Roofing Built for Arkansas Ag Operations
Arkansas is one of the country's leading poultry and agriculture states, and ag buildings put demands on a roof that a typical contractor is not set up for: long clear spans, constant interior moisture, corrosive environments, and operations that cannot simply shut down for a re-roof. SMI Roofing brings 35 years of commercial and metal roofing experience to poultry houses, barns, equipment and machine buildings, and agricultural processing facilities across the River Valley and statewide.
Poultry House Roofing
Poultry houses are long, low metal buildings where the roof works hard: heavy ventilation, constant humidity, and ammonia exposure all accelerate corrosion on an unprotected metal roof. SMI installs and repairs metal roof systems built for that environment and applies protective roof coatings that seal seams and fasteners, reflect heat to help with in-house temperature control, and extend the life of an existing roof — often at a fraction of replacement cost. When a roof has reached the end of its life, we re-roof with durable panel systems sized for the building.
Barns, Equipment & Metal Buildings
For barns, machine sheds, equipment storage, and other agricultural metal buildings, metal panel systems (R-panel, PBR panel) and standing seam metal deliver the best value: long spans, 30-50+ year durability, and minimal maintenance. We also repair storm and hail damage, replace failed fasteners and flashing, and recoat aging metal to stop leaks and add years of service.

Coatings That Extend Ag Roof Life
For metal ag roofs that are aging but structurally sound, a restoration coating is often the smartest investment. Coatings seal leaking seams and fastener penetrations, add a reflective layer that reduces heat gain, and can extend roof life by years — without the cost and operational disruption of a full tear-off.
Storm Response & Minimal Downtime
When hail or high winds hit an ag building, SMI documents the damage for your insurance claim and gets the roof watertight quickly. We schedule work around your operations — flock cycles, harvest, and livestock — to keep disruption to a minimum, and we keep dated photo records of every job for your files.
