Metal Roofing Built to Outlast the Centerville Town Square.

The Metal Roofers are Centerville's dedicated metal roofing contractor. We install standing seam metal roofs, metal shingles, classic Tennessee panel, and copper across Hickman County, and we do not install anything else. Metal roofing is the only roofing system we deliver, which is why the craft details that separate a fifty-year metal roof from a fifteen-year one are standard practice on every Centerville job rather than rare exception.

Centerville has held a town square at the top of its hill since 1823. The Hickman County Courthouse, the limestone-block fences, the old houses along the streets radiating off the square, the Grinder's Switch railroad spur where Sarah Ophelia Colley Cannon's father loaded lumber a century ago — every one of those structures was built to last past one owner. 50 to 70 year service life180 mph wind upliftClass 4 impact ratedLifetime workmanship warranty. A metal roof installed by The Metal Roofers carries the same intent. Asphalt shingles cannot match any of those numbers.

Standing seam metal roofing outlasts three to four asphalt replacements through Tennessee's climate. On a Centerville home, that is the difference between four roof projects in fifty years and one.

Every metal roof we install in Centerville and Hickman County is backed by a written lifetime non-prorated workmanship warranty on labor, transferable once within the first ten years. The Metal Roofers do not install asphalt. We do not install rubber. We do not install TPO membrane on residential. Metal roofing is our vocation, and that is the only kind of contractor your Centerville project should hire.

What Centerville Metal Roofs Are Up Against

A Record of Why Hickman County Needs a Real Metal Roofing Contractor

Metal roofing specifications are only as good as the conditions they are tested against. The Metal Roofers install every Centerville metal roof to ratings that match what this geography actually delivers. These are the conditions on record, and the metal roofing systems that handle them.

I
Segment
Tornado & Severe Wind
Southern Middle TN · Dixie Alley
Alert

Metal roofing in Centerville must be specified for tornado-grade wind. Hickman County sits in Dixie Alley, the secondary tornado corridor that runs through the American South and produces a disproportionate share of nocturnal and long-track tornadoes. Tennessee experiences more nighttime tornadoes than any other state, with 46% of events striking between sunset and sunrise.

Standing seam metal roofing is rated for 180 mph wind uplift through Class 90 testing — well above what Hickman County has historically delivered. Asphalt shingles in the same wind range lose entire sections at fastener heads. The Metal Roofers install every Centerville metal roof to the rating, not to the average.

Duck River Humidity & Mature Canopy
Hickman County · 612 sq mi · 612 wooded
Watch

Metal roofing handles river-valley humidity and shaded conditions that destroy asphalt. Centerville sits on a hill overlooking the Duck River, with Hickman County's 612 square miles dominated by mature woodland canopy. This geography produces persistent humidity, sustained shade, and the leaf litter that retains moisture against any roof for weeks at a time. Asphalt shingles under these conditions lose 30% to 40% of rated service life to algae growth, granule loss, and substrate breakdown.

Standing seam metal roofing eliminates the thousands of exposed fasteners that fail first under shaded humidity. The Metal Roofers install standing seam with concealed fasteners and a smooth surface that sheds leaf debris and biological growth rather than collecting them.

Summer Heat & Solar Load

Steady

Metal roofing cuts cooling costs through Centerville's long Tennessee summer. Hickman County summers routinely produce air temperatures above 95 degrees and roof surface temperatures exceeding 160 degrees on dark-colored asphalt. These conditions drive petroleum-based shingle binders past their thermal tolerance, accelerating granule loss and substrate brittleness across thousands of daily expansion-contraction cycles.

PVDF-coated standing seam metal roofing reflects up to 70% of solar radiation, reducing attic temperatures 20% to 30% and meaningfully cutting HVAC loads. Every Centerville standing seam installation The Metal Roofers deliver uses PVDF-finish 24-gauge panels as standard.

Hail Events
Spring Supercell Corridor
Seasonal

Metal roofing handles hail that destroys asphalt. The same supercell systems that produce Middle Tennessee's tornadoes carry hail of one inch and larger across Hickman County every spring. Asphalt shingles absorb hail impact at individual points of granule loss and substrate fracture, damage that often goes undetected until interior leaks develop months later.

Class 4 impact-rated metal roofing sheds hail across its surface rather than absorbing it. Tennessee insurers typically offer premium reductions up to 30% for homes documented with impact-rated metal roofing — a meaningful figure on a Hickman County property where carriers tend to write at higher base rates. The Metal Roofers install only Class 4 impact-rated metal systems and provide documentation packets formatted for your insurer's discount application.

Why Hickman County Homeowners Are Switching to Metal Roofing.

The Metal Roofers are Centerville's metal roofing specialists, installing standing seam, metal shingles, classic Tennessee panel, and copper roofing throughout Hickman County. Hickman County homeowners are switching to metal roofing for four reasons that asphalt cannot match: service life, insurance reduction, resale premium, and zero maintenance. Standing seam metal roofing outperforms asphalt on every measurable metric.

50+
Years of Service Life
Standing seam carries 40 to 50 year manufacturer warranties with documented service life frequently exceeding 70 years. A single metal roof outlasts three to four full asphalt replacements through Tennessee's climate.
30%
Insurance Reduction
Tennessee insurers recognize metal roofing's wind, hail, and fire resistance with premium reductions up to 30% when homeowners provide documentation of Class 4 impact-rated installation.
3–6%
Resale Premium
National appraisal data documents a 3% to 6% resale premium on homes with metal roofing — a return that typically recovers most of the installation cost in added equity on a Hickman County property.
$0
Maintenance Between
Standing seam requires no granule reapplication, no moss treatment, no periodic resealing. PVDF finishes maintain color integrity for 30 or more years without fading or chalking under shaded Hickman County canopy.

Metal Roofing Across Centerville & Hickman County.

The Centerville Town Square sits on a hill where Highway 100 crosses on its way to Memphis. We map our Hickman County metal roofing service the same way the original surveyors mapped this place: by storefront, by direction off the square, by the right metal roofing answer for each part of the territory.

I
Centerville Town Square
Top of the Hill · Hwy 100
Era · 1823 to present
Anchor · Hickman Co. Courthouse
ZIP · 37033

Metal roofing in the Centerville Town Square covers the historic commercial buildings, the courthouse blocks, and the older residential streets radiating off the square's hilltop position. The Hickman County Courthouse anchors the square; the surrounding commercial frontages carry layered architecture from the 1880s through the mid-20th century. Many original metal and slate roofs are now decades past service life.

The Minnie Pearl statue sits on a bench at the south end of the square. The streets that fan out from it carry some of Hickman County's most architecturally significant homes — limestone-block fences, original front porches, deep eaves designed for porch shade.

Metal Roofing Recommendation

Metal shingles in slate or shake profile (Berridge 24-gauge) for primary residential slopes. Standing seam in dark bronze, charcoal, or matte black for porch roofs, secondary planes, and commercial frontages around the square. Documentation provided for any Hickman County Historic review.

II
Fairfield & North Highway 100
North · 5 mi from Square
Era · 1950s to present
Character · Linear Residential
Corridor · TN 100 North

Metal roofing along Centerville's northern corridor serves the residential and small commercial development that extends five miles up Highway 100 through the Fairfield area. Mid-century brick ranches, post-1970 subdivision homes, and the newer construction that has filled in along TN 100 over the past two decades.

Most homes in this corridor face their first or second asphalt replacement around now. Metal roofing eliminates the replacement cycle.

Metal Roofing Recommendation

Standing seam in matte black, charcoal, or dark bronze for the mid-century brick ranches and contemporary farmhouse new construction. 24-gauge upgrade standard. Metal shingles for traditional gabled architecture.

III
Nunnelly & the West Side
West · Centerville Municipal Airport
Era · Rural-Suburban Mix
Anchor · Municipal Airport (4,002' runway)
ZIP · 37137

Metal roofing in the Nunnelly area serves the western edge of Centerville, including the residential properties and small commercial structures around the Centerville Municipal Airport. This part of the town extends well past the square into the broader rural-suburban character that defines most of Hickman County.

Mature canopy here is heavy, and the same shade that makes the streets pleasant in July destroys asphalt roofing prematurely.

Metal Roofing Recommendation

Standing seam in charcoal, dark green, or matte black for primary residences. Smooth surface sheds leaf debris and biological growth that destroys asphalt under heavy canopy. 24-gauge residential upgrade standard.

IV
Grinder's Switch & Bon Aqua
East · Hickman Springs Road
Era · Pre-Statehood to present
Character · Working Acreage
ZIP · 37025

Metal roofing in eastern Hickman County serves the rural country east of Centerville, including the Grinder's Switch area (the spur track on the old Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway where Sarah Ophelia Colley Cannon's father shipped lumber) and the Bon Aqua community further east toward Dickson County. This is working country: family homesteads, working barns, equipment sheds, and the kind of rural acreage where multiple structures need coordinated metal roofing.

The Metal Roofers regularly handle coordinated metal roofing projects that span a main residence and several outbuildings on a single property, with matched colors across the structures.

Metal Roofing Recommendation

Standing seam on main residences. Wave Panel classic Tennessee panel profile on barns, equipment sheds, and outbuildings. The corrugated geometry hides oil canning on long unbroken runs. Coordinated colors across all structures on the property.

V
Lyles & Highway 48
Southeast · TN 48 Corridor
Era · Rural Community
Character · Working Farms
ZIP · 37098

Metal roofing in the Lyles community and along the TN 48 corridor serves the southeastern portion of Hickman County. Lyles is the home of Sole Supports manufacturing and a long-established rural community along the Piney River drainage. The Metal Roofers run this corridor regularly as part of the Centerville service rotation.

Working farms here typically combine a dressed main residence with multiple agricultural outbuildings, calling for the full Wave Panel + standing seam coordination.

Metal Roofing Recommendation

Standing seam on main residences. Wave Panel classic Tennessee panel on outbuildings. Traditional galvalume, forest green, or dark red on working agricultural structures. Coordinated colors recommended for property-wide aesthetic unity.

VI
Natchez Trace & Outlying Hickman
South & West · Wooded Hickman
Era · Pre-1800 Trace
Character · National Parkway
Communities · Aetna, Coble, Pinewood, Only

Metal roofing in outlying Hickman County serves the rural communities surrounding the southern portion of the county where the Natchez Trace Parkway cuts through. Aetna, Coble, Pinewood, Only, and Pinewood Lake — small unincorporated communities and a meaningful share of secluded properties on wooded acreage.

This is some of the most heavily canopied territory in Middle Tennessee, where standing seam's smooth surface is the difference between a roof that lasts and one that doesn't.

Metal Roofing Recommendation

Standing seam in charcoal, dark green, or weathered slate for primary residences blending into the wooded landscape. Wave Panel classic profile on outbuildings. PVDF finishes mandatory for the high-humidity wooded environment.

Metal Roofing Permits

Every metal roof installation The Metal Roofers deliver in Centerville and Hickman County is permitted through the appropriate jurisdiction. Town of Centerville manages residential metal roofing permits within municipal limits. Properties outside town limits are permitted through Hickman County directly. Adjacent county work (Dickson, Williamson, Lewis, Maury, Perry, Humphreys) is handled separately. We pull the appropriate metal roofing permit for your specific address and manage all inspections.

Standing Seam, Metal Shingles & Copper for Centerville Homes.

The Metal Roofers install four metal roofing systems across Centerville and Hickman County. Standing seam metal roofs, metal shingles, classic Tennessee panel, and copper roofing — each engineered for a different performance tier, architectural style, and budget. Hickman County's housing mix runs from 1880s town-square homes to mid-century brick ranches to working farms with multiple outbuildings, and each calls for a different metal roofing system.

70
Year Life
Standing Seam
The flagship. Hidden-fastener system with concealed clips allowing thermal expansion without compromising the watertight envelope. Industry standard is 26-gauge; The Metal Roofers upgrades every residential standing seam installation to 24-gauge at no additional charge. 22-gauge structural panels available for commercial work. Available in 40-plus colors with PVDF finish warranted 30 years against fading.
60
Year Life
Metal Shingles
Stamped or formed shingles engineered to replicate the dimensional appearance of natural slate, cedar shake, or clay tile while delivering full metal performance. Gauges run 26 to 24, with Berridge offering 24-gauge as standard. Four-way interlocking panel geometry rated for 120 mph wind uplift with UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance. The right answer for the historic town square homes and traditional brick architecture across Hickman County.
40
Year Life
Classic Tennessee Panel
Traditional ribbed metal profile for the barns, equipment sheds, detached garages, workshops, and agricultural outbuildings that define rural Hickman County. Industry standard is 29-gauge; we recommend 26-gauge for most installations. Our preferred profile is the Wave Panel, a corrugated 29-gauge panel whose wave geometry hides and prevents the oil canning that flatter exposed-fastener profiles can show on the long unbroken runs typical of farm structures.
Heritage
Copper Work
Copper is the only roofing material that appreciates in beauty over time, its patina progressing from bright penny to warm brown to verdigris green. Full copper systems, copper valleys and ridge work, copper dormers, and custom flashing details for the most significant properties around the Centerville Town Square and any historic Hickman County residence aspiring to that level of permanence.

Every Metal Roof System Centerville Needs.

Every metal roofing service The Metal Roofers offer is available for homeowners and business owners across Centerville, Fairfield, Nunnelly, Grinder's Switch, Bon Aqua, Lyles, and the rural unincorporated areas of Hickman County. Metal roofing is the only roofing system we install.

Metal Roofing Colors for Centerville Architecture.

Metal roofing color selection for Centerville accounts for the individual property's material palette and the surrounding architectural character. Hickman County's range runs from 19th-century painted brick and limestone around the Town Square through 20th-century clapboard and brick traditionals out to the working farmsteads of the eastern county. Every metal roof color we install is available in PVDF finish warranted 30 years against fading.

Centerville Town Square & Historic Streets: Weathered slate, dark bronze, charcoal, and matte black honor the original terne-metal and slate that defined Centerville's roofline in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These properties were designed for darker, recessive rooflines that let the painted facades, limestone fences, and traditional trim carry the visual weight.

Mid-Century Residential: Architectural black, zinc gray, and dark bronze complement the simpler trim packages and horizontal proportions of postwar brick ranch construction along Memorial-era streets. Standing seam reads cleanly on these elevations.

North Highway 100 New Construction: Contemporary farmhouse elevations suit matte black, dark bronze, and architectural charcoal. Board-and-batten homes accept slightly broader palette including dark green and weathered copper tones.

Rural & Agricultural: Traditional red, forest green, and galvalume for working barns and outbuildings across the rural county. Coordinated colors between residence and outbuildings reinforce property-wide unity.

The Metal Roofers have completed more than 1,000 metal roof installations across Middle Tennessee. Hickman County's working farms, historic Centerville Town Square homes, rural residential properties along TN 100 and TN 48, and commercial metal roofing work across the county are a meaningful share of our recent service rotation.

Centerville's Metal Roofing Specialists.

The Metal Roofers are Centerville's dedicated metal roofing contractor. We have served Middle Tennessee for more than two decades, installed more than 1,000 metal roofs across the state, and back every metal roof installation with a written lifetime non-prorated workmanship warranty that transfers once within the first ten years of ownership. We are BBB A+ accredited and hold Tennessee license #75515.

What makes The Metal Roofers different from a general roofer is what we do not do. We do not install asphalt. We do not install rubber. We do not install TPO membrane on residential. Metal roofing is our entire vocation, which is why our crews execute the craft details that separate a fifty-year metal roof installation from a fifteen-year one as a matter of standard practice rather than rare exception.

Every Centerville metal roof we deliver carries the same standard. The metal roofs we install in Hickman County are built to last fifty years and beyond.

Common Questions About Centerville Metal Roofing.

Do I need a permit for a metal roof in Centerville?
Yes. Properties within Centerville municipal limits require a permit through the Town of Centerville. Properties outside town limits in unincorporated Hickman County are permitted through the county directly. Adjacent county work (Dickson, Williamson, Lewis, Maury, Perry, Humphreys) follows each county's own process. We pull the appropriate metal roofing permit for your specific address.
Do you actually drive to Centerville?
Yes. Centerville and Hickman County are a regular part of our service rotation. We are based in Nashville, 55 miles east via I-40 and TN 100, and we run crews through Hickman, Dickson, and the surrounding Southern Middle Tennessee counties on a planned schedule. We do not charge mileage premiums for Centerville work, and we provide the same lifetime workmanship warranty we provide on Nashville installations.
Will a metal roof look right on my historic Town Square home?
Absolutely. Metal shingles in slate or shake profile are virtually indistinguishable from natural slate at street level and honor the dimensional character of Centerville's 1880s through early-20th-century town square architecture. Standing seam in dark bronze or matte black is appropriate for porch roofs and secondary planes. We provide physical samples, color chips, and comparable installation photography for any historic property documentation.
Do you re-roof working barns and farm outbuildings?
Yes. Classic Tennessee Panel in our preferred Wave Panel profile is the appropriate system for working barns, equipment sheds, and storage structures across rural Hickman County. We commonly coordinate a standing seam main residence with classic panel outbuildings on the same property, with matched colors. Outbuilding re-roofing runs $7,000 to $22,000 depending on size.
How does metal roofing perform in Tennessee storms?
Standing seam systems are tested to Class 90 wind uplift, which translates to roughly 180 mph resistance. Independent analysis of the March 2020 Nashville tornado documented standing seam roofs emerging with minimal damage while neighboring asphalt roofs lost entire panels. The interlocking geometry spreads wind load across the full roof plane rather than concentrating it at individual fasteners.
Are metal roofs loud during rain?
No. Modern metal roofing installed over solid decking with synthetic underlayment attenuates rain noise to levels comparable to architectural shingles. The "tin roof" reputation originates from agricultural buildings on open purlins with no decking or insulation. Residential roofing is a completely different application.
What does a metal roof cost on a typical Centerville home?
A typical Centerville residential standing seam installation runs $20,000 to $45,000 depending on square footage, roof complexity, and color selection. Metal shingle installations run $16,000 to $36,000. Rural homesteads with coordinated outbuildings run $30,000 to $75,000. Outbuilding-only re-roofs run $7,000 to $22,000. Every estimate is written, line-itemized, and complimentary.
How long does installation take?
A typical Centerville residential installation runs three to five days depending on square footage, roof complexity, and weather. Rural properties with coordinated outbuildings extend to a week or more. We do not commit to specific completion dates because Tennessee weather does not cooperate with fixed schedules.
Do you serve Bon Aqua, Lyles, and rural Hickman County?
Yes. The Metal Roofers serve all of Hickman County (Centerville, Fairfield, Nunnelly, Grinder's Switch, Bon Aqua, Lyles, Aetna, Coble, Pinewood, Only), plus adjacent Dickson, Williamson, Lewis, Maury, Perry, and Humphreys Counties, and the rest of Southern Middle Tennessee from our Nashville base.
Can I add solar panels to a metal roof later?
Standing seam is the ideal solar substrate. Clamp-mounted racking systems attach directly to the raised seams with zero roof penetrations required, meaning no drilling, no sealant, and no warranty compromise. Worth considering on rural Hickman County properties where solar payback periods can be meaningful.
What is covered by the warranty?
The Metal Roofers install every metal roof with a lifetime non-prorated workmanship warranty on labor, transferable once within the first ten years with 30 days written notice. Manufacturer warranties on panels and finishes run separately, typically 40 to 50 years on structure and 30 years on PVDF finish. Storm damage, structural defects, pre-existing substrate issues, and non-TMR ventilation work are excluded. Claims: (615) 649-5002. Final payment registers the warranty.
