From small beginnings…
Will Purvis spent hot Mississippi summers in high school on a roof with his stepdad learning the craft of installing shingle and metal roofing. Nearly fifteen years later, he knew he could take the small one-man operation and turn it into something that could change the lives of his family and his community…
In 2016, Sanders and Sanders Roofing would open in Clinton, MS and become officially licensed with the Mississippi State Board of Contractors and a legacy would be created.
Expansion Meets Community
In 2019, Will saw an opportunity to expand from the original location in Central Mississippi and opened the second location of Sanders and Sanders Roofing in Gulfport on the Gulf Coast.
When Hurricane Zeta surprised the Gulf Coast in October of 2020, Sanders and Sanders Roofing would stand out as an honest, local company in sea of pop-up roofing companies looking to make a buck.
We are proud to still maintain a reputation that allows for over 40% of our business monthly to come from previous customers referrals.
