How Much Does Roof Replacement Cost in Gulfport?
Asphalt-shingle replacement in Gulfport, Mississippi runs $5,530 to $12,245 (2,000 sq ft, tear-off and underlayment included). That is the national base range scaled by Gulfport's labor-and-materials index of 0.79× — 21% below what the same job costs nationally, in a county NOAA credits with 29 hail events over the last 10 years.
Gulfport is Mississippi's second-largest city with a 2020 census population of 72,926. The top employers are Memorial Hospital at 4,953 employees, Naval Construction Battalion Center at 4,876 employees, and Gulfport School District at 2,724 employees. Post-Katrina rebuilding created a large wave of relatively young roofing stock now approaching the 15-20 year replacement window. Military, healthcare, and port commerce provide a stable employment base that supports steady residential and commercial re-roofing demand from homeowners and facility managers alike.

NOAA Storm Events data shows 29 hail events in Gulfport's county over the last 10 years, with hail up to 2.00″ (most recent on record: 2024-04-10). Stones that size punch through shingles rather than bruise them.
