In Algoma, a standard asphalt shingle roof replacement for a 1,800–2,200 sq. ft. home typically ranges from $12,500 to $19,500, depending on pitch complexity, decking condition, and material grade. GAF Timberline HDZ (our most popular choice for Algoma’s storm exposure) adds value through its 130-mph wind warranty and algae resistance — worth the slight premium over basic 3-tab. Crucially, if storm damage is involved, your out-of-pocket may be just your deductible ($1,000–$2,500) after insurance covers the rest — but only if documentation is precise and code upgrades are justified. At Tekton Exteriors, Mississippi, we provide a no-surprise quote with itemized costs and help maximize your claim recovery.

Most Algoma roof replacements are completed in 1–3 days, weather permitting — and our scheduling prioritizes Mississippi’s optimal windows: late August through October (moderate temps, low rain risk) and March through May (before summer humidity peaks). We avoid installing during sustained 90°F+ heat or >70% humidity, as extreme conditions can affect adhesive activation on shingles. For emergency repairs (e.g., tarping after wind damage), we respond within 24 hours; full replacements follow within 7–10 days of approval. Our streamlined process — including pre-staging materials at our Oxford warehouse and using two-man crews trained in efficient teardown — minimizes disruption to your daily life.

Not necessarily — but prompt, professional assessment is critical. Isolated shingle loss can often be repaired if the underlying deck, felt, and neighboring shingles are intact. However, in Mississippi’s humid climate, even small breaches can lead to hidden decking rot or mold within weeks. More importantly, insurance companies increasingly deny future claims if “ongoing deterioration” is found — meaning deferred repairs today could void coverage later. At Tekton Exteriors, Mississippi, our drone-assisted inspections detect hidden damage invisible from the ground, and we’ll honestly advise whether repair or replacement is in your best interest. If repair is viable, we use matching shingles and proper nailing patterns to avoid weak spots. Don’t gamble with patchwork fixes — get a certified Algoma evaluation today.

Late summer through mid-fall (August to October) is ideal in Algoma — temperatures are stable (70–85°F), humidity is lower than summer peaks, and rain frequency decreases after July’s thunderstorm surge. This allows optimal asphalt shingle adhesion and reduces moisture-trapping risks during installation. Spring (March–May) is a strong second choice, though scheduling fills quickly post-winter. We avoid winter installations unless emergency-driven, as near-freezing temps hinder sealant activation. Crucially, if storm damage occurs off-season, we recommend immediate tarping followed by replacement in the optimal window — never delay protection. As Algoma’s local experts, we’ll help you time your project for maximum durability and minimal disruption. Ask us about our current fall scheduling availability.

Yes — but only if damage is sudden, accidental, and weather-related (e.g., hail, wind, tornado), and your roof was well-maintained pre-event. Mississippi insurers frequently deny claims citing “wear and tear” if granule loss, curling, or moss growth suggests deferred upkeep. That’s why documentation is key: adjusters require before/after photos, dated maintenance records, and engineering-grade damage reports. At Tekton Exteriors, Mississippi, our HAAG-trained specialists prepare comprehensive claim packages — including drone imagery and moisture readings — that have secured approvals for 94% of Algoma clients since 2023. We also help negotiate for code-required upgrades (e.g., ice/water shield, ventilation) that insurers often overlook. Don’t navigate claims alone — let our Algoma team advocate for you.
