Shingle Roof Installation, Brookhaven & Jackson, MS

Many homeowners assume they need a full roof replacement when repairs could be enough. If your roof is over 20 years old, has widespread shingle curling, missing shingles, or leaks in multiple areas, a replacement is likely necessary. However, if the issue is localized—like a few missing or damaged shingles—a repair might suffice. Our team thoroughly inspects your roof to determine the most cost-effective solution without unnecessary replacements.

One common mistake is focusing only on price rather than durability. Some homeowners choose the cheapest shingles, only to find they don’t hold up well in Mississippi’s weather. Another issue is ignoring ventilation—poor ventilation can shorten your roof’s lifespan by trapping heat and moisture. We guide you through the best options for your budget, ensuring your roof lasts as long as possible while providing excellent weather resistance.

The timeframe depends on your roof’s size, complexity, and weather conditions. Typically, a standard residential shingle roof installation takes 1-3 days. If there are underlying issues, such as rotten decking that needs replacement, it might take longer. Our team prioritizes efficiency while ensuring every detail is done right, keeping you informed throughout the process.

Many homeowners budget for shingles but overlook additional costs such as replacing damaged decking, improving ventilation, or addressing unforeseen structural issues. Another hidden cost can be disposal fees for old roofing materials. At T-Rob Roofing and Painting, we provide a transparent estimate upfront so you’re not caught off guard by unexpected expenses.

Some homeowners believe all shingles are the same, but different grades offer varying durability, wind resistance, and lifespan. Another misconception is that darker shingles automatically make a home hotter—proper ventilation matters more than shingle color. Lastly, many think a new roof solves all leaks, but poor attic insulation or flashing issues can also cause moisture problems.

Shingle roofs can withstand strong winds, heavy rain, and hail if installed properly with quality materials. Choosing impact-resistant shingles and ensuring proper installation techniques—such as using six nails per shingle instead of four—can enhance your roof’s durability. In hurricane-prone areas, reinforcing the edges and securing the decking helps prevent wind uplift.

Most manufacturers offer warranties ranging from 20 to 50 years, depending on the type of shingles. However, improper installation can void warranties, which is why it’s crucial to hire a qualified contractor. We provide both manufacturer warranties and workmanship warranties, so you’re covered in case of material defects or installation issues.

The main cost factors include the size of your roof, the type and quality of shingles you choose, labor costs, and any necessary structural repairs. Additional features like improved insulation or high-wind-resistant shingles can also impact pricing. We work with customers to find cost-effective solutions that maximize durability and curb appeal.

Shingle roofs are more affordable upfront, easier to install, and provide a traditional aesthetic that many homeowners prefer. They also offer good sound insulation, reducing noise from rain. However, metal roofs last longer (40-70 years) and are more resistant to extreme weather. The right choice depends on your budget, climate, and long-term goals. We can help weigh the pros and cons based on your needs.

First, we remove the old roof and inspect the decking for damage. Then, we install underlayment, flashing, and new shingles, ensuring proper sealing and ventilation. The process involves some noise and debris, but we take steps to minimize disruption and clean up thoroughly afterward. We also keep you updated throughout the project so you know what’s happening at each stage.
