Metal Roofing in Murfreesboro, TN
A metal roof outlasts asphalt by decades and holds up against the hail and wind Middle Tennessee sees every storm season. We install standing seam and exposed fastener systems to manufacturer spec, with a written quote before anything starts.
Why Murfreesboro Homeowners Are Looking At Metal
Asphalt is still the most common roof in Rutherford County, but more homeowners are asking about metal, and the reasons are practical, not trendy. A metal roof handles hail, high wind, and Tennessee summer heat better than asphalt does. It costs more upfront, but it can outlast two or three asphalt replacements over the life of a home. Roof Troops installs both standing seam and exposed fastener systems, and we’ll tell you honestly which one fits your roof and your budget. You get a written quote before we start, and that number doesn’t move unless something changes underneath, and we call you first if it does.
Veteran Owned And Operated
Roof Troops is a veteran owned roofing company based in Murfreesboro. We handle full roof replacements on residential homes, and we do it with manufacturer certified materials and a written quote before any work starts.
What A Roof Troops Metal Installation Covers
A roof installation is the full job, done right, with nothing hidden. Here is exactly what is included on every Roof Troops installation, so you know what you’re paying for before we start.
Tear-Off And Deck Inspection
We remove your existing roofing down to bare decking and check every section for soft spots or rot. Any repairs get written out and priced before we touch them, no surprises once panels are on.
High-Temperature Synthetic Underlayment
Metal roofing needs underlayment rated for the heat a metal panel holds, not standard asphalt felt. This protects the deck and keeps your manufacturer warranty intact.
Panel Installation To Manufacturer Spec
Standing seam goes down with concealed fasteners and interlocking seams; exposed fastener panels use weather-sealed screws at the correct spacing. Either way, it's installed exactly how the manufacturer requires so your warranty holds.
Trim, Flashing, And Closures At Every Edge
Ridge caps, rake trim, valley flashing, and closure strips seal every transition where water could get behind a panel. This is where most metal roof leaks start when a contractor cuts corners.
Site Cleanup And Magnetic Sweep
We run a magnetic roller across your yard and driveway before we leave to pick up stray fasteners. The job isn't done until your property is clean.
Is Metal Roofing the Right Call for Your Home?
Metal isn’t the right fit for every roof or every budget, and we’ll tell you plainly if it isn’t yours. A few situations where Murfreesboro homeowners typically choose metal over another asphalt replacement:
Repeated hail and wind damage. If storm damage keeps sending you back for asphalt repairs, metal handles impact and high wind far better. You stop budgeting for the same repair every storm season.
Wanting a longer-term roof. Asphalt typically needs replacing every 15 to 20 years in this climate. Metal can last 40 to 70 years depending on the system, so you’re not planning another reroof in a decade.
Summer energy costs. Metal reflects more heat than asphalt, which can lower attic temperatures during peak summer. That translates to less strain on your AC during the months it runs hardest.
A steep or complex roofline. Standing seam sheds water fast on steep pitches and handles valleys and dormers cleanly. It’s a strong fit where water needs to move off the roof quickly.
Already down to the decking anyway. If you’re doing a full tear-off regardless, it’s the right moment to compare metal against another asphalt reroof. We’ll walk you through the real cost difference for your specific roof.
The honest answer is that price varies depending on several things. We’ll give you an exact number in your written estimate. Here’s what moves it.
Free estimate and honest assessment.
We come out, get on the roof, and tell you whether metal makes sense for your home and budget. You get a written quote before anything else happens.
Panel and system selection
We'll walk you through standing seam versus exposed fastener, in the finishes available through our manufacturer certifications.
Written quote, no moving targets
The number we give you is the number you pay, unless we find a structural issue underneath the old roof. If that happens, we call you before doing anything.
The installation itself
Metal installations typically take 24-48 hours, and we'll give you a realistic timeline before we start.
Inspection and cleanup
We walk the finished roof with you, run the magnetic sweep, and clear the site before we leave.
Warranty
Your metal roof carries the manufacturer's material warranty through our certification, plus our own workmanship warranty.
How a Roof Troops Metal Installation Works
Standing Seam Vs. Exposed Fastener
Metal roofing isn’t one product, it’s two different systems with different costs and different maintenance over time. We install both, and we’ll help you pick based on your roof and your budget, not whichever one costs more.
What Affects The Cost Of A Metal Roof In Murfreesboro
Metal costs more than asphalt, and the range depends on more than square footage alone.
Panel system. Standing seam costs more than exposed fastener due to labor and the concealed fastening method. We’ll quote both if you want a direct comparison for your roof.
Roof size and complexity. A steep roof, multiple valleys, or several dormers takes more time and material than a simple rectangular roof. We measure your actual roof before quoting, not a rough estimate.
Tear-off scope. If we’re removing multiple layers of old roofing or repairing damaged decking, that adds to the job. We tell you what we find and what it costs before we touch it.
Trim and penetrations. Chimneys, skylights, and vents each need their own flashing and detail work. More penetrations means more labor at those points.
Finish and color. Premium finishes and less common colors can carry a higher material cost than standard options. We’ll show you what’s available at each price point.
A metal roof is a decision you live with for decades, so who installs it matters more than it does with an asphalt reroof you’ll replace again in 20 years. Roof Troops is veteran-owned, built by Navy veteran Don Hane, and the same accountability that carried through two tours of service carries into every job we run. We’re manufacturer-certified through GAF, Tamko, and CertainTeed, so your metal roof is installed exactly to the standard that keeps the warranty valid. You get a written quote before we start and a straight answer if metal isn’t the right fit, we’re not going to sell you a system you don’t need. If you’re a veteran, active duty, reservist, National Guard member, police officer, firefighter, or EMS, that service earns you a 10% discount on the job.

What Murfreesboro Homeowners Say
Metal Roofing Questions From Murfreesboro Homeowners
Is a metal roof worth the extra cost over asphalt?
It depends on how long you plan to stay in the home. Metal costs more upfront but can last two to three times longer than asphalt, so the cost per year of roof life is often lower even though the sticker price is bigger.
Is a metal roof loud in the rain?
Not with a proper installation. Once panels go over solid decking and underlayment, the noise difference from asphalt is minimal, the “tin roof in a rainstorm” idea comes from old barn-style installs with no solid deck underneath.
How long does a metal roof last?
Most systems last 40 to 70 years depending on panel type and finish, compared to 15 to 20 years for asphalt in this climate.
How long does an installation take?
Depending on size and scope, but generally we try to finish in 1 day.
Do you offer financing for a metal roof?
Yes, through our financing partner Acorn Finance, with options available without a hard credit pull.
