From the houses around Courthouse Square to newer homes near I-22, we cover Holly Springs and Marshall County from our base about 35 miles west in Hernando.
Holly Springs is the Marshall County seat, about 35 miles east of Hernando by road, and it is the eastern edge of the area Advance Roofing covers. Greg Stephens and his team come over for roof repair, inspections, emergency tarping and full residential roofing work on homes in town and across Marshall County.
Few towns in North Mississippi wear their age as openly. Holly Springs was founded in 1836 on land that had been Chickasaw territory, and the Marshall County courthouse still stands at the center of Courthouse Square. The city has six historic districts on the National Register (Courthouse Square, East, Southwest, Depot-Compress, North Memphis Street and Mississippi Industrial College) and antebellum houses such as Montrose. Rust College, founded in 1866, is here as well.
The town also sits on newer roads. I-22 runs along its southwest side toward Memphis, about 46 miles to the northwest, and Mississippi Highways 4 and 7 cross through the middle of town. So the housing here runs from tall old homes near the square to newer ones a few minutes from the interstate.
On an older Holly Springs house, a leak often traces back to a chimney, a dormer or a spot where an addition was tied into the original roof. We follow the water to that joint and repair it properly, rather than smearing sealant over the symptom.
A two-story house near Courthouse Square and a ranch home off Highway 7 call for different conversations. We look at the pitch, the layout and what is on the roof now, and lay out the options that fit that particular house.
If you own an older home, you probably want to know exactly what is wrong before anyone suggests tearing a roof off. A free inspection gives you that, slope by slope, with nothing decided until you have heard it.
When wind or a falling limb opens a roof in Marshall County, the job is to keep the house dry first. Call any time, day or night, and we will talk through getting the roof covered until the permanent work can be done.
Older houses like the ones around the square often come with tall roofs, steep pitches, more than one chimney and porches added on over the decades. Each of those features is a seam, and seams are where roofs fail. Mortar loosens around a chimney, a porch roof pulls slightly away from the wall, and water finds the gap.
On a house like that, a good repair starts with patience. We look at how the roof was put together, what has been patched before and what is still original, and then we fix the problem without creating a new one next to it.
If your home sits in one of the city’s historic districts, check with the city about any rules on roofing materials before work is scheduled, so there are no surprises.
When a Holly Springs roof is worn out on every slope, a roof replacement is the better use of money than another patch. On an older house the tear-off also shows what is underneath, so we check the decking, replace any soft boards and then put the new roof on. You get a written estimate before anything starts.
Our roof replacement page walks through the full process, from tear-off to cleanup.
A free roof inspection in Holly Springs puts someone on the roof to go over the shingles, flashing, vents, valleys and chimneys slope by slope. You hear what turned up before any price is mentioned, and if the roof is sound, you hear that too. Our roof inspection page lists everything we check.
Not every house in Holly Springs is old. Newer homes nearer the interstate and out in Marshall County usually carry standard asphalt shingle roofs with simpler shapes. Their weak points are different: pipe boots, exposed nails along the ridge and shingle edges that take the brunt of the wind.
For a newer roof that has been through a few hard storms, a free inspection or a maintenance visit is usually the right first step. If something has already started leaking, see our roof repair page.
Marshall County is open to the same storm lines that cross the rest of North Mississippi each spring and summer. Where big old trees stand close to a house, the risk goes up, because a storm that would only lift a few shingles can drop a limb onto the roof.
After a storm, we inspect the roof and lay out what we found, so you can decide what to do next. If you are thinking about a claim, we explain how the process works, and the decision to file is yours.
Yes. Holly Springs is about 35 miles east of our base in Hernando by road, and Marshall County is part of our service area, in town and out in the county.
Yes. On an older house we look closely at the chimneys, dormers and porch tie-ins before recommending anything.
No. Roof inspections and estimates are free in Holly Springs and across Marshall County. We tell you what the roof needs, and you decide what happens next.
Stay out of any room where the ceiling is sagging, then call (901) 350-5290. We are open 24 hours, and the first step is a tarp or temporary cover to keep water out until the roof can be permanently repaired.
Yes, we can be up there with the adjuster when they come out to look. Settling the claim is up to you and your insurer, and once it is settled we work from the scope they approved.
Just a time to look at the roof. After the inspection we write up what the roof needs and what the work includes, so you can compare it side by side with anything else you are considering.

Advance roofing company is very professional, thorough, works diligently & directly with your insurance company. They make all necessary calls to the insurance company & meet with inspectors to ensure all damages are reported. If your claim is disapproved the Advance company works effectively & resubmits claim including a video recording to describe over looked damages to the insurance company that may have been missed to ensure all damages are exposed. Advance Roofing company works very hard from start to finished until the insurance company approves your claim. I was very pleased with the outcome & received a completed replaced roof in one day after being denied twice by the insurance company. Everything was done professionally, including placing plastic down around the house. Excellent job with cleaning up all debris, nails & old roofing. I was extremely satisfied & elated to get the job done so quickly. I would recommend using this company if you want excellent service.
Advance Roofing and Restoration was great to work with. I experienced almost 2 Years of agony because my insurance company denied my claim. Greg sent one of his team members to repair the most damaged area of my roof and once everything was finally resolved , his team replaced my roof. They did an excellent job.
