We know Hernando’s roofs. The brick-veneer homes west of Highway 51, the subdivisions platted during DeSoto County’s 1990s growth surge, the historic wood-frame structures near the town square - each presents a different challenge, and each demands a different material. Our Specialty Roofing team has worked these neighborhoods since long before I-269 changed the commute pattern. We’re not storm-chasers who blew in after last spring’s hail. We’ve been here since 1984, and we plan to be here when your next roof needs us.

Our Specialty Roofing Services in Hernando
Solar Ready Roofing
Hernando’s position at the edge of the Memphis metro makes it prime territory for solar adoption as utility rates climb. But bolting panels to a roof with five years of life left is a costly mistake. Our Solar Ready Roofing installs a reinforced base sheet and proper flashing during your re-roof, so when you’re ready for panels, you don’t tear off good shingles to do it.
We reroofed a 1997-built home on Meadowood Lane in the Greenbrook subdivision, where the original 3-tab shingles were granule-bare after multiple hail events. The homeowner chose GAF Timberline HDZ shingles with a Solar Ready base sheet, allowing future panel installation without re-roofing. Our crew completed the tear-off and re-deck of OSB sections in two days, following Hernando’s wind-uplift code requirements. Done right - and if it is not, we make it right.
TPO Roofing
Commercial buildings and some larger residential structures in Hernando’s newer commercial corridors along I-55 benefit from TPO’s reflective white surface. Our summers are brutal; TPO drops rooftop temperatures significantly, reducing HVAC load. We install mechanically attached and fully adhered systems using 60- or 80-mil membrane from authorized manufacturer lines. A typical TPO installation on a Hernando commercial property runs $6.50-$9.50 per square foot, with most jobs completed in three to five days.
Modified Bitumen
For low-slope sections common on Hernando’s 1990s-era homes - garage additions, porches, rear wings - modified bitumen provides the durability that standard shingles cannot on pitches below 2/12. We install torch-applied and self-adhering systems, critical in Hernando where ponding water after heavy spring rains destroys improperly flashed low-slope areas. Modified bitumen repairs start around $850; full low-slope replacement on a typical Hernando home runs $3,200-$5,800.
EPDM Roofing
Rubber membrane systems serve Hernando’s commercial and institutional buildings where longevity trumps reflectivity. EPDM handles the thermal cycling of our region better than most materials, and a properly installed 60-mil system can last 25 years. We ballast, mechanically attach, or fully adhere depending on structure and wind exposure.
Built-Up Roofing & Green Roof Systems
Historic structures near Hernando’s town square sometimes present deck conditions - plank sheathing, irregular framing - that favor built-up roofing’s forgiving installation. Green roof systems, while less common in our market, suit specific commercial clients seeking stormwater management credits. We assess each structure individually and specify accordingly.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hernando
We stock GAF, Atlas, and Tamko materials in our DeSoto County warehouse, which means no waiting on Memphis distribution for standard colors and profiles. For specialty systems, our authorized status with CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and Boral ensures proper warranty registration and manufacturer-backed specifications. We do not substitute materials without written approval. The shingle sample you approve is the shingle on your roof. Fast turnaround matters in Hernando, where a torn-off roof and a forecast of hail do not mix well.
Common Specialty Roofing Problems We See in Hernando Homes
- Hail-stripped 3-tab shingles. Golf ball-sized hail from supercells tracking through Hernando strips granules from 3-tab shingles within 10 years, causing premature granule loss and accelerated aging. We inspect for this damage specifically, not just obvious punctures.
- Ice dam damage at eaves. Winter ice dams form on poorly ventilated attics common in slab-foundation homes, forcing water under shingles at eaves and rotting OSB decking. Modified bitumen or proper ice-and-water shield installation prevents recurrence.
- Simultaneous end-of-life failures. Original 3-tab shingles installed during the 1990s building boom reach simultaneous end-of-life, leading to widespread curling, cracking, and blow-offs in high winds. Entire streets in subdivisions west of Highway 51 need replacement within the same two-year window.
- Improper low-slope flashing on additions. The 1990s construction boom in Hernando sometimes cut corners on garage and porch roofs, using standard shingles on pitches too low for drainage. Water ponds, then penetrates. We see this repeatedly in Greenbrook and similar-era subdivisions.

FAQs - Specialty Roofing in Hernando
Replace before failure. A 1999 Hernando home with original 3-tab shingles is already past design life, and our spring hail season accelerates deterioration unpredictably. Proactive replacement lets you choose timing, materials, and contractor - emergency replacement after blow-off or leak damage forces rushed decisions and limited availability. We offer free inspections to assess remaining service life. Call (844) 563-1816 to schedule.
You need a roof with at least 15 years of remaining life before adding solar panels. Most Hernando homes from the 1995-2005 building boom do not meet this threshold. Our Solar Ready Roofing installs reinforced decking and proper flashing during re-roof, eliminating the $3,000-$5,000 cost of panel removal and reinstallation when your shingles later fail. We will evaluate your current roof’s condition and provide an honest assessment - no pressure to re-roof if it is not warranted.
Impact-resistant architectural shingles or TPO for commercial applications. We specify GAF Timberline AS or Atlas StormMaster Slate for residential re-roofs in Hernando, both rated for hail impact that would destroy standard 3-tab shingles. For low-slope sections, modified bitumen’s multi-ply construction resists puncture better than single-ply alternatives in hail events. Material selection should match your roof’s pitch, structure, and your long-term plans for the property.
Yes. Subdivisions platted during Hernando’s growth surge were built with 20-year 3-tab shingles that are now failing in clusters. A single roofing crew can legitimately canvas an entire street of homes all due for replacement at the same time, a neighborhood-scale pattern rarely seen in slower-growth Mississippi towns. We offer group assessment appointments for neighbors who coordinate - same visit, individual estimates, no obligation. Call (844) 563-1816 to arrange.
They can. The smaller historic core near the town square includes older wood-frame structures with steeper pitches and potentially original plank sheathing that complicates deck replacement. Plank sheathing requires different fastening patterns and often needs overlay with plywood or OSB to meet modern wind-uplift codes. We assess these structures individually, document conditions with photos, and specify materials appropriate to both the building’s character and current code requirements. Never a one-size-fits-all approach.
