Millington is on the far side of Memphis from our base in Hernando, Mississippi, roughly an hour north, and we make that drive for inspections, repairs, replacements and storm calls.
If you need roofing in Millington, TN, it helps to know who we are and how far we come. Advance Roofing & Restoration is a Mississippi company, owned by Greg Stephens and based in Hernando, and Millington is roughly an hour north of us on the other side of Memphis. There is no Tennessee office: Millington jobs are run from Hernando, and we cross the state line for them.
Millington is a Shelby County city of 10,582 people at the 2020 census, north of Memphis along US 51, and military aviation shaped it. Park Field opened here in 1917 as an Army Signal Corps aviation school, a naval reserve air base followed in 1942, and the installation is now Naval Support Activity Mid-South.
The base changed the town quickly. Millington counted 730 people in 1940 and 4,696 in 1950, so a share of the older houses in town date from the war years and the decade after. On a house from that run, the framing and decking are well past seventy years old, however recently the shingles on top were changed.
Because we are coming a fair distance, we make the visit count: shingles, ridge, vents, pipe boots, flashing and any decking we can see from above. You hear the findings in plain terms, and if work is needed you get an estimate, with no charge for either.
We are open 24 hours, so call when wind or a falling limb opens the roof, whatever the hour. From Hernando it is a real drive, so the first job is a tarp or temporary cover to keep the house dry, and the permanent repair is planned after that.
On a house from the base boom years, a replacement is the moment to see what the decking looks like. We tear off to the boards, replace any that have gone soft, put on the new roof, and leave the yard and driveway clean.
On Millington homes we do repairs, replacements, maintenance and inspections. If you are not sure which of those your home needs, the inspection settles it before anyone talks about price.
Worried About a Millington Roof?
Call day or night and describe what you are seeing: the inspection and the estimate cost nothing.
We will be straight about the distance. Millington is roughly an hour from Hernando, up I-55 into Tennessee and then across Memphis to the north end of Shelby County, so we are not the roofer down the street.
What the drive does not change is the visit itself: the inspection is still free, someone still gets on the roof, and you still hear plainly whether a repair is enough. Millington is the northern edge of the area we cover, with Memphis between us and Southaven just across the line on our side.
Millington grew in waves tied to the base. The population went from 730 in 1940 to 6,059 by 1960, and the census counted 21,177 in 1970 before the figure came back down in the decades that followed.
That leaves homes from several eras side by side. A house from the 1950s may still have its original plank decking and chimney flashing that has been redone more than once, while a newer house mostly needs a close look at pipe boots, ridge vents and the shingle edges along the eaves. Our roof replacement page explains what a full tear-off involves.
Millington lies east of the Mississippi River, with Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park out toward the water, and storm lines that cross the river reach the town with little to slow them down. Spring brings tornado watches, and summer thunderstorms can bring hail and straight-line wind.
Hail damage is easy to miss from the ground and tends to show up later as a leak. If a storm has torn the roof open, our emergency roofing page covers what happens first. If you file a claim, we can be on the roof when the adjuster comes, the claim stays between you and your insurer, and an approved claim is worked from the scope the insurer approved.
Yes. Advance Roofing & Restoration is based in Hernando, Mississippi, roughly an hour south, and we cross the state line for roof repairs, replacements, inspections and storm calls in Millington. There is no Tennessee office, so Millington jobs are run from Hernando.
No. The inspection and the estimate are free, even with the drive. We get on the roof, check the shingles, flashing, vents and visible decking, and go over what we found with you.
One leak, a few missing shingles or a cracked pipe boot is usually a repair. Shingles that are bald, curling or brittle across every slope point to a replacement. The inspection tells you which, and we do not quote more than the roof needs.
That depends on your policy and the cause of the damage, and only your insurer decides it. We can be on the roof when the adjuster comes out, and if the claim is approved we work from the scope your insurer approved.
Keep everyone out of rooms where the ceiling is sagging and move what you can away from the water. Then call (901) 350-5290. We are open 24 hours, and the first step is a tarp or temporary cover, with the permanent repair after.

Advance roofing company is very professional, thorough, works diligently & directly with your insurance company. They make all necessary calls to the insurance company & meet with inspectors to ensure all damages are reported. If your claim is disapproved the Advance company works effectively & resubmits claim including a video recording to describe over looked damages to the insurance company that may have been missed to ensure all damages are exposed. Advance Roofing company works very hard from start to finished until the insurance company approves your claim. I was very pleased with the outcome & received a completed replaced roof in one day after being denied twice by the insurance company. Everything was done professionally, including placing plastic down around the house. Excellent job with cleaning up all debris, nails & old roofing. I was extremely satisfied & elated to get the job done so quickly. I would recommend using this company if you want excellent service.
