Roofing and Pool Questions, Answered

Yes. Dickerson Contracting is licensed through the Mississippi State Board of Contractors, insured, and based at 721 Liberty Rd in Flowood. We are BBB accredited and 5 star rated across 100+ Google reviews.

Central Mississippi. Our shop sits on the Brandon and Flowood line, so most crews start the day in Rankin, Hinds or Madison County. Every town we serve is listed at the foot of each page.

Two separate things. The manufacturer warrants the materials, and that paperwork comes from them and matches exactly what we installed. Our side is the workmanship, and our guarantee is the one we can always keep: we do what we say we will.

Yes. Full residential re-roofs and targeted repairs are both part of the residential and repair service lines. We specify the system your roof needs, write the scope, and finish with a clean jobsite.

Yes. We document storm damage, meet adjusters when needed, and rebuild when the claim is approved. On a covered claim, you pay your deductible. That is it.

Yes. Standing seam and other metal systems for homes and buildings, plus commercial EPDM, TPO and PVC, including flat and low-slope work.

You get a written, itemized quote with an agreed-to price after we see the roof. You approve every dollar before it becomes a bill.

It depends on the roof. Steep, complex or multi-layer roofs take longer than a simple one. Your written scope includes a start window and a crew contact before tear-off begins.

Yes. If the problem is localized and the surrounding roof is sound, we quote repair. If stacked repairs will not protect the house, we say so and quote a full residential roof system.

We tear off to the bare deck, every time. That is how we find and fix soft wood, and it means your underlayment and flashings are new, not layered over a failing system.

TPO, EPDM and PVC, selected for the deck, drainage, rooftop equipment and warranty path. Insulation, cover board and edge metal are part of the same scope.

Yes. Staging, phasing and fall protection are planned around tenants and staff, with after-hours or weekend work when the building requires it.

Both. Seam, flashing and drain repairs are common when the field is still sound. We recommend replacement when moisture in the assembly or overall wear makes repairs a short delay, not a fix.

Yes. Sequencing curbs, units and membrane work keeps leaks from being designed in. Tell us who else is on the roof before we mobilize.

Failed flashings at walls and equipment, open seams, clogged drains and ponding water. A curb or parapet detail is often the real entry point.

Yes, with methods and materials compatible with each membrane. Older built-up and modified systems are assessed case by case.

Coatings can help some sound roofs as maintenance, but they do not fix wet insulation, open flashings or widespread membrane failure. We will say when a coating fits and when it does not.

It depends on the scope. Larger areas, drain rebuilds or phased commercial work take longer than a small flashing or seam repair, and you get a schedule with the written scope.

Yes. We detail curbs and flashings and coordinate with mechanical contractors when units are replaced at the same time.

No. Metal often costs more up front and suits some roof shapes and goals better than others. We recommend asphalt when it is the better value for your house and plans.

Noise depends on attic space, insulation and underlayment, and cathedral ceilings transmit more sound. We choose assembly details that reduce it where possible.

Often, for flashings, penetrations and limited panel damage. Widespread fastener or seam failure may call for a larger scope, and the repair visit diagnoses which path fits.

It depends on the roof. Complex cuts, custom colors and multi-story access take longer than a simple roof, and your written schedule follows the quote.

Active interior leaks get priority, and timing depends on weather and the schedule. Call 601-724-4282 for the next available slot.

Yes. Steep-slope shingle, metal and many flat or low-slope commercial assemblies are all in scope.

When the deck, underlayment or overall wear means repairs will stack up faster than a planned replacement. We tell you which path protects the building longer and quote a full system when it is needed.

As closely as product lines and sun fade allow. On older roofs, new tabs may stand out until weathering blends them, and we tell you that before work starts.

Yes, when scheduled. We bring findings and photos so the conversation stays on the roof, not on guesswork.

The roof inspection is free. Complex commercial scopes may differ, so ask the office when you call.

We still show you what the roof needs and quote it. You can pay out of pocket, appeal with better documentation, or phase the work over time. A denial does not mean the roof is fine.

Only if the damage clearly exceeds your deductible. We give you an honest read on that before you call anyone, because a claim that does not clear your deductible helps nobody and still goes on your history.

So the same slopes get looked at once, together, with the photo report in hand. Damage missed at that meeting is the most common reason a homeowner is approved for a patch when the roof needs a system.

Most policies pay the Actual Cash Value first, holding back your deductible and the depreciation. Once the work is finished and invoiced, the depreciation is released as a second check. The gap is timing, not a shortfall.

When access and safety allow, we can help stabilize the building until permanent repairs are scheduled.

As soon as it is safe. Early inspection documents damage before other repairs or more weather confuse the file, and gets you in line while storm volume is high.

The same crews that build every Dickerson roof, run by an owner and a superintendent, to the manufacturer standards for whatever system the claim covers. Other products follow their own warranty paths.
