Full Roof Replacement on a Large Cordova Home

This was a big job. We're talking a large, two-story brick home in Cordova with multiple roof sections, different pitches, and a full tear-off needed before a single new shingle could go down. Jobs like this one are where the details really matter - because a roof this size leaves very little room for shortcuts.

Here's what we were working with: the old roofing material stripped off completely, ice and water barrier laid across the entire deck, and fresh underlayment installed before the shingles went on. You can see the tarps draping down the side of the house during the tear-off phase. That's not just for show - protecting the siding, windows, and landscaping during a tear-off is something a lot of homeowners don't think about until it's too late. We think about it before the first ladder goes up.

Once the deck was prepped and the underlayment was down, the crew worked section by section laying the new architectural shingles. The ridge cap runs straight and tight all the way down the peak - that's one of those things that tells you whether a crew actually cares about the finished product or is just trying to get off the roof fast. We care. The finished shots of the completed sections show exactly what a properly installed roof looks like up close - clean, uniform, and locked in tight.

Large homes in Cordova often have complex rooflines - hips, gables, multiple valleys - and this one had all of it. Every transition point is a potential leak spot if it's not handled right. We take our time on those areas because that's where a cheap installation will fail first. The homeowner gets a solid, weather-tight roof that's built to hold up against whatever Memphis weather throws at it.

Whether you're dealing with storm damage, an aging roof that's past its useful life, or just want a professional assessment of what's going on up there, we handle it all - from minor repairs to full replacements like this one.
