Roofing in Latimer, MS
Eighteen percent of the housing in Latimer is a manufactured home. That is 463 of 2,573 units, and it is the single most important thing a roofer can know about this community before quoting anything, because a manufactured home's roof is a different job with different fastening and different rules.
The covering on a manufactured home is fastened to a light steel or thin timber frame designed to a federal standard, not to a code-framed rafter and sheathed deck. Anchoring, edge detail and penetration flashing all differ, and Mississippi's state construction code adoption expressly does not reach manufactured or mobile homes at all.
Which means the code-plus argument a roofer makes about your neighbor's site-built house does not transfer to your home, and neither does the price. We will tell you at the inspection which category your structure falls into, and if the honest answer is that the work belongs with a manufactured housing crew rather than with us, that is what you will hear.
Latimer is unincorporated Jackson County ground north of Interstate 10, so permits come from the county. Its published scale is 15 dollars for the first 1,000 dollars of valuation plus 5 dollars per additional thousand, and a manufactured or mobile home installation permit is a flat 75 dollars.
The site-built stock here is newer than most of the county. Median year built is 1998, with 26.5 percent of units from the 2000s and 24.4 percent from the 1990s. Owner occupancy is 81.8 percent and median value is 189,400 dollars. Only 14.3 percent of the housing predates 1970, so plank decking is uncommon here.
Twenty-six years of national storm records return no entry filed under Latimer at all. Not a wind report, not hail, not a tornado. Observers file to Vancleave, Ocean Springs and D'Iberville instead, and the county-wide events that crossed the Bluff Creek watershed are recorded under those names.
Take that as information rather than reassurance. It means no bidder can name a dated Latimer storm, so if someone at your door implies recent damage across this community, ask them for the date and the filing location. It also means your roof's condition is a question about age and workmanship, not about one bad afternoon.
About Latimer, MS — and why local matters here
Latimer sits in Jackson County with a population of roughly 6,720, close enough to Gulfport that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the Bluff Creek watershed, the Latimer community along Mississippi Highway 57.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Latimer properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Jackson County, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.

Roofing work we do in Latimer, MS
Gulfport Roof Pros covers the same range of work in Latimer that we do in Gulfport — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Wind Damage Roof Repair — Get the price before you get a claim number. That order is backwards from what most people are told, and on this coast it is the order that saves money, because most wind repairs land under the deductible and a claim record bought for nothing still costs you.
- Roof Inspections — An inspection here should produce two numbers, not a sales pitch. What the repair costs, and what your deductible is.
- Asphalt Shingle Roofs — Shingles cover most of Gulfport, and the specification question here is economic rather than aesthetic. Every small failure a cheaper assembly produces is a repair you fund entirely yourself, so the right shingle is the one that reduces how often you write a check.
- Metal Roofing — Metal is often the right buy in Harrison County, and the reason is unromantic. It removes precisely the failure modes that generate small self-funded repairs here, which is where a coastal homeowner's roofing money actually goes over twenty years.
- Tile Roofing — Tile is uncommon in Gulfport, and we will argue against installing new tile on most houses here before we tell you how we service the tile that already exists. The reason is repair economics rather than performance.
- Flat & Low-Slope Roofing — Low-slope sections are where self-funded losses concentrate on a Gulfport house. Porch roofs, additions, carport tie-ins and the flat behind a parapet fail long before the steep field above them, and every one of those failures is small enough to be entirely your expense.
