Mississippi Roofers

Hiring a Roofer in Mississippi

Buildermuse currently lists 10 roofers in Mississippi, averaging 5.0 stars across 2,222 verified Google reviews. That is an unusually strong field — when nearly every firm clears 4.8 stars, response time and availability become the real differentiators, so call two or three rather than only the top result. Most of the crews above operate out of Brandon, Gulfport, and Ridgeland.

Mississippi requires licensing for contractors on projects over $50,000. The state board oversees both commercial and residential contractors. Confirm credentials with the Mississippi State Board of Contractors at (601) 354-6161 before work begins. Licenses renew on an annual cycle (December 31). Expect a $300 state application fee. At a minimum, ask for proof of $300,000 in general liability coverage and active workers' comp.

Labor is the biggest line item on most bids, and the Mississippi market sets the floor: construction workers here average $30.93 an hour — about $64,324 a year — across 51,394 workers statewide, per Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Use that figure as a sanity check when comparing quotes — a bid priced far below market labor rates usually means subcontracted or uninsured crews.
