About Mike Goodson Roofing LLC
Rex Goodson runs Mike Goodson Roofing out of Webb, in Houston County, the same county where his grandfather started the business in 1952. Seventy-four years is the number worth sitting with. Three generations, same family name on the door, same Wiregrass market. That kind of continuity is genuinely unusual in any trade, and it's nearly unheard of in residential roofing, where the average company either gets absorbed or folds long before it reaches a third generation.
The business covers residential and commercial work across southeast Alabama and into southwest Georgia. Rex is the one running the shop today, and the company's contractor licensing is current through 2026. The BBB profile has been in good standing for several years. Those aren't flashy credentials, but in a market that gets worked by out-of-town storm crews every few seasons, a clean long-term record under a family name that's been here since the Eisenhower administration carries real weight.
What the 74-year run actually means for a homeowner is straightforward: if something goes wrong with the roof two years after the install, Rex Goodson is still in Webb, still reachable at the same number, still answerable. The company isn't going to dissolve into a national franchise or disappear after a storm season. Legitimate operators with roots this deep are a short list in the Wiregrass.
When you call, ask for Rex and mention you found them through The Roofing Ledger.
