STORM RESTORATION IN GAUTIER, MISSISSIPPI
Storm Restoration in Gautier, MS
After a storm in Gautier, Armor inspects the roof, documents the damage and what was already there, and explains whether it can be repaired. Gautier's most recent test was the October 26, 2025 EF-1 tornado, and the mayor said most of the damage it left was to roofs.
After the October 2025 Tornado, Gautier Knows the Drill.
Document the damage before anything changes
Photograph the roof, ceilings and attic from a safe place before tarps or repairs go on, and note where water appeared. After the October 2025 tornado, lifted tabs, stripped flashing and loosened edges were common along the path from Bacot Park to Martin Bluff Road.
Expect the city to move quickly
After the 2025 tornado, Gautier expedited permits for properties with substantial damage. Ask the contractor to confirm the permit for your address with the Planning & Building Department at (228) 497-1878 before permanent repairs begin.
Watch the deposit
After the 2023 Moss Point tornado, FEMA and MEMA warned Jackson County residents about contractors demanding unusually large cash deposits or full payment up front. A deposit should cover materials being ordered, not the whole job.

Storm Damage Follows Different Paths Across Gautier.
Tornadoes, hurricanes and wind-driven rain have each hit Gautier differently. Where your home sits, and how old it is, shapes what a storm inspection should look for.
01
Bacot Park to Highway 90
Where the 2025 Tornado Peaked
The October 2025 tornado started east of Ladnier Road near Bacot Park, stripped flashing from apartments, and peaked just south of US 90. Homes nearby should be checked for flashing and edge damage that is hard to see from the ground.
02
Northwood Hills to Martin Bluff Road
EF-0 to EF-1 Damage
From Northwood Hills through Westgate Parkway, the tornado left EF-0 damage, then strengthened near Martin Bluff Road and damaged apartment and condominium roofs. Shingle seals broken by wind can fail months later.
03
Near the River & Bayous
Wind-Driven Rain & Moisture
Gautier sits where the Pascagoula River meets the Sound, with bayous on three sides. After a storm, wind-driven rain can enter at flashing and penetrations, so the attic is checked for wet decking and insulation.
04
Mobile & Manufactured Homes
About 15% of Gautier Housing
Gautier has about 1,276 mobile homes, and they take wind differently than site-built houses. Their roofs need a different repair approach and are not eligible for FORTIFIED grants, so ask any roofer whether they work on them.
