Is a metal roof worth it in Knoxville?
Metal roofing Knoxville TN projects cost more up front than shingles, but metal sheds rain and snow fast, resists wind and lasts many years with little upkeep. It makes the most sense if you plan to stay, want a modern or farmhouse look, or are roofing a barn.

Shingle-to-Metal Conversions
Converting a shingle roof to metal changes the look of a home in one project. On this Thorn Grove home, we removed the shingles, prepared the deck, installed underlayment, then set metal panels, hips, valleys and ridge cap.
Details decide whether a metal roof stays dry: hip and ridge closures, valley flashing and pipe boots made for metal.
Metal Roofs for Barns and Outbuildings
Metal is the standard roof for pole barns, garages and farm buildings. On this Jefferson County barn, for example, the crew set copper-colored panels over synthetic underlayment in long runs.
Humidity, Condensation and Underlayment
Knoxville mornings average 85% relative humidity, and August and September mornings run near 90% (NOAA Comparative Climatic Data). When warm, damp air meets cool metal, water can condense on the underside of the panels. So underlayment over the deck and good attic ventilation keep that moisture away from the wood. We plan both before panels go on.
Metal Roof Repairs
Older metal roofs usually leak at fasteners, pipe boots and ridge closures rather than in the open panel. We replace worn boots and failed fasteners, reseal closures and replace damaged panels if needed. Call us before you coat a leaking metal roof, so the source gets fixed first.
What Affects the Price of a Metal Roof
- Panel type and gauge.
- Roof shape. Hips, valleys and dormers also add trim and labor.
- Tear-off. Removing shingles and repairing decking first.
- Trim and color. Ridge, rake and eave trim, and painted finishes.
- Penetrations. Pipes, chimneys and skylights each need flashing for metal.
Our Metal Roofing Process
- Consultation. We measure and talk through panel style and color.
- Written estimate.
- Property protection. Before a single shingle comes off, we shield HVAC units, shrubs and landscaping with the Catch-All system, breathable debris netting that catches shingles and nails before they land, so nothing gets scratched, crushed or buried in debris.
- Tear-off and deck repair where converting from shingles.
- Underlayment and trim.
- Panels, flashing and ridge cap.
- Cleanup and magnet sweep.
- Walkthrough and warranty paperwork.
All work is completed to Tennessee building code.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you remove my old shingles before installing metal?
Yes. We tear off the shingles down to the deck first. That lets us check and repair the deck and install underlayment made for metal, so moisture and old damage are not trapped under the new roof.
Is a metal roof noisy in the rain?
Over solid decking with underlayment and an insulated attic, rain on a metal roof sounds much like rain on shingles. Open-frame barns are louder because there is no deck or attic.
Do you repair existing metal roofs?
Yes. Most metal leaks come from fasteners, pipe boots and ridge closures, so that is where we look first. We replace what has failed, then show you photos of the fix.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We offer 18 months same-as-cash financing, subject to credit approval, so you can spread out the cost. Ask about it when we give you your written estimate.
Will you protect my landscaping and AC unit?
Yes. Before tear-off we set up the Catch-All system: breathable debris netting plus shields over your A/C unit, shrubs and beds that catch falling shingles and nails. Plants are never left under hot plastic, debris goes out with the dumpster, and we finish with a magnet sweep of the yard before we leave.
