Memphis Premium Roofing provides professional wind damage roofing in Memphis, TN for residential and commercial properties across the Mid-South. Here 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. The jurisdiction ranked its own hazards, in writing.
That has a practical consequence. There is no code-mandated wind retrofit trigger for an existing building in Memphis. Nobody is going to require you to upgrade your roof edge because you opened a permit. Which means every wind improvement on an existing Memphis roof is voluntary, and it has to justify itself on consequence and cost rather than on a code officer's signature.
So we scope wind work by what actually fails. In this housing stock that is the perimeter, nearly every time. The first course at the eave, the rake edge, and the ridge take the pressure, and they are the three places where a fast crew saves twenty minutes. A field shingle rarely leaves a Memphis roof on its own. It goes because the course below it or the metal beside it went first.
There is one place where our two hazards meet, and it is worth understanding. The connection that holds a wall to a roof deck resists uplift and resists lateral load, and it is the same connection. On a low-slope masonry building the anchors that the seismic appendix cares about are the anchors that keep the roof on in a straight-line wind. Improving one improves the other, which is the rare upgrade that pays twice.
Wind losses here are usually partial and we quote them that way. One slope creased, a ridge gone, a section of rake metal peeled. Replacing four slopes because one failed is a fine way to sell a roof and a poor way to advise an owner, and the shingle-matching problem on a partial is solvable more often than contractors admit.
What we put in the proposal is the fastening, because that is the variable. Nails per shingle in the manufacturer's high-wind pattern, where the starter course sits, and how the rake metal is fastened and lapped. Those three lines are the difference between a roof rated for a number and a roof that earns it. We put all three on every wind proposal we write.
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 wind damage roofing
The difference between wind damage roofing that lasts and wind damage 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.

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
