The BancorpSouth Main Office in downtown Jackson required a complex re-roofing project across multiple roof elevations, each with distinct conditions. Independent Roofing delivered a tailored approach for each section — from overlays to full tear-offs — while managing material staging and pedestrian safety in a high-traffic urban setting.

Challenge / Objective

This multi-roof project presented several logistical and environmental challenges:

• Roofs at multiple elevations, each requiring a different system approach 
• Scope varied from full tear-off to system overlays, depending on existing conditions 
• Urban location with heavy foot traffic, requiring precise material loading/staging 
• Winter winds created additional safety hazards for rooftop work and material management
  

Notable Features

• Multi-system install across multiple roof levels 
• Drainage upgrades including new roof drains and tapered insulation 
• Urban staging and pedestrian zone protection 
• Winter-weather safety planning and execution 
• Zero safety incidents on a logistically complex project
  

Solution

Our approach was customized roof-by-roof:

• Tear-off and replace on roofs with saturated or failing assemblies 
• Overlay systems used where insulation and membrane were still performing 
• Installed tapered insulation systems to promote drainage and minimize ponding 
• Integrated new roof drains, edge metal, and coping to ensure watertight performance 
• Sequenced loading and unloading during off-peak pedestrian hours to ensure safety 
• Enforced strict material tie-down protocols during high-wind conditions
