Roof Repair in Hernando
A leak around a vent pipe, a few shingles lifted by a gust or a soft spot near a valley is usually a repair, not a new roof. We tell you plainly if the fix is all the roof needs, and we do not quote more than that.
If you are looking for roofers in Hernando, MS, you are already in our home town. Advance Roofing & Restoration is based here, and Greg Stephens, who owns the company, runs it from the DeSoto County seat. If your house is in town, the owner of the company you call is based in the same place you are.
Hernando was first called Jefferson, later renamed for the explorer Hernando de Soto. The county courthouse still sits on the historic downtown square, where Commerce Street meets US 51, and I-55 runs past town on its way 25 miles north to Memphis.
The town has changed a lot in a generation. The 1990 census counted 3,125 people in Hernando; the 2020 census counted 17,138. That means the houses around the old square are a small share of the roofs in town now, and most of what stands in the newer subdivisions went up in the last thirty years or so, in waves, as each development filled in.
Roofing Work We Do Around Hernando
Free Inspections Close to Home
We get on the roof, look at the shingles, flashing, vents and decking, and walk you through what we saw. There is no charge for it, and the house is close to our base.
Replacing a Roof That Is Done
When the shingles are brittle, bare of granules or curling across whole slopes, patching stops making sense. We tear off down to the decking, replace any boards that have gone soft, and put on a new roof, then clean the yard and driveway before we leave.
Emergency Tarping in Town
We are open 24 hours, so if a limb comes through the roof or water starts dripping through a ceiling at night, call. The first job is a tarp or temporary cover to keep the house dry; the permanent repair comes after.
Roofs on the Old Square and the Newer Subdivisions
A house a few blocks from Court Square and a house in one of the subdivisions built since the 1990s are two different roof jobs. Older homes can carry a second layer of shingles laid over the first, chimney flashing that has been patched more than once, or decking that was never meant to hold modern shingles. Newer homes tend to need a closer look at vents, pipe boots and the ridge, where builder roofs usually show wear first.
Either way, we look at the whole roof before we price anything. If a repair will hold, that is what we recommend. If it will not, we explain why and quote a replacement so you can decide.
Storm Season Along the I-55 Corridor
DeSoto County takes its share of hard spring and summer storms, the kind that push wind under shingle edges and dump rain faster than gutters can carry it, and spring carries the risk of tornadoes. After a bad night, the things to look for from the yard are missing tabs, shingles flipped back to show a lighter strip, or a pile of granules at the bottom of a downspout.
If you see something, call and tell us what it looks like. We inspect the roof and show you what we find, so you know what you are dealing with before deciding on anything.
A Hernando, MS Roofer Based in Town
The advantage of a roofer based in town shows up after the job is done. Hernando is where Greg is based, so if a repair we made needs another look, or you just want someone to check the roof again before the next spring, the person you call is still here.
That also makes small jobs worth our time. Resealing a pipe boot or replacing a handful of shingles on a house near the square is a short trip for us, and we would rather fix it now than see it turn into a ceiling repair later.
