Roof repair and replacement for East Memphis homes, mid-century to modern

Roofing across East Memphis
Quick answer
We take roofing calls from across East Memphis, from the mid-century streets near Poplar Avenue to newer neighborhoods further east. Visits start with an inspection and photos. We repair leaks and storm damage, handle low-slope and flat sections, and replace roofs that have worn out. Call any hour.
East Memphis grew outward through the middle of the last century, so many of its homes are ranches and split-levels from the 1950s and 1960s, often under mature trees, with newer homes further east. Mid-century designs here sometimes include flat or low-slope sections over carports, porches and additions.
Every visit starts the same way: a walk of each slope, a look at the low-slope sections and flashing, and photos you keep. We tell you plainly when a repair will hold and when the roof is done.
Local context
Mid-century homes and owners
East Memphis includes notable mid-century modern homes, among them a 1949 Art Deco and International Style house with a steel frame and a flat third-floor roof. It is also one of the more owner-occupied parts of the city: about 54.6 percent of East Memphis households own their homes, compared with roughly 44 percent across Memphis as a whole. Owners who plan to stay tend to ask for repairs that last, which is how we scope every job here.
What roofs here go through
What East Memphis roofs go through
Flat and low-slope sections on mid-century homes hold water longer than pitched roofs, so their membranes, edges and drains need checking more often than the shingles beside them.
Mature trees shade many East Memphis streets, which keeps slopes damp, feeds algae and drops limbs in storms. Clear valleys and trimmed branches prevent many of the leaks we see here.
