Commercial Roofing in Oak Ridge, TN
Commercial Roofing for Oak Ridge Industrial, Research-Support, Office, Retail and Multi-Family Buildings
Commercial Roofing for Oak Ridge and Anderson County
McGuire Roofing is based in Knoxville, about half an hour from Oak Ridge, so commercial roofing here is close to home for our crews. We can reach Oak Ridge buildings quickly for inspections, repairs and maintenance as well as full replacements.
Oak Ridge has a commercial building stock unlike anywhere else in the state. The city grew up around federal research and manufacturing, and today many businesses support the Department of Energy sites and national laboratory: engineering and technical offices, light industrial and fabrication shops, warehouses and flex buildings in the city’s industrial and technology parks. Add retail and restaurants along the Oak Ridge Turnpike and Illinois Avenue, medical buildings, schools, churches and a growing number of apartments. Many buildings date from the mid-twentieth century and have older built-up, modified bitumen or metal roofs.

What East Tennessee Weather Does to Oak Ridge Roofs
Oak Ridge shares the Knoxville valley’s weather: hot, humid summers, plenty of rain, spring and summer thunderstorms that can bring hail and strong winds, and winters with occasional snow and ice. Tree cover on the ridges around many buildings means leaves and debris clog drains and gutters. On older roofs, heavy rain exposes worn flashings, split seams and deteriorated parapet coping.
Working With Contractor Requirements and Older Buildings
Many Oak Ridge owners and tenants have their own safety, documentation and access requirements. We work to the site’s rules, provide written scopes and photo documentation, and plan work around occupants. On older buildings we often start with a moisture survey to see whether a recover is possible or a tear-off is needed. Johns Manville TPO, PVC and modified bitumen are our usual choices for low-slope replacement, with R-panel and standing seam metal for metal buildings.
Commercial Roofing Systems We Install in Oak Ridge
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.

Oak Ridge Commercial Roofing FAQ
How quickly can you get to Oak Ridge?
Oak Ridge is about half an hour from our Knoxville office, so we can usually schedule inspections and repairs quickly. Our phone is answered 24/7 at (865) 338-7663.
Can you meet our site safety and documentation requirements?
Tell us what your site requires and we will review it before bidding. We provide written scopes, photo documentation and follow our own roofing safety practices on every job.
Do you replace old built-up roofs on mid-century buildings?
Yes. We inspect the deck and insulation, then recommend a tear-off and new system or, where the roof is dry and codes allow, a recover.
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.
