Memphis is a city of old trees and older roofs. From the low-gable bungalows of Midtown and Cooper-Young to the steep Tudor and Victorian rooflines in Central Gardens, the housing stock here dates back to the 1910s and 1930s, with mid-century brick ranches filling out Whitehaven, Raleigh, and Hickory Hill. The Mississippi River bluffs sit at about 260 feet, and the flat, wooded Mid-South terrain means tall oaks, pines, and magnolias constantly drop limbs and leaves onto shingles that were never designed for this kind of humidity and storm load.
Homeowners in ZIP 38114 and across Shelby County call Memphis Metal Roofing because we know what fails here: sealants bake and crack in the summer heat, spring straight-line winds lift panels, and heavy downpours find every flashing gap. We have replaced worn shingle roofs over brick ranches near Whitehaven Park and repaired standing seam after hail in East Memphis. If you are near the Memphis Zoo or just off Lamar Avenue, we have likely worked on your block.
Metal Roofing in Memphis (38114)
Roofing in Memphis is not just about the shingles. The ground here is flat and wooded, with tight lots in Midtown and Cooper-Young where mature oaks and crepe myrtles hang over porches and gutters fill fast. In Central Gardens and Victorian Village, steep roofs, dormers, and bay windows mean flashing details around chimneys and skylights need to be custom-formed, not pulled off a shelf. Out east in Germantown, Collierville, and Cordova, the 1980s to 2020s brick colonials and cul-de-sac subdivisions have architectural shingles that are now reaching the end of their life, and homeowners are switching to standing seam in charcoal or bronze to match the neighborhood look. Around Arlington, Millington, and Munford, we see exposed-fastener R-panel on barns and shops, and 5V crimp on older porches and cabins. The city sits on the Mississippi River bluffs, and the flat, wooded terrain means drainage relies on gutters and grading, not slope. Our team handles the full range: standing seam installs, metal roof replacement over worn shingle, leak repair after storms, and stone-coated steel in shake or slate profiles for homeowners who want the look of traditional materials with metal performance.
We have been serving Memphis and the surrounding areas long enough to know which neighborhoods need historic district review, which HOAs restrict panel profiles and colors, and which older homes have decking that needs repair before a new roof goes on. We pull permits as required and work with the local building department to make sure the job is done right.

How a Job Works in Memphis
Step 1: You call us at (901) 437-0104 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site assessment, usually within a few days, and walk the roof with you. We check for active leaks, failed fasteners, separated seams, and flashing gaps, and we look at the decking and attic ventilation. You get a written scope and a clear price before any work starts.
Step 2: Once you approve, we schedule the work. In Memphis, tight lot access in Midtown or Cooper-Young means we plan material delivery and dumpster placement carefully. If your home is in a historic district or under an HOA, we help coordinate the design review so the panel profile and color are approved before we order. We pull the required roofing permit and keep the job site secure. Our crews handle standing seam, R-panel, corrugated, metal shingles, stone-coated steel, and copper accents, and we replace flashing, chimney, and skylight details as needed.
Step 3: When the job is done, we clean up thoroughly. We magnet-sweep for nails, haul away old materials, and do a final walkthrough with you to make sure you are satisfied. We leave your property clean and your roof ready for the next Memphis storm.
Pricing in Memphis depends on the size and pitch of your roof, access, the condition of the decking, and how urgent the work is.

Corrugated and ribbed panel roofing starts at $5.50 per square foot, and stone-coated steel or metal shingles start at $9. Smaller repairs, like a leak or flashing fix, start at $450, and screw replacement and re-fastening starts at $750. Metal roof coating and painting starts at $2.50 per square foot, and gutters for metal roofs start at $9 per linear foot.
