Roof inspection starts with the problem found and photographed, then the scope and price in writing before any work starts.
Roofers Hotline is a roofing company for roof inspection in Jackson and 2 towns across Hinds, Rankin and Madison counties, on one phone number, (855) 512-1072. Someone answers at any hour, and the estimate is written down before any work begins.
This area is in the very high band for storm inspection, with 118 hail reports within 15 km of the city center since 2000.
Each slope is checked for lifted, cracked or missing shingles and for impact marks. This matters here, where Storm Prediction Center records show 118 hail reports within 15 km since 2000. Hail marks can be small and scattered across a slope. Call to schedule a full survey of your roof.
Flashing around chimneys and vents, plus valleys and the ridge, are where leaks tend to start. The metro gets 51.3 inches of precipitation a year in the 1991 to 2020 climate normals, so small gaps get tested often. You get anything found noted in your report. Call to have these checked.
From inside the attic, the inspector looks for damp decking, poor airflow and light coming through the roof. The metro averages 83.1 days a year at 90 F or higher, so trapped attic heat wears shingles from below. Photos go in the written report. Call to include the attic in your visit.
Gutters and downspouts are checked for clogs, sagging and water pooling near the house. Heavy storms are common here, with 8 damaging thunderstorm wind events in the county record since 2015, and debris and loosened gutters often follow. Any problems are listed in your report. Call to add a gutter check.

Roofers Hotline books roof inspections in Jackson, and one call gets a written estimate before any work starts. The storm record is the reason to make it. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 118 hail reports within 15 km of the metro from 2000 to 2024, which puts the city in the Very High band among the towns Roofers Hotline serves. Hinds County saw 49 tornadoes in NOAA's storm records since 2015, so wind damage is a live concern as well. A roof can look fine from the street and still have lifted shingles or cracked flashing. Call Roofers Hotline, 24 hours a day, and ask for a roof inspection.
Jackson's houses are older than most, and that changes what an inspector looks for. By Census estimates for 2019 to 2023, 73% of homes here were built before 1980, and the median home dates to 1969. Roofs on houses that age often sit over older decking and original flashing. The climate adds wear: the 1991 to 2020 climate normals at the metro Hawkins Field station show 51.3 inches of precipitation a year and 83.1 days at 90 F or higher. Heat and heavy rain test every seam. Your written estimate covers what the inspector finds and what each repair would involve. Call to book the visit.

Some reasons to call are about timing: you are buying or selling a home, a solar install is coming, or the roof is older than 15 years and has had no recent check. Others follow the weather. Jackson's hail record includes stones up to 2.75 inches in NOAA's county data since 2015, and two-inch hail was last reported nearby on March 26, 2023. After any hail or wind event, photograph the roof from the ground and look at the yard for shingle pieces. Do not climb up to check. Call and book the inspection.

Why call
Book before spring. In the Storm Prediction Center's hail reports within 25 km of Jackson, 94% fall between January and August, and April is the busiest month with 85 reports. An inspection in late winter finds loose flashing and worn shingles before that season starts, and a visit right after a storm shows what the hail did. You get a surface walk or drone survey, an attic check, and a written report with photos and a repair-or-replace opinion. The written estimate comes before any work starts. Call 24 hours a day to pick a date.
Homeowners outside this metro center can open roofing coverage in Pearl, about 4 miles out, for the same service and the same written estimate.
Mississippi licensing: Mississippi requires a State Board of Contractors residential builder license for residential work above a state cost threshold. Look up any license at Mississippi MSBOC.
