Life in Independence, MS, is about enjoying the quiet, rural charm of Tate County. It’s about Friday night football games, friendly neighbors, and having a little room to breathe.
But let’s be honest about the weather. It doesn’t always respect our peace and quiet.
We deal with it all here: the heavy humidity that clings to your siding in July, the sudden thunderstorms that rattle your windows in April, and the intense UV rays that bake your roof year-round. Over time, these elements take a toll. Your home starts to look tired. More importantly, it starts to lose its ability to protect you.
Is your home ready for the next season? Or are you noticing the warning signs of wear and tear?
At Tekton Exteriors, we specialize in comprehensive home exterior solutions in Independence, MS. We don’t just swap out shingles or nail up new siding. We engineer exterior systems that stand up to the Mississippi climate, lower your energy bills, and make your home the best-looking property on the road.
Don’t wait for a leak to ruin your day. Call Now to schedule your free, no-obligation consultation.
Many homeowners in Independence view their house as a collection of separate parts: a roof, some windows, and some siding. However, building science tells us that your home’s exterior is actually a unified “envelope.”
This envelope has one job: to control the environment inside your home. It needs to repel bulk water (rain), manage moisture vapor (humidity), and resist heat transfer (insulation).
When one part of this system fails—say, a piece of flashing on your roof rusts through or your siding cracks—the integrity of the entire system is compromised.
Why Professional Solutions Matter
Trying to patch these issues with DIY fixes often acts like a bandage on a broken bone. Here is why investing in professional exterior solutions is critical:
Energy Efficiency: Old, single-pane windows and uninsulated vinyl siding are like leaving a window open in summer. Upgrading tightens your envelope and keeps your AC inside.
Structural Integrity: Water is the enemy of your wood framing. A watertight exterior prevents rot, mold, and expensive structural repairs down the road.
Curb Appeal: Whether you plan to stay in Independence forever or sell down the line, a crisp, modern exterior increases property value instantly.
Peace of Mind: There is a specific comfort in hearing a storm rage outside and knowing, without a doubt, that your family is dry and safe.
We offer a full suite of exterior services. We know the local building codes, and we know what materials last longest in Tate County soil and weather.
1. Roofing Replacement and Repair
Your roof takes the hardest beating. We install high-performance roofing systems designed for wind resistance and durability.
Architectural Shingles: These provide depth, beauty, and superior protection compared to old 3-tab shingles.
Metal Roofing: A popular choice in rural areas for its longevity and sleek look.
Leak Detection: We find the source of the water, not just the symptom.
For homeowners in our broader service area, we also offer roofing and roof replacement in Senatobia, Mississippi, ensuring consistent quality across the county.
2. Siding Installation
Siding is your home’s armor. If yours is faded, chalky, or cracked, it’s time for an upgrade.
Fiber Cement (James Hardie): This is the gold standard. It resists fire, rot, woodpeckers, and termites—perfect for our wooded areas.
Vinyl Siding: Modern vinyl is thick, insulated, and fade-resistant. It’s a cost-effective way to completely transform your home.
Learn more about your options on our siding and exterior remodeling page.
3. Energy-Efficient Windows
If you still have original aluminum or wood windows, you are paying too much for electricity. We install double-pane windows with Low-E glass and argon gas fills.
These features act as a barrier, reflecting heat away from your home in the summer and keeping warmth in during the winter.
4. Outdoor Living Spaces
We believe your home doesn’t end at the back door. We design and build:
Custom Decks: Composite or treated lumber.
Screened Porches: Enjoy the evening breeze without the mosquitoes.
Patios & Hardscapes: Create the perfect spot for a grill or fire pit.
Check out our decks and outdoor living solutions to see what’s possible for your backyard.
5. Gutters and Water Management
In Independence, we have plenty of trees. That means plenty of leaves and pine needles. We install seamless gutters with advanced guard systems to keep water flowing away from your foundation, not overflowing onto your flowerbeds.

How do you know it’s time to make the call? Walk around your house and look for these red flags:
Granules in the Downspouts: This looks like black sand. It means your shingles are losing their protective coating and are near the end of their life.
Soft or Warped Siding: Poke your wood siding with a screwdriver. If it gives, you have rot.
Condensation Between Window Panes: This means the seal has failed, and the window is no longer insulating your home.
Peeling Paint: If you have to repaint your exterior every 3-4 years, moisture is likely trapped behind the wood.
High Humidity Indoors: If your home feels sticky and clammy even when the AC is running, your exterior envelope is leaking air.
Let us tell you about a project that reminds us why we do this work. (Names have been changed for privacy).
The Baker family lived in a ranch-style home off Cockrum Road. They had been in the house since the early 90s. They loved the location, but the house was becoming a burden. The original Masonite siding was swelling at the bottom edges, and the windows were drafty enough to rattle when big trucks drove by.
The Problem: Mr. Baker was worried about the structural wood underneath the swelling siding. Mrs. Baker was tired of the “dingy” look of the beige paint that never seemed to look clean. They wanted to renovate, but they were terrified of the disruption. They didn’t want a construction crew lingering in their driveway for months.
The Tekton Solution: They called us for a consultation. We did a full inspection and found that, thankfully, the structural damage was minimal—but it wouldn’t stay that way for long.
We proposed a complete exterior overhaul:
Siding: Removal of the old Masonite and installation of James Hardie Board and Batten siding in “Iron Gray” for a modern farmhouse look.
Windows: Replacement of all 12 windows with energy-efficient vinyl units.
Trim: Fresh white trim to make the gray pop.
The Process: We started on a Monday. We stripped the siding, wrapped the house in a new moisture barrier (Tyvek), and flashed the windows properly. By Friday afternoon, the siding was up. The following week, the windows were installed and trimmed out.
The Result: The transformation was jaw-dropping. Neighbors actually stopped to ask if they had done a major addition because the house looked so different.
But the real win came a month later. Mr. Baker called us to say, “Our thermostat is set to 72, and the AC actually cycles off during the day now. And it’s so quiet inside we didn’t even hear the storm last night.”
We can bring that same transformation to your doorstep.
You have options when searching for “home exterior solutions in Independence, MS.” Here is why your neighbors trust Tekton.

We aren’t a storm-chasing company from out of state. We are local. We understand the specific soil conditions in Tate County (crucial for deck footings) and the wind loads our roofs need to handle. We are here today, and we will be here tomorrow to stand behind our work.
2. Verified Trustworthiness
Licensed & Insured: We carry full General Liability and Workers’ Compensation. You are never at risk on your own property.

4. Storm Damage Assistance
If your home has been damaged by weather, we can help. We understand the insurance process and can ensure your claim is handled fairly. For more on this, check out our storm damage repair and insurance claims page.
Procrastination is the most expensive part of home ownership. What starts as a small issue often spirals into a major disaster if ignored.
The “Small” Leak: A drip in your attic can soak your insulation and rot your rafters for months before you see a stain on your ceiling. By then, the repair cost has tripled.
Rotting Siding: Soft siding invites termites and carpenter ants to feast on your home’s frame.
Clogged Gutters: Water overflowing from gutters can erode the soil around your foundation, leading to settling and cracks in your slab.
Investing in your exterior now is cheaper than repairing structural damage later.
It varies based on the size of your home and the materials you choose (e.g., vinyl vs. fiber cement). We offer free, itemized estimates so you can make an informed decision without any pressure.
Most residential roofs in our area can be completed in 1 to 2 days, weather permitting. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your routine.
While we work year-round, late winter to early spring (February–April) is ideal for most exterior projects in Brandon: temperatures are mild (50s–70s), humidity is lower (reducing mold/moisture risks), and roofing/siding materials install optimally. Fall (September–November) is also excellent — just avoid peak leaf season for gutter/deck projects. Summer (May–August) works for roofing (shingles seal better in heat) but is less ideal for siding (extreme expansion) or painting. Winter (December–January) can be done if dry — but cold slows curing. That said, storm damage repairs should never wait — we mobilize 24/7 for emergencies. For non-urgent projects, we recommend booking in January for spring slots — Brandon’s top contractors fill fast!
Absolutely. Unlike exterior painting, which requires warm temperatures, siding and windows can be installed year-round in Mississippi.
We pride ourselves on our cleanup. We use magnetic rollers to pick up nails and ensure your yard is safe for your pets and tires.
