Metal roofs for homes, from a crew that actually does metal
A lot of the big roofing companies around here will tell you they don’t do metal. It has to be measured and cut to the inch, and it’s easy to get wrong, so they pass. We don’t. Here’s who usually calls us:
- Homeowners replacing shingles who want metal this time
- Storm and insurance jobs where a damaged roof is the time to switch
- Cabins, lake houses and farmhouses where metal just looks right
- Metal roofs that leak and need someone who knows how to fix them
We roof houses and existing buildings. We don’t sell metal buildings, pole barns or carports.

Exposed-fastener or standing seam
Two ways to put metal on a house. We’ll tell you which one fits yours.
29-gauge exposed-fastener
The screw-down panel most homeowners ask for, and our standard residential metal roof. Panels run from ridge to eave and fasten through the face with gasketed screws.
26-gauge standing seam
The panels lock together at raised seams, so no screws show on the roof face. Clean lines and a more modern look. Standing seam starts at 26 gauge, and that’s what most of our standing seam customers pick.
Want an even heavier panel? We also install 26-gauge screw-down and 24-gauge standing seam. See the FAQ below, or just ask at your estimate.
Metal roofing color chart
Every color we can get in metal roofing: solid colors, crinkle-textured finishes and wood grain looks. Colors on a screen can look a little different from the real panel.
Shingles or metal?
Both make a good roof, and we install both, so we’ve got no reason to push you one way. Here’s how they compare on a house in Middle Tennessee.
| GAF architectural shingles | Metal roof | |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Lower | Higher. Standing seam costs the most. |
| Lifespan | 25 to 30 years | Standing seam: 40 to 60+ years. Exposed-fastener: the panels last decades; the screws need redoing around 15 to 20 years. |
| Look | Classic. Matches most houses in the neighborhood. | Suits farmhouses, cabins and lake homes. Lots of colors. |
| Hail and wind | Good, with a full GAF system | Handles hail better. Wind rating depends on the panel. |
| Summer heat | Absorbs heat | Reflects heat, which can ease cooling |
| Upkeep | Replaced when granules wear off or edges curl | Exposed-fastener: check screws every few years. Standing seam: very little. |
| Noise | Quiet | Quiet over solid decking. Not like a barn. |
| Repairs | Any roofer can fix them | Needs a crew that does metal. We do. |
| Storm claims | Like-for-like replacement | A chance to switch. Your policy decides. |

How a metal roof job works with us
- Free estimate. We get on the roof, measure it and photograph what’s there now. Metal is cut to the inch, so the measurements matter more than they do with shingles.
- A straight recommendation. Exposed-fastener or standing seam, and which color, based on your house and what you want. If shingles are the better call, we’ll tell you that too.
- Prep and decking check. If we find soft or rotten decking, we photograph it and show you before we fix anything, so the new roof goes on solid wood.
- The install. Our own crew, not a sub. Panels cut to fit your roof, with trim and flashing at every edge, pipe and vent. Photo updates as the job moves and a clean site every evening.
- Final walk-through. Final photos, a cleaned-up yard and a quality check before we call it done.

Metal roof repair
Already have a metal roof that leaks? We fix those too.
Why metal roofs leak
Most metal roof leaks start small: a screw that’s backed out, a worn washer, a seam or flashing that’s opened up, a cracked pipe boot. Caught early, they’re usually a simple fix. Left alone, water gets into the decking and the ceiling.
What we check
Every repair visit covers the spots where metal roofs usually leak.
Screws and washers
Backed-out screws and worn washers are a common source of leaks.
Seams and panel laps
Where panels overlap and lock together.
Ridge cap, trim and flashing
Edges, valleys and walls where water finds a way in.
Pipe boots and vents
Every pipe, vent and penetration through the roof.
Decking under the leak
If water’s gotten in, we check the wood underneath.

What customers say about our metal roofs
“CountryLand roofing was able to fix a leak in our metal building here at Compassion Church in Waverly Tn. We had attempted to fix this issue countless times before, but to no avail. We are very grateful for the diligent work of CountryLand roofing and their roofing team for fixing this issue.”
Austin L., Compassion Church, Waverly · Google review
“Awesome experience and highly recommend. Chase Arnold was extremely helpful and oversaw the project from estimate to completion. We had storm damage and replaced our roof with an upgrade from shingles to metal. He answered all questions promptly and got the job done right. Extremely happy with the work, and the company.”
Anthony A. · Google review
“Very happy with their professionalism, quality of work and job sites were clean during and after. They have done 2 different residential shingle roofs and one metal roof for a shop in the last 5 yrs for me. No complaints.”
Trey S. · Google review
Local, owner-run and still here next year
Metal is unforgiving. A panel cut wrong or a screw driven crooked shows up as a leak a few years later, and by then a lot of crews are hard to find.
Tyler and Harrison have run CountryLand since 2016. Tyler has been roofing in Middle Tennessee for 20+ years. Harrison has worked construction his whole career.

- 210+ Google reviews at 4.9 stars, more than any roofer in Dickson County.
Storm damage? It may be time to go metal
We recently took a storm-damaged double-wide from shingles to standing seam through the homeowner’s insurance claim. Your policy decides what’s covered. We document the damage, meet your adjuster and tell you straight what switching to metal would involve. Read how insurance roof jobs work.
Frequently asked questions
Choosing metal
What do metal roof gauges mean?
Gauge is the thickness of the steel. The lower the number, the thicker the panel. Here’s what we install on homes:
- 29 gauge: our standard exposed-fastener (screw-down) panel and what most homeowners choose.
- 26 gauge: a heavier panel. We install it as exposed-fastener or standing seam, and 26 is where standing seam starts.
- 24 gauge: the heaviest we install, in standing seam, for homeowners who want an extra-beefy panel.
We’ll walk you through the options at your free estimate.
Is 29-gauge metal good enough for a house?
Yes. A 29-gauge exposed-fastener panel is the standard residential metal roof, and it’s what most homeowners who call us about metal want. If you want a heavier panel, we also install 26-gauge exposed-fastener.
What’s the difference between exposed-fastener and standing seam?
Exposed-fastener (screw-down) panels are fastened through the face with gasketed screws, so you can see the screw heads. Standing seam panels lock together at raised seams with the fasteners hidden underneath, for a cleaner look. Standing seam starts at 26 gauge.
Do you install 24-gauge standing seam?
Yes, if you want it. It’s a heavier panel and not common on houses, but we’ll install it on request.
What colors can I get?
Every color we offer is on our metal roofing color chart: solid colors, crinkle-textured finishes and wood grain looks. We’ll go over the options with you at your free estimate.
The job
Do you build metal barns, shops or carports?
No. We put metal roofs on houses and existing buildings. If you’re building a new pole barn or metal building, a metal-building company that supplies the building and the crew is usually the better deal.
Can you fix a leak in a metal roof you didn’t install?
Yes. Most metal roof leaks come from screws, washers, seams, flashing or pipe boots. We find the source, show you photos, and fix it.
Who do we deal with during the job?
One point of contact from our team, from the estimate to the final photos. You won’t get passed around.
Cost and insurance
How much does a metal roof cost?
It depends on the size and pitch of your roof, the panel you pick and what has to come off first. We give you a written quote after the free estimate. No price over the phone, because we’d be guessing.
Will insurance pay for a metal roof?
If your roof has covered storm damage, your claim pays for that damage, and your policy has the final word. We’ve taken storm-damaged homes from shingles to standing seam through a claim, and we’ll walk you through how that works for you. See how insurance roof jobs work.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Check the financing box on the form above, or see our financing page.
Do you work in my area?
We’re based in Dickson and put metal roofs on homes across Middle Tennessee. See all the areas we serve.
After the install
Does a metal roof need maintenance?
Not much, but it’s worth a look now and then, especially after a big storm. Screws, washers, seams and flashing are where trouble starts, and small fixes keep them from turning into leaks.
Should I get my metal roof checked after a storm?
Yes, if you had hail or high wind. Hail can dent panels and wind can loosen trim. The inspection is free.
