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

Storm 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.

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!
Kat Mueller ★★★★★
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.
Kenneth Meacham ★★★★★
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

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.
