Roofing on the Mississippi Gulf Coast

Local to Gulf Coast, not just listed here.

The Coast is the hardest place in Mississippi to keep a roof on, and the easiest place to get sold a bad one. Between hurricane season, salt air that eats fasteners and flashing, and the storm-chasers who show up the week after a named storm, Gulf Coast homeowners have earned their skepticism. We install for the conditions here and we put the details in writing before you sign anything.

Coastal roofs fail at the edges first. Wind gets under a poorly nailed starter course or a loose drip edge and peels from there, and salt air corrodes exposed fasteners years faster than it does inland. That is why we spec the perimeter, the fastener pattern and the flashing metal as carefully as the shingle itself. It is also why wind mitigation details matter here in a way they simply do not up north.
