The Metal Roofers is a Middle Tennessee metal roofing company that works in Thompson’s Station every season, not a short term storm operation. We install metal roofs on homes in Tollgate Village, Canterbury, Fields of Canterbury, Bridgemore Village, Littlebury, Allenwood, Avenue Downs, and on acreage properties between Franklin and Spring Hill.
We are fully licensed and insured in Tennessee. Across Davidson and Williamson Counties, we have completed more than 200 metal roof projects, with a strong concentration in Franklin, Thompson’s Station, Spring Hill, Nolensville, and Brentwood. Our online rating typically sits between 4.8 and 5.0 stars, with homeowners commenting on clean sites, good communication, and meticulous detailing.
Our crews install standing seam, metal shingles, and our Classic Nashville panel, including a textured, low glare version rolled by a local supplier just outside town. We handle tear off, deck repairs, synthetic and high temp underlayments, ridge and soffit venting, and all flashing details. Metal roofing is not an add on for us. It is the core of what we do.
Thompson’s Station sits in a humid subtropical climate: hot, humid summers, mild but wet winters, and roughly 50 to 55 inches of rain per year. Newer neighborhoods add large roof surfaces and more complex shapes on top of that. Metal roofing fits those conditions better than another round of asphalt.
Thunderstorms and downpours are routine from spring through fall. Roofs in Tollgate Village, Canterbury, Bridgemore Village, and Fields of Canterbury see wind driven rain that tests valleys, sidewalls, and penetrations. Standing seam and metal shingle roofs shed water quickly and rely on fewer exposed fasteners than layered shingles. Raised seams stay above the water plane and continuous panels reduce the number of potential leak points on long runs.
Master planned communities and rural roads around Thompson’s Station are filling in with oaks, maples, and ornamental trees. Those trees drop leaves and small branches into valleys and onto lower roofs. Shingles hold debris and moisture. Metal sheds it more easily. If you would rather not be on a ladder every season patching and cleaning, a metal system simply fits better.
Average summer highs in Thompson’s Station are in the mid to upper 80s Fahrenheit, and heat index values often feel higher. A light or mid tone PVDF coated metal roof over solid decking, combined with working ridge and soffit vents, can reduce attic heat gain on west and south slopes. When we convert a roof from shingles to metal, we almost always correct ventilation at the same time. That combination can cut cooling loads by roughly 10 to 20 percent compared with a dark, aging shingle roof on a poorly vented deck. Actual numbers depend on your house and HVAC, but the roof stops working against you.
Neighborhoods like Tollgate Village, Canterbury, Bridgemore Village, and Fields of Canterbury feature homes with upgraded kitchens, hardwoods, trim, and outdoor living spaces. It does not make sense to put a short cycle roof on that level of investment. A 24 gauge standing seam or premium metal shingle roof lines the top of the house up with the rest of it.
We shape our service mix for Thompson’s Station’s mix of master planned communities, rural edges, and historic properties.
We install 24 gauge standing seam as the primary system on most Thompson’s Station roofs. Panels are clip fastened or mechanically seamed, with synthetic and high temp underlayments, and ridge and soffit vents configured to move hot air out of the attic. We design seams, hips, and valleys for steep slopes and heavy rainfall, especially on complex roofs in Tollgate Village, Canterbury, and Bridgemore Village.
For homes that need a more traditional profile, we install metal shingle systems that mimic slate or high end asphalt while delivering metal performance. This is often a good fit for homes on brick and stone elevations where a full standing seam aesthetic would feel too modern from the street.
On certain primary roofs, garages, and accessory buildings, we install our Classic Nashville panel. For homeowners who dislike glare, we offer a textured Classic Nashville panel from our local supplier. The textured surface softens reflections, hides minor oil canning, and gives a more refined look that works well in planned communities and on country properties.
Entry roofs, porches, bay windows, and special features are strong candidates for copper or standing seam accent roofs. We build those pieces into the overall roof system rather than treating them as afterthoughts.
If previous metal work on a Thompson’s Station home has caused leaks or visual issues, we inspect, identify root causes, and either repair or recommend a structured conversion to a correctly detailed system.
If a full metal conversion is a year or two away but a failing shingle roof needs attention now, we can install a quality architectural shingle system as a bridge, with the future metal layout in mind.
Metal moves water quickly. We size and place seamless gutters and downspouts to handle that flow and protect landscaping and foundations on sloped lots and around driveways.
Thompson’s Station is a Williamson County town just south of Franklin and north of Spring Hill, with a growing population and a lot of new roofs. Hot summers, mild but wet winters, and roughly 55 inches of annual rainfall define the climate.
Neighborhoods like Canterbury and Tollgate Village are master planned communities with larger homes and more complex roofs than a basic starter subdivision. Roof area and detail count are higher, which means more edges where shingles can fail. Rural and historic properties toward Critz Lane, Thompson’s Station Road, and Carters Creek Pike may have older framing and decking that needs evaluation before any new roof goes on.
We design each metal roof for:
Metal roofing in Thompson’s Station is an investment. Most full tear off and replacement projects with 24 gauge standing seam or premium metal shingles fall in the five figure range, with larger or more intricate roofs sometimes reaching into the higher five figures.
A simple way to think about it is by roof area. Many homes in Tollgate Village, Canterbury, Bridgemore Village, and Fields of Canterbury have 2,500 to 4,500 square feet of roof surface once all slopes and porches are counted. At a typical installed price of 12 to 16 dollars per square foot for quality standing seam, that puts most projects in the 30,000 to 70,000 dollar range, with very large or complex roofs above that.
We do not quote off a satellite image alone. We inspect the roof and attic, measure accurately, check decking and ventilation, and then present a written proposal that separates tear off, decking, underlayments, metal panels and trim, and any gutter or ventilation work.
Every Thompson’s Station project follows the same structured process.
Yes, a standing seam metal roof is usually worth it on a Thompson’s Station home because it lasts much longer than asphalt, handles storms better, and matches the level of newer neighborhoods like Canterbury, Tollgate Village, Bridgemore Village, and Fields of Canterbury.
When you plan to stay in the home or want a roof that strengthens resale instead of becoming a negotiation point, a 24 gauge standing seam system makes sense as a long term asset rather than a short term fix.
A properly installed 24 gauge standing seam or metal shingle roof on a Thompson’s Station home is commonly expected to last 40 to 60 years or more.
Attic moisture, debris buildup, and neglected flashing problems can shorten that life, but when the system is built correctly and checked occasionally, the metal itself is designed to outlast one or two full shingle cycles in this climate.
A standing seam metal roof can help keep a Thompson’s Station home cooler in summer and reduce cooling energy use by roughly 10 to 20 percent when you combine reflective color and proper ventilation. It does not make the house colder in winter if insulation and air sealing are correctly done.
On west and south facing slopes in Tollgate Village, Canterbury, and other neighborhoods, a light or mid-tone metal color reflects more sunlight than dark shingles. When hot attic air has a real path out through ridge and soffit vents, your HVAC does not fight the same level of roof-driven heat.
No. Installed over solid decking with underlayment and above an insulated ceiling, a standing seam metal roof is not significantly louder inside than a shingle roof.
Noise concerns come from metal on open framing without decking or insulation. That is not how Thompson’s Station houses are built. In a typical house in Canterbury or Tollgate Village, the roof system includes deck, underlayment, air space, insulation, and drywall that all act to dampen sound.
You should not install standing seam metal over existing shingles if you want a long-life roof in Thompson’s Station. The correct method is to tear off shingles, repair or re nail decking, install underlayments, and then install the metal system.
Leaving shingles in place hides structural issues, traps heat and moisture, creates uneven surfaces that telegraph through the metal, and complicates warranties and future repairs. On homes you plan to keep, layover metal is a shortcut that undermines the benefits of metal roofing.
For main roofs in Thompson’s Station we recommend 24 gauge steel for standing seam panels. In certain highly exposed or long span areas we may use heavier 22 gauge. We do not recommend 26 gauge for primary estate roofs here.
Twenty four gauge gives enough stiffness and dent resistance for complex roofs and visible slopes, and it reduces oil canning compared with thinner material.
A full tear off and 24 gauge standing seam installation on a typical Thompson’s Station roof often falls in the 12 to 16 dollar per square foot range for roof area, with complex roofs and premium colors or details priced higher.
If your roof area is about 3,000 square feet, that implies a project in the 36,000 to 48,000 dollar range. At 4,000 square feet, the range is roughly 48,000 to 64,000 dollars. Actual pricing depends on your specific roof geometry and conditions, which we verify on site.
No. With the right profile and color, a metal roof fits easily into Thompson’s Station neighborhoods and on rural properties.
We design roofs that fit the streetscapes in Canterbury, Tollgate Village, Bridgemore Village, and Fields of Canterbury, and we work within any HOA guidelines. On acreage homes, a standing seam or metal shingle roof often looks more appropriate than another round of curling shingles.
Yes. Standing seam is one of the best roof types for solar because solar racking can clamp directly to the seams without drilling through the panels.
If you plan to add solar, we can set seam spacing and layout so future arrays land cleanly on south or west slopes and the roof remains watertight and strong.
You choose a metal roofing contractor by looking for deep metal experience, local projects, strong reviews, and clear written warranties.
Ask how many metal roofs they have installed in Thompson’s Station, Franklin, Spring Hill, Nolensville, and Brentwood. Check their reviews and look for consistent 4.8 to 5.0 star ratings. Confirm licensing and insurance. Then insist on a written workmanship warranty that explains who is responsible if there is ever an issue with seams, flashings, or decking.
The Metal Roofers is built around those requirements. We specialize in metal roofing for Williamson County homes and plan to be available for service and support long after your roof is complete.
