Real jobs, real roofs
Work from around the metro
Every photo here is ours. No stock, no catalog roofs from somewhere that is not Tennessee.
Hip roof, brick ranch in Memphis
A full tear-off and re-roof on a mid-century brick ranch. New underlayment, new architectural shingles, and the gutters rehung on sound fascia before we left.
Chalk lines before the first course
Snapping lines across fresh decking is what squares a roof. Every course above them lands straight because this step was not rushed.
Down to the bare decking
You cannot judge a roof until the old layers are off. Stripping to the deck is where soft sheathing turns up, and where it gets replaced before anything new goes down.
Re-roofing a geodesic dome
Not every roof in this metro is a simple gable. Triangular facets, synthetic underlayment, and a lot of careful cutting to get the coverage right.
The crew on a finished flat roof
Low-slope work on a small commercial building, membrane down and the chimney chase flashed. Jonathan is on the roof for these, not in a truck somewhere.
Handing a job back to the owner
The last step on every job is walking it with the customer so they can see what they paid for on a surface they cannot get to themselves.
On a roof, St. Jude weekend
This is a Memphis company. You will find the crew out in the city when they are not working, including St. Jude Memphis Marathon weekend.
Brown architectural on a cream ranch
The color was the homeowner's call and it was the right one. Warm shingle against cream siding, with the brick skirt tying it together.
Done, and standing in front of it
Jonathan at the mailbox after the trailer was loaded. If the roof is not something he would put on his own house, it does not go on yours.
Brick, stucco and a new roof
Not every house in this metro is one material. Brick on one wall, stucco on the next, and a roofline that has to look right against both.
Halfway across a hip roof
Shot from above mid-replacement. New shingles on the left, synthetic underlayment still showing on the right, and the crew working the line between them.
A whole roof, one afternoon
Ladders at both ends, crew spread across the slope. Most single-family re-roofs in this metro come off and go back on inside a day.
Rolling underlayment
Underlayment is the layer nobody sees and the one that matters when a shingle lifts. It goes down flat, lapped, and fastened before a single shingle follows it.
Out past the county line
A farmhouse re-roof with a pond in the back forty. We cover a wide metro, and some of it is a long way from a Home Depot.
Stripped over the garage
Tarps over the shrubs, plywood on the ground, and the old roof coming off in sheets. Protecting what is under the roof is part of the job.
Cutting out bad decking
This is what a soft spot looks like once the shingles are gone. It gets cut back to solid framing and replaced, not shingled over.
A repair, not a replacement
Two men, one bad section, and a new pipe collar being shaped on the roof. Plenty of roofs need a repair and nothing more, and we will tell you when that is the case.
Square cut, fresh plywood
Cutting a clean square around the damage gives the patch something solid to land on. Ragged holes are how a repair leaks a year later.
Lifting a course to reach the nails
Shingles are repaired from underneath. Lift the tab, pull the nails, slide the new one in, and seal it back down so the course above never knows.
Low slope, finished
Modified bitumen over a long low-slope run. Granulated cap sheet, seams rolled, and pitched so water leaves instead of sitting.
Where the roof meets the wall
Flat roofs almost never fail in the field. They fail at the wall, so the flashing there gets metal and attention.
New deck on a low slope
Everything off, down to fresh OSB. When the deck is this far gone, patching the membrane on top of it is throwing money away.
Courses going down at dusk
Rolled membrane, lapped course over course. We finished this one after the light went because rain was coming.
One bad section, replaced
A patch of decking cut out and replaced before the new membrane went over it. The rest of the deck was sound and stayed.
What a long leak does
Open the roof and the joists tell you how long it has been leaking. These were rotted through, so new framing went in before anything else.
Tarped the same day
After a storm the first job is stopping water from getting in. The tarp buys time to do the real repair properly instead of in the rain.
Cap nails, not staples
A tarp is only as good as its edge. Button caps through the field and the perimeter keep it on through the next round of wind.
Hanging a long run
Gutter on a commercial building, pitched along its length toward the downspout. A flat gutter is just a trough that holds water.
Around a bay window
Seamless gutter wrapping a bay. The corners are where leaks start, so they get mitered and sealed rather than pieced together.
Gutter and downspout, new
Fresh gutter over fresh fascia. Water has to get off the roof and then away from the foundation, and the downspout is the second half of that.
New gutter on a stucco gable
Gutter and fascia replaced together on a stucco corner. Doing one without the other is how you hang new metal on rotten wood.
Looking up at the corner
The junction of fascia, gutter and gable is worth a look from the ground now and then. This is where we usually find the first sign of trouble.
Damaged trim at the roof edge
Torn flashing and split trim where the roof meets brick. Small, cheap to fix now, expensive once it has been letting water in for a season.
Weathered, but not gone
Peeling paint on a gable end. This is a carpentry and paint job, not a roof job, and we will say so.
Rotted fascia, gutter pulling away
When the board behind the gutter goes soft the fasteners lose their grip and the whole run starts to sag. That is a fascia problem wearing a gutter costume.
Clean trim on brick
Fascia and trim the way it should look: straight, painted, and tight to the brick with no gaps for water.
New soffit under the eave
Soffit is what lets the attic breathe. Blocked or missing soffit cooks a roof from underneath, so it gets fixed when we find it.
Storefront, during business hours
Small commercial work gets scheduled so the doors stay open. Two ladders, one roofline, and a business that never closed.
A deck, built to stay
Pressure-treated framing, stairs and rail. The roof is most of what we do, but the same crew does the carpentry around the outside of the house.
Stairs, rail and skirt
Stringers cut square, rail at the right height, lattice underneath. Exterior carpentry is measured the same way a roof is.
Staining a privacy fence
A fence lasts longer with something on it. Spraying gets into the grain faster than a brush and covers a long run in an afternoon.
Into the grain
Close enough to see the stain go on. Wood that has never been sealed drinks the first coat, which is why we plan for two.
On the roof at dusk
Jonathan on somebody's roof at the end of the day. He gets on the roof himself rather than quoting one from the driveway.
On site
The owner on a job, not in an office. When you call All Done, this is who comes out.
Up on the ridge
Every roof gets walked before a number goes on paper. You cannot see a soft deck or a lifted course from the ground.
Owner on the job, crew behind him
Jonathan does not send a crew and stay home. He is on the roof with them, which is how the work stays consistent.
Two of us, end of the day
The crew is small on purpose. The same people show up, and they know how the last roof went.
Out on an exterior job
Not every day is a roof. Fences, paint and carpentry keep the same crew busy through the slow weeks.
With the homeowner, job done
A finished job out at a farmhouse. The thumbs up is the part of this work that keeps people doing it.
Handed back
Standing in the yard with the owner after a re-roof. Every job ends with a walkthrough, not an invoice in the mail.
On the porch afterward
A customer on his own porch under a roof we just finished. That is the whole point of the job.
Inside, after the walkthrough
Some customers want the photos on the kitchen table afterward. We bring them.
Finished, late in the day
A full re-roof on a ranch off a quiet street, shot on the way out. Architectural shingles, clean lines at the rake, and a yard we raked before we loaded up.

Questions
Are these your own jobs?
Every photo on this site is a job we did or our own crew on site. We do not use stock photography of somebody else's roof.
Can I see work near me?
Call and ask. Jonathan can usually point you at something in your area.
Can you match my existing roof?
Usually. Bring us the shingle name if you have it, or we will pull a sample and match it.
Do you photograph my job?
Yes, before and after. Those photos are also what supports an insurance claim.
How do I get started?
Call (901) 922-9450 or send the details through the contact page.
Want yours to look like this?
Call Jonathan and get it handled.
Jonathan answers the phone himself. If he is on a roof when you call, he calls back the same day.
