Roofs: Age Comes First
Most asphalt shingle roofs in Mississippi last somewhere around 20 to 25 years, depending on the shingle, the installation and how well the attic is ventilated. If yours is approaching that age, money spent on repeated repairs often makes less sense than a roof replacement. A younger roof with a few missing shingles or a leaking pipe boot, on the other hand, is usually an easy fix. Our article on choosing between roof repair and replacement goes deeper.
- Repair: isolated wind damage, failed flashing, small leaks on a sound roof
- Replace: widespread granule loss, curling or brittle shingles, soft decking, repeated leaks
Siding: Look Behind the Panel
Cracked or loose siding can often be replaced piece by piece if the wall behind it is dry. When we find rotten sheathing, failing house wrap or siding that has been discontinued and cannot be matched, a full re-side is usually the better investment. Fiber cement is a strong choice for owners who want something that keeps its looks for decades with occasional cleaning and a repaint every 10 to 15 years.
Windows and Doors: Comfort and Operation
Fogged glass, sashes that will not stay up, drafts and condensation between panes are signs a window's seal or frame is failing. Replacement windows with low-E glass help keep summer heat out and make rooms more comfortable. For entry and patio doors, warped slabs and rotted thresholds usually mean replacement. See our dedicated page for windows and doors in Hunters Creek.
Gutters: The Cheapest Insurance
Gutters are the least expensive part of the exterior and protect all the rest. Sagging runs, leaking seams and downspouts that dump next to the foundation are worth fixing quickly. We install seamless aluminum gutters sized for the roof area and add guards where trees overhang.
How Our Free Inspection Works
We look at the whole exterior, take photos, and give you a written estimate that separates urgent repairs from optional upgrades. If storm damage is involved, we document it to support your insurance claim.
Common Questions
Is it worth repairing a 20-year-old roof?
Sometimes, if the damage is small and the shingles are still flexible. If the roof is near the end of its expected life, a repair may only buy a short time, and we will say so.
Can you match my existing siding for a repair?
We try. Many profiles and colors are still available, but older or faded siding can be hard to match exactly. If a perfect match is not possible, we can suggest using the matched pieces on the most visible walls.
Do you help with insurance claims after storms?
Yes. We document damage with photos and measurements and can meet the adjuster so nothing is missed.
