Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer free roof inspections?

Yes. Ensured Roofing provides free roof inspections for homeowners and property owners along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We’ll inspect the roof, document any issues, and explain your options clearly.

Do you work with insurance claims?

Yes. We help homeowners understand the roof claim process, document storm damage, meet with adjusters when needed, and make sure code-required items are properly reviewed.

Should I file an insurance claim for my roof?

Not always. Before filing a claim, it’s best to have your roof inspected and review your policy coverage. We help homeowners avoid unnecessary claims when damage or coverage may not support one.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Biloxi, Gulfport, Ocean Springs, D’Iberville, Long Beach, Pass Christian, Bay St. Louis, Pascagoula, Gautier, and surrounding Mississippi Gulf Coast communities.

Do you install FORTIFIED roofs?

Yes. We install roofing systems designed for coastal conditions and can help with FORTIFIED Roof requirements when applicable.

What is a FORTIFIED Roof in Mississippi?

A FORTIFIED Roof is a roofing system built to higher standards designed to better protect homes from hurricanes, high winds, and heavy rain common along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. These systems use stronger installation methods, sealed roof decking, and upgraded materials to help reduce storm damage and water intrusion. Some homeowners may also qualify for insurance discounts with a certified FORTIFIED Roof.

What makes Ensured Roofing different?

We focus on coastal-built roofing systems, proper code compliance, quality materials, detailed documentation, and long-term protection — not just getting a roof installed quickly.

Do you install metal roofs?

Yes. We install both asphalt shingle and metal roofing systems. We can help you compare durability, cost, appearance, and maintenance before choosing the right option.

How Long Does a Metal Roof Last on the Gulf Coast?

A properly installed metal roof on the Gulf Coast can often last 40–70 years depending on the material, installation quality, and coastal exposure. Metal roofs offer excellent wind resistance and durability, but proper installation and coastal-rated materials are extremely important in salty, humid environments like coastal Mississippi.

We commonly recommend Atlas Pinnacle shingles because they offer excellent wind resistance, long-term algae protection, and strong performance for Mississippi Gulf Coast conditions. Atlas Pinnacle shingles are designed to handle harsh coastal weather while maintaining curb appeal for years.

Do you replace roof decking?

Yes. If decking is damaged, rotted, delaminated, or does not meet current code requirements, we can replace or overlay decking using code-approved fastening methods.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most residential roof replacements are completed in one to two days, depending on roof size, weather, decking repairs, and material type.

Do you offer warranties?

Yes. Ensured Roofing offers a lifetime labor warranty on qualifying roof replacements, along with applicable manufacturer warranties.

Can you repair roof leaks?

Yes. We repair roof leaks, storm damage, flashing issues, pipe boot failures, chimney leaks, and other common roofing problems.

Do you repair or replace chimney caps?

Yes. We regularly repair and replace chimney caps to help prevent leaks, rust damage, and water intrusion.

How do I know if I need a roof repair or full replacement?

That depends on the roof’s age, condition, damage, prior repairs, and whether the issue is isolated or widespread. We’ll inspect it and give you an honest recommendation.
