Commercial Roofing in Morristown, TN
Commercial Roofing for Morristown Manufacturing Plants, Warehouses, Retail and Healthcare Buildings
Commercial Roofing for Morristown and Hamblen County
McGuire Roofing serves Morristown from our Knoxville office, about 45 minutes to an hour northeast on I-40 and I-81. Morristown had 30,431 residents in the 2020 Census, but its industrial base is far bigger than that number suggests: the state counts more than 100 manufacturers in Morristown.
That means a lot of Morristown’s commercial roof area is on plants and warehouses, many of them in the city’s three industrial parks, with retail, healthcare and schools making up the rest. Plant roofs here range from older built-up and metal roofs on mid-century buildings to newer single-ply on large recent facilities.

What Lakeway Weather Does to Morristown Roofs
Morristown sits between the Holston and Nolichucky valleys near Cherokee and Douglas lakes. Summers are hot and humid with heavy thunderstorms, and winters bring periodic ice and freeze-thaw. On large plant roofs, heavy rain tests drains and interior gutters, and on older metal buildings the usual problems are backed-out fasteners, rust at laps and failed sealant around skylights and vents.
Morristown at a Glance for Commercial Building Owners
Morristown is in Hamblen County and had 30,431 residents in the 2020 Census. A few things that shape its commercial roofs:
- Morristown’s industrial parks include the East Tennessee Valley Industrial District and the Airport Industrial Park, and its third park, the East Tennessee Progress Center, covers more than 900 acres next to I-81 Exit 8.
- Lot 12 at the East Tennessee Progress Center, an 86-acre graded site, was named a Select Tennessee Certified Site in January 2023.
- Morristown Utility Systems runs a city fiber network that serves businesses in the industrial parks.
- OTICS USA, an automotive parts maker, has its U.S. headquarters on Interstate View Drive in Morristown.
In Morristown the fit is often TPO on large plants and warehouses, PVC for food processing and exhaust areas, and metal restoration on older industrial buildings.
Roofs for Plants That Cannot Shut Down
Most Morristown plants run long shifts, so we phase re-roofing by section, protect production lines and keep every section watertight before moving on. Food processing and plants with process exhaust are often best served by PVC from Johns Manville or Duro-Last. Large distribution and assembly buildings are usually a good fit for Johns Manville TPO. For older metal roofs, a restoration with fastener replacement, seam reinforcement and coating can add years at a lower cost than replacement when the panels are sound.
Commercial Roofing Systems We Install in Morristown
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.

Morristown Commercial Roofing FAQ
Do you take commercial roofing projects in Morristown?
Yes. Morristown is about 45 minutes to an hour from our Knoxville office, so it fits easily into our regular commercial schedule.
Can you roof a food processing plant?
Yes. We look at sanitation rules, exhaust and grease on the roof and production schedules, and PVC is often the right membrane for those buildings.
Do you also do residential roofing in Morristown?
Yes. See our residential page for Morristown homes; this page covers commercial and industrial buildings.
Can you inspect several buildings in the same industrial park?
Yes. We can inspect and report on multiple buildings for one owner and set up a maintenance program with photo reports.
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.
