In our coastal climate, common signs include interior water stains on ceilings or walls, a musty odor in your attic, or granules from shingles collecting in your gutters. The underlayment is a water-resistant barrier beneath your shingles, and Biloxi's humidity and storms can cause it to break down. If you notice any of these signs, it's time for a professional inspection to prevent further damage to your roof deck.

Due to our intense sun, heat, and occasional severe weather, shingles in Biloxi often need replacement sooner than in milder climates. While typical asphalt shingle lifespan is 20-25 years, we frequently see them needing attention at 15-18 years here. We recommend a professional inspection every 2-3 years, especially after storm season, to assess granule loss, curling, or cracking—key indicators your shingles are aging and may be compromising your home's protection.

It depends on the extent of the damage. For isolated leaks or damage from a fallen branch, a targeted repair of the underlayment and affected shingles is often sufficient. However, if the underlayment is failing due to widespread age or improper installation, a full roof replacement is usually the most cost-effective and reliable long-term solution. We'll provide a thorough, honest assessment and explain all your options to ensure your Biloxi home is properly secured.
