Shingle removal Services in Memphis, Tennessee
Shingle removal is the critical first step before any roof replacement project in Memphis and surrounding communities. When your home in neighborhoods like Hickory Hill, Raleigh, or Frayser needs a new roof, the old shingles, felt, and flashing must be completely stripped away. This process involves safely removing layers of weathered asphalt or composite shingles that have deteriorated over 15-25 years, along with all fasteners, nails, and debris. EvoNorth Junk Remova handles these projects for homes in Whitehaven, Midtown Memphis, and the greater Memphis metro, working efficiently to prepare your roof deck for the contractor's new installation.
Our shingle removal process begins with a site assessment to determine roofing square footage, material type, and accessibility from neighborhoods like Downtown Memphis to Southaven and Horn Lake. We establish debris containment zones and position dumpsters or removal trucks on your property. Our trained crew strips shingles layer-by-layer, removes nails and fasteners, clears the roof deck, and hauls all material away within 1-3 business days depending on roof size. We then perform final cleanup of ground debris around your Germantown, Collierville, or Arlington home before the new roofing contractor arrives to begin installation.

Our Shingle removal Process
Site Assessment and Permitting
We evaluate your Memphis-area roof, measure square footage, identify material types, and confirm any city permits required by Arlington or Bartlett codes. Most residential shingle removals in Memphis do not require permits, but commercial projects in Cordova or Lakeland may. Assessment typically takes 1-2 hours.
Debris Containment Setup
Our crew positions dumpsters, tarps, or removal trucks on your Germantown or Collierville property, protecting landscaping and siding. We establish work zones and ensure safe access for roof crews. Setup happens the morning of Day 1, taking 1-2 hours.
Shingle and Underlayment Removal
We systematically strip shingles, felt, and tar paper from your roof in Whitehaven, Midtown, or Downtown Memphis. Crews remove fasteners and nails, clearing the deck to bare wood. A typical 2,000 sq ft roof takes 6-10 hours; larger 4,000+ sq ft roofs in Collierville or Southaven may take 2 days.
Final Cleanup and Haul-Away
After stripping, we sweep the roof deck, remove ground debris around your Hickory Hill or Frayser home, and load all material into trucks. All roofing waste goes to licensed disposal facilities. Final cleanup and departure typically occur by end of Day 1 or early Day 2.
