Roofing in Germantown — 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 Germantown different.
Roof replacement in Germantown
RoofMD works in Germantown, Tennessee. The project below is a roof replacement in the Johnston Rd area: a large brick home with a multi-hip roofline, three chimneys, several dormers and a three-car garage wing.
A roof like this is as much a logistics problem as a roofing one. Every hip, valley and dormer has to be stripped, covered and shingled in the right order, and the crew has to protect what is around the house while they do it. The photos tell that story better than a paragraph can, so they come first.
