In Ridgeland, a full roof replacement typically ranges from $9,200 to $25,000+, depending on square footage, roof complexity (dormers, valleys), material grade, and whether decking repair is needed. Asphalt shingle replacements average $6.90–$10.50 per square foot, while impact-resistant or metal roofs cost more upfront but often yield long-term savings through insurance discounts and extended lifespans. Crucially, if damage results from a covered peril—like the March 2025 hailstorm or a documented wind event—your homeowners insurance should cover most or all costs minus your deductible ($1,000–$2,500 standard in MS). At Tekton, we maximize your claim: Our Haag-certified inspectors document all storm-related damage—not just visible shingle loss—including decking rot, flashing failure, and ventilation deficiencies insurers often miss. Over 90% of our insured Ridgeland clients pay only their deductible, thanks to our meticulous scope preparation and adjuster advocacy.

Most roof repairs in Ridgeland, MS—such as leak sealing, flashing fixes, or partial shingle replacement—are completed in 1–4 hours, often the same day you call. Full roof replacements for standard homes (2,000–3,200 sq. ft.) average 1–2 days, thanks to our streamlined process and local material staging. Yes—even in July’s 96°F+ heat. We schedule early-morning starts to avoid peak temperatures, use Owens Corning’s WeatherLock® Flex underlayment (formulated for high-heat adhesion), and monitor real-time radar to pause and tarp if rain threatens. For storm emergencies, 95% of our emergency tarps are deployed within 4 hours of your call. Our Weather-Proof Promise ensures no job begins unless we’re 90%+ confident it can be completed dry and safely—because rushing in Mississippi’s climate risks shingle seal failure and worker safety.

It depends on your priorities. Asphalt shingles (e.g., GAF Timberline® HDZ) remain the most popular—affordable, classic Southern look, 25–30 year lifespan. Impact-resistant shingles (Class 4 rated) cost 20–30% more but withstand 2″ hail, qualify for insurance discounts up to 35%, and resist wind uplift better—ideal for high-risk areas near the Reservoir. Metal roofing (standing seam) has the highest upfront cost ($10–$15/sq. ft.) but lasts 50+ years, reflects heat (reducing AC bills), and resists fire/wind—perfect for historic homes or sustainability-focused owners. At Tekton, we help match material to your goals—not ours. Ask about our Material Selector Tool, which models 20-year cost of ownership (including energy savings, insurance discounts, and maintenance) for your exact home. Because in Ridgeland, the best roof isn’t the cheapest—it’s the one that lasts longest, performs best, and gives you peace of mind.

While many assume summer is ideal, late fall through early spring (October–April) offers distinct advantages: lower humidity improves shingle sealing, cooler temperatures extend work windows, and contractors have greater scheduling flexibility outside peak storm season. That said, Tekton installs roofs year-round using climate-adaptive techniques: heat-reflective tarps, early starts, and specialized underlayments designed for 100°F+ conditions. The real deciding factor isn’t the calendar—it’s damage urgency. If you have active leaks or confirmed storm damage, delaying risks interior harm, mold growth, and insurance claim expiration. Fortunately, our rapid-response team operates 365 days a year, and insurance claims don’t expire seasonally. So act when your roof demands it—not when the weather “might” cooperate.
