About Phelps
Phelps is a small unincorporated community in the Piney Woods east of Huntsville, inside the 77340 ZIP code. Mail goes to a Huntsville address. The area follows US 190 and roads such as FM 2929 and Old Phelps Road, with homes on large tracts, many with shops, barns and outbuildings.
Rural properties often have more than one roof to care for, and many of them are metal.
Storms in East Walker County
Storms here are no lighter than in town. On April 18, 2020, the National Weather Service logged a report of golf-ball-size hail falling for over a minute near FM 2929 and US 190, plus a report of 3.5-inch hail a few miles west of Phelps. Hail like that dents metal and bruises shingles.
- Hail dents on metal roofs, vents and trim
- Backed-out screws and dried washers on screw-down metal
- Wind lifting panels on open acreage
- Shingle damage on homes from hail and limbs

Metal Roofs on Homes, Shops and Barns
Exposed-fastener metal is common on rural homes and outbuildings. Most leaks come from fasteners and laps, and they can usually be repaired without new panels. When you call, tell us how many buildings need work and what kind of roofing each has. See metal roof repair and hail damage roof repair.
Outside City Limits
Phelps is outside Huntsville city limits, so City of Huntsville re-roof permits generally don't apply, though other rules or deed restrictions might. Your contractor should know what applies to your property. One call connects you with a roofer who serves east Walker County, through our roof repair service for the Huntsville area.
