The Metal Roofers are Shelbyville's specialist metal roofing contractor, installing standing seam metal roofs, metal shingles, classic Tennessee panel, and copper roofing across the Walking Horse Capital, the historic Public Square, the Celebration grounds, and the rest of Bedford County. Lifetime workmanship warranty on every metal roof we deliver.
What standing seam metal roofing means for a Bedford County home, in plain numbers and direct prose.
The Metal Roofers are Shelbyville's dedicated metal roofing contractor. We install standing seam metal roofs, metal shingles, classic Tennessee panel, and copper roofing across Bedford County. Metal roofing is the only system we install, and we will not bid an asphalt project. That is the entire difference between hiring a metal specialist and hiring a general contractor who works in metal occasionally.
Shelbyville has hosted the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration on the same eastern grounds since 1939. The Bedford County Courthouse has held its position on the Public Square since the 1810s. Buildings here are expected to last past one owner. The right metal roof carries the same expectation. The wrong asphalt roof does not.
A standing seam metal roof installed by The Metal Roofers outlasts three to four full asphalt roof replacements through Tennessee's climate. On a Shelbyville home, that is the difference between four roof projects across fifty years and one. Asphalt does not match metal on service life. It does not match metal on wind, hail, or fire performance. It does not match metal on the resale premium documented in national appraisal data, or on the insurance reductions Tennessee carriers offer for Class 4 impact-rated systems.
Every metal roof we install in Bedford County is backed by a lifetime non-prorated workmanship warranty on labor, transferable once within the first ten years. Manufacturer warranties on panels and PVDF finishes run separately, typically 40 to 50 years on structure and 30 years on finish.
The Metal Roofers 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 from a fifteen-year one as a matter of standard practice.
A Tennessee Walking Horse is judged on lineage. So is metal roofing. The four systems below carry their full specifications side by side — standing seam, metal shingles, classic Tennessee panel, and copper — with the gauges, ratings, and lifespans laid out plain.
Every metal roof we install in Shelbyville is specified to the home, the architecture, and the budget. No template bids.
Bedford County sits in Dixie Alley, the secondary tornado corridor that produces a disproportionate share of America's nighttime and long-track tornadoes. Tennessee logs more nocturnal tornadoes than any other state, with 46% of events between sunset and sunrise.
Standing seam metal roofing carries a 180 mph wind uplift rating, well above what Shelbyville has historically delivered. Every Bedford County metal roof we install is specified to that rating, not to the historical average.
Shelbyville summers routinely produce air temperatures above 95 degrees and roof surface temperatures over 160 degrees on dark-colored asphalt. The same heat drives petroleum-based shingle binders past their thermal tolerance, accelerating granule loss across thousands of daily expansion cycles.
PVDF-coated standing seam reflects up to 70% of solar radiation, cutting attic temperatures 20% to 30%. Every Shelbyville standing seam install we deliver uses 24-gauge PVDF panels as standard.
Spring supercells deliver hail of one to two inches across Bedford County every May. Standing seam metal roofing sheds hail across its surface; asphalt absorbs it at points of granule fracture. Tennessee carriers offer premium reductions up to 30% for Class 4 impact-rated metal.
The Duck River basin keeps Shelbyville humidity high year-round. Metal roofing's smooth surface sheds biological growth that destroys shaded asphalt prematurely.

The Metal Roofers are Bedford County's dedicated metal roofing contractor. We have served Middle Tennessee for more than two decades and installed more than 1,000 metal roofs across the state. Every metal roof installation is backed by a written lifetime non-prorated workmanship warranty on labor, transferable once within the first ten years.
Our crews understand the difference between a 1880s Public Square home, a 1960s brick ranch on North Main, a 2020 contemporary farmhouse out toward Wartrace, and a working walking horse barn off TN 64. We install each with the appropriate metal roofing system, gauge, and flashing detail.
