Commercial Roofing in East Tennessee
Commercial Roof Repair, Replacement and Maintenance from Chattanooga to the Tri-Cities and Everywhere Between
Commercial Roofing Across East Tennessee
East Tennessee is home for McGuire Roofing. Our office is in Knoxville, and our commercial crews work on warehouses, manufacturing plants, offices, medical and university buildings, churches, schools, hotels and retail centers from Chattanooga up the I-75 and I-40 corridors to Morristown and the Tri-Cities on I-81.
The region’s roofs face a lot: plenty of rain, spring and summer thunderstorms, and colder, icier winters the farther you go up the valley toward Virginia. Older industrial and downtown buildings often have layered roofs and worn parapet flashing, while newer distribution and retail buildings carry large single-ply roofs that need clear drains and solid edge metal. Being based here means shorter drives, faster inspections and one contractor that knows how these buildings age.

East Tennessee Cities We Serve, by County
Knoxville area (Knox, Anderson, Blount and Sevier counties)
Our home base. Knoxville, Farragut, Oak Ridge, Clinton, Maryville, Alcoa, Sevierville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are all within about an hour of our office, so inspections, leak calls and maintenance visits are easy to schedule. Buildings range from downtown masonry and university and medical campuses to research and industrial facilities, airport-area plants and the hotels, theaters, resorts and retail centers on the way to the Smokies. North of the city, Halls and Powell add strip centers, churches, medical offices and Emory Road retail, and Seymour, on Chapman Highway toward Sevierville, adds roadside retail and metal shop buildings.

Tri-Cities (Washington, Sullivan and Carter counties, plus Bristol, Virginia)
Johnson City leans on healthcare and higher education, Kingsport on chemical and industrial plants, and Bristol on retail, hospitality and industrial parks, with Bristol, Virginia right across State Street. Elizabethton adds hand-tool, steel-building and metalworking plants, Jonesborough pairs a historic Main Street with the Telford industrial park, and Erwin has plastics, bearing and nuclear fuel plants. Winters here are colder than in Knoxville, with more ice and freeze-thaw.

East Tennessee Weather and Commercial Roofs
From the Chattanooga area to Bristol, elevation rises and winters get colder. Freeze-thaw cycles open seams and flashing, ice blocks drains on flat roofs, and mountain-edge towns like Sevierville get heavier downpours and gusty wind. In summer, heat and humidity age membranes and coatings, and heavy rain tests every drain and scupper.
Commercial Roofing Systems We Install in East Tennessee
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.
