Jackson Roof Pros provides professional residential roof installation in Jackson, MS for residential and commercial properties across central Mississippi. Jackson is not the coast and the code reflects that. State law compels five counties on the Gulf to enforce wind and flood mitigation provisions.
Hinds County is not among them, so what governs your new deck here is whatever the local authority actually adopted.
That is a real question rather than a technicality. The Mississippi Building Code Council adopted the 2018 international codes, and jurisdictions adopt locally from among recent editions, with an opt-out available to a county or a city. So the first thing we ask on a new build is which edition the permit was issued under, and the answer goes on the proposal in writing.
Inland central Mississippi sits below the 130 mile per hour line, so the deck schedule is six inches along panel edges and twelve inches at intermediate framing, with the intermediate spacing tightening to six inches within four feet of eaves, rakes and ridges. That tightened band is where uplift concentrates and it is the first thing lost when a crew nails a whole deck one way.
The dry-in window in Jackson is a spring problem. March through May brings line storms that arrive in the afternoon with very little warning, and a deck sheathed at three o'clock and left open is how a new house acquires a stain nobody will own. We seal each plane the day it is sheathed, which means smaller daily bites and more days on the schedule than a faster-sounding bid.
Houses here move. Yazoo clay shrinks and swells with the season, and a roof plane shows it at the ridge and in the valleys before anything cracks indoors.
On new work that argues for a self-adhered sheet in the valleys and at every penetration rather than trusting a mechanically fastened layer to stay flat over a deck that will not. That is a few hundred dollars of membrane against a problem no shingle can solve.
We are licensed by the Mississippi State Board of Contractors for residential roofing and commercial work, and the permit and inspections run through the local building office. If a general contractor on your job already carries a roofer working beside the framer, use him, because schedule is most of the value on new construction. Call us for additions, garage conversions, and bare-deck rebuilds where the sheathing itself is coming off.
Our 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 residential roof installation
The difference between residential roof installation that lasts and residential roof installation 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.
