The Metal Roofers

Setting & Architecture

The style is Tennessee brick traditional. A tall main ridge runs front to back while cross gables step the mass around porches, bays, and the entry. Gable returns keep the ends neat and small vents sit high in the peaks. Window heads line up from front to rear so the walls read level. The brick color shifts from deep brown to lighter highlights, which gives texture without noise. White fascia and soffit sharpen the edges and keep the roof outline clean.

The plan opens to the backyard where the pool sits inside a curved brick terrace with planting beds and a small shade structure. The detached garage mirrors the house with its own steep gable and the same brick and trim, so the driveway and pool side read as a courtyard. Breaking the mass into these volumes keeps a large home from feeling oversized. From the lawn you see a set of clear roof planes that organize the whole property.

Roof & Detailing

We installed black standing-seam panels formed to length and run ridge to eave so each plane reads straight. Seams align through hips and breaks, ridges sit low, and rakes throw a crisp shadow that matches the gable returns. The finish is a calm black that pairs with gutters and makes the brick and stone read warmer. The garage and pavilion use the same panel width and seam spacing, which keeps the pattern consistent as you move around the site.

The geometry is complex, so the details carry the look. Valleys are lined and cut true, inside corners use dead-pan trim where needed, and wall transitions are stepped and counter-flashed behind siding and brick returns. Porch tie-ins were rebuilt, penetrations are boxed with color-matched metal, and eaves are hemmed for a finished edge. The ridge is vented so the attic breathes without visible hardware. From the yard and the pool deck you read one roof system across every building and a clean outline that fits the architecture.

From Our Crew

“We treated this as one project, not three roofs. House, garage, and pavilion all had to land with the same rhythm. We rolled full-length black panels on site, snapped layout so seams line up across the hips, and kept the ridges low so the gables do the talking. The pool area stayed open, so we staged lifts away from the deck, covered furniture and filters, and set ground mats on the concrete to avoid scuffs. Valleys were cut by hand, wall metal was stepped and counter-flashed into the brick, and every edge was hemmed. We magnet-rolled the drives and walks each afternoon and again at finish. When we wrapped, the pattern matched from the front door to the pavilion, the pool court was clean, and the place looked like it was built this way from day one.”
