At Tekton Exteriors MS, we’ve developed a comprehensive approach to delivering home exterior solutions in Jackson, MS that actually hold up to local conditions. We’re not about quick patches or temporary fixes—we’re about doing the work right so your exterior lasts for decades, not just a few years.

Step 1: Thorough Property Inspection

Every single project starts with a real inspection, not a quick glance from the street. We bring professional equipment, take our time, and examine every component of your exterior system. We’re finding problems you probably don’t even know exist yet, which saves you money by catching them before they turn into expensive emergencies.

We start with your roof because it’s your home’s primary defense against Jackson weather. We check every section for damaged, missing, or aging shingles. We examine all flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys—these are the most common leak points. We verify your underlayment is still intact and make sure your attic ventilation is functioning properly. Poor ventilation is a huge problem in Jackson’s heat and humidity, shortening roof life by years.

Your siding gets examined panel by panel. We look for cracks, warping, loose sections, fading that indicates UV damage, and any evidence that water might be getting behind it. We check all the joints and seams because that’s where separation typically starts. We test for soft spots that suggest hidden water damage that isn’t visible from outside.

Gutters and downspouts get careful attention because they’re critical for protecting your foundation from Jackson’s heavy rains. We verify they’re properly attached, sloped correctly to drain, and actually moving water away from your house. We also check that downspouts are directing water far enough from your foundation—a common problem that causes expensive issues down the road.

Trim, fascia, and soffit all get inspected for wood rot, paint failure, and pest damage. These areas fail quickly in Jackson’s humid climate and often show the first visible signs of moisture problems. We look for soft spots, check where different materials meet, and identify areas where water might be infiltrating.

We also evaluate your foundation perimeter and yard grading because improper drainage causes more problems than most homeowners realize. Water pooling near your foundation during Jackson’s frequent heavy rains will eventually work its way inside, and fixing that kind of damage costs substantially more than preventing it.

Step 2: Honest Recommendations and Material Selection

After we know exactly what’s going on with your home, we sit down and have a real conversation about your options. No confusing technical jargon, no pressure to do work you don’t need, just straightforward information about what your home requires and when.

We prioritize everything we found. Some issues need immediate attention to prevent further damage. Others can wait a bit if budget is a concern, but we’ll be honest about what risks you’re taking by delaying. We’ll never push you to do everything at once if it doesn’t make sense for your situation.

Material selection is crucial for Jackson homes. Not all exterior products perform the same in our climate. We recommend materials specifically engineered to handle Mississippi heat, humidity, and storms. Sometimes that means investing more upfront in products rated to last 30+ years instead of cheaper options that’ll need replacing in 10-15. We explain the cost-benefit analysis so you can make informed decisions.

You’ll get a detailed written estimate breaking down everything—materials, labor, timeline, warranties, and any potential issues we foresee. No hidden fees, no surprise charges halfway through, just transparent pricing so you understand exactly what you’re investing in. It’s the same honest approach that’s earned us trust in communities throughout the region, including our work in Grenada where homeowners appreciate straightforward communication.

Step 3: Professional Installation by Experienced Crews

When we start work, our licensed and insured team shows up ready to deliver quality results. We protect your property with appropriate coverings and barriers, maintain a clean and organized work site, and keep you informed about progress every day.

Every installation follows manufacturer specifications exactly. We’re not cutting corners or using “good enough” methods when there’s a correct way specified. Proper fastener spacing, adequate expansion gaps for Jackson’s temperature swings, correct flashing installation, proper ventilation—all these details matter because they determine whether your exterior lasts 15 years or 40 years.

We exclusively use premium materials rated for Mississippi conditions. Cheap products might save money today, but when they’re failing years before they should, you’ll regret not investing in quality from the start. This applies to everything from siding to roofing to trim materials.

Whether we’re working on a historic home in Belhaven, a property in Fondren, or a newer house in Madison County, every job gets identical attention to quality and detail. The reputation we’ve built in places like Elliott and Gore Springs was established by consistently exceeding expectations on every single project.
