Memphis sits in a humid subtropical climate zone where roofs endure extreme conditions year-round. Summer heat regularly exceeds 90 degrees, causing asphalt shingles to expand and contract. High humidity levels accelerate algae and moss growth, particularly on north-facing slopes. Winter brings freeze-thaw cycles that crack flashing and lift shingles, creating entry points for water damage.
The Mississippi River's proximity creates additional moisture challenges for roofs in downtown Memphis, Harbor Town, and areas near Mud Island. Spring storms dump heavy rainfall and produce severe thunderstorms with damaging winds and hail. Neighborhoods like Midtown and Cooper-Young feature older homes with steep roof pitches and complex valleys that require specialized repair techniques.
Local building codes require specific wind ratings for shingles due to our storm exposure. Clay soil throughout Shelby County shifts seasonally, causing foundation movement that stresses roof structures. These conditions demand roofing contractors who understand Memphis-specific challenges and use materials engineered for our climate. A roof system that works in Phoenix fails here within years.
Evergreen Roofing Memphis built its reputation by showing up when we say we will and doing exactly what we promise. We work exclusively in the greater Memphis area, which means we understand the specific roofing challenges your home faces. We know how summer heat affects different shingle types, which underlayment systems handle our humidity, and how to properly flash the complex roof designs common in established Memphis neighborhoods.
Our crews consist of trained roofing specialists who follow manufacturer installation protocols to the letter. This protects your warranty and ensures your roof performs as designed. We pull permits for every job that requires them and schedule inspections properly. When insurance claims are involved, we document damage thoroughly and communicate directly with adjusters to streamline the process.
We stock quality materials from manufacturers who stand behind their products. Our suppliers maintain local warehouses, which means faster project starts and no delays waiting for materials to ship. We offer realistic timelines based on actual project scope, not optimistic guesses designed to win bids. If weather delays work, we communicate immediately and reschedule efficiently.
Most roofing companies in Memphis chase volume. We focus on quality. Every roof we install or repair receives the same attention to detail, whether it's a simple patch job or a complete tear-off and replacement. We protect your property during work, clean up thoroughly, and walk the completed project with you to ensure you're satisfied. Our goal is referrals from satisfied customers, not quick jobs that generate callbacks.
We select roofing materials and installation methods specifically for Memphis humidity, heat, and storm exposure. Our crews understand how seasonal temperature swings affect different roofing systems and adjust installation techniques accordingly. This expertise extends roof lifespan and prevents premature failures common with generic approaches.
We maintain proper licensing, liability insurance, and workers compensation coverage for every crew member. This protects you from liability if accidents occur during roofing work. We provide proof of insurance before starting any project and ensure all permits are pulled and inspections completed according to Memphis building codes.
Our roofing specialists complete ongoing training with major shingle manufacturers. This certification ensures we install products according to specifications required for warranty coverage. Improper installation voids manufacturer warranties. Our certified approach protects your investment and gives you recourse if material defects occur years after installation.
We operate exclusively in the Memphis metro area, which means faster response times when storms damage your roof. Our crews live in the communities we serve. We understand neighborhood layouts, know how to navigate efficiently, and can schedule emergency tarping within hours when severe weather strikes.
Evergreen Roofing Memphis handles every aspect of residential and commercial roofing. Whether you need emergency leak repair after a storm, a complete roof replacement on an aging home, or preventive maintenance to extend your roof's lifespan, our crews have the experience and equipment to complete the work properly.
We work with asphalt shingles, metal roofing systems, flat commercial roofs, and specialty materials. Our service range includes insurance claim assistance, where we document damage, meet with adjusters, and ensure you receive fair compensation for covered repairs. We also provide roof inspections for home buyers who want to understand a roof's condition before closing.
Our project management system keeps you informed throughout the process. You'll know when materials are ordered, when crews will arrive, and what to expect each day of the project. We organize our services around the three most common needs Memphis property owners face when dealing with roofing issues.
Memphis storms create roofing emergencies that require immediate attention. Wind tears off shingles, hail punches holes in roofing materials, and heavy rain finds any weakness in flashing or underlayment. Our emergency response team provides temporary tarping to stop water intrusion, then schedules permanent repairs quickly. We assess damage thoroughly, document everything for insurance claims, and prioritize repairs that prevent secondary water damage to your home's interior and structure.
When your roof reaches the end of its service life, proper replacement requires complete tear-off, deck inspection, and installation of a new roofing system built for Memphis weather. We remove old shingles down to the deck, inspect and repair structural damage, install high-quality underlayment, and apply new shingles following manufacturer specifications. Our replacement projects include proper ventilation upgrades, new flashing around chimneys and vents, and thorough cleanup. We help you select materials that match your home's style and budget.
Regular maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive repairs. Our maintenance programs include annual inspections, gutter cleaning, minor patching, and proactive replacement of worn flashing or damaged shingles. Memphis humidity promotes algae growth that degrades shingles over time. We provide treatments that inhibit growth and preserve your roof's appearance and function. Scheduled maintenance is especially valuable for commercial properties where roof leaks disrupt business operations.
Memphis roofs fail for predictable reasons tied to our climate and the age of our housing stock. Understanding these common problems helps property owners recognize warning signs early, when repairs cost less and prevent secondary damage. Many neighborhoods in Memphis feature homes built between the 1950s and 1980s that are reaching the end of their original roof lifespan. Combined with our harsh weather, these factors create specific challenges.
Storm damage is the most obvious problem, but chronic issues like poor ventilation, improper flashing installation, and inadequate attic insulation cause slow deterioration that weakens roofs over years. These problems are fixable, but they require experienced roofing contractors who understand the root causes, not just the visible symptoms.
Memphis sits in a region that experiences frequent severe thunderstorms capable of producing damaging winds and hail. Wind lifts shingles, tears off flashing, and can remove entire sections of roofing. Hail creates impact damage that compromises shingle integrity. Even minor hail strikes accelerate aging. Many homeowners don't realize their roof sustained damage until leaks appear months later.
Flashing around chimneys, vent pipes, and skylights is the most common leak source in Memphis roofs. Temperature extremes cause metal flashing to expand and contract, breaking sealant bonds. Poor initial installation during new construction leaves gaps that allow water entry. Once water penetrates, it rots deck boards and damages interior ceilings. Proper flashing repair requires removing shingles and installing new waterproof barriers.
Memphis humidity creates ideal conditions for algae and moss to colonize roof surfaces. Black streaks are typically algae feeding on limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Moss retains moisture against shingles, accelerating deterioration. North-facing slopes and shaded areas develop growth first. Beyond appearance problems, these organisms degrade shingle composition and shorten roof lifespan significantly if left untreated.
Many older Memphis homes have insufficient attic ventilation for modern roofing systems. Hot air trapped in attics during summer bakes shingles from below, causing them to curl and crack prematurely. In winter, warm moist air from living spaces condenses in cold attics, creating moisture problems. Proper ventilation requires balanced intake and exhaust. We evaluate ventilation during inspections and recommend upgrades that protect your investment.
We believe roofing projects should be straightforward and stress-free. Most homeowners feel anxious about roofing work because they've heard horror stories about contractors who disappear mid-project, damage property, or deliver poor quality. We structured our process to eliminate those concerns.
From your first phone call through final cleanup, you'll know exactly what's happening with your roofing project. We show up when scheduled, communicate proactively about any issues we discover, and treat your property with respect. Our goal is to complete quality work efficiently while causing minimal disruption to your daily routine. These three commitments guide every project we take on in Memphis.
We start every project with a thorough roof inspection. Our estimator examines your entire roof system, identifies all issues, and explains what needs repair or replacement. We don't recommend unnecessary work to inflate prices. You'll receive a detailed written estimate that breaks down labor, materials, and any additional costs like permit fees. We explain your options for different material grades and help you understand the cost-benefit tradeoffs. No surprises, no pressure tactics.
Our roofing crews arrive on time and work efficiently. Before starting, they walk the project with you to discuss access needs, protect landscaping, and answer questions. Throughout the project, we communicate daily about progress and timeline. If we discover unexpected damage that requires additional work, we stop and discuss options before proceeding. You'll have direct contact information for your project manager who responds quickly to calls and texts.
Roofing work generates debris. We protect your property with tarps, use magnetic sweepers to collect nails, and haul away all waste materials. Before leaving, crews walk your property to ensure nothing was missed. We conduct a final walkthrough with you to verify satisfaction and explain warranty coverage. You'll receive documentation including material warranties, installation certifications, and photos of completed work. We follow up after the project to address any concerns.
We designed our process to be efficient and transparent. You'll understand exactly what happens at each stage and when your roofing project will be complete.
Call (901) 669-7399 to schedule your free roof inspection. We'll send an experienced estimator to examine your roof, take measurements, and assess damage or wear. If you're filing an insurance claim, we document everything with photos and detailed notes. You'll receive a written estimate within 24 hours that explains all work needed and provides clear pricing. We answer all questions and help you understand your options before you commit.
Once you approve the estimate, we order materials and schedule your project. Our crews arrive on the scheduled date with all necessary equipment. We complete most residential roofing projects in one to three days depending on size and complexity. Throughout installation, we follow manufacturer specifications and building codes. We protect your property, work safely, and maintain a clean job site. Your project manager stays in contact to address any questions that arise.
After completing installation, we clean up thoroughly and conduct a final inspection. We walk the completed project with you to verify satisfaction and answer any remaining questions. You'll receive all warranty documentation, care instructions, and photos of the finished work. We explain what's covered under material and workmanship warranties. If you notice any issues after we leave, call us immediately. We stand behind our work and respond quickly to address concerns.
Professional roofing involves more than nailing shingles to a roof deck. Memphis building codes require specific installation standards designed for our wind exposure and climate conditions. Understanding these requirements helps property owners make informed decisions about roofing materials and contractors.
The City of Memphis and Shelby County enforce the International Building Code with local amendments. Roofing permits are required for most replacement projects and major repairs. Inspections verify proper underlayment installation, flashing details, and ventilation requirements. Contractors who skip permits expose homeowners to liability and potential issues when selling the property.
Wind ratings matter in Memphis. Shingles must meet specific wind resistance standards based on your location. Standard three-tab shingles offer basic protection, while architectural shingles provide better wind resistance and longer warranties. Metal roofing systems offer superior durability but cost more initially. The right choice depends on your budget, home style, and how long you plan to own the property.
Proper installation is more important than material brand. Even premium shingles fail prematurely when installers skip steps or use improper techniques. Manufacturer certifications verify that roofing contractors completed training on correct installation procedures. This training covers underlayment selection, starter strip placement, nail patterns, flashing details, and ventilation requirements. Certified installers protect your warranty and ensure your roof performs as designed.
Attic ventilation works as a system. Intake vents in soffits allow cool air to enter, while exhaust vents near the ridge allow hot air to escape. Balanced ventilation prevents moisture buildup and reduces cooling costs. Many older Memphis homes need ventilation upgrades when replacing roofs. We calculate proper ventilation based on attic square footage and recommend solutions that meet current building standards.
The City of Memphis requires permits for roof replacements and structural repairs. Inspections verify compliance with International Building Code standards for wind resistance, fire ratings, and proper installation. Contractors must be licensed and insured. Skipping permits creates liability issues and complications when selling your home. We handle all permit applications and schedule required inspections for every project.
Roofing costs depend on roof size, pitch steepness, material selection, and existing damage. Complex roof designs with multiple valleys and penetrations require more labor and materials. Removing multiple layers of old shingles adds disposal costs. Material quality varies significantly between economy and premium grades. We provide detailed estimates that break down all cost factors so you understand exactly what you're paying for.
Most residential roof replacements take one to three days depending on size and complexity. Emergency repairs can often be completed the same day. Weather delays are common in Memphis, especially during spring storm season. We schedule conservatively and communicate immediately if delays occur. Rushing roofing work to meet unrealistic timelines compromises quality. We prioritize doing the job right over doing it fast.
Quality shingle manufacturers offer material warranties ranging from 25 years to lifetime. These warranties only cover defects, not installation errors. Many manufacturers offer enhanced warranties when certified contractors install their products. These warranties may cover both materials and workmanship. We provide all warranty documentation and explain coverage limitations so you understand what's protected and what's not.
Evergreen Roofing Memphis proudly serves homeowners and businesses throughout the greater Memphis metropolitan area. Our service area covers all of Shelby County and extends into neighboring communities where Memphis residents live and work.
In Midtown Memphis, we work on the historic homes that define neighborhoods like Cooper-Young, Overton Square, and Central Gardens. These established areas feature unique architectural details and steep roof pitches that require experienced roofing specialists. The mature tree canopy in Midtown creates shade that promotes moss growth, requiring periodic treatments to protect shingle longevity.
East Memphis encompasses a large area from Poplar Avenue to the Cordova border, including Germantown and Collierville. This region features predominantly residential neighborhoods with homes built from the 1960s through today. Many properties in East Memphis are reaching the point where original roofs need replacement. We handle significant volume in subdivisions near Sheldon Oaks Park and along Walnut Grove Road.
Downtown Memphis and the Harbor Town development present unique challenges due to proximity to the Mississippi River. Higher humidity levels and exposure to river winds accelerate roof wear. We work with condo associations and property managers in these areas to maintain commercial and multi-family roofing systems that protect valuable real estate investments.
South Memphis and Whitehaven neighborhoods contain a mix of older homes and newer construction. Many properties in this area sustained storm damage during recent severe weather events. We work directly with insurance companies to help homeowners navigate claims and complete repairs properly. Our crews know these neighborhoods well and respond quickly when emergencies arise.
North Memphis and Frayser feature some of the city's oldest housing stock. These homes often need complete roof replacements rather than repairs. We help homeowners in these communities access financing options and work within budget constraints to deliver quality roofing that protects their homes for years to come. We also serve Bartlett, Lakeland, and Arlington in the northern suburbs where new residential development continues to expand.
