Home Repair and Remodeling help in Moss Point
Moss Point is 20.4 road miles from our Ocean Springs base, about 30 minutes, in the same county and on the same run east as Pascagoula. All Types Remodeling and Repair can reach it for carpentry and rotten wood repair, sheetrock and drywall repair, and interior and exterior painting.
One thing about Moss Point catches contractors out. The city does not operate its own building department. Building permits are handled through the Jackson County Building Department, while zoning questions specific to Moss Point, including variance requests, conditional use permits and rezoning applications, stay with City Hall on McInnis Avenue under Chapter 42 of the city code, adopted 7 December 2021. That is two different phone calls on one job.
The county department that issues those permits sits at 2915 Canty Street in Pascagoula, works from the 2018 International Building Code, and takes residential work on its Application A Residential Building Permit form. So Moss Point paperwork physically travels to Pascagoula and the inspection standard is the county's adopted code edition, not a city amendment. Knowing that before a job starts saves a homeowner a wasted trip to the wrong counter.
The housing itself is the oldest around here. Moss Point's median year built is 1968, with 4,688 of its 5,865 units, 79.9 percent, built before 1980 and only 130 units, 2.2 percent, since 2010, per the ACS 2020-2024 5-year survey.
Four houses in five predate 1980, so original wood siding, soffit and fascia are all at or past the end of their service life together. Opening a run of trim on a house of that vintage usually reveals an older patch underneath, so we write the estimate to cover finding one.
