Memphis Premium Roofing provides professional gutters & downspouts in Memphis, TN for residential and commercial properties across the Mid-South. A gutter does not hang on your house. It hangs on the fascia, and on the brick houses filling Midtown and East Memphis that fascia is a board on a plate above masonry. What the hanger reaches decides how long the run stays straight.
That is why we look at the substrate before we quote the gutter. A hidden hanger screwed into a solid rafter tail every two feet will hold a full six-inch run of water and ice for decades. The same hanger driven into a soft fascia board, or into the shim stack that somebody used to level a run over a brick wall, will pull loose in the third year and take the fascia with it.
Where a run terminates against masonry, the detail changes again. Downspout straps fastened into brick face rather than into mortar joints crack the units and start a wicking path into the wall. We anchor into joints, we use appropriate masonry fasteners, and on historic brick we say so before we drill anything. We check the substrate with a screwdriver rather than by eye.
Sizing is arithmetic and we treat it that way. The drainage area feeding each downspout sets the outlet size, not what happened to be on the house before. Six-inch K-style with three-by-four outlets handles a large steep plane that five-inch with two-by-three simply cannot, and the symptom of getting it wrong is water sheeting over the front edge in every hard Memphis rain. Guards are a separate conversation, except that no guard fixes a run sized too small.
Discharge is the part everyone skips and everyone pays for. A downspout that empties at the foundation is a foundation problem with a gutter attached. Extensions, buried drains to daylight, or splash blocks set on a real slope, and a plan for where that water goes once it leaves the building. Water dumped at a Memphis foundation does not evaporate, it travels under the slab.
Materials are straightforward. On-site rolled .032 aluminum for most of the city, half-round with round downspouts where a Victorian Village or Central Gardens house deserves the correct profile, and copper where the building and the budget justify it. What we do not do is bury a rotten fascia behind new coil and call the gutter installed.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — two 3/16-inch by 1-inch chimney anchor straps at the roof line, twelve-inch strap embedment into a masonry chimney, roof-deck subdiaphragm crossties in the perimeter bays, parapet height-to-thickness bracing ratio, wall anchors at six-foot maximum spacing, out-of-plane wall anchorage at 42 pounds per square foot — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Memphis and nearby communities including Bartlett, Collierville, Germantown, Millington.

Materials, equipment and how we do gutters & downspouts
The difference between gutters & downspouts that lasts and gutters & downspouts that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with two 3/16-inch by 1-inch chimney anchor straps at the roof line, twelve-inch strap embedment into a masonry chimney, roof-deck subdiaphragm crossties in the perimeter bays, parapet height-to-thickness bracing ratio, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Memphis job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Mid-South means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Memphis Chooses Memphis Premium Roofing
- ✓Every proposal states the new covering's dead load in pounds per square foot next to the load of whatever comes off, because Shelby County is a Seismic Design Category D jurisdiction and weight is not a decorative question here.
- ✓Our inspection report includes the chimney's anchorage at the roof line, the parapet's unbraced height and the deck fastening where it meets masonry, three findings that are almost never on a Memphis roof report.
- ✓We tear off rather than overlay, because a tear-off is the only hour in which the chimney straps, the deck fastening and the top of the wall are all visible at the same time.
- ✓We turn down tile on existing stick-framed houses unless a Tennessee-licensed structural engineer has written down what the framing can carry, and we will help you find that engineer.
