"They understood exactly the look we wanted for our farmhouse remodel. The final result looks like it's been there for 100 years, but it's clearly built to last another 100."

Tin Roofing Nashville
The Heritage Look, Modern Strength
"Tin roofing" in Nashville is a phrase people still use every day, even though true tin is rarely used. Most homeowners are picturing the classic metal barn roof or old farmhouse roof that rattles in the rain. Historically, tin-plated and Terne-coated metals were standard, but modern Nashville "tin roofs" are almost always high-quality coated steel.
The Metal Roofers are Nashville’s specialists for these systems. We install classic rib “barn style” and standing seam metal designed to echo that heritage look while giving you the strength, UV stability, and wind resistance of modern Galvalume® and aluminum.
Tin Aesthetic, Steel Performance
Preserving the visual language of Middle Tennessee.
Why Steel Replaced Tin
Steel has taken over because it's stronger for its weight, easier to produce, and more resistant to denting. It offers higher tensile strength and better profile options at a lower cost than specialty tin.
Authentic Heritage Look
We use shapes and colors that match historic Tennessee barns and farmhouses. From classic rib panels to traditional vertical seams, you get the aesthetic you want with material that lasts.
The "Rain on Tin" Sound
A good metal roof still lets you "hear the weather" in that honest, familiar way. Our steel systems deliver that steady, soft sound on porches and gables while meeting modern wind and fire codes.
Modern Coating Tech
Instead of niche tin sheet, we use Galvalume with high-performance paint systems. These are tested for UV stability and corrosion resistance, ensuring your "tin" roof doesn't rust through in a few seasons.
Translating Your Vision
Style Identification
Are you picturing a shiny barn roof or a matte gray standing seam? We help you sort through naming confusion to find the exact modern metal that matches your mental image.
Agricultural vs. Residential
Whether it's a bare Galvalume finish for an authentic farmhouse feel or a designer color for an East Nashville cottage, we tune the profile and proportion to the architecture.
Lifetime Workmanship
Our work is backed by a permanent Nashville presence and a lifetime workmanship warranty. We ensure your heritage roof is built to today's rigorous standards.

Common Questions
In almost every case, a Nashville "tin roof" installed in the last several decades is actually galvanized or Galvalume steel. The name survives in everyday speech, but the material is modern roofing steel.
True tin-plated iron is extremely specialized and usually reserved for historic preservation. For typical homes in Franklin or Brentwood, modern coated steel is superior in strength, warranty, and availability.
