What Lake and Ridge Weather Does to Dayton Roofs
Dayton sits between Walden Ridge and the lakes of the Tennessee River, where humid summers, fog and heavy afternoon storms are normal. Big low-slope roofs collect a lot of water fast, so drains, scuppers and roof slope matter more than anything. Winters are milder than in the upper valley but still bring a few ice and freeze-thaw events that stress older flashing and seams.
Dayton at a Glance for Commercial Building Owners
Dayton is in Rhea County and had 7,065 residents in the 2020 Census. A few things that shape its commercial roofs:
- Rhea County economic development notes that Dayton manages its own industrial park, home to manufacturers including La-Z-Boy, TenCate, Nokian Tyres and Baltimore Aircoil.
- The state economic development department reported that La-Z-Boy has operated in Dayton since 1973, with about 1,400 employees at what is Rhea County’s largest employer and the company’s largest plant.
- Nokian Tyres chose Dayton for a $360 million, 830,000-square-foot tire plant with at least 400 jobs, according to the state economic development department.
- Rhea County economic development notes that Dayton is served by its own electric department and municipal water and sewer service for the Dayton Industrial Park, with wastewater capacity being expanded.
In Dayton the fit is usually TPO on large plant and distribution roofs, PVC near process exhaust, and metal restoration or retrofit on older steel buildings.
Very Large Plant Roofs and Multi-Building Campuses
Plants the size of Dayton’s largest can have many acres of roof in sections of different ages, so we map each section with core cuts and moisture scans, mark which ones are leaking now and which have years left, and give the plant a phased schedule it can budget for. TPO from Johns Manville suits most assembly and warehouse sections, PVC suits areas where curing or process exhaust lands on the roof, and restoration coatings or retrofit systems for older metal sections. Medical, school and church buildings get quieter, carefully staged work.
Commercial Roofing Systems We Install in Dayton
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.

Can my existing commercial roof be coated instead of replaced?
