Jackson Roof Pros provides professional flat & low-slope roofing in Jackson, MS for residential and commercial properties across central Mississippi. On a low-slope roof in this belt, ponding that was not there five years ago is not a roofing defect. It is a level reading, and it is telling you the deck beneath it has changed shape.
Fall on a low-slope deck is a quarter inch per foot if you are fortunate. It does not take much differential movement in the structure underneath to convert a drain into a high point. Water then stands, the membrane bakes under it through July, the seams in that one area age at several times the rate of the field, and the leak arrives exactly where the puddle is.
The reflex fix is tapered polyisocyanurate to rebuild the fall. That is the correct fix, but only once you know the deck has stopped moving. Building precise geometry onto a surface that is still changing buys you a brand new low spot somewhere else in three years and a second tapered package to pay for. We have rebuilt fall twice on one building for an owner who did it in the wrong order.
So on a building that is still active we add drainage capacity instead. More roof drains, additional scuppers through the parapet, larger leaders, overflow provision where the code calls for it. Capacity forgives error in a way that geometry never does, and it buys you the time to learn what the structure is actually doing. It is also usually cheaper than a full tapered package by a wide margin.
On houses, most low-slope work is a porch, a dormer, or a room addition tied into the main steep roof. That transition is where residential low-slope roofs fail here, close to without exception. We carry the membrane well up the steep slope past the transition and terminate it underneath the shingle courses, never at the joint itself. Where a wall meets the deck, the membrane turns up behind the cladding and gets a real termination.
Materials we install are sixty and eighty mil TPO, EPDM, and two-ply SBS modified bitumen finished with a granulated cap. On a small residential deck the modified bitumen is very often the better value, and we will say so out loud even though the single-ply carries the longer number on the brochure. A granulated cap also survives the foot traffic that air conditioning technicians bring with them.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ASTM D3462 fiberglass-mat architectural shingles, shingles carrying an ASTM D7158 Class H wind rating, laminates that pass the UL 2218 Class 4 impact test, high-temperature self-adhered underlayment run over the ridge, twenty-four gauge Galvalume standing seam with concealed clips, sixty and eighty mil induction-welded TPO membrane — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Jackson and nearby communities including Clinton, Madison, Pearl, Brandon.

Materials, equipment and how we do flat & low-slope roofing
The difference between flat & low-slope roofing that lasts and flat & low-slope roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with ASTM D3462 fiberglass-mat architectural shingles, shingles carrying an ASTM D7158 Class H wind rating, laminates that pass the UL 2218 Class 4 impact test, high-temperature self-adhered underlayment run over the ridge, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Jackson job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in central Mississippi means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Jackson Chooses Jackson Roof Pros
- ✓We ask which month your leak appears before we ask which slope it is on, because on this ground the calendar is better evidence than the map
- ✓Downspout discharge is measured and balanced on all four elevations rather than extended heroically on the wet side only
- ✓Reference points are scribed at the eave corners on the first visit so the second visit measures against something real
- ✓Ridge and roof-to-wall re-sets are priced as their own line item instead of being folded into a shingle number
