The Byram family way
Since September 2018, Jaime and Chris Byram have run this company the way they'd want their own home treated. That shows up in small things: crews that protect your landscaping, straight answers about whether you need a repair or a replacement, and the same respect for a modest ranch house as for an estate.
What we do
Licensed under TN Home Improvement Contractor #12180 for the whole house, so the company that replaces your roof can also repair the drywall the leak stained.
Start with a free inspection. We'll tell you honestly what we find.
Free InspectionStorm damage and insurance claims
When wind or hail hits the Mid-South, we document the damage, meet the adjuster on your roof, and give you an honest read on whether a claim is even worth filing before you touch your deductible.
Leak happening right now? Here is what to do tonight, step by step.


Craft you can verify
Manufacturers certify us to install their best systems, and we back the work ourselves: a 3 year workmanship warranty on roof replacements, a 1 year labor warranty on repairs, and every manufacturer warranty registered by us in your name, which is rare in this industry. Warranties transfer if you sell your home.
Financing through Hearth
Checking your options through Hearth does not affect your credit score.

We look at the whole roof, photograph what we find, and show you. Inspections and estimates are always free.
A clear written scope and price. If a repair will do the job, we will not sell you a replacement.
Certified installation, your property protected while we work, and your warranty registered by us before we leave.
Seven years of Mid-South homeowners telling their neighbors how the job went. Read their words, not ours.
This company is fantastic! They put in a new roof and also replaced and painted our siding. Our house looks brand new! They even replaced our light bulbs while up there and now you can see how beautiful the house looks at night as well. They worked efficiently and cleaned up after themselves. Everyone was excellent, from the owners to the workers onsite. I highly recommend using this company for all your roofing and siding needs! Thank you James Russel!
We engaged James Russell Roofing for a roof replacement and after receiving a very reasonable quote, we were able to get on their schedule and have a fully replaced roof within 2 weeks. They did a wonderful job. Communicated well the entire time, were super professional, and left a really clean job. 10/10 would use again.
I would highly recommend James Russell Roofing for any of your roofing needs in memphis! They are incredibly kind, not pushy and super helpful. I will definitely use them again.
Where we work
From our office on Poplar Ave we serve Shelby, Fayette, Tipton, Lauderdale, and Haywood county communities in Tennessee, plus Olive Branch and Southaven in DeSoto County, Mississippi.
Why we're building this
Jaime and Chris are open about why they are growing James Russell Roofing, and it is not just more roofs. The long-term goal is a company strong enough to give back: free roof replacements for families in Memphis poverty areas who could never afford one. Every job you hire us for moves that goal forward.
That commitment reaches into some of the hardest seasons a family can face, too. In honor of Jaime's mother, we have pledged a donation to a Baptist Cancer Center fund supporting education on screening and early detection, and resources for colon cancer patients and their loved ones. A company that only shows up for the invoice is not the company we set out to build.
