Roofing in Olive Branch

Olive Branch was a small town on the Mississippi side of the line until the 1990s, and then for about twenty years it was one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. The subdivisions off Craft Road, Goodman Road, Pleasant Hill Road and Highway 305 — Wedgewood, the neighborhoods around the Olive Branch City Park and the developments running toward Byhalia — were built in a rush of production housing from the late 1990s through the 2010s. That puts thousands of similar roofs, installed within a few years of each other, at roughly the same age today, and the earliest of them are reaching their first replacement now.

Because the housing is young, the work in Olive Branch is different from Memphis. We rarely find three layers of history under the shingles. What we find instead is the builder's original roof: entry-level shingle, the minimum underlayment, ventilation sized to code rather than the attic, and the detailing shortcuts that production crews take on a schedule. Those roofs were adequate on day one and have had twenty years of Mid-South hail, heat and wind since. A first replacement done properly is a substantial upgrade on the house.

Olive Branch is in DeSoto County, Mississippi, with its own building codes and its own permit process through the city's Building department, and Mississippi's contractor regulations apply. We handle the Olive Branch permit as part of every job there and keep to the local requirements on the Mississippi side of the line.

What we find on Olive Branch roofs

The most common Olive Branch job is a hail claim. The city sits on open, gently rolling ground with young trees, so a spring hailstorm hits every roof on a street the same way and the claims arrive at the insurer in a pile. The claim that is documented properly — hits per test square, marked and photographed, collateral damage on the gutters and vents recorded — is the one that gets scoped for a full replacement rather than a patch. Insurance claim assistance is most of what we do here.

The second is the builder detail that failed on schedule: a cracked rubber pipe boot at year twelve, a valley that was woven rather than flashed, a bonus-room dormer with no kick-out flashing, a ridge vent that was never sealed at the ends. These are repairs, and finding the real one rather than patching above the stain is what separates a repair that holds from one that comes back. Roof repair.

The third is gutters. Builder-grade sectional gutters on a two-story subdivision home overflow in the two-inch-an-hour storms the area gets, and the water goes down the siding and into the foundation. Seamless gutters sized for the roof fix it. Gutter installation and repair.
