Do you repair slate roofs in Midtown?

Yes. We replace broken slates, repair flashing and match the existing material wherever we can.

Does roof work in Central Gardens need approval?

Visible changes in a historic district can need review. We check what applies to your address before work starts.

Can a Midtown roof keep its original chimneys?

Yes. We repair and reflash chimneys rather than remove them, which is usually what district guidelines expect as well.

Why does my older Midtown roof leak around the dormers?

Dormers add several flashing joints, and older flashing often fails there first. We trace the leak and replace what failed.

Do you replace roofs on older Midtown homes?

Yes, when repair no longer makes sense. We check the decking and match the look the house calls for.

Midtown, Memphis

Roofing for Midtown's older homes and historic districts

Midtown holds many of the city's oldest neighborhoods, and its roofs show it: steep pitches, dormers, chimneys and in places slate or tile. Several areas are historic districts, so visible roof work can need review.

Roofing across Midtown

Quick answer

We take roofing calls from across Midtown Memphis, including homes in its historic districts. Visits start with an inspection and photos. We repair leaks, flashing and chimneys, repair slate and tile, and replace worn roofs, checking district rules before any visible change. Call any hour.

Midtown homes from the early 1900s through the 1920s often have steep roofs, several chimneys and complex flashing around dormers and porches. Many have been reroofed more than once, and earlier repairs vary in quality.

We inspect carefully and photograph everything, because matching existing materials and details matters more here than almost anywhere else in the city.

Local context

Historic districts in Midtown

Central Gardens was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, and in 1992 the Memphis City Council designated it a Historic Conservation District with its own design guidelines. Nearby Vollintine-Evergreen is a 1920s-era neighborhood with many homes on the National Register. For roof work, that means visible changes can need review, and repairs should respect the original materials.

What roofs here go through

What Midtown roofs go through

Slate and tile last a long time, but broken pieces, failed flashing and rusted fasteners let water in. Repairing them with matching material keeps the roof sound without a full replacement.

Chimneys, dormers and porch roofs bring many flashing joints to a single older roof, and those joints account for most of the leaks we trace in Midtown.
