Roofing for Forest Hill homes and businesses
Work in Forest Hill runs the full range, from a single cracked boot to a full tear-off with the decking replaced underneath.
What we run into around Forest Hill
Jonathan and the crew work Forest Hill regularly. These are the problems that keep turning up there.
What defines Forest Hill for a roofer is that it is the corridor between Germantown and Collierville.
Humidity is the quiet problem around here. A roof that never leaks can still fail early if the attic underneath it has nowhere to breathe.
You get the owner on the phone, not a call center. That is the whole difference and it is the reason most of our work comes from referrals.
Tree cover is a mixed blessing here. Shade keeps a roof cooler, which helps, but overhanging limbs drop debris into valleys and gutters, hold moisture against the shingles, and give squirrels a bridge to your soffit.
Insurance work is a large part of what we do around here, and the single biggest factor in how a claim goes is documentation. Photographs taken before anything is touched, dated, showing the whole roof and the specific damage, are worth more than any argument later.
If your roof is more than fifteen years old and you have not had it looked at since it went on, that is the inspection worth getting. Not because something is necessarily wrong, but because knowing where you stand lets you plan instead of react.
If you are in Forest Hill and something is wrong up there, send over the details or call (901) 922-9450.
What Forest Hill calls us for
How we work around here
Same crew, same process, every town we cover.
You get the same crew start to finish. There is no handoff halfway through to a subcontractor you have never met and did not agree to.
If we find something we did not expect once the roof is open, work stops and you get a call with photographs before anything else happens. Surprises do not get quietly added to an invoice.
We are happy to talk to your insurance adjuster on site. It goes better when the person who walked the roof is there when the adjuster walks it.
Season by season
Winter here is mild enough to roof in, with caveats. Sealant strips need warmth to bond, so cold weather installs rely on hand sealing in the right places. It is perfectly doable and it requires somebody who knows the adjustment.
Leaf drop is the gutter event of the year. Everything that has been sitting in the trees comes down over a few weeks, and gutters that were fine in October overflow in November. One cleaning at the right moment prevents most of the winter water problems we get called about.
What the job is like
Gutters usually get touched during a roof replacement whether or not they are being replaced, because drip edge and the last course of shingles interact with them. It is worth deciding about gutters before the roof starts rather than after.
If your attic is finished or used for storage, cover what is up there. Tear off shakes loose decades of dust through the decking, and it lands on everything.
Most of the mess is contained to the perimeter of the house, which is where debris falls. Plan on that strip being a work zone for the duration rather than a place to park or walk through.
Before you call
The useful outcome of a call is not always work. Sometimes it is a dated record of condition, which is worth having for insurance and for resale even when nothing needs fixing.
Roofs rarely fail all at once. They give you signals first, and the whole point of looking early is catching the signal while the fix is still small.
If a previous contractor left you unsure about what was actually done, we are happy to look at that too and tell you plainly what is up there.
Second opinions are welcome here. If somebody has told you that you need a new roof and it did not sit right, get another set of eyes on it before you commit.
Where Forest Hill sits

Questions from Forest Hill
Do you actually work in Forest Hill?
If you own property in Forest Hill, you have watched what a Mid-South spring does to a roof. We work here year round.
How soon can somebody look at my roof?
Usually a day or two. If water is coming in right now, say so when you call and we move you up. Jonathan has tarped roofs the same afternoon to stop the damage from spreading.
Do you help with the insurance claim?
Yes. We document the damage, meet the adjuster on site, and talk through the scope with you. We have had customers tell us the photos are what got a denied claim reopened.
Is there a charge to come look?
No. Jonathan comes out, walks the roof, photographs it and tells you what he sees. If it does not need work yet, he will say that too.
Are you licensed and insured?
Licensed, bonded and insured, A+ with the BBB. Ask for proof, from us and from anybody else bidding the job.
What if it rains in the middle of my job?
We watch the forecast and we dry the roof in before we leave it. Nothing gets opened up that we cannot close before weather arrives.
What customers say
Very happy with work. No hidden charges and crew cleaned up after the work. Would highly recommend him.
Excellent customer service. Helped out with insurance claim. Came and got our roof done in a timely and very efficient way. Absolutely hire.
Jonathan told me when his crew arrived. They were here completing the work in one day. Gave me a great price, the best I got out of 5.
