According to the City of Covington, Covington is the county seat of Tipton County and the largest of its eight incorporated communities. U.S. Highway 51 runs north to south through the heart of the city, with Interstate 40 about 20 miles away and Interstate 55 about 30 miles away. Warehouses, plants, clinics and offices in and around town all depend on a roof that stays dry.
Commercial Roofing Rana helps Covington property owners and facility managers protect those roofs. We inspect the roof, explain what we find in plain language and recommend the repair, coating or replacement that fits your building and your budget. Our nearest office is in Memphis, and we schedule free inspections for Covington properties on request.
Summers here are hot and humid, and rain is frequent. Heat and sun wear down membranes and sealants, and heavy rain finds weak seams, failed flashing and clogged drains. Severe storms have also hit the city directly. The National Weather Service rated the March 31, 2023 tornado that struck Covington an EF3, reporting that several businesses along Highway 51 suffered heavy damage and that the middle and elementary schools along Mark Walker Jr. Drive were damaged (NWS Memphis). Smaller wind and hail events do quieter damage that is hard to see from the ground.
Covington’s roofs fall into a few groups. The same city page lists Baptist Memorial Hospital-Tipton and Covington High School among the town’s major institutions, and those large buildings call for careful roof planning. Warehouse and industrial buildings, with their wide, low-slope roofs, are a different job again, and older downtown commercial buildings often need repairs that respect what is already there.
The edges, curbs, walls and penetrations where leaks usually start, sealed so water stays out.
Repair or replacement of damaged or rotted roof decking so the new roof sits on a solid base.
The right system depends on your building, budget and how long you plan to own it. We install TPO, PVC, flat roofing systems, metal roofing and steep slope roofing for Covington properties. Duro-Tech TPO is a popular choice for large, low-slope roofs because it reflects heat and goes down in large, factory-made sections with fewer field seams.
Wide, low-slope roofs that protect stock and keep operations moving.
Large roofs over production areas where a leak can stop work.
Roofing planned around patients, staff and strict schedules.
Roofs that protect storefronts, tenants and customers.
Careful repairs and replacements for older commercial buildings.
Roofs that protect tenants, customers and congregations.
