What we write about, and why

Every post here answers a question Memphis property owners actually ask before they hire anyone — what work costs, which materials are worth the upcharge, how long a job really takes, and the shortcuts that look fine for two years and then do not.

The writing comes from the same people doing the work in Memphis, TN and the Mid-South, which is why the numbers are specific and the advice sometimes tells you not to spend money.

  • Roof Replacement in MemphisA replacement is the only moment you get to change what your roof weighs. In a county the building code treats as Seismic Design Category D, that number belongs on the proposal.
  • Roof Leak Repair in MemphisMost leaks we chase in Memphis end at masonry. A chimney, a parapet, a brick wall a roof dies into.
  • Storm Damage Restoration in MemphisMemphis loses roofs to wind and hail, not to earthquakes. We lead with that because the rest of this site argues about anchorage and dead load, and it would be dishonest to let that reasoning drift onto a page where it does not belong.
  • Hail Damage Roofing in MemphisThe standard answer to hail is a Class 4 impact shingle. It is also a heavier shingle than the one it replaces, and on a Memphis house that is a trade-off worth saying out loud rather than burying in a product brochure.
  • Wind Damage Roofing in MemphisHere is a fact about Shelby County that almost nobody selling roofs in Memphis will mention. When the city and county adopted the existing building code, they specifically adopted its seismic retrofit appendix and specifically declined its wind retrofit appendix.
