Metal roofing has moved from a commercial and agricultural staple to one of the most sought-after options in residential roofing — and for good reason. A properly installed metal roof can last 40 to 70 years, stands up to the hail, wind, and heat that Middle Tennessee routinely delivers, and can meaningfully reduce your cooling costs. At Roof Repair Expert LLC, we install, repair, and replace metal roofing systems of all types for homes and commercial buildings throughout Murfreesboro and the surrounding area.

We handle the full scope of metal roofing work, from new installations to repairs and restoration coatings.
we’ll walk you through the metal roofing options that make the most sense for your home or building.
Standing seam metal roofing is the premium option for residential and commercial applications. Panels run vertically from ridge to eave with raised seams that interlock, creating a continuous weather barrier with no exposed fasteners. Standing seam systems accommodate thermal expansion naturally, making them extremely durable over time. They’re the top choice for homeowners who want the longest possible lifespan and the cleanest contemporary aesthetic.
Corrugated panels feature a wave-form profile and are typically fastened through the panel face. They’re one of the most cost-effective metal roofing options and are extremely durable, though they require proper sealing at fastener points over time.
R-panel and similar ribbed systems offer a middle ground between corrugated’s economy and standing seam’s premium profile. They’re widely used in commercial and agricultural applications and increasingly in residential projects as well.
Metal tiles replicate the appearance of traditional clay or concrete tile but at a fraction of the weight. They’re a good option for homeowners who want the aesthetic of tile without the structural requirements.
Stone-coated steel panels are coated with acrylic and stone granules, giving them the appearance of asphalt shingles or wood shake with the longevity and strength of steel. They’re particularly popular in neighborhoods with HOA restrictions.
The most common metal roofing material. Galvanized steel is coated with zinc for corrosion resistance; Galvalume steel adds aluminum to the zinc coating for improved performance. Steel is strong, cost-effective, and widely available in a range of finishes.
Lighter than steel and naturally corrosion-resistant, aluminum is an excellent choice in high-moisture environments. It costs more than steel but requires no anti-corrosion coating.
Copper is the premium choice, known for its distinctive patina and exceptional longevity. It’s primarily used in accent applications — valleys, dormers, cupolas — rather than full roof installations, due to its high material cost.
Standing seam metal roofing systems routinely last 50 to 70 years with minimal maintenance. Corrugated and ribbed systems typically fall in the 40 to 60 year range depending on material, coating quality, and maintenance. Metal roofing outperforms asphalt in virtually every durability category: wind resistance (standing seam systems typically carry 120+ mph wind ratings), hail resistance, fire resistance (Class A rated), and resistance to moss, algae, and rot.
Metal roofing carries a higher upfront cost than asphalt shingles. Standing seam is the most expensive metal option, followed by stone-coated steel, metal tile, and corrugated. However, when amortized over the lifespan of the roof, metal roofing often costs less per year of service than asphalt. For many homeowners, the combination of longevity, reduced maintenance, and energy savings makes metal roofing the more cost-effective choice over time. We provide full, itemized estimates so you can make an apples-to-apples comparison.
Metal roofing reflects solar radiation rather than absorbing it, which keeps attic temperatures lower during Murfreesboro’s hot summers and reduces cooling load. Many metal roofing products qualify for Energy Star ratings and may be eligible for utility rebates. Reflective coatings, available in a wide range of colors, maximize the cool-roof performance of metal systems.
One of the most common concerns about metal roofing is noise during rain and hail events. Modern metal roofing installed over a solid deck with a proper underlayment is no louder than asphalt shingles — the “tin roof in a rainstorm” experience is associated with metal roofing installed over open framing without insulation, which is not how residential systems are installed. With a properly installed solid deck and underlayment system, rain noise on a metal roof is well within normal range.
Metal roofing installation begins with a full teardown of existing material and a deck inspection, identical to an asphalt replacement. We then install appropriate underlayment — often a high-temperature synthetic product — followed by the metal roofing system per the manufacturer’s installation specifications. Trim pieces, transitions, flashing, and ridge caps are installed to ensure a complete and watertight system. Fasteners, clips, and sealants are all selected for compatibility with the specific metal product being installed to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure long-term performance.
Yes. Metal roofing is consistently associated with increased resale value, in part because buyers recognize the reduced future maintenance and replacement cost. Some real estate studies suggest metal roofing recovers a high percentage of its installation cost in home resale value.
No more than any other roof material. Metal roofing is non-combustible and does not increase the likelihood of a lightning strike. In fact, because metal roofing won’t ignite if struck, it’s considered safer than wood or asphalt in this regard.
In some cases, a metal roof can be installed over existing shingles, which eliminates tear-off costs. This is only advisable if the existing deck is structurally sound and the added weight is within the roof structure’s tolerance. We’ll assess this during your estimate.
