Roofing in Manila, AR
On 16 April 1998 an F4 tornado formed just west of Manila and came straight through it. Four hundred yards wide, it destroyed homes and mobile homes, killed two children in one of them, flattened a discount department store and a filling station, and took down three small factory and machine shop buildings along with a furniture store.
Thirty years earlier, on 15 May 1968, another F4 passed within half a mile. Those two tracks are the whole of Manila's significant tornado history and both are decades old, which is worth knowing when somebody knocks and speaks about recent storms without giving you a date.
Manila's actual live exposure is smaller hail than its neighbors get. The largest stone ever measured here is one and three quarter inches, on 22 May 1977 and again in 1982 and 2020. Lake City, sixteen miles west, has a four-inch record. Hail damage in Manila is a bruising argument, not an obvious one.
The city's own web address resolves to a parked advertising page rather than a government site, which means the permit process, the fee schedule and the inspector's name are not published anywhere you can check. Call City Hall and get the answer from a person before any crew is scheduled.
Median home value here is 172,000 dollars, a figure only Paragould beats among the towns listed on this site, on housing whose median build year is 1983. Eighty-three percent is single-family detached, only five percent is manufactured, and seventy percent of occupied homes are owned rather than rented. The Herman Davis Memorial and the old railroad depot are National Register listings, not a district, and neither reaches a private roof.
The Big Lake bottoms sit right beside the town and the water table runs close to the surface there. Burying a downspout drain in ground like that is a poor idea, because the pipe fills from below in a wet spring and then backs up at the outlet nearest the house.
So the answer on this side of the county is surface conveyance, properly sloped, ending on stone where you can see whether it is working. That is the opposite of what we would recommend on a ridge lot in Jonesboro, and it is the sort of thing that has to be decided at your address rather than in an office.
About Manila, AR — and why local matters here
Manila sits in Mississippi County with a population of roughly 3,682, close enough to Jonesboro that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include Big Lake National Wildlife Refuge, the Arkansas Highway 18 and 77 junction.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Manila properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Mississippi County, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.

Roofing work we do in Manila, AR
Jonesboro Premium Roofing covers the same range of work in Manila that we do in Jonesboro — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Wind Damage Roofing — Wind reaches Jonesboro across a hundred miles of very little. The Delta east of here is flat, open farm ground, and the ridge is the first thing standing in the way of it, so the crest streets take a harder hit than a flat map of the county would suggest.
- Roof Inspections — Our inspection finishes on the ground, which is not how most of them work. We walk every discharge point, look at the soil directly below it, and photograph what we find there before we write a single word about your shingles.
- Asphalt Shingle Roofs — For almost any house in Jonesboro, asphalt shingle is simply the correct roof, and we say so as people who also sell metal. It handles the heat, it takes hail better than tile does, and when it eventually fails it fails cheaply and locally.
- Metal Roofing — We will put a metal roof on your house on one condition: the house has a full gutter system. No exceptions on a sloped ridge lot.
- Tile Roofing — Consider this the page where we talk you out of a product on our own price list. If you live in Jonesboro and you are considering tile for a house that has never had it, our advice is don't.
- Flat & Low-Slope Roofing — Low slope turns up here in two places: the porch or rear addition on an older ridge house, and the back half of most downtown buildings. In both cases the failure is at the edge or the outlet, not out in the field where people look first.
