A properly installed metal roof in Tennessee can easily outlast two or three asphalt roofs — and look better doing it. The catch is 'properly installed': fastener spacing, flashing details, and underlayment choice decide whether you get 40 years of performance or 10 years of leaks.

We install both concealed-fastener standing-seam systems and exposed-fastener ribbed panels. For each project we spec the panel gauge, coating, and clip spacing around your specific roof — pitch, exposure, and local wind loads all factor in.

If your roof is already leaking, we can often spot the failure point from the attic. Metal roof repair is one of our most-requested jobs and something we happily take on — full replacement is never our first recommendation when a targeted repair will do.

Sound familiar?

The headaches we hear about — and how we fix them.

Your shingle roof is patched and streaked, and you're tired of climbing up after every storm.

A standing-seam metal roof ends the cycle — 40 to 70 years, built for Tennessee weather.

You've heard metal roofs are loud and you're not sure the cost is worth it.

Installed over solid decking and insulation, it is no louder than shingles — and usually cheaper per year of life.

A storm-chaser knocked on your door and you don't trust the quote.

We're local, licensed, and here next year. We'll walk your roof and tell you honestly how much life is left.

Exposed-Fastener (R-Panel)

Screw-down ribbed panels. Great value for barns, shops, and budget-conscious homes.

$8–$12 / sq ft

Hidden-fastener premium system. Longest lifespan, cleanest look — ideal for primary residences.

$14–$20 / sq ft

Tear-off (add)

Removing the old roof down to clean decking

Frequently Asked

Metal Roofing FAQ.

How long does a metal roof last in Tennessee?

A properly installed standing seam roof with Kynar coating can last 40–70 years. Exposed-fastener panels typically run 25–40 years. Both far outlive a standard asphalt roof, especially in TN humidity and storm exposure.

Standing seam vs. exposed fastener — which should I choose?

Standing seam costs more but has no exposed screws to fail, gives the cleanest look, and lasts longest — it's what we recommend for primary residences. Exposed-fastener panels are a great value for barns, shops, and outbuildings where budget matters more than aesthetics.

Can you install metal over my existing shingle roof?

Sometimes yes. If the deck is sound and local code allows, we can install over one existing layer with proper underlayment and furring strips. For most homes we recommend a full tear-off — it lets us inspect the deck and usually isn't much more.

Will a metal roof make my house hotter?

Just the opposite. Painted metal reflects solar heat far better than dark asphalt, and proper attic ventilation keeps the roof deck cooler. Most of our customers see a noticeable drop in summer cooling bills.

Does a metal roof reduce my insurance?

Usually yes. Most Tennessee homeowners' policies offer a discount for Class 4 impact-rated metal roofing. We'll provide a manufacturer certificate for you to submit to your insurer.
