About The Metal Roofers

The Metal Roofers Story

The Metal Roofers grew out of a simple Tennessee truth. If you take care of a home long enough, you learn what really matters and what simply hides the problem for a little while. More than twenty years ago, we were a painting and handyman crew. We worked in living rooms, kitchens, and hallways where you could tell a family had made a life. We patched drywall, repaired trim, re-caulked windows, and repainted ceilings that showed the same familiar shadow. Water stains. Always the same story, just a different address. We could make it look clean again, but we knew what that stain meant and we knew it would return if the roof above it wasn’t fixed the right way.

Those years taught us to respect the “why,” not just the “what.” You can repair the inside of a home a dozen different ways, but it will only stay strong and dry as long as the roof system is doing its job. That’s when our work naturally moved upward. We started studying roofs like craftsmen, not like salesmen. Where water actually travels. How flashing details succeed or fail. What ventilation does to moisture and air quality. How heat and cold move through an attic. We wanted to stop seeing homeowners pay twice, first for the leak and then for the cleanup. We wanted to solve the cause, not keep painting over the evidence.

From the beginning, our standard was simple. If we were going to put a roof on a home, it needed to be something we’d be proud to drive past ten years later. A roof is the crown of your property, the first thing your neighbors see when you pull into the driveway and the one thing your home cannot do without. But it’s also the shield that protects everything beneath it, the framing, the insulation, the drywall, the floors, the keepsakes, and the rooms where your family lives. When that shield is weak, the whole home pays for it. When it’s built right, it protects for generations.

That’s why we chose to focus. We believe the best work comes from committing to a craft and doing one thing the right way, every time. Metal is our craft. Metal isn’t forgiving and it isn’t “close enough.” It expands and contracts. It moves with temperature swings. It demands clean details at valleys, walls, chimneys, skylights, and transitions. The fasteners, the underlayment, the ventilation plan, the flashings, the way panels are formed and laid, all of it matters. We approach roofs like metalworkers because that’s what a truly great metal roof requires. Respect for the material, respect for the physics, and respect for the home it’s protecting.

There’s also a reason we love metal in Tennessee. In Nashville, roofs take a beating. Heavy rain, wind, hail storms, hot summers, cold snaps, and big temperature swings that make materials work and move. A properly designed metal roof handles those cycles differently than disposable asphalt shingle roofs. It sheds water fast, holds its shape, and keeps performing year after year when the details are done right. That long-term performance is the point. We’re not interested in installing something that looks decent today but is designed to be replaced later. We build roofs for homeowners who want the last roof they ever have to buy.

That mindset guides everything we do, from how we talk to you to how we finish the final trim. We take pride in clean lines and correct details because the small things become the big things over time. We obsess over the transitions because that’s where roofs either earn their reputation or lose it. We explain what we’re doing because a roof shouldn’t be mysterious and you should know what’s protecting your home. And we work with the kind of steady care you’d expect from a Tennessee family business that plans on being here the next time you need us, even if that day is far down the road.

At the end of the day, we’re still the same kind of company we were at the start. We show up, we do the work right, and we treat your home like it matters. The difference is that we’ve put our full attention into one craft, and we’ve built our name around a material we trust. A metal roof should be bought once in your lifetime. Our job is to make sure it’s built like that from the first detail to the last. That's why our mottos is "Don't Settle For Less Than Metal".

We partner with trusted regional suppliers who share our values of craftsmanship, reliability, and long-term durability. This means your roof isn’t built from overseas imports or low-grade materials, it’s crafted from American steel engineered to last for generations.

"These guys were amazing!! Material was dropped off in the morning and by 2 pm they were finished and everything was cleaned up. We even got the new 6 inch gutters with the screens and it looks fabulous. Financing was very simple, payments are affordable and the owner himself came out to our house for final inspection. Couldn't have asked for better service."

Common Questions

‍Most Nashville homes are designed around ~115 mph wind guidance, but exposure varies a lot from Belle Meade hills to the open corridors near I-24 by Antioch. Homes near Percy Priest Lake, the ridge pockets around Forest Hills, and higher elevations in West Meade can see stronger uplift than shaded lots in Sylvan Park. We spec panel profiles and clip/fastener schedules to the manufacturer’s tested uplift ratings based on roof height, pitch, and the exact exposure of your street and lot.

‍With solid decking and modern underlayments, rain noise is comparable to architectural shingles. Adding attic insulation and balanced ventilation helps even more, especially for homes in East Nashville near Shelby Park and in older neighborhoods like Lockeland Springs where roof assemblies vary from house to house.

‍No, metal doesn’t attract lightning. If a strike occurs, metal disperses energy across the surface. For taller homes near 12 South or multi-story builds around The Gulch, we can coordinate code-compliant grounding details when your electrician recommends it.

‍Severe hail can cause cosmetic dimples, but standing seam and interlocking systems stay watertight. We offer impact-rated Class 4 options and reinforce valleys and penetrations, important for rooflines common in Green Hills, Brentwood-adjacent areas, and steep transitions in Germantown renovations.

‍Ice damming is limited, but shaded eaves and north slopes benefit, especially where mature trees shade roof edges in Belmont-Hillsboro, Richland-West End, and parts of Inglewood. We often install high-temp self-adhered membrane at eaves/valleys and around skylights for added security.

‍Most replacements require a roofing permit through Metro Nashville / Davidson County. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and provide close-out documentation for your records and future insurance needs.

‍Typical lead times run 2–4 weeks (season/HOA dependent). A 1-story ranch (25–35 squares) installs in 2–4 days; a two-story complex roof (40–55 squares) typically runs 4–6 days, with weather contingency built in.

‍Yes. PVDF “cool roof” colors reflect solar heat; paired with balanced soffit + ridge ventilation, attics run cooler in July/August, especially on west-facing roof planes near Charlotte Pike, Harding Pike, and the Nolensville Pike corridor.

‍In most homes, no. Signal enters through windows and openings; mesh networks or a window-adjacent router fixes weak spots in larger homes, common in Belle Meade and newer builds near Music Row.

‍Upfront, usually yes. Over time, metal’s 2–3× lifespan, minimal blow-off risk, and potential energy/insurance advantages often lower total cost of ownership in Nashville’s storm cycles.

Absolutely. Standing seam is solar-friendly, clamps attach to seams with no new roof penetrations. We coordinate layout and service clearances with your solar installer.

We use mechanical seams on lower slopes, high-temp underlayment, and solid decking to quiet impact. Insulated porch lids and tongue-and-groove assemblies with rigid foam reduce sound, popular on back porches in Sylvan Heights and West End.

‍Clear debris from valleys/gutters, inspect after major storms, and schedule a 5-year check (fasteners, flashings, sealant touch-ups). Exposed-fastener roofs need periodic re-screw/washer service; standing seam is largely low-maintenance.

Yes, when profile and color match the streetscape. In places like Germantown, 12 South, and Green Hills, we provide cut-sheets, color chips, and mockups; many boards prefer slate-look metal shingles or low-gloss standing seam in charcoal, dark bronze, or galvalume.

‍Favorites include matte charcoal, dark bronze, deep black, and galvalume. We’ll review samples in your daylight and coordinate with brick, siding, and gutter colors common across East Nashville, West Meade, and Green Hills.

Not when installed correctly. The “tin roof” noise reputation usually comes from metal installed over open framing, barns, or older builds with little insulation and no solid roof deck. Most Nashville homes have a solid roof deck, attic insulation, and interior drywall, which already dampen sound significantly. When a metal roof is installed over that deck with the proper underlayment and fastening method, sound levels in living spaces are typically comparable to asphalt shingles during heavy rain and wind. If anything sounds louder than expected, it’s usually tied to installation details (panel attachment, attic insulation gaps, or ventilation openings), not the metal itself.

You may lower the risk your home presents to an insurance company in Nashville when you replace an old asphalt shingle roof with a new metal roof. Many carriers reward the lower risk of metal roofing with premium discounts that can reach up to about 30%, especially when you use impact-resistant or fire-resistant materials. You have to ask your agent what roof types they credit, use a licensed metal roofing contractor, and provide documentation of the materials and completion date so the discount may be applied.
