ROOF REPLACEMENT IN GULFPORT, MISSISSIPPI
Roof Replacement in Gulfport, MS
Armor replaces roofs in Gulfport with an inspection-first process. Gulfport's roofing guidelines treat the entire city as a high-wind area rated at 160 mph, require a permit for every re-roof, and require a nailing inspection whenever decking is repaired. A Gulfport proposal should be written to those rules.
Gulfport Publishes Its Roofing Rules. Hold Every Proposal to Them.
Read the city's roofing guidelines
Gulfport's Roof Permit Application requires shingles rated ASTM D7158 Class H, at least six nails per shingle, metal drip edge at all roof edges, and step flashing at least 4 by 4 inches, one piece per course. Ask each contractor to confirm the proposal meets every line.
Underlayment depends on the slope
The guidelines call for one layer of underlayment at 4:12 and steeper, two layers or ice-and-water shield from 2:12 to 4:12, and no asphalt shingles below 2:12 without a membrane. Low-slope porches and additions are where this gets missed.
Decking repairs mean a nailing inspection
Any decking repair needs a permit and a nailing inspection, and every roof gets a final inspection. The permit card must be posted where it can be seen from the street before work begins, so you can confirm the job is permitted.

On a Gulfport job, the photos should line up with the city's guidelines: the shingle wrapper, the nailing, the drip edge, the underlayment, and any deck repairs that triggered a nailing inspection. Armor case studies document each.
Until Gulf Coast projects are completed, selected work from Armor's Michigan operation will be shown clearly as established company experience. We will not manufacture local projects just to fill a page.
ROOF REPLACEMENT ACROSS GULFPORT
Gulfport Roofs, From 1960s Ranches to Post-Katrina Rebuilds.
The median Gulfport home was built in 1986, but the city's housing spans more than a century. These four groups make up most of what we expect to replace.
01
1960s & 1970s Homes
About 30% of the City
Homes from the 1960s and 1970s often have decking and ventilation that predate today's 160 mph guidelines. Expect decking repairs, which bring a nailing inspection, and make sure the proposal prices them.
02
Post-Katrina Rebuilds
Built 2000 to 2009
About 20% of Gulfport's homes went up during the 2000s rebuild. Many carry their first roof, now near 20 years old. Replacement is the time to add a sealed deck and FORTIFIED details.
03
Pass Road to Highway 90
The April 2026 Tornadoes
Three 95 mph EF-1 tornadoes crossed Gulfport on April 25, 2026, and one removed shingles between 34th Street and Highway 90. Roofs along those paths should be documented before you decide between repair and replacement.
04
North Gulfport
Newer Homes, Same 160 mph Rules
North of I-10, newer subdivisions fall under the same citywide 160 mph rating. In 2011, a 105 mph EF-1 tornado took part of a roof off a home along Landon Road north of the city. Newer roofs still get a full inspection.
