What we write about, and why

Every post here answers a question Jackson property owners actually ask before they hire anyone — what work costs, which materials are worth the upcharge, how long a job really takes, and the shortcuts that look fine for two years and then do not.

The writing comes from the same people doing the work in Jackson, MS and central Mississippi, which is why the numbers are specific and the advice sometimes tells you not to spend money.

  • Roof Replacement in JacksonReplacing a roof here is worth doing once. It is worth doing twice only if you enjoy paying twice, and that is what happens when new shingles go back onto a house that is still moving underneath them.
  • Roof Leak Repair in JacksonTell us which month the stain shows up and we can usually name the cause before we get on the ladder. Around here the calendar of a leak is better evidence than the map of it.
  • Storm Damage Restoration in JacksonAfter a line of storms rolls through, the most useful thing a roofer can do for a house here is separate what the weather did from what was already there. Two conditions, two mechanisms, two dates.
  • Hail Damage Roofing in JacksonHalf the hail calls we take around the capital are not hail. That is not an accusation aimed at anybody.
  • Wind Damage Roofing in JacksonWind does not choose a slope at random. It finds the joint that has already opened and starts there, which is why the same eight feet of ridge leaves a house three storms running.
