Memphis Premium Roofing provides professional metal roofing in Memphis, TN for residential and commercial properties across the Mid-South. Somebody will eventually tell you that a standing seam roof is an earthquake upgrade because metal is light. It is not. Trading a two-pound covering for a one-and-a-half-pound covering changes a building's seismic weight by a rounding error, and we would rather say that than sell on it.
What metal is genuinely good for in Memphis is different and more useful. It sheds water at pitches where shingles cannot go, it does not lose granules, it takes a hailstone as a dent rather than a fracture, and a concealed-fastener panel has no exposed rubber washers to fail in the sun. On the right slope it is the last roof the building needs. It is a fifty-year covering on a house that will outlive it.
The specification that matters is the attachment. Twenty-four gauge steel over twenty-six, a concealed clip system rather than screws driven through the face of the panel, a PVDF finish rather than a polyester, and clips spaced for the panel's tested uplift rating. Panel width matters too, since a narrower pan oil-cans less and costs more. Exposed-fastener panels belong on barns and outbuildings, where their maintenance cycle is acceptable.
Where metal earns its price on a Memphis house is usually not the main roof. It is the rear addition, the porch, the dormer cheek or the low-slope tie-in behind a chimney, where an ordinary shingle sits below its minimum pitch and has been leaking since the day it went on. A standing seam section on that plane, tied properly into the shingle field above, solves a problem shingles cannot.
The honest downside is cost and appearance. Metal runs well above a laminated shingle installed, oil canning in flat pans is a normal characteristic of the product rather than a defect, and a full metal roof on a traditional brick Memphis house will look like a decision rather than a repair. Neither of those is a defect. Both are worth knowing before the trucks arrive. Some owners want that look and some do not.
If your reason for asking about metal is durability, we will price it and stand behind it. If your reason is that you were told it makes the house safer in an earthquake, spend the money on the chimney instead. That is where the actual hazard is on almost every house we look at.
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 metal roofing
The difference between metal roofing that lasts and metal roofing 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.
The standards behind metal roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The metal roofing work we do in Memphis follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every metal roofing project in Memphis gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
