What Two-Lake Weather Does to Jefferson County Roofs
With Douglas Lake on one side and Cherokee Lake on the other, Jefferson County gets humid summers, fog, and fast-moving thunderstorms with heavy rain and gusty wind. Winters bring occasional ice and freeze-thaw. On food processing and packaging plants, steam and exhaust on the roof add moisture and residue that wear membranes faster, and on older metal buildings the usual problems are loose fasteners, rust at laps and leaks around skylights.
Jefferson City at a Glance for Commercial Building Owners
Jefferson City is in Jefferson County and had 8,419 residents in the 2020 Census. A few things that shape its commercial roofs:
- The Jefferson County Alliance lists Bush’s Beans (founded in Jefferson County in 1903), Overman International, Matsuo, Sonoco metal packaging, Oshkosh, TRU manufactured homes, Rugel Church Furnishings, English Mountain Spring Water and Old Dominion Freight Line among the county’s industries.
- The Jefferson City Industrial Development Board oversees the Jefferson City Industrial Park and the Jefferson City Industrial Complex, with more than 100 acres of developed property available, several tracts with rail access.
- The Jefferson County Alliance notes that Nyrstar zinc mines in the county are part of its worldwide operations.
- Jefferson County lies along I-40 and I-81, with Dandridge on Douglas Lake and Jefferson City on US-11E near Cherokee Lake.
In Jefferson County the fit is usually PVC on food and packaging plants, TPO on assembly, furniture and freight buildings, and metal restoration on older steel buildings.
Food Processing, Packaging and Furniture Plant Roofs
Food and packaging plants have sanitation rules, steam vents and grease or residue on the roof, and PVC from Johns Manville or Duro-Last handles that exposure well. Furniture and assembly plants and freight buildings with big, open roofs are often a good fit for Johns Manville TPO, with careful attention to drains and edges. We phase work around production and dock schedules and keep each section watertight before moving on. Campus and downtown buildings often mix flat roofs with slate, shingle or metal steep-slope areas, which we handle together.
Commercial Roofing Systems We Install in Jefferson City
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.
