What Makes Our Approach Different
Tekton Exteriors is a licensed and insured exterior contractor that also handles roofing, siding and gutters. That matters when a porch roof ties into your house or a new structure affects drainage: one team handles it all. We use materials suited to Mississippi heat and humidity and build covered structures with secure connections for storm winds.
Planning Around Sun, Wind and Wildlife
Open country brings strong afternoon sun, wind that sweeps across fields and plenty of insects. We orient porches and patios to catch views while avoiding the harshest western sun, choose screens where bugs are a concern and anchor covers securely for wind exposure. Lighting is placed to help you see at night without drawing every insect to the seating area. Gravel or paver paths keep mud off the porch after heavy rain, and gutters on new roofs keep runoff away from the foundation.
Timing and Getting Started
Simple patios or decks typically take about 1 to 2 weeks to build, while larger porches and pavilions take longer. Start with a free on-site visit. Learn about our other services on our Pocahontas exterior services page or across the county on our Hinds County page.
Common Questions
What makes your outdoor living work different?
We are a licensed and insured exterior contractor who can handle the roofing, gutters and siding that connect to a new porch or patio. That avoids gaps between trades.
How long does an outdoor living project take?
Simple patios or decks often take 1 to 2 weeks once construction starts. Covered porches, pavilions and kitchens take longer.
How much does an outdoor living space cost?
It depends on size, materials and features. We give you a free, itemized estimate after visiting your property.
Do you offer warranties?
Yes. Workmanship and manufacturer warranties are explained in writing with your proposal.
Can you screen in a porch on a country home?
Yes. Screened porches are a popular choice in rural areas. We frame the openings and add a screen door and system that suits how you use the space.
