Roofing in Cordova — the local picture
Three challenges that shape every project we take on in Shelby County.
1970–2000 housing
Most Mid-South roofs are past their original service life.
The majority of Shelby County homes were built with 3-tab shingles rated for 20–25 years. We see granule loss, cupped edges, and exposed felt paper on first inspection — signs it’s well past time.
- 3-tab shingles past their 20–25 year lifespan
- Deck degradation from decades of thermal cycling
- Original flashing that predates modern IRC code
- Gutters pulling from fascia under ice and debris load

Local knowledge
What makes roofing in Cordova different.
Established and growing
Cordova is one of the most active residential areas of eastern Shelby County, with a mix of 1990s-era subdivisions and newer construction that has continued pushing east. Both generations of housing have their own typical repair profile.
The established sections—Trails of Dexter, Berryhill, the Cordova Club neighborhoods—are now old enough that original roofs are at or near their practical end of life. We see a lot of "no visible leak yet but I want to know where I stand" inspection calls in this area, and that is exactly the right time to look.
Storm exposure
Eastern Shelby County is not sheltered from the hail and wind events that move through the metro in spring. Cordova has taken direct hits from documented hail events in recent years, and post-storm inspection backlogs can push qualified contractors weeks out. If you have storm damage and need documentation for an insurance claim, calling early matters.
Unincorporated county process
Because Cordova is not incorporated, the permit process runs through Shelby County rather than a city hall. The practical difference for you is minimal— we handle it either way—but it is worth knowing which jurisdiction applies if you ever need to track an inspection record yourself.

Cordova FAQ
Questions from Cordova homeowners
Is Cordova covered by Shelby County permits or does it have its own city permit?
Cordova is unincorporated Shelby County, so permits go through Shelby County Code Enforcement rather than a municipal building department. We handle that process on your behalf.
How do I know if my Cordova roof needs replacement or just repair?
The honest answer depends on the age and condition of the existing shingles. If the roof is under 15 years old and the damage is localized, a repair is usually the right call. Past 20 years with granule loss across the whole surface, we typically recommend replacement rather than a repair that addresses one symptom of a system that is at end of life.
Do you work on the newer construction in Cordova or just older homes?
Both. The inspection approach is the same; the findings are different. Newer roofs more often have storm damage or installation defects as the primary concern. Older roofs more often have age-related degradation. We handle both.
