A Few Missing Shingles: Repair or Something More?
Losing a few shingles in a windstorm does not automatically mean a new roof. If the surrounding shingles are still flexible and sealed, a storm shingle repair is often all you need. If nearby shingles crack when lifted or have lost their seal, more will likely follow in the next storm. We check both before recommending anything.
Planning a Replacement Around the Weather
Roofs can be replaced most of the year in Mississippi, but some windows are easier than others. Spring and fall typically offer moderate temperatures, while midsummer heat makes shingles softer and easier to scuff, and rainy spells cause delays. If your roof is aging but not leaking, scheduling in a milder season gives you more flexibility. A leaking roof should not wait for ideal weather.
Shops, Barns and Carports
Outbuildings are often roofed in exposed-fastener metal, which needs its screws and washers checked as they age. We repair or replace metal panels and can roof shops and carports to match the house. Our guide to metal versus shingle roofing can help you decide what fits each building.

Along with Algoma, we work in Pontotoc, Ecru, Thaxton, Toccopola and Sherman. See our Pontotoc County exterior services or the Pontotoc roofing page for more.
Common Questions
What affects the cost of a roof replacement in Algoma?
Roof size, pitch, the number of layers to remove, decking condition and the material you choose all play a part. We give you a written estimate after a free inspection so you can see each factor.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most homes are finished in one to three days, weather permitting. Outbuildings can often be done in the same visit or shortly after.
What is the best time of year to replace a roof here?
Spring and fall usually offer the most comfortable working conditions. That said, an active leak should be repaired right away regardless of season.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage to my roof?
Many policies cover sudden damage from wind or hail, but not wear from age. We help document storm damage, and your insurer decides what is covered.
Should I re-screw my old metal shop roof or replace it?
If the panels are solid and only the screws and washers have worn, replacing fasteners can extend the roof's life considerably. Rusted-through panels or widespread leaks usually mean new metal is the better investment.
