To combine quality and value in your roofing project, keep the following tips in mind:
Get several estimates. Ask for references. Get addresses for completed projects then drive by and inspect the work. Make sure shingles are straight, aligned, and trimmed cleanly and neatly. Not confident about evaluating the project yourself? Recruit a friend who has been through a roofing project. Verify references. Find out if the homeowner would hire the roofer again. Find out if they have any problems with quality of the work or in dealing with the roofer. Did he honor his estimate, pick up nails, and replace damaged plantings?
Before you sign an agreement, read the contract. Make sure that the warranty is for a period of at least one year and that it covers leaks, flashing failure, and any labor-related defects. Make sure the materials specified in the estimate are reflected in the contract. If you have questions or doubts, ask the roofer to clarify them. Negotiate to satisfy both of you. The complete scope of work should be detailed and provision for additional charges should be specified. Make sure the roofer is licensed and insured. Obtain copies of licensing and insurance.

Mississippi's generally hilly landscape reaches its highest point (806 ft/246 m) in the northeastern corner of the state along the Tennessee River. The most distinctive region in the state's varied topography is the Mississippi Delta, a flat alluvial plain between the Mississippi and the Yazoo rivers in the western part of the state. A wide belt of longleaf yellow pine (the piney woods) covers most of southern Mississippi to within a few miles of the coastal-plain grasslands. Important there are lumbering and allied industries. Most of the state's rivers belong to either the Mississippi or the Alabama river systems, with the Pontoctoc Ridge the divide. The climate of Mississippi is subtropical in the southern part of the state and temperate in the northern part; the average annual rainfall is more than 50 in. (127 cm).
