Color and surface were chosen for the site, not the swatch book. Dark gray sits naturally beside bark and gravel; the fine texture softens reflection under bright Tennessee sky. Midday, the ribs take a gentle highlight that outlines the roof without glare. By late afternoon, under hardwood shade, the surface goes matte and lets the porch do the talking. It pairs easily with black iron, galvanized gates, and the seasonal welcome sign, details that make a place feel lived‑in and local.

Our Tennessee crew formed panels to length on site and set them from eave to ridge without mid‑run breaks, so the big planes sit flat and true. Rows of fasteners are straight and color‑matched, side laps are stitched tight so edges lie clean.

This classic wave metal roof was sized to the site and detailed to last, so twenty summers from now, and fifteen after that, the house will still read as one clear piece against grass and trees.

Under the skin, the assembly is as disciplined as the lines you see. We removed the old roofing to the deck, replaced soft boards, re‑fastened sound sheathing, and laid a premium synthetic underlayment across the field with added protection at eaves, valleys, and service openings. The result is a roof that behaves in Tennessee weather: quick summer storms shed cleanly through lined valleys; July heat is tempered by a breathing attic; fall leaves slide past hemmed edges instead of catching at the perimeter.
