Why Are Roof Repairs More Important Now

Homeowners on the Gulf Coast, listen up: ignoring that small roof issue today could turn into a financial nightmare tomorrow. New roofing codes and FORTIFIED roof requirements are changing the game—and waiting too long on repairs could mean the difference between a few hundred dollars and tens of thousands.

The New Reality of Roofing in Mississippi

With updated building codes, especially in high-wind zones like Biloxi and Jackson County, roof replacements aren’t what they used to be. If your roof decking is not code compliant you will be forced to replace the entire deck, tape every seam, apply peel-and-stick underlayment across the whole roof and/or zip tape every seam to  meet strict wind resistance standards.

And guess what?

That doesn’t come cheap.

A full redeck and FORTIFIED-compliant roof can easily cost double what a standard roof used to—especially with rising material and labor costs.

What Does This Mean for You?

It means a $500 repair today can save you $10,000–$20,000 tomorrow. It means small problems—missing shingles, lifted flashing, cracked pipe boots—are now warning signs you can’t afford to ignore.
