Memphis Premium Roofing provides professional roof repair in Memphis, TN for residential and commercial properties across the Mid-South. Most Memphis repair calls get quoted on the covering and decided by the board underneath it. A nail holds only if the wood it enters holds, and in this climate the wood is the part that quietly stops holding.
Mid-South summers run hot and wet, and an attic that cannot breathe sits at high humidity for months on end. Sheathing kept warm and damp for years loses its grip on a fastener long before it looks rotten, and the plank decking on older houses has gaps no modern nail pattern was drawn for.
You learn this by standing on it. A plane that gives between the rafters, a nail that drives and keeps going, a shingle that lifts and brings its nail out with it. Each one says the repair in front of you is a sheathing job wearing a covering job's price, and we would rather find that from the ladder than halfway through.
That is also the line where permitting changes character. Replacing covering is covering work. Replacing decking is structural, and once boards come off the job is read differently by code enforcement. We raise that before anything is pried up, and a bid that is silent on decking is a bid from somebody who never went up there.
Ventilation is why this is a Memphis problem rather than a general one. A roof assembly that cannot move air carries the summer's moisture into the sheathing and keeps it there, and the same intake blocked by insulation forty years ago is still blocked. Repairing covering above a deck that is being wet from inside is work with a clock on it.
Where the deck is sound, the reasoning is short. A confined area of damage, one covering rather than two, and enough life left for a new fastener to seat properly. We will do that work, it will hold, and the only thing we ask is to look at the attic ventilation while we are up there, because the humidity that took the first boards is still in the building.
Where the deck is going on more than one plane, a repair is money spent on wood that is still failing. Tennessee issues a contractor license with classifications rather than a roofing license, so what you can genuinely check is the license, its classification and its monetary limit, and ours is held with the state board. Where a roof is finished we quote the entire thing instead of selling the patch.
Our 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 roof repair
The difference between roof repair that lasts and roof repair 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.
