Metal Roofing in Jackson, MS
Metal earns its price on service life and storm performance, and it punishes sloppy detailing in a way shingle does not. Jacob or Jordan runs the job with a superintendent on site, which is why the detailing holds up.
Standing seam keeps its fasteners hidden under the seam rather than leaving a rubber washer out in the sun. Exposed fastener panels cost less and belong on shops and outbuildings, but every screw is a hole through the surface you want watertight. Our statewide metal roofing page covers the comparison in more depth.
We set expectations up front and we do not over-promise. You approve every dollar before it becomes a bill.

In a Historic District, Metal Is a Review Question First
This is the single most important thing to know before pricing metal on a Jackson house in Farish Street, the Medgar Evers Neighborhood, Morris, Belhaven Heights or Belhaven.
The city distinguishes replacement with identical sizes and types of material, which is routine maintenance handled by a $15 Compliance Agreement, from a change of material or profile, which is not. Going from asphalt shingle to standing seam is a change of material by definition, so it needs a Certificate of Appropriateness at $40, submitted with photographs, material samples, manufacturer specifications, drawings and a site plan.
The Commission meets on the second Wednesday of the month at noon at 200 South President Street. Belhaven and Belhaven Heights publish their own design guidelines, and rehabilitation follows the Secretary of the Interior's Standards. None of that means the answer is no. It means the answer is decided in a meeting, on a schedule, with a submittal, and it should be settled before you order panels rather than after.
Outside those five districts and the 14 individually designated sites, none of this applies. Fondren included.
What the Hinds County Record Argues
Hinds County logged 539 storm events between 2015 and 2025, among them 281 thunderstorm wind reports, 48 hail reports and 46 tornado records. Twenty-five of those wind events reached 69 miles an hour or higher, which works out to roughly 26 severe wind reports a year.
Metal handles that better than an aging shingle roof. A steel panel dents where a weathered shingle bruises and sheds granules, and a dent does not let water through. On hail like the two and a half inch stones the Weather Service measured in southwest Jackson in April 2022, that difference is the whole argument.
It also sheds heat rather than absorbing it, which shows up on a Mississippi power bill. The noise question arrives with every quote, and the answer is that deck, underlayment and attic insulation sit between you and the panel.
Cost, Lifespan and When We Talk You Out of It
Metal asks for more money now and returns a much longer service life, so the arithmetic only works if you plan to stay in the house or hold the building. Over a short horizon a quality shingle roof is usually the better buy, and we will tell you that rather than sell up.
Jackson adds a second consideration. On a house from the 1960s, complicated original roof geometry can drive metal detailing costs up without improving the result, and if the house is in a review district the submittal adds time before anything gets ordered. We price both paths so the decision rests on value rather than pressure.

Common questions
Can I put a metal roof on a house in a Jackson historic district?
It has to go through review. Changing from shingle to metal is a change of material, so it needs a Certificate of Appropriateness at $40 with photographs, material samples, specifications, drawings and a site plan, rather than the $15 Compliance Agreement a like-for-like replacement uses.
Is a metal roof loud in the rain?
No. Decking, underlayment and attic insulation sit between you and the panel. The reputation comes from bare metal over open framing on barns and sheds.
Does metal really do better in a storm?
In wind and hail it generally does. Hinds County recorded 25 separate wind events at 69 miles an hour or higher between 2015 and 2025. Metal dents where shingle bruises and loses granules.
How long does a metal roof last?
Substantially longer than shingle, which is where it earns its cost. That only pencils out if you plan to stay in the house or hold the building.
