Roofing in Germantown

Germantown is Memphis's most established eastern suburb, and its housing reflects that: large brick homes on generous lots, most of them built between the 1970s and the late 1990s in the neighborhoods off Poplar Avenue, Germantown Road, Farmington Boulevard and Wolf River Boulevard. These are substantial houses with substantial roofs — multiple gables, dormers, valleys and chimneys — and many of them are now on their second or third roof. A house built in 1985 with a roof replaced in 2005 is due again, and the hail that comes through most springs tends to make the decision for the owner.

The city also has some of the most mature tree cover in the metro. That is a large part of why people live here, and it is a large part of our emergency work. Oaks and hickories that have stood for sixty years come down in straight-line wind, and a limb through a Germantown roof usually means structural repair as well as roofing, and a claim that needs to be scoped for both. We do the tarping, the framing, the roof and the interior as one job.

Germantown takes appearance seriously, at the city level and in its many homeowners' associations. Roof color and material choices are visible from the street and sometimes governed by covenant, and the city has its own permitting and inspection process through its Development department. We work within all of that: we bring samples to match the brick, we check the covenant where there is one, and we pull the Germantown permit as part of the job.

What we find on Germantown roofs

The most common Germantown job is a replacement on a large, complex roof that has reached twenty years. These roofs have a lot of valley and a lot of flashing, and the original installation frequently reused the flashing from the roof before it. When we tear one off, we replace every piece of flashing, re-detail the valleys with ice-and-water shield and rebuild the ventilation for the size of attic these homes have.

The second is hail. Germantown's roofs are large and its trees are not always in the way, and a spring hailstorm leaves bruising across a whole slope that is invisible from the driveway. Because the houses are valuable and the roofs expensive, getting the claim documented properly matters more here than almost anywhere. Insurance claim assistance is a large part of what we do in the city.

The third is water damage from roofs that were repaired instead of replaced for too long: stained ceilings in upstairs bedrooms, wet insulation over the garage, and mold in attics that were never ventilated for the insulation that was added later. Water damage restoration and the roof fix happen under one claim.
