Metal and shingle roofing with proper underlayment, flashing, ridge vents and drip edges, matched to the building's pitch, your budget and the Middle Tennessee weather.
A roof protects everything beneath it, so details matter. Metal panels shed water and snow quickly and last a long time, while shingles are familiar, quiet and easy to match. Owners in Nashville choose based on style, noise, cost and the pitch of their building, and they want roofs that hold up in wind and hail.
We choose the roofing type from the pitch and use, then install underlayment, drip edge, flashing and fasteners as the maker's instructions require. We plan ridge and soffit vents so heat and moisture can escape, and we detail edges, penetrations and valleys carefully. We explain sound, expansion, color options and what coverage makers describe in their own materials, without making promises of our own. Roofs fail at edges, penetrations and transitions, so those are where we spend the most time. Drip edges guide water into gutters, flashing wraps vents and walls, and underlayment protects the deck if wind drives rain under the surface layer. We choose fasteners and sealants suited to the material and the weather. We also talk about snow and ice, the sound of rain on metal and how a lighter color can reduce heat in summer.
Metal and shingle roofs differ in cost, sound, weight and look, and pitch limits the choices.
Underlayment, ice and water protection in key spots and drip edges help keep water out.
Walls, vents and valleys are detailed carefully, because leaks start at joints.
Ridge and soffit vents help the roof breathe and reduce heat and moisture in the building.
