Metal Roofing Contractor in Memphis, TN
Homeowners searching for a metal roofing contractor near me in Memphis need a crew that understands the local housing stock, not a call center reading a script. Memphis Metal Roofing is a network of licensed, bonded, and insured local contractors who install, replace, re-roof, and repair metal roofing across Memphis and the surrounding areas. We work on the steep gables and dormers of Central Gardens, the low porch roofs of Midtown bungalows, the brick ranches of Whitehaven and Raleigh, and the newer subdivisions out in Germantown, Bartlett, Collierville, and Cordova. That range matters: a 1920s foursquare and a 2015 colonial fail in different ways.
Our core work is metal roof installation, full replacement, retrofit over existing shingles, and repair. Around Arlington, Millington, and Munford we also handle barns, shops, and outbuildings. The Mid-South climate is hard on roofs: humid summers bake sealants, spring storms drive wind and hail, and tall oaks and sweetgums drop limbs and leaves year after year. We also see a large stock of aging screw-down roofs whose fasteners are backing out. If you want straight guidance on what your roof actually needs, start with a free estimate.
Metal Roof Repair, Leaks & Screw Replacement in Memphis
Most metal roof leaks in Memphis trace back to a handful of causes, and the number one cause on 15 to 30 year old exposed-fastener roofs is fasteners backing out. The EPDM sealing washer under each screw dries, shrinks, and cracks in our summer heat, and once that washer fails, water walks right down the hole. Seam separation is the second common failure: panels expand and contract with temperature swings, and over time that thermal movement can open a seam. Failed pipe boots and flashing at chimneys, skylights, and valleys are next, followed by wind-lifted panels after a straight-line wind event and punctures from fallen limbs.
What makes these problems worth fixing early is how far water travels. It rarely drips straight down. It tracks along purlins and decking and shows up inside the house feet from the actual entry point, which is why a small leak can mean rotted sheathing and saturated insulation before you ever see a stain on the ceiling. Ignoring a failed fastener or an open seam invites exactly that kind of hidden damage.
The honest call between repair and replacement depends on the roof. If the panels are sound and the problem is fasteners and flashing, a full screw replacement with new sealing washers often restores a watertight roof for a fraction of replacement cost. If panels are corroded through or the deck is soft, replacement is the better money. We will tell you which one you are looking at.

Metal Roofing Systems We Install in Memphis
We install the full range of metal systems, and the right one depends on the house, the budget, and how much maintenance you want to sign up for. Standing Seam Metal Roofing is the premium choice: concealed clips, no exposed screws, and a clean look that suits everything from Central Gardens Tudors to East Memphis colonials. Corrugated & Ribbed Panel Roofing is the economical workhorse for cabins, barns, carports, and workshops. We also install Metal Shingle Roofing, Stone-Coated Steel Roofing in shake and slate profiles, and Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing for bay windows and entries.
The honest comparison is simple. Standing seam costs more up front and has no exposed screws to maintain. Screw-down costs less and needs its fasteners serviced over its life. Both are legitimate choices. On retrofit, Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit) can be a sound option when the deck is solid, and a full tear-off is the right call when it is not. We will check the deck before recommending either.
How Much Does a Metal Roof Cost in Memphis?
Metal roof pricing in Memphis is usually quoted per square foot for installations, while repairs are often flat-rate. What moves the number: the panel system and metal gauge, roof pitch and complexity (dormers, valleys, and turrets add labor), tear-off versus recover, decking condition, and access. We quote typical ranges rather than fixed prices because final pricing depends on the roof and site conditions. Some carriers may offer premium discounts for metal or impact-rated roofs, but that is between you and your insurer. For a closer look at how we structure numbers, see our pricing page.
The fastest way to a real number is a free estimate or a free roof inspection. We will tell you plainly whether a repair, a coating, or a replacement is the right spend for your roof.
Storm Damage, Insurance Claims & Permits in Memphis
On storm damage and insurance: we inspect the roof and provide written documentation with photos that you may submit to your own insurer. We are not an insurance adjuster or agent, coverage decisions rest with your carrier, and we make no promise that a claim will be approved. We simply give you an accurate record of what we found. For that documentation, reach out through our contact page.
On permits: in most jurisdictions, a permit is commonly required for a full replacement or re-roof, but requirements vary by city, and thresholds, fees, and inspection requirements differ. Historic district or HOA design review can also affect panel profile and color choices. Requirements vary, always verify with the Memphis building or planning department before starting your project.
