of anyone who says otherwise.
Yes, and there is no pressure attached. If a repair is the right answer instead of a replacement, Terry James will tell you that.
