Correcting One of the Worst Metal Roof Installations We’ve Seen
Not all “new roofs” are created equal.
This month, Ensured Roofing completed a full roof replacement in the Sunkist area of Biloxi, Mississippi, after being called in to correct what was one of the worst metal roof installations we have encountered on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
The homeowner had recently purchased the property believing the roof would provide long-term protection. Unfortunately, the roof system had been installed improperly from top to bottom—and failure was only a matter of time.
What Was Wrong With the Existing Metal Roof?
During our inspection, multiple critical installation failures were immediately apparent:
- Metal roofing panels installed directly over old shingles
- Battens that were not properly fastened or secured
- Incorrect trim, flashing, and transition details throughout the roof
- No proper moisture or wind protection beneath the panels
These issues significantly increase the risk of water intrusion, wind uplift, and premature roof failure, especially in a coastal environment like Biloxi where storms, wind, and heavy rain are common.
This type of installation is something we often see on homes that were recently purchased—where a roof may look acceptable from the ground but is fundamentally flawed underneath.
Our Solution: A Proper Roof Replacement Built for the Coast
To protect the home long term, we performed a complete tear-off and rebuilt the roofing system correctly from the deck up.
Scope of Work Completed:
- Full removal of the improperly installed metal roof and underlying shingles
- Replacement of damaged roof decking where required
- Installation of a full ice and water shield system in critical areas
- Proper synthetic underlayment and ventilation components
- New Atlas Pinnacle architectural shingles installed to manufacturer specifications
- All flashing, trim, and accessories installed to meet coastal building standards
The result is a FORTIFIED-style roofing system designed to handle Gulf Coast weather conditions while providing reliable, long-term protection.
Why Proper Roof Installation Matters in Biloxi, MS
Biloxi homes face unique challenges due to:
- High winds and tropical weather systems
- Heavy rainfall and humidity
- Salt air exposure
- Aging homes with multiple roof layers over time
Improper roof installations—especially metal roofs installed over shingles—can quietly cause damage for years before problems become visible inside the home.
If you are:
- Buying a home in Biloxi or the surrounding areas
- Experiencing unexplained roof leaks
- Concerned about a past roof installation
- Looking to replace a failed or poorly installed roof
A professional roof inspection can save you from costly surprises.
