We started with paint brushes, drywall mud, and a simple lesson we learned inside Nashville homes: water always tells the truth. A ceiling stain might show up in the living room, hallway, kitchen, or upstairs bedroom, but the real problem is usually above it. That realization is what moved us from patching the evidence to fixing the roof system that caused it.
The Metal Roofers is a Nashville-based metal roofing company built for Tennessee homes, Tennessee weather, and Tennessee people. We are proud to be headquartered here, proud to serve this state, and proud to build roofs that make sense for Middle Tennessee instead of copying a national playbook. Nashville is not just a market. It is Music City. It is church pews, front porches, writers’ rounds, Sunday mornings, backroads, storm clouds, red clay, handshakes, and people who expect work to be done straight.
We started as a painting and general handyman crew working across Nashville and Davidson County. Interior repairs, drywall patching, trim work, cabinet refinishing, window caulking, and ceiling repaints taught us how homes age from the inside out. We worked in East Nashville bungalows, Donelson ranches, Madison split-levels, Bellevue brick homes, and older houses where every repair had a story behind it.
That work taught us to respect homeowners. When you are inside someone’s house, moving furniture, protecting floors, and working in rooms where children sleep and families gather, you learn that a home is not a jobsite first. It is someone’s life.
After years of repainting water-stained ceilings and repairing drywall softened by slow leaks, we started asking the question that changed the company: why keep fixing the symptom if we can fix the cause?
We started getting on roofs to understand them. At first, not to sell them. To understand them. We studied flashing, valleys, chimneys, pipe boots, attic ventilation, shingle failure, decking rot, moisture, and how fast Tennessee storms can expose a weak roof. The more we learned, the more obvious it became: the roof is the most important system on the house and the one most homeowners are given the least clear information about.
We started offering roof repairs and eventually full roof replacements. At first, we installed what most roofers installed: asphalt shingles. But we noticed something we could not ignore. The asphalt roofs we saw every day aged fast in Nashville weather. Granule loss, curling tabs, blown-off shingles, algae, patchwork repairs, and roof stains showed up sooner than homeowners expected.
At the same time, we drove past old metal roofs on churches, farmhouses, barns, porches, and rural homes that were still doing their job after decades of Tennessee weather. They were not perfect because metal is magic. They lasted because the material, when installed correctly, was built for a longer cycle.
That moved us toward metal.
Our first metal roof was not the fastest roof we ever installed. It was one of the slowest. Every trim piece was checked twice. Every fastener mattered. Every flashing detail felt like it carried the future of the company on it.
When we finished and stood across the street, we knew. This was the work. Not temporary covering. Not a roof designed to be replaced again and again. A roof that could become part of the home for decades.
Word travels in Tennessee. A good roof on one street becomes a conversation on the next street. A neighbor asks who did it. A church member passes the number along. A homeowner calls because they saw the crew clean up properly and the roof lines looked straight from the road.
We reached our first hundred metal roofs by doing the same things over and over: show up, explain the work, protect the property, build the roof right, and leave the house cleaner than a roofing crew is expected to.
Around the time we crossed hundreds of metal installs, we made the decision that defines the company today: metal only. Not shingles one day, siding the next, flat roofs the next, and metal whenever someone asks. Metal became the craft.
That focus changed everything. We could buy better tools, train deeper, work with better suppliers, learn every panel type, and understand how metal behaves on real Tennessee homes. Standing seam, metal shingles, classic panels, copper, zinc, coatings, roof repairs, solar-ready details — all of it connected to one core craft.
Joining the Metal Roofing Alliance connected our Tennessee work to a national residential metal roofing network. The MRA describes its network as including manufacturers and certified contractors focused on durable, beautiful, energy-efficient metal roofing, which matters because a metal roof is only as strong as the product, the installer, and the details working together. For us, the point was not a badge. It was accountability. We wanted our Nashville work connected to the best metal roofing practices available anywhere, without losing the local judgment that Tennessee homes require.
A thousand metal roofs means a thousand rooflines, valleys, chimneys, porches, ridges, gutters, skylights, driveways, families, and final walk-arounds. It means cottages in East Nashville, homes in Brentwood, churches in rural counties, lake-area roofs, commercial buildings, and houses tucked under trees where moisture control matters as much as color.
That number matters because repetition teaches what no brochure can. Every roofline makes you better if you are paying attention.
Growth does not mean much if the work gets worse. Last year brought more projects, more homeowners served, more product options, more equipment, and deeper supplier relationships. But the rule stayed the same: every roof gets measured, built, cleaned, and documented like the homeowner is going to look us in the eye ten years from now and ask if we are still proud of it.
Today, The Metal Roofers is based on East Trinity Lane in Nashville and focused on Tennessee metal roofing. We install standing seam, metal shingles, classic panels, copper, zinc, coatings, repairs, solar-ready roofs, commercial metal roofing, and custom metal accents. Our BBB profile lists The Metal Roofers as an A+ accredited metal roofing contractor in Nashville, with services including standing seam, classic panel, metal shingles, copper roofs, repairs, coatings, and solar services.
We are a Tennessee company. We plan to stay that way.
Valleys, sidewalls, chimneys, dormers, skylights, porch tie-ins, rake edges, ridge caps, gutter lines, and wall-to-roof intersections are where roofs earn their reputation or lose it. The open roof face gets the attention from the street, but the transitions decide whether the ceiling stays dry.
A roof should not be mysterious. Homeowners should know what panel is being installed, why that gauge was chosen, what finish is on the metal, how the roof is ventilated, what warranty applies, and what maintenance matters. We explain the system because an informed homeowner is easier to serve honestly.
Correct fastener torque. Clean hems. Foam closures where they belong. Butyl tape at laps. Sealant where the system calls for it. Metal shavings removed from panels and gutters. These details may not photograph as well as the finished roof, but they decide whether the roof is still clean and dry years later.
We work with the kind of steady care you expect from a Tennessee company that intends to answer the phone ten years from now. We are not storm chasers. We are not a national sales machine sending rotating crews through town. Our shop is in Nashville. Our work is in Tennessee. Our reputation lives here.

Our home. Our headquarters.
Local labor. Local pride.
We have never wanted to be the kind of company that tells people how good we are louder than the work proves it. In Tennessee, reputation is still local. People ask their neighbors. They ask their church friends. They ask the person down the street whose roof looks sharp after the last storm. That is the kind of reputation we care about.
We researched and got quotes from several different roofers. We are so glad we chose to work with The Metal Roofers. They were responsive, up front and honest. Our roof looks amazing! We could not be more pleased with the finished roof and their professionalism from start to finish."
"We have had such a hard time with getting any good work done on our complicated 100+ year old Victorian home and wasted thousands on work from companies that couldn't fix our problem with our roof… the fact that they did this job in about three days and solved it made us very happy. The team was amazing and we are so grateful to now have a beautiful functional tin roof on our old home."
"We would give them 10 stars if it were possible! The Metal Roofers are a reliable, detail-oriented, friendly and family-owned business with tons of skill and many years of experience. We had many challenges in dealing with our homeowners insurance, but they worked with our adjusters and smoothed out the entire process."
"They kept in contact with us the whole time and listened to what we wanted and needed. Came back and checked the work and made sure that there was no trash on the ground that could harm our four kids."
"Absolutely the BEST! These folks did an excellent job on my house. The installers were very, very good. From the first time I met the owner to the end of the job — total communication. I would highly recommend."
"What an incredible team. My only regret is not replacing my roof sooner! I've had it a few weeks now and it was tested under all the ice and snow and it's dry as a bone and looks top notch."
"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."
"These guys are the best. The good guys of roofing. Very helpful and professional during the whole process. Honest and quality work. They get my top recommendation."

The Metal Roofing Alliance is the leading non-profit trade association in North America dedicated to expanding the use of high-quality metal roofing in the residential market. The MRA brings together a network of manufacturers, suppliers, contractors, and industry partners committed to raising standards for materials, installation practices, and homeowner education across the United States and Canada. It is the national voice for what the industry calls "investment-grade roofing" — roofing systems engineered not just to cover a home, but to protect it for a lifetime.
The Metal Roofers is a contractor member of the MRA. That membership is not something you apply for and receive — it requires sponsorship by an MRA manufacturer member, which means that a manufacturer who makes the products we install has vouched for our installation quality, our professional conduct, and our commitment to following manufacturer specifications. It is a vetted relationship, not a purchased badge.
Our MRA membership is sponsored by a manufacturer member — meaning the companies who make the panels we install have reviewed our work and confirmed that we meet their installation standards. This is third-party accountability that protects you.
MRA membership connects us to the latest training, technical bulletins, installation best practices, and product developments from across the national metal roofing industry — not just what we learn in Nashville, but what the entire industry is learning.
The MRA distinguishes between "commodity" metal roofing (the cheapest available) and "investment-grade" systems — precision-engineered products with premium coatings, proper warranties, and installation specifications that maximize service life. We install investment-grade systems.
The MRA is committed to helping homeowners understand metal roofing — product types, coatings, warranties, return on investment, energy performance. As an MRA member, we share that educational mission in every conversation and every proposal.
Our affiliation with the MRA reflects our continued investment in quality, performance, and the advancement of residential metal roofing across the markets we serve. It is one of the affiliations we are most proud of — because it connects our local Tennessee work to the highest national standards in the industry.

The Tennessee Valley Authority is one of the most important institutions in Tennessee history. Created in 1933, TVA provides electricity to 153 local power companies serving 10 million people across seven states — including the Nashville Electric Service that powers most Davidson County homes. TVA's EnergyRight program is their consumer-facing initiative to help homeowners and businesses improve energy performance and reduce utility costs through smarter building practices.
The EnergyRight Preferred Partners Network is TVA's program that connects homeowners with local contractors who meet TVA's participation requirements and serve the TVA service area. The Metal Roofers is a participating contractor in this network.
Why this matters for your metal roof: Metal roofing is one of the most effective passive energy upgrades available to Tennessee homeowners. ENERGY STAR-rated metal roofing with reflective pigment coatings can reduce roof surface temperature by up to 100°F compared to dark asphalt, cutting cooling loads by 10–25% depending on the home's insulation and HVAC system. In a Nashville summer where air conditioning accounts for 30–50% of a residential electric bill, that reduction is not theoretical — it is money in your pocket every month from June through September.
Our involvement in the TVA EnergyRight network reflects our commitment to providing roofing systems that do more than shed water. We install roofs that support better energy performance, lower utility costs, and improved home efficiency — the same goals that TVA has championed for Tennessee families for nearly a century.
While TVA does not endorse or recommend specific companies, we value the opportunity to be part of a regional program that promotes informed, energy-conscious choices. When we specify a cool-roof-rated metal panel with PVDF reflective coatings for a Nashville home, we are not just building a roof — we are building a more efficient building envelope that aligns with the same energy performance standards TVA promotes across its entire service territory.

TenneSEIA is the state-level affiliate of the national Solar Energy Industries Association, the largest solar trade organization in the United States. TenneSEIA advocates for policies that expand solar access in Tennessee, connects industry professionals across the solar and energy sectors, and promotes best practices in solar infrastructure development across the Tennessee Valley region.
The Metal Roofers is a member of TenneSEIA — and you might wonder why a metal roofing company belongs to a solar association. The answer is simple: the roof and the solar system are one integrated building envelope, and the decisions you make about one directly affect the performance of the other.
The critical connection between metal roofing and solar: Standing seam metal roofing is the single best substrate for rooftop solar panels. Non-penetrating clamps grip the standing seam ribs without drilling through the roof — no new holes, no new leak points, no voided warranties. The solar array attaches to the seam, the seam is part of the waterproof system, and the two technologies work together for the combined life of both systems. This is why solar installers across Tennessee prefer standing seam over every other roofing material.
But the connection runs deeper than attachment method. A metal roof lasts 50–70+ years. Solar panels are warrantied for 25–30 years. If you install solar on top of a 12-year-old asphalt roof, you will need to remove the solar panels, replace the roof, and reinstall the panels within the life of the solar system — at enormous cost and disruption. If you install solar on a new metal roof, the roof outlasts the panels. You never face that mid-life tear-off decision. The economics of solar only work long-term when the roof underneath it is built for the long term.
Through our membership in TenneSEIA, we stay connected to the latest conversations around solar infrastructure, battery storage, net metering policy, and energy-forward building practices in Tennessee. When we install a solar-ready standing seam roof — with proper structural support, optimized panel orientation, and pre-positioned conduit pathways — we are building a roof that is ready for the energy future, whether that future arrives this year or ten years from now.
Every standing seam roof we install is solar-compatible by default — the seam profile accepts non-penetrating clamps, and we can pre-plan racking layouts, conduit routes, and structural reinforcement for future solar installation. We coordinate with solar providers across the Nashville market to ensure the roof and the array work together as one system.

The Better Business Bureau has been the standard-bearer for business trust in America since 1912. BBB accreditation is earned, not purchased — businesses must meet BBB Standards for Trust, which include commitments to honest advertising, transparent business practices, responsiveness to customer concerns, and integrity in all dealings. The A+ rating is the highest designation the BBB awards, and it reflects a sustained pattern of ethical conduct over time.
The Metal Roofers holds BBB accreditation with an A+ rating — the highest possible mark. This is not something that happened by accident. It is the result of twenty-plus years of doing business the way we believe business should be done: say what you are going to do, do what you said, charge what you quoted, and show up when the phone rings.
What our BBB record reflects: For over two decades, we have operated with integrity at every level of our business — from the first phone call to the final walk-around, and for years after the job is complete. Our BBB profile shows a pattern of responsiveness, transparency, and customer satisfaction that has been maintained across hundreds of projects and thousands of customer interactions. In an industry where trust is earned on every single project, we take our BBB standing seriously.
Why this matters in roofing: The roofing industry has a trust problem. Storm chasers — out-of-state crews that follow hail damage from city to city — knock on doors, offer low prices, do fast work with cheap materials, and disappear before the first warranty claim comes in. They have no BBB profile, no local address, no intention of being here when the leak starts. A BBB A+ accredited local business is the opposite of that model. We have a physical address on East Trinity Lane. We have a phone number that has not changed. We have a BBB record that anyone can look up. And we have every intention of being here the next time you need us — because our reputation lives in the same city we do.

From the steel coils that feed the roll-forming machines to the trim stock that finishes every edge, from the long-life fasteners that hold each panel to the clips that secure each standing seam — every piece of metal we install comes from American manufacturing. We do not source overseas material. We do not use imported steel of unknown composition. We do not substitute bargain-bin components to shave cost at the expense of quality.
Why American steel matters for your roof: Steel quality is not uniform worldwide. American steel mills operate under EPA environmental standards, OSHA worker safety standards, and ASTM material specifications that ensure consistent composition, consistent thickness, and consistent coating quality. When we specify a 24-gauge Galvalume panel with a PVDF paint system, we know exactly what that means — the steel thickness is what the spec says, the zinc-aluminum coating is what the spec says, and the paint chemistry performs the way the warranty promises. That consistency is the foundation of a roof you can trust for decades.
The regional supply chain: Our supply chain is short, local, and accountable. Steel coils come from U.S. mills. Those coils are shipped to regional fabricators — many of them within a few hours' drive of Nashville — where they are roll-formed into panels, slit into trim stock, and finished with factory-applied paint systems. The finished material is delivered to our staging area, loaded on our trucks, and installed by our crews. At every step, we know where the material came from, who made it, and what specification it meets. That traceability matters when the product carries a 40-year paint warranty and a lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Supporting Tennessee and the Southeast: When we buy American steel from regional suppliers, those dollars circulate in the same economy we serve. The trucker who delivers the coils has a family in Tennessee. The fabricator who forms the panels has a shop in the Southeast. The supply house that stocks our fasteners has a warehouse within driving distance. We are not just sourcing quality material — we are investing in the communities we roof in. Every Metal Roofers project keeps Tennessee working.

Every metal roof we install is backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty — a written guarantee covering the quality of our installation for as long as you own the home. This covers proper fastening, correct panel layout, waterproof flashing details, code-compliant work, and all the details that determine whether the roof performs as designed. The panel manufacturer provides a separate product warranty covering the steel substrate and paint finish. You receive both documents at project closeout, along with a maintenance schedule and the specification of every material used on your roof.
We offer the lifetime workmanship warranty because we believe in what we build. We have watched our roofs weather a decade of Nashville storms and still look like the day we finished them. We have driven past homes we roofed years ago and felt that quiet pride that comes from knowing the work was done right. That warranty is not a marketing gesture. It is a promise — backed by a Tennessee company that plans to be right here on East Trinity Lane for a very long time.
At the end of the day, we are still the same kind of company we were at the start. We show up. We do the work right. We treat your home like it matters because it does. The address on the mailbox is where your people come home. The roof over it is what stands between them and whatever Tennessee decides to send next.
The difference now is focus. We have put our full attention into one craft. We have built our name around a material we trust. We have installed over a thousand metal roofs across Middle Tennessee and learned something from every one of them.
We love Nashville because Nashville is real. It is not just Broadway lights or a skyline photo. It is gospel in small churches, writers chasing a song, tradesmen loading trucks before daylight, families rebuilding after storms, old homes with crooked rooflines, new homes with big expectations, and people who still notice whether a company keeps its word.
We love Tennessee because Tennessee has always been a place where people wanted to be heard. The state’s own path to statehood was bold, organized, and self-directed. Its Volunteer State name came from people stepping forward when called. Its culture is built from music, work, faith, land, memory, and independence. That is the kind of place we are proud to represent.
A metal roof should be bought once in your lifetime. Our job is to make sure yours is built like that, from the first measurement to the last ridge cap, from the first conversation in your driveway to the final walk-around when you see the finished roof from the street and know it was done right.
That is the promise. Same as it ever was.

We will come to your home, walk the property with you, look at the roof from every angle, and give you an honest recommendation — even if that recommendation is "not yet." No pressure. No storm-chaser pitch. Just straight talk from a Tennessee company that has been doing this for over twenty years and plans to keep doing it for twenty more.
