The Metal Roofers is a Middle Tennessee metal roofing company with crews on roofs in Nolensville every season. We are not a one season outfit chasing hail. Our projects include homes in Bent Creek, Winterset Woods, McFarlin Woods, Ballenger Farms, Benington, Nolen Mill, Telfair, and newer construction off Sunset Road, York Road, Kidd Road, and Clovercroft Road.
We are fully licensed and insured in Tennessee and have completed more than 200 metal roof installations across Davidson and Williamson Counties, with a heavy concentration in Nolensville, Brentwood, Franklin, south Nashville, and the surrounding unincorporated communities. Our online reviews consistently sit between 4.8 and 5.0 stars, with homeowners mentioning clear communication, tidy job sites, and durable, good looking roofs as reasons they recommend us.
We install standing seam, metal shingles, our Classic Nashville panel (including a textured, low glare version from a local supplier just outside town), and copper accents. We handle tear off, decking repairs, underlayments, ventilation corrections, and all metal details. Because we only focus on metal (and treat shingle work as a bridge when needed, not our core business), we stay deep in the details that matter on Nolensville roofs.
Nolensville lives in a humid subtropical climate with hot summers, cool winters, and more than 50 inches of rain a year. Add in newer, larger homes with complex roofs and mature trees being planted along streets and property lines, and you have roof conditions that are tougher than a basic asphalt system was ever meant to handle.
Thunderstorms and downpours are normal in Nolensville. Roofs in Bent Creek, Winterset Woods, Benington, and along Nolensville Road see wind driven rain that tests valleys, wall flashings, and penetrations. Standing seam and metal shingle systems shed water faster and depend on fewer exposed fasteners than traditional shingles. Panels are continuous from eave to ridge, seams are raised above the water plane, and high temp membranes in key areas give the deck more protection when storms push water sideways.
As neighborhoods like Bent Creek, Winterset Woods, McFarlin Woods, Ballenger Farms, and Nolen Mill mature, trees fill in. Leaves, acorns, and small branches add up quickly in valleys and behind chimneys. Shingle roofs hold that debris and moisture; metal sheds it far more easily. If you prefer to stay off ladders and avoid repeated patch work on a complex roof, metal is simply easier to live with over time.
Nolensville summers are hot and humid, with average highs in the mid to upper 80s and plenty of days over 90 degrees. A light or mid-tone PVDF metal finish, installed over solid decking with ridge and soffit ventilation, can help reduce attic heat gain on west and south facing slopes. When we convert a Nolensville home from shingles to metal, we almost always correct ventilation as part of the job. That combination can lower cooling loads by roughly 10 to 20 percent compared with a tired dark shingle roof on a poorly vented deck. Real numbers depend on house design and HVAC, but metal plus ventilation is almost never a downgrade on energy in this climate.
Many Nolensville neighborhoods have homes in the mid to upper price ranges, with higher-end kitchens, hardwoods, and outdoor living spaces. It does not make sense to keep capping those investments with entry-level shingles that will be torn off again in 15 to 20 years. A 24 gauge standing seam or metal shingle roof gives the roof the same long term mindset as the rest of the property.
We tailor our work to Nolensville’s mix of newer master planned communities, older pockets, and unincorporated county streets.
We install 24 gauge standing seam systems on main roofs for most Nolensville homes, including properties in Bent Creek, Winterset Woods, McFarlin Woods, Ballenger Farms, Benington, Nolen Mill, Telfair, and neighboring unincorporated areas. Panels are clip fastened or mechanically seamed as needed, with continuous synthetic underlayments and high temp membranes at eaves, valleys, and low-slope sections. We design ridge, valley, and wall details to move water quickly and stand up to repeated storms.
Where a more traditional look suits the house or HOA expectations, we install metal shingle systems. These work well on brick and stone homes that want the appearance of architectural shingles or slate with far better service life and storm performance.
For appropriate structures and some primary roofs, we install our Classic Nashville panel. On homes in Nolensville, where street appearance and glare matter, we often recommend our textured Classic Nashville panel from a local supplier. The texture reduces shine, hides minor panel movement, and creates a softer, more residential look than smooth exposed-fastener panel.
Entry roofs, porch roofs, bays, and special architectural elements are good candidates for copper or color matched standing seam accents. We build those details into the overall roof system so they function as part of the roof, not just as decoration.
If past metal work on a Nolensville home was done poorly, we inspect, identify the real causes of leaks or noise, and recommend either targeted repairs or a full retrofit when the underlying system cannot realistically be tuned.
If you are in a starter phase or plan to sell in a shorter window, we can install a quality asphalt roof as a bridge while keeping future metal in mind. For long term owner occupied homes, our recommendation is usually to move to metal sooner rather than later.
Metal moves water faster than shingles. We size and place seamless gutters and downspouts to handle that flow and protect landscaping, drives, and foundations around Nolensville’s sloped lots.
Nolensville sits in USDA Zone 7b with a humid subtropical climate. Average annual rainfall is a bit over 53 inches, with warm to hot summers and cool winters. The town sits along the Harpeth River watershed and is surrounded by open spaces and tree-lined neighborhoods.
Bent Creek, Winterset Woods, Ballenger Farms, McFarlin Woods, Nolen Mill, Benington, Telfair, and The Farm at Clovercroft are all examples of neighborhoods with larger homes and complex roofs built on rolling terrain. Many of these communities also have HOAs and architectural guidelines that influence roof color and profile choices. Our designs respect those guidelines and the visual language of the community while delivering the performance of metal.
Older homes near the historic Nolensville core and along Nolensville Road may have different structural and aesthetic needs than newer construction off Rocky Fork Road, Sunset Road, and York Road. We adapt our details and recommendations accordingly.
Metal roofing in Nolensville is not one price. It depends on roof area, complexity, decking condition, metal type, and site access.
As a general pattern, full tear off and installation of 24 gauge standing seam or premium metal shingles on a typical Nolensville home often lands in the five figure range, and on larger or more complex homes it can move toward the high five figures. Roof area on these homes commonly runs between 2,500 and 4,500 square feet once all slopes and porches are counted. At a rough installed range of 12 to 16 dollars per square foot for quality standing seam systems, that places many Nolensville projects in the 30,000 to 70,000 dollar band, with some larger or very detailed roofs above that.
We do not quote from a satellite image alone. We inspect your home in Bent Creek, Winterset Woods, Ballenger Farms, Benington, Nolen Mill, Telfair, or the surrounding area, measure accurately, evaluate decking and ventilation, and then provide a written proposal that separates tear off, deck repairs, underlayments, metal panels, trim, and any gutter or ventilation work.
Every Nolensville project follows a consistent process so you know what to expect.
Yes, on most Nolensville homes a standing seam metal roof is worth it because it lasts longer, handles storms better, and fits the level of newer neighborhoods like Bent Creek, Winterset Woods, Benington, Telfair, Nolen Mill, and Ballenger Farms.
Many of these homes are already at a higher finish level inside. Roofs on 2,500 to 4,000 plus square foot homes with complex slopes and valleys put a lot of stress on shingles. When you expect to own the house for many years, or you want the roof to be an asset at resale, standing seam is a logical step up, not a luxury extra.
A properly installed 24 gauge standing seam or metal shingle roof on a Nolensville home is commonly expected to last 40 to 60 years or more.
High humidity, storms, and debris can shorten that if the system is built poorly. When decking is solid, underlayments are high quality, details are correct, and periodic inspection and cleaning happen, the metal itself will easily outlast a typical asphalt shingle cycle or two in this climate.
A standing seam metal roof can help keep a Nolensville home cooler in summer and reduce cooling energy use by roughly 10 to 20 percent when combined with a reflective color and corrected attic ventilation. It does not make the house colder in winter if insulation and air sealing are correct.
On west and south slopes in Bent Creek, Winterset Woods, Telfair, and similar neighborhoods, a lighter or mid-tone PVDF finish reflects more sunlight than aged dark shingles. Correct ridge and soffit ventilation then allows attic heat to escape. That combination helps keep attic temperatures closer to outdoor air temperatures and makes your HVAC system’s job easier in peak heat.
No. When installed over solid decking and underlayment and above an insulated ceiling, a standing seam metal roof is not significantly noisier than a shingle roof inside the home.
The “loud metal roof” reputation comes from metal panels installed over open framing without decking or insulation, which is not how houses in Nolensville, Brentwood, or Franklin are built. With a modern roof assembly, storms can be heard, but not in the echoing, drum like way people picture from barns or sheds.
You should not install standing seam metal over existing shingles on a Nolensville home if you want a roof that will truly last. The correct method is to remove shingles, repair or re nail decking, install synthetic and high temp underlayments, then install the metal system.
Leaving shingles in place hides deck problems, traps heat and moisture, creates an uneven surface that telegraphs through metal, and complicates both warranties and future repairs. On homes in Bent Creek, Winterset Woods, Ballenger Farms, and Nolen Mill, where owners expect long term performance, layover metal is a shortcut that undermines the whole point of choosing metal.
For primary Nolensville roofs we recommend 24 gauge steel for standing seam panels, and in certain highly exposed or long span conditions we may use heavier 22 gauge. We do not recommend 26 gauge for main estate roofs here.
Twenty four gauge provides stiffness and dent resistance that help panels stay flatter and reduce visible oil canning, which is important on long runs over two story houses and on open exposures. Thinner 26 gauge material is typically reserved for lighter applications and is not a good fit for most Nolensville projects where appearance and performance matter.
On a typical Nolensville home, a full tear-off and replacement with 24 gauge standing seam often falls in the 12 to 16 dollar per square foot range for roof area, with complex roofs, premium colors, and special details increasing that number.
If your roof area is 3,000 square feet, that implies a standing seam project in the 36,000 to 48,000 dollar range. At 4,000 square feet of roof, the range would be roughly 48,000 to 64,000 dollars. We refine those numbers after a site visit so your quote fits your house, not a generic average.
No, not when profile and color are chosen correctly. Nolensville already has many higher end homes where metal roofs or accents look completely at home.
In neighborhoods like Benington, Telfair, The Farm at Clovercroft, and parts of Bent Creek and Winterset Woods, a well designed standing seam or metal shingle roof can enhance curb appeal and support resale. We match colors and profiles to your brick, stone, and siding and we work within HOA guidelines so the finished roof looks like it belongs, not like an experiment.
Yes. Standing seam is one of the best roofing options for solar in Nolensville because solar racking can clamp to the seams without penetrating the metal panels with dozens of fasteners.
If you plan to add solar in Nolensville, we can design seam spacing and panel layout so future solar arrays land neatly on the best south and west facing slopes. When a solar installer clamps to seams instead of drilling through panels, your metal roof maintains its weather integrity and you reduce long term leak risk.
You choose a metal roofing contractor for a Nolensville home by looking for deep metal experience, a clear track record in Nolensville and Williamson County, strong verified reviews, and written warranties that cover both materials and workmanship.
Ask how many standing seam and metal shingle projects they have completed in Nolensville, Brentwood, Franklin, and south Nashville. Ask if their crews install metal every week or if metal is something they do occasionally. Look for consistent 4.8 to 5.0 star ratings from homeowners in neighborhoods like Bent Creek, Winterset Woods, Ballenger Farms, Nolen Mill, and similar communities. Then insist on a written workmanship warranty and clarity about who you call if you ever have a question or an issue.
The Metal Roofers is built around those criteria. We design and install metal roofing specifically for the kind of growing, high expectation neighborhoods that define Nolensville, and we intend to support those roofs for the long term.
