Commercial Roofing in Jonesborough, TN
Commercial Roofing for Historic Main Street Buildings, Telford Industrial Plants and Washington County Businesses
Commercial Roofing for Jonesborough, Telford and Washington County
McGuire Roofing serves Jonesborough from our Knoxville office, about an hour and forty-five minutes northeast on I-81 and I-26. Jonesborough, the Washington County seat, had 5,860 residents in the 2020 Census and calls itself the oldest town in Tennessee.
Its commercial roofs come in two very different kinds. Downtown, two-story brick storefronts with parapets and internal gutters line a protected historic district. A few miles southwest in Telford, the Washington County Industrial Park holds plant buildings measured in hundreds of thousands of square feet.

Ridge Weather and Old Masonry in Jonesborough
Jonesborough sits in the upper Tennessee Valley, colder in winter than Knoxville, with more ice, snow and freeze-thaw cycles. On old brick buildings, water that gets behind parapet caps or into box gutters freezes and opens mortar joints and flashing a little more every winter. Summer storms add heavy rain that tests the internal drains and scuppers these buildings depend on.

Downtown, modified bitumen, EPDM or PVC behind parapets; in Telford and the industrial park, TPO from Johns Manville or metal restoration on older steel buildings.
Historic Storefronts Downtown, Big Plant Roofs in Telford
On Main Street the roof is usually hidden behind a parapet, so the work happens where nobody sees it: rebuilding coping and counterflashing, relining internal gutters, and replacing tired built-up roofs with modified bitumen, EPDM or PVC that keeps the front elevation unchanged. We coordinate with owners on historic district rules before work starts. In Telford and the county industrial park, the job is the opposite scale: acres of TPO or metal, phased by section so production keeps running.
Commercial Roofing Systems We Install in Jonesborough
Johns Manville is our main commercial manufacturer, including JM PVC, EPDM, TPO and modified bitumen. We are Duro-Last certified, mainly for prefabricated PVC, and GAF commercial certified as a third option. We recommend the system that fits the building, its use and its budget.
TPO
Heat-welded, reflective single-ply membrane for offices, retail and warehouses with large flat roofs.
PVC
PVC membranes, including Duro-Last prefabricated systems, for restaurants and roofs with grease exhaust or heavy rooftop equipment.
EPDM
Durable rubber membrane, installed new or repaired on the many existing EPDM roofs across the region.
Modified Bitumen
Multi-ply asphalt-based roofing for older downtown buildings and roofs with regular foot traffic.
Commercial Metal
R-panel and standing seam metal roofs for warehouses, shops, churches and mixed-use buildings.
Roof Coatings
Restoration coatings that can extend the life of a qualifying roof without a full tear-off.
Commercial Roof Repair, Replacement and Restoration
- Inspections and leak repair – We find the source, repair membrane, flashing, curbs and penetrations, and send photos of the work.
- Replacement – Full tear-off or, where the existing roof and local codes allow, a recover system. We pull the permits the local jurisdiction requires.
- Restoration – Coatings for roofs that are still sound underneath, after an inspection confirms they are good candidates.
- Drainage and gutters – Drains, scuppers and commercial gutters sized for heavy rain.
- Maintenance programs – Scheduled inspections, drain and debris clearing, minor repairs and photo reports. See our commercial roof maintenance programs.
- Safety – Work is planned around occupants and customers, following our roofing safety practices.

Jonesborough Commercial Roofing FAQ
Do you take commercial roofing projects in Jonesborough?
Yes. Jonesborough is about an hour and forty-five minutes from our Knoxville office, and it fits alongside our Johnson City and Tri-Cities projects.
Can you work on a building in the historic district?
Yes. Most downtown roofs sit behind parapets, so we can replace the roof and flashing without changing what people see from the street. Check any historic zoning requirements with the town before work starts, and we will plan around them.
Do you serve Telford, Limestone and the rest of Washington County?
Yes. We take on commercial and industrial projects in Telford, Limestone, Gray and across Washington County.
Can you roof a large plant without stopping production?
Yes. We split the roof into sections and work one at a time, keeping each section watertight at the end of the day.
Can my existing commercial roof be coated instead of replaced?
Sometimes. A coating can work when the roof is still sound and dry underneath. We inspect the roof first and tell you whether restoration or replacement makes more sense.
Is your phone answered after hours?
Yes. Our phone is answered 24/7 at (865) 338-7663. After a storm we help secure the roof with temporary repairs or tarping when it is safe, then plan the permanent repair.
Can you manage several buildings for one owner or property manager?
Yes. Multi-site clients can run every building through one office, with one phone number, one set of records and photo reports for each site. Existing clients can use our Client Portal.
Is financing available for a commercial roof?
Yes, financing is available for qualifying projects. Ask about it when you request a quote.
