Commercial Roofing for Manchester on I-24
McGuire Roofing serves Manchester as part of our Middle Tennessee work, about two hours and fifteen minutes from our Knoxville office by way of Chattanooga and I-24. Manchester, the Coffee County seat, had 12,212 residents in the 2020 Census.
Manchester has become a food and distribution town on I-24, halfway between Nashville and Chattanooga. Large cheese, food distribution and greenhouse operations have joined auto parts makers in two big industrial parks near the interstate.

Interstate Exposure and Food-Grade Buildings
Manchester gets hot, humid summers, spring storms with hail and wind, and mild winters with some ice. Large new roofs in open industrial parks catch the full force of wind, so perimeter and corner attachment matter. Food and cold storage buildings add a second risk: condensation and vapor drive that can wet insulation from below.
Manchester at a Glance for Commercial Building Owners
Manchester is in Coffee County and had 12,212 residents in the 2020 Census. A few things that shape its commercial roofs:
- Coffee County economic development describes the Manchester Industrial Park as about 405 acres, bought in 2005 and about two miles from I-24, with tenants including Great Lakes Cheese, Dot Foods and Little Leaf Farms.
- The state economic development department announced Dot Foods’ $50.5 million, 177,000-square-foot distribution center in Manchester with 171 jobs, and Little Leaf Farms’ $75 million greenhouse project with 318 jobs.
- Coffee County also markets the Coffee County Interstate Industrial Park, about 795 acres along I-24 exits 114 to 117, and the Middle Tennessee Industrial Development Association lists Kasai (about 610 employees), Viam (about 500) and Great Lakes Cheese (about 500) among Manchester’s largest employers.
In Manchester the fit is usually white TPO or PVC on food and cold storage roofs, TPO on distribution buildings, and metal restoration on older plants and shops.
Cold Storage, Food Processing and Big New Roofs
Cheese plants, cold storage and food distribution buildings need roofs that stay sealed against moisture from both sides. We look at vapor retarders, insulation and condensation along with the membrane, and use PVC or white TPO to keep cooling loads down. On newer warehouses still under warranty, we follow the manufacturer’s repair rules so the warranty stays in force.
Commercial Roofing Systems We Install in Manchester
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.

Manchester Commercial Roofing FAQ
Do you take commercial roofing projects in Manchester?
Yes. We serve Manchester and Coffee County as part of our Middle Tennessee work, with crews and material scheduled up front.
Can you roof a cold storage or freezer building?
Yes. We check vapor control and insulation along with the membrane, since condensation is a common cause of hidden roof damage in cold buildings.
Will repairs keep my warehouse roof warranty?
We follow the manufacturer’s repair procedures and materials so the warranty stays in force, and we document the work.
Do you serve Tullahoma, McMinnville and nearby towns?
Yes. See our Tullahoma and McMinnville pages, and call about Hillsboro, Beechgrove and other nearby communities.
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.
