About Big Al's Roofing

Alvaro Hernandez, known to customers and friends as Big Al, learned the trade at Earl W. Johnston Roofing, one of the most respected roofing companies in the industry. Working there, he saw what it takes to do roofing right: proper tear-offs, careful flashing, clean jobs and standing behind the work. In 2015 he started Big Al's Roofing, LLC with a simple goal: do the job the way he'd want it done on his own house, and be straight with people about what their roof actually needs.

Since then the company has completed hundreds of roofs from Miami to Port St. Lucie, 597 of which we've mapped so far. We're still owner-run. When you call, you're dealing with the people who will be on your roof.
