About Great American Roofing
Nick Extine started Great American Roofing in Dothan with a clear enough plan that the company had its BBB accreditation in place within its first year of operation. That's worth noting in a market where plenty of operators skip it entirely. It doesn't make Extine a veteran, but it says something about how the business is being built.
The service mix is broader than you'd expect from a newer shop. Great American handles asphalt shingles for standard residential work, metal roofing for homeowners who want something that'll outlast them, and flat-roof systems like TPO and EPDM for garages, porch additions, and commercial-adjacent jobs. Houston County's older housing stock tends to throw mixed-scope work at contractors, and it helps to have a crew that isn't limited to one system type.
The Alabama home-builders license is current and verifiable through the state's own licensing board, and the BBB profile is clean. There's no standalone website yet; the company runs through its Facebook page, which is a reasonable way to reach them if you'd rather message than call. For a newer operator, the record is in better shape than most.
The thing to keep in mind with Great American is that Extine is still building the track record. There isn't a decade of reviews to scroll through. What's there is a clean license file, active BBB accountability, and an owner who's clearly approaching this as a long-term business rather than a short season. That's not nothing in a market that sees its share of contractors who show up after a storm and move on.
If you're vetting Great American, call Extine directly at (334) 350-3235 or reach out through their Facebook page and ask him plainly about his crew's experience with your specific roof type. A contractor who answers that question without hesitation is usually one worth keeping on the list.
