The Byram family way
We don't just fix roofs, we build relationships.
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.
- Family-owned and operated since 2018
- We treat every home with equal respect, from high-end estates to modest houses
- We protect your landscaping and property during every job
- Faith and community minded
- We fix it right the first time
What we do
Roofs to remodels, one accountable crew
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.

Free InspectionStorm damage and insurance claims
After the storm, you need an advocate
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.

Seven years of Mid-South homeowners telling their neighbors how the job went. Read their words, not ours.
My husband and I contacted Chris and Jaime when we had to file a claim for storm damage to our roof. They responded quickly and helped immensly with the insurance company in getting our roof replaced.
Jaime was rapid to respond and did great work at a great price. What more can you ask for? Highly recommended local family operated roofing company.
Highly recommend this company. James Russell roofing did a fantastic job on our roof repair. We have very steep slopes and the work looks seamless.
Where we work
Memphis based, serving the Mid-South
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
A company built to give back
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.
Ready when you are, Monday to Friday
Call between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM and you'll reach the people who actually build your roof. Or request your free estimate online any time and we'll follow up on the next business day.
