Commercial Roofing in Seymour, TN
Commercial Roofing for Seymour Retail Centers, Churches, Offices and Metal Shop Buildings on Chapman Highway
Commercial Roofing for Seymour, Between Knoxville and Sevierville
McGuire Roofing serves Seymour from our Knoxville office, about 35 to 40 minutes away depending on the route. Seymour is an unincorporated community in the northwest corner of Sevier County and the northeast corner of Blount County, and the Census Bureau counted 14,705 people in the Seymour CDP in 2020.
Most of Seymour’s commercial buildings sit along Chapman Highway and near its junction with US-411 and Boyds Creek Highway: grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, restaurants, auto parts and service shops, churches and schools. Around them are many pre-engineered metal buildings used as shops, contractor yards and storage.

Foothills Storms and Long Metal Roof Runs
Seymour sits in a rolling valley where the Smoky Mountain foothills meet the ridges, with Bluff Mountain to the south. Storms moving off the mountains can bring heavy rain and gusty wind, and temperatures swing widely between warm afternoons and cold nights. Those swings work fasteners loose on metal buildings, and wind gets under edge metal and lifts it on low-slope roofs.
Seymour at a Glance for Commercial Building Owners
Seymour is in Sevier and Blount counties and had 14,705 (Seymour CDP) residents in the 2020 Census. A few things that shape its commercial roofs:
- Seymour began as Newell’s Station, a frontier station from 1783, and took its present name after the Knoxville, Sevierville and Eastern Railway reached it in 1909.
- Near the center of Seymour, Chapman Highway (US-441) meets US-411 from Maryville and Boyds Creek Highway (State Route 338), then runs on to Sevierville.
- TDOT reports that Chapman Highway was originally built in the 1930s and has been improved in six phases, including widening from Macon Lane to Boyds Creek Highway in Seymour, completed in August 2023.
In Seymour the usual fit is TPO from Johns Manville on retail and office roofs, metal restoration or a retrofit roof over older steel buildings, PVC near restaurant exhaust, and coatings on sound roofs that need more years.
Roadside Retail and Metal Shop Buildings
Along Chapman Highway, customer-facing buildings need repairs done without blocking parking or entrances. We stage on the far side of the lot and work during slower hours. Seymour also has many metal shop and warehouse buildings whose panels are still sound but whose screws, washers, laps and skylights have worn out. For those, we often price a fastener and seam restoration with a coating next to a full retrofit, so the owner can compare cost and service life.
Commercial Roofing Systems We Install in Seymour
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.

Seymour Commercial Roofing FAQ
Do you take commercial roofing projects in Seymour?
Yes. We serve both the Sevier County and Blount County sides of Seymour from our Knoxville office.
Can you fix a leaking metal shop roof without replacing it?
Often, yes. Replacing worn fasteners, sealing laps and skylights, and adding a coating can extend the life of panels that are still sound. We confirm that with an inspection first.
Can you keep a store open during roof work?
Yes. We keep entrances and most parking open, stage material away from customers and close the roof up at the end of each day.
Do you also serve Sevierville, Kodak and South Knoxville?
Yes. See our Sevierville and Knoxville commercial pages, and call about Kodak, Boyds Creek and other nearby areas.
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.
