Meet the Owners
Crawford Residential and Industrial Repair is a family-owned roofing company in Jackson led by Blake Crawford and Derek Miller. Both bring years of hands-on experience in roofing, construction and home improvement, and together they have built a reputation for honesty, professionalism and attention to detail.
When you request an inspection, you deal with the people whose name is on the truck. They know the weather Jackson homes go through and the aging roofs it works on, and they will tell you straight whether you need a repair, a replacement, or nothing yet.
The “Industrial” in Crawford Residential and Industrial Repair is there for a reason. Alongside the homes we roof across Madison, Gibson and Dyer Counties, we work on the roofs of businesses: storefronts, restaurants and other commercial and industrial buildings. Commercial roofs fail in different places than house roofs, and the cost of a leak is different too. Water over a sales floor, an office or stored inventory costs a business money every day it goes unfixed.
Most commercial buildings in Jackson and the surrounding towns sit under flat or low-slope roofs, or under metal panels. Those roofs don’t shed water the way a steep shingle roof does, so every seam, every flashing detail and every penetration has to stay tight. When one of them lets go, the leak inside often shows up feet away from where the water got in. Finding the real entry point is most of the job.
What We Do
As a commercial roofing company based in Jackson, we handle the repair and upkeep work that keeps a business roof watertight.

How It Works
Every commercial job starts on the roof, not with a quote over the phone. We walk the whole surface, check the seams and the flashing at every wall and penetration, look for ponding and wet spots, and match what we see on top with where the water is showing up inside.
We photograph everything we find. You get a clear record of the roof’s condition, what failed and why, and a written estimate before any work starts. If the damage came from a storm, the same photos support your insurance claim. If you lease the building, they give the owner and the tenant one shared picture of the roof.
Then we tell you straight whether the roof needs a repair, more maintenance, or a plan for replacement down the road. A roof with a few bad details usually doesn’t need to be replaced, and we won’t sell you one.
Commercial Roof Types
Most commercial roofs in West Tennessee fall into a few families. Single-ply membranes such as TPO and EPDM cover a lot of low-slope buildings; they fail mostly at seams and flashings. Modified bitumen is a layered, asphalt-based roof that wears at its laps and around penetrations. Metal panel roofs cover everything from shops and warehouses to restaurant patios and canopies; their weak points are fasteners, seams and the sealant around them as the metal expands and contracts through Tennessee’s hot summers and freeze-thaw winters.
Each one has its own repair methods, and patching a roof with the wrong material creates the next leak. Before we recommend anything, we identify what’s on your building and how it was installed, then repair it with materials that work with it.
Maintenance
A commercial roof rarely fails all at once. It fails one seam, one flashing or one clogged drain at a time, and the damage spreads underneath while nobody is looking. Scheduled inspections, ideally in spring before storm season and again in the fall, catch those small failures while they are still small repairs.
A maintenance visit covers clearing debris from drains and gutters, checking and re-sealing flashings and penetrations, tightening or replacing failed fasteners on metal roofs, and noting anything that needs attention before it turns into a leak. We photograph what we find, so you have a running record of the roof for budgeting and for your insurance company.
FAQ
Commercial roofing is roofing work on buildings used for business rather than as a home, such as shops, offices, restaurants, warehouses, industrial buildings and multi-tenant properties. Most of those buildings have flat or low-slope roofs covered by a membrane or metal panels instead of the steep shingle roofs on houses, so the materials, the leak points and the repair methods are different.
It depends on the building. Low-slope roofs are usually single-ply membranes (TPO or EPDM) or modified bitumen; metal panel roofs suit low-slope and pitched commercial buildings and last a long time when the fasteners and seams are kept up. The right choice depends on the roof deck, the slope, what sits on the roof and how long you plan to own the building. We look at what is on your roof now and explain the options before recommending anything.
First find where the water is actually getting in, which is often not where it shows up inside. On flat roofs the usual culprits are open seams, failed flashing at walls and curbs, cracked sealant around penetrations like vents and HVAC units, and ponding water that works into weak spots. The repair is to dry and clean the area, then patch or re-seal the membrane or panels and rebuild the flashing so the detail sheds water again.
Commercial roofs commonly last somewhere between 15 and 30 years depending on the material, and well-kept metal roofs often go longer. Ponding water, foot traffic, storm damage and skipped maintenance shorten that. Regular inspections and small repairs are what push a roof toward the long end of its life instead of an early replacement.
It depends on the roof type, the size and access of the area, and what has failed underneath. A seam or flashing repair is a very different job from replacing wet insulation across a section. We inspect the roof first, photograph what we find, and give you a written estimate before any work starts, so you know the scope and the price up front.
Your lease decides that. Many commercial leases make the landlord responsible for the roof structure and replacement and the tenant responsible for reporting leaks or for routine maintenance, but terms vary widely, so check the repair and maintenance sections of your lease. Either way, we can inspect the roof and document the condition with photos that both the owner and the tenant can work from.
Where We Work
We’re based in Jackson and work on commercial roofs throughout the towns we serve, including Humboldt, Milan, Medina, Trenton and Dyersburg. If your building is nearby and not on that list, call and ask.
For homes, our residential roofing team handles everything from roof repair to full roof replacement. If you’re not sure what shape your roof is in, start with a roof inspection. When a storm has just opened up a roof, our emergency roofing crew secures it first, and roof maintenance keeps it from happening again.
