Most Tupelo homes (1,800–2,600 sq ft) invest $9,000–$17,000 for full architectural shingle replacement, including tear-off, underlayment, ventilation, and disposal. Basic 3-tab asphalt starts near $6,500 but offers minimal storm protection—risky in our hail-prone region. At Tekton, we provide free drone-based estimates that include decking inspection and material options (GAF Timberline HDZ, CertainTeed Landmark PRO). Many clients pay only their insurance deductible after storm damage claims. We never upsell—just honest pricing, upfront, with no hidden fees or subcontractor markups.

We prioritize emergency storm response for Tupelo residents. If your roof is leaking or compromised, we’ll inspect it within 24 hours and typically begin installation in 5–7 business days—much faster than national companies with 3+ week waits. Our local material inventory and dedicated storm crew prevent delays. We also provide free emergency tarping and handle all insurance paperwork, including Xactimate reports and adjuster meetings. During peak storm season (March–June), we reserve slots specifically for emergency repairs—so you’re never left exposed.

Yes—fully and legally. Tekton Exteriors holds active Mississippi roofing contractor license #ROC12345 and carries $2 million in liability insurance plus workers’ comp, as required by state law. Every technician is background-checked, OSHA-trained, and wears company ID. You’ll never see subcontractors on your property. We’re also GAF Master Elite® certified and BBB Accredited (A+ rating). Before work begins, we’ll email you certificates of insurance and license verification—because transparency builds trust in a community like Tupelo.

For Tupelo’s severe weather, architectural shingles are the clear choice. Standard 3-tab asphalt offers 15–20 years of life and minimal wind resistance—often voiding insurance after major storms. Architectural shingles (like GAF Timberline HDZ) feature dual-layer construction, 130-mph wind warranties, and Class 4 impact ratings—critical for hail common in Lee County. They also resist algae growth and add curb appeal that lasts. While they cost 20–30% more upfront, they reduce long-term repair costs, lower insurance premiums, and boost resale value. At Tekton, we install only architectural-grade shingles unless budget constraints are extreme—because your roof deserves better than “good enough.”
