West Memphis is the largest town in Crittenden County, and it sits on the west bank of the Mississippi River where I-40 and I-55 meet, which has made it a major trucking center, according to the Encyclopedia of Arkansas. A trucking hub like this keeps a steady mix of warehouses, terminals, shops, offices and public buildings in use, and every one of them depends on a roof that stays dry.
Commercial Roofing Rana helps West Memphis 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. We are based in Memphis, and we schedule free inspections for West Memphis properties on request.
Heat, sun and heavy rain are hard on any commercial roof. During the December 10 to 11, 2021 storms, the National Weather Service in Memphis reported a line of storms producing damaging winds up to 60 to 70 mph across the Memphis metro area, with a mesovortex developing over West Memphis. Strong winds can lift edges and loosen fasteners, while smaller wind events do quieter damage that is hard to see from the ground. Heat and sun wear down membranes and sealants, and heavy rain finds weak seams, failed flashing and clogged drains.
West Memphis roofs fall into a few groups. Large warehouses, distribution buildings and industrial facilities usually have wide flat or metal roofs, and small changes in drainage or seams can add up over a big roof. Shops, offices and medical buildings often have low-slope membrane roofs. Churches and schools may have steep slope roofs. Older buildings of every type often carry roofs that have been patched over the years and deserve a close look.
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, steep slope roofing and tile roofing. 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.

Often, yes. A coating can restore a roof that is aging but still structurally sound, and it avoids the cost and disruption of a tear-off.
It depends on the system, the building and how well the roof is maintained. Regular inspections and quick repairs are the best way to get the full life out of a roof.
