Roof Replacement Built to Last
Craftsmanship, care, and roofs designed for decades of protection.
Roof Replacement Rooted in Care and Craftsmanship
A new roof is more than shingles and nails; it’s the safeguard for everything beneath it. At Lucius, every replacement is managed with precision, integrity, and respect for your home. We start with a clear evaluation, explain your choices in plain language, and deliver a system designed to endure Memphis weather for decades.
Every roof we install is hand-nailed, not air-gunned, a slower, more exacting method that improves nail placement, shingle performance, protects manufacturer warranties, and delivers a cleaner, longer-lasting finish. It’s the kind of craftsmanship that’s made Lucius a trusted Memphis name for generations
Hand-Nailed Installation: The Lucius Standard
In an era of shortcuts, we still hand-nail every roof. Why? Because control matters. Hand-nailing ensures each fastener sits flush and within in the manufacturer’s nailing zone, eliminating the over-driven or under-driven nails as well as high nailing that cause leaks, blow-offs, and warranty problems.
It also creates a cleaner, more uniform roofline and a quieter, less disruptive installation. It takes a little more time, but it builds a tighter, stronger roof (one that holds firm when storms test it). This isn’t an upgrade with Lucius; it’s our standard.
What You Gain with a Lucius Roof
A Lucius replacement roof is designed around your home, your comfort, and your long-term confidence.
Built for Memphis Weather
Our hand-nailed roofing systems and premium materials are engineered to resist intense heat, high winds, and sudden storms, protecting your home season after season.
Detail in Every Layer
From deck repair to flashing, no seam or edge is overlooked. Every nail is set by hand, giving us complete control over placement and depth, which creates a difference you’ll see in performance, durability, and even curb appeal.
Four Decades of Trust
With over 40 years in Memphis, we know how roofs fail and how to prevent it. That experience means fewer callbacks, stronger warranties, and lasting value.
The Lucius Roofing Process
Every project follows a deliberate process that balances efficiency with craftsmanship. From first nail to final sweep, you’ll see the difference in how we work.
- Tear-Off & Decking Reinforcement: We remove all old material, inspect the decking, and replace any weak sections. A strong deck ensures your new roof performs exactly as designed.
- Weather Barriers & Flashing: We install high-performance synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield, drip edge, and carefully detailed flashing. These hidden protections keep water out where roofs most often fail.
- Shingles & Ventilation System: We install shingles with hand-nailed precision and balanced attic ventilation using All-Weather Filtered Ridge Vents for energy efficiency and manufacturer compliance. These vents prevent rain, snow, and insect intrusion while allowing proper airflow. Every shingle is hand-nailed for exact fastener placement, delivering a roof that performs as beautifully as it looks.
Atlas Pinnacle® Pristine Roofing System
We recommend Atlas Pinnacle® Pristine for its balance of beauty and resilience. Featuring Scotchgard™ Protector to prevent streaking, exceptional wind resistance, and striking curb appeal, it’s a system that pairs perfectly with our hand-nailed installation. Day one, it looks outstanding. Years later, it still does.
Why Generations of Memphis Homeowners Choose Lucius
Lucius is family-owned, Memphis-rooted, and driven by the belief that quality always outlasts speed. We don’t cut corners; we craft roofs that protect homes, preserve value, and honor the trust our customers place in us.
We believe that slowing down to drive each nail by hand isn’t just an installation choice, it’s a statement of our values: quality over speed, craftsmanship over shortcuts. From the moment we step on-site to the final magnet sweep, you’ll notice the difference in communication, in craftsmanship, and in care.
Answers to Common Questions About Roof Replacement
What areas do you serve?
We proudly serve Memphis, Bartlett, Germantown, Cordova, Collierville, Munford, Atoka, and Millington — as well as nearby Mid-South areas including Arlington, Brighton, Brunswick, Burlison, and Covington. We also cover parts of North Mississippi, such as Southaven, Olive Branch, and Hernando.
Why is hand-nailing better than air guns?
Air guns are fast but imprecise. Hand-nailing gives complete control over placement and depth, reducing leaks, blow-offs, warranty risks, and ensuring a cleaner, longer-lasting roofline.
Does hand-nailing improve warranty protection?
Yes. Because every nail is placed precisely in the manufacturer’s designated zone, hand-nailing helps preserve full warranty coverage and long-term performance.
How does hand-nailing affect durability in Memphis weather?
Hand-nailed shingles stay firmly in place during high winds and sudden storms, reducing the chance of blow-offs and emergency repairs.
Will my roof look different with hand-nailing?
Yes. Careful hand placement creates a smoother, more uniform roofline that enhances curb appeal as well as performance.
Is hand-nailing quieter than air-gun installation?
It is. Hand-nailing avoids the loud, staccato noise of nail guns, making installation less disruptive for your family and neighbors.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most projects are completed in a single day. Complex roofs may take longer, but we always prioritize protection, communication, and cleanup.
Do you replace damaged decking?
Yes. We remove roofing to the deck, reinforce weak spots, and ensure every shingle is anchored to a solid base.
Which shingles do you recommend?
Atlas Pinnacle® Pristine shingles are our primary recommendation for their appearance, streak resistance, outstanding warranty, and durability. Not to mention these shingles are also class 3 impact resistant protecting the shingle from weather. Other premium options are available.
How do you protect my property during installation?
We cover landscaping, manage debris with care, and complete a thorough cleanup and magnetic sweep at the end of each day.
What warranties are included?
You’ll receive manufacturer protection, a 15 non-prorated labor and material warranty with Atlas and lifetime algae or black streak protection, plus a Lucius workmanship warranty. We review all terms clearly before work begins.
Can I stay in my home during replacement?
Yes. We manage all required building permits and coordinate inspections, ensuring compliance with local Memphis codes and standards.
How much will my replacement cost?
Costs depend on roof size, slope, and material. We provide a detailed, transparent estimate after inspection (no hidden surprises).
