Questions from Jackson homeowners
Which parts of Jackson does PAL serve?
We focus on North and East Jackson: Fondren, Belhaven, Eastover and Northeast Jackson. If you aren't sure whether your address is in our area, enter your ZIP in the quote form or give us a call.
My Belhaven or Fondren house is nearly a hundred years old. Can you reroof it without damaging its character?
Yes. We start by looking at what the roof was originally built with and how the eaves, gutters and trim are detailed, then recommend materials that suit the house. Rotten decking and fascia are repaired with matching profiles rather than generic replacements.
Do I need approval for exterior work in a Jackson historic district?
Some Jackson neighborhoods fall within local historic districts, and exterior changes there may need city review. Rules vary by district, so confirm with the city before work begins. We can supply photos and material details for your submission.
Can you repair plaster or interior damage after a leak in an older Jackson home?
We can. Older homes often have plaster walls and original wood floors, and we repair them with care instead of tearing everything out and starting over.
Neighborhoods we work in
Belhaven
Close to downtown, Belhaven has some of the city's oldest residential streets, with Craftsman, Colonial Revival and Tudor-style houses on mature, tree-lined lots. Those big trees are beautiful, but they drop limbs in storms and keep roofs shaded and damp, which shortens the life of shingles and gutters.
Fondren
Fondren mixes early twentieth-century homes with small commercial buildings along its main streets. We see a lot of low-slope sections, porch roofs and additions that were tied into the original roof decades ago, and those tie-ins are frequent leak points.
Eastover and Northeast Jackson
Further out, Eastover and Northeast Jackson are known for larger mid-century and later homes on generous lots. Roofs here tend to be big, with long valleys and multiple chimneys, so flashing quality makes a real difference.
Older houses need a lighter touch
A house built in the 1920s was framed with dense old-growth lumber and often has plank decking instead of plywood. When we tear off an old Jackson roof, we inspect that decking board by board and replace only what has actually failed. The same goes for fascia, rafter tails and crown moldings: we repair what can be saved and mill or source matching profiles for the rest.
What we do here
- Historic restoration of roofs, siding, windows and trim
- Roof replacement for homes and small commercial buildings
- Roof repair after storms, fallen limbs and long-term leaks

Getting here from Brandon
Our Brandon base is about a twenty to thirty minute drive west on I-20 or Lakeland Drive, depending on the neighborhood and traffic. Crossing the Pearl River into Hinds County, our crews come to these north and east Jackson neighborhoods regularly, and we schedule around school traffic and narrow streets so trucks and dumpsters don't block neighbors.
