Memphis Roof Coatings & Sealing — Residential & Commercial

Memphis Premium Roofing provides professional roof coatings & sealing in Memphis, TN for residential and commercial properties across the Mid-South. A coating is the lightest way to buy years on a low-slope roof. It is also the way that leaves everything underneath it unexamined. On a Memphis masonry building that trade is worth thinking about rather than defaulting to the cheaper number.

Take the case for coating first, because it is often the right call. If the deck is sound, the insulation is dry and the perimeter is intact, a silicone or acrylic system restores the surface at a fraction of tear-off cost, adds only a few pounds per square, and does it without disturbing a single fastener in the deck. On a building where the wall anchorage is documented and fine, that is a clean, low-risk purchase.

Now the case against it. A tear-off is the only time anyone will see how the deck is fastened where it meets the walls, whether the parapet is tied back, or what condition the top of the masonry is in. Coating over the top means nobody looks for another ten or fifteen years. On an older brick building that has never been opened, that is a genuine reason to spend more.

We decide it with a knife rather than a preference. Core cuts through the assembly at the low points and the perimeter, a moisture scan across the field, and an adhesion test on the existing surface. Wet insulation cannot be coated, it can only be buried, and a coating over saturated board adds weight to the exact roof that could least afford it.

The specification is written in mils and standards, not in years. A silicone system carried to a stated dry film thickness, reinforced at seams, penetrations and the parapet base with fabric, over a cleaned and primed surface. Ponding-tolerant chemistry where water will sit, because most Memphis low-slope roofs have at least one corner that never fully drains. Reflectivity also drops the summer surface temperature, which is worth real money on a Memphis August roof.

What we will not coat is a roof that needs a decision. Two failing layers, a wet deck, a parapet nobody has looked at, or an owner hoping that a bright white surface will postpone a replacement that is already overdue. In those cases a coating is not a repair, it is a way of paying twice.

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.

What We Handle

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.
