Commercial Roofing in the Little Rock Air Force Base Corridor
Jacksonville's commercial market is defined by its relationship with Little Rock Air Force Base (LRAFB) — home to the 19th Airlift Wing and more than 7,000 military and civilian personnel. The gate-adjacent commercial zone along US-67/167 includes retail, hospitality, storage, and service businesses that serve the base population. Baptist Health North anchors the healthcare segment north of Little Rock, while the Jacksonville Main Street corridor carries the city's established commercial inventory of retail, professional services, and light industrial buildings.
The Jacksonville Industrial Development Corp has supported commercial and light industrial development in the city for decades, creating a mix of older warehouse and manufacturing buildings alongside newer commercial construction. Pulaski County Technical College's North Pulaski campus adds institutional roofing demand, and the North Hills district contributes additional retail square footage. The US-67/167 commercial corridor continues north toward Cabot, with Jacksonville properties benefiting from traffic from both directions.
SMI Roofing brings 35 years of Pulaski County commercial roofing experience to Jacksonville projects — knowledge of the county's building inspection requirements, the weather patterns that affect north Pulaski commercial properties, and the roofing systems best suited to each building type in this market.
Commercial Roof Systems for Jacksonville Businesses
Jacksonville's commercial building stock — storage facilities, retail strip centers, medical offices, and light industrial — calls for diverse roofing solutions. For storage facilities and warehouse buildings near LRAFB, metal panel systems offer maximum durability with minimal long-term maintenance requirements. For retail centers and medical offices along the US-67/167 corridor, TPO roofing is the standard specification — energy-efficient, highly reflective, and backed by NDL manufacturer warranties up to 30 years. EPDM roofing is well-suited to buildings with complex penetration layouts, while older Jacksonville commercial buildings with aging flat roofs are strong candidates for roof coatings and restoration, which extends service life by 10-20 years at a fraction of full replacement cost.
