Roofing help in Mississippi

Mississippi roofs face hurricanes on the Gulf Coast, where Katrina's 2005 damage reshaped building practices, plus tornadoes and severe storms inland and long, humid summers. Jackson, Gulfport, Biloxi and the coastal counties account for much of the state's roofing demand.

What roofs face in Mississippi

  • Hurricanes & tropical storms
  • High wind & severe storms
  • Heat & intense sun
  • Heavy rain & moss

Gulf Coast hurricanes

Harrison, Hancock and Jackson counties face hurricane wind and surge. High-wind installation, sealed decks and strong edge details are worthwhile.

Inland tornadoes

Central and northern Mississippi see tornadoes and severe storms that strip shingles and drop trees.

Heat, humidity and algae

Hot, humid conditions age shingles and grow algae. Ventilation and algae-resistant shingles help.

Housing in Jackson and the coast

Jackson and its suburbs in Madison and Rankin counties have many brick ranches and newer two-story homes, while Gulfport, Biloxi and Ocean Springs rebuilt large numbers of homes after Katrina. Roofs from that rebuild are now reaching replacement age.
