Blalock Building Company Contracted to
Repair Pinson High School Roof
North
Jefferson News, Gardendale, AL - October 12, 2011
By Ben Montgomery, CNHI News Service
PINSON — The Jefferson County
Board of Education accepted a bid yesterday for Phase I repairs for
Pinson Valley High School's auditorium roof; Phase I is the demolition
phase. Blalock Building Company, Inc., located in Trussville, is
contracted to get the demolition job done in 30 days at a cost of
$62,579. Board members said planning for Phase II was dependent on some
elements of the first phase.
A 30-by-40-foot hole ripped in the school’s auditorium ceiling after
a deluge from heavy rains caused by Tropical Storm Lee burst through the
roof. The early September storms also caused numerous downed trees, road
closures and power outages in Fultondale, Gardendale, Warrior and
Morris. The National Weather Service reported 8.94 inches of rain in
Pinson during the storm.
Despite the devastated auditorium, school performances, such as
upcoming Oct. 22 and 23 performances of the play “Children of a Lesser
God,” will go on. Pinson Valley drama teacher Ryan Tittle said the
students are rehearsing in Pinson Valley classrooms for the time being
and will perform the play at Clay-Chalkville High School.
Tittle said the force of the water falling through the ceiling was so
great that it ripped seats from their bolts and scattered them around
the auditorium.
The board of education is estimating about four-and-a-half months to
complete repairs. |

On Friday, March 26, 2010, the Shelby County Board of
Education approved Blalock Building Company to take over the
$3.9 million dollar school additions for Thompson High
School. Also, on March 31, 2010, the Birmingham Board of

As quoted by Steven Blalock, President of Blalock Building
Company, Inc., “while we are grateful for the work, the
real story is we have lost one of Alabama’s premier
contractors: McCrory Building Company.” McCrory was a
multi-million dollar company and the jobs lost in the State
and locally are another blow to the construction industry.
We have retained some of McCrory’s employees to complete
these projects and more, should the economy allow.
