Roofing contractor · Rankin, Madison & Hinds Counties
Roofing Company Serving Brandon & Jackson, MS
New roofs, commercial roofing, inspections and storm claims from a veteran-owned contractor that has been putting roofs on Central Mississippi homes since 2008.
Roof replacement done once, done right
Mississippi is hard on roofs. Summer attic temperatures bake shingles from below, afternoon thunderstorms drive water under weak flashing, and spring hail can bruise a roof that still looks fine from the driveway. When a roof reaches the end of its life, patching it every season gets expensive. A full replacement resets the clock.
Every PAL replacement starts with a hands-on inspection: we walk the roof, check the attic for daylight and moisture, and probe soft spots in the decking. You get a written estimate that spells out tear-off, underlayment, flashing, ventilation and the shingle or metal system we recommend — not a single number scribbled on a business card.
Roofing cost & storm questions
How much does it cost to roof a 2,000 sq ft house in Mississippi?
A 2,000 square foot house usually has somewhere around 22 to 30 roofing squares once pitch, overhangs and waste are counted. With architectural shingles, many homes that size fall roughly in the $9,000 to $16,000 range, while metal roofing commonly costs noticeably more. Steep pitches, multiple layers to remove and rotten decking push the price up, so treat any number you hear before an inspection as a ballpark.
When is the cheapest time of year to replace a roof?
Late fall and winter tend to be the slower months for Mississippi roofers, and that is often when scheduling is most flexible. Spring storm season and the weeks after a big hail event are the busiest. Material prices are set by manufacturers and don't drop much seasonally, so the real advantage of the off-season is availability rather than a dramatic discount.
My roof was hit by hail or a storm — what should I do first?
Make sure everyone is safe, then photograph damage from the ground and inside the house, and cover any active leak with a tarp or bucket. Call your insurance company to open a claim, and have a roofer inspect before the adjuster visits so you understand what's damaged. Avoid signing anything with door-to-door crews who show up right after the storm.
Residential roofing
Most of the homes we roof in Brandon, Flowood and Madison wear architectural asphalt shingles, and for good reason: they handle our wind ratings well, come in colors that suit brick and siding, and carry strong manufacturer warranties when installed to spec. We also install standing-seam and exposed-fastener metal roofs for owners who want a longer service life or a farmhouse look.
PAL also installs and repairs cedar shake roofs, which are common on older and historic homes.
What's included in a typical replacement
- Full tear-off to the deck and replacement of any rotten or delaminated sheathing
- Synthetic underlayment, plus ice-and-water membrane in valleys and around penetrations
- New drip edge, pipe boots and step or counter flashing where walls meet the roof
- Ridge or off-ridge ventilation sized to the attic so shingles don't cook
- Magnet sweep of the yard and driveway and haul-off of all debris
Commercial roofing
Offices, small retail centers, churches and rental properties have different needs than a house. Low-slope sections, parapet walls, rooftop units and drainage all have to be planned. PAL handles commercial roof replacement and repair and can schedule work to keep tenants open for business. Because we also do commercial siding, painting and sheetrock, owners can bundle exterior and interior work with one contractor.
TPO for flat and low-slope roofs
A single-ply membrane offers a different approach from shingles on shallow roof sections. Our TPO roofing guide explains welded seams, insulation, drainage, recover decisions and maintenance so building owners can compare a repair with a complete new assembly.
Roof inspections
Buying a house, selling one, or just wondering how many years your roof has left? A professional inspection gives you a clear picture. We document condition with photos, note shingle wear, flashing problems, ventilation and decking issues, and tell you plainly whether you need nothing, a targeted roof repair, or a replacement plan.
Storm, hail and insurance claims
We work with insurance companies and adjusters regularly. After hail or high wind, we inspect, photograph every slope, and prepare a damage report and measurements. If the damage qualifies, we can meet the adjuster on the roof so nothing is missed. You remain responsible for your deductible — any contractor offering to "cover" it is a red flag — but a well-documented claim makes the process far smoother.

More about our roofing work
Do you install commercial roofs?
Yes. Along with shingle roofs, we handle low-slope and metal roofing on commercial buildings, and we can coordinate siding, painting or interior sheetrock on the same property.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single-family homes are torn off and re-roofed in one to three working days, depending on size, weather and how much decking needs replacing. Commercial and historic roofs take longer and get their own schedule.
