Improve901 Home Improvement | Local Roofing Services in Memphis, TN

The most common first sign is water stains on your interior ceiling or walls near the fireplace, especially after heavy rain. You might also notice dampness in the attic around the chimney chase. As a Memphis homeowner, your first step should be to call a local professional like Improve901 for an inspection. We can quickly assess the flashing—the metal seal around your chimney—and perform a repair to prevent further water damage and mold growth, which are common issues in our humid climate.

Finding some granules, especially after a severe storm or hail, is normal for asphalt shingles. However, significant or consistent granule loss is a concern here in Memphis, as it exposes the asphalt coating to our intense sun and summer heat, accelerating aging. It's a sign your shingles are wearing. We recommend a professional roof inspection. At Improve901, we'll check the extent of the loss, look for other issues like curled or cracked shingles, and advise on whether repair or replacement is the most cost-effective solution for your home.

Absolutely. In our humid Memphis climate, roofs are prone to growths like black algae streaks, moss, and lichen. These organisms trap moisture against the shingles, which can cause premature granule loss, wood rot in the decking, and degrade the asphalt. Our professional, low-pressure soft wash service safely removes these growths without damaging the shingles. This not only improves your home's curb appeal but also removes a source of moisture and acid that shortens your roof's lifespan, protecting your investment.
