Gulfport

A small waterfront city with older houses

Gulfport was incorporated on October 12, 1910, and borders St. Petersburg, South Pasadena and Boca Ciega Bay. Its waterfront includes the Gulfport Casino Ballroom, built in 1930, Williams Pier and a city marina next to Clam Bayou Nature Park.

The Census Bureau reports a median construction year of 1963 for Gulfport, and eight in ten of its roughly 7,950 housing units date from 1979 or earlier. About three quarters of homes are owner-occupied. These are decades-old cottages and block houses, many on their second or third roof.

The bay brings storm surge as well as wind. Hurricane Helene pushed surge of up to eight feet through downtown and nearby streets in September 2024. Surge floods the ground floor, but it also leaves owners looking hard at everything above, including the roof and the soffits.

Local advantage

Why Gulfport homeowners call us

Bayside corrosion in mind

Near the water we specify fasteners and metals rated for salt air, which hold up better than the standard hardware.

Older decks inspected first

With homes from the early 1960s common, we check the decking and tell you what needs replacing before the new roof goes on.

Permits through the city

We prepare the roofing permit for the City of Gulfport and book the inspections.

Roofs by the bay

Moisture is the daily condition of a roof next to Boca Ciega Bay. Humid air keeps shingles damp in the morning, tree cover limits drying, and salt in the air attacks metal.

  • Stainless or coated fasteners and flashing on bayfront blocks.
  • Metal roofing is a good fit for small cottages when marine-grade panels are chosen.
  • Gutters sized for summer downpours, with downspouts discharging away from walls.
  • Soffit and fascia checks, since rot there often shows before it shows on the roof.

Questions

Gulfport roofing questions, answered

Do you roof homes near Boca Ciega Bay?

Yes. Bayfront homes need corrosion-resistant fasteners and flashing, and we specify them for roofs near the water. We also check the deck for moisture damage.

After flooding, should the roof be checked?

Storm surge affects the lower floors, but wind and rain from the same storm can damage the roof. A post-storm inspection of the roof, soffits and gutters is worth doing, and we offer one free.

Which roof types are common in Gulfport?

Asphalt shingle covers most of the older homes here, with some tile and metal. A cottage-style house can look right under either shingle or metal, so we show you both and explain how each performs near the bay.

Do you pull permits in Gulfport?

Yes. We prepare the roofing permit under our state license numbers, file it with the city, and schedule each inspection, so you do not have to visit the building department yourself.
