STORM RESTORATION IN GULFPORT, MISSISSIPPI
Storm Restoration in Gulfport, MS
After a storm in Gulfport, Armor inspects the roof, documents the damage and what was already there, and explains whether it can be repaired. Gulfport recorded the strongest sustained wind reported during Hurricane Zeta, and three tornadoes crossed the city in April 2026.
In Gulfport, Storm Repairs Still Need a Permit.
Repairs follow the city's roofing guidelines
Gulfport's roofing guidelines treat the whole city as a 160 mph area. A permit is required for re-roofing, any decking repair needs a nailing inspection, and the permit card must be posted where it can be seen from the street.
Don't sign away the claim
In February 2026, the Attorney General, the Insurance Commissioner and the State Board of Contractors warned homeowners not to make permanent repairs before the insurer inspects, and not to sign anything giving a contractor rights to the insurance payout.
Zeta roofs can still be waiting
Three years after Zeta, a state-funded program was still taking applications from Harrison County homeowners with unrepaired Zeta roof damage. If an old storm repair was never finished, say so at the inspection.

Storm Damage Has Hit Gulfport From Every Direction.
Hurricanes come off the Sound, and tornadoes have crossed the city from the beach to the north side. Where your home sits shapes what a storm inspection looks for.
01
Beach Boulevard & Highway 90
Hurricane Front Line
After Katrina, Gulfport's fire chief estimated that 75% of the city's buildings had major roof damage. Homes near the beach take the first wind, and inspections focus on edges, ridge caps and flashing.
02
34th Street to Highway 90
April 25, 2026 Tornadoes
Three 95 mph EF-1 tornadoes crossed Gulfport within minutes. One ran from 34th Street and Highway 49 toward Highway 90 and removed shingles from homes. Roofs near those paths should be documented before repair.
03
Near the Aquarium
June 2020 Tornado
A 65 mph EF-0 tornado tracked from US 90 near the aquarium to the CSX line near Henderson Avenue, leaving minor roof damage to several homes. Small damage left unrepaired becomes a leak later.
04
Zeta's Strongest Wind
74 Knots Sustained
The National Hurricane Center said the strongest sustained wind it received during Zeta came from Gulfport: 74 knots, gusting to 88. Roofs that came through Zeta can still have broken seals that fail in the next storm.

Coverage is the carrier's decision. The roofing scope still has to make construction sense.
