Standing seam, metal shingle, and corrugated metal roofing for Nashville-area homes and businesses.
Metal Roofing in Nashville costs $18,000–$45,000 for residential standing seam; 2–3x the cost of asphalt with 2–3x the lifespan. Second Best Roofing has provided metal roofing services across the Nashville metro since 2011—licensed, bonded, and insured in Tennessee.
Metal roofing has become a common choice in the Nashville market for homeowners who plan to stay long-term. A properly installed standing seam metal roof carries a 40–70 year lifespan—far outlasting the 20–25 years typical for architectural shingles in Middle Tennessee’s 68-inch annual rainfall environment. Second Best Roofing installs standing seam panels, metal shingles, and corrugated metal on both residential and commercial structures.
Cost range: $18,000–$45,000 for residential standing seam; 2–3x the cost of asphalt with 2–3x the lifespan. The table below reflects real project costs from Second Best Roofing’s Nashville-area work since 2011.

Yes. Nashville’s high rainfall (68 inches annually) and UV exposure make metal an excellent long-term choice. Metal sheds water faster than shingles, handles hail better, and lasts 2–3 times as long. The higher upfront cost pays back through reduced maintenance and longer replacement cycles.
Standing seam panels run vertically from ridge to eave with concealed fasteners and interlocking seams—the most watertight option and the most durable. Metal shingles mimic the look of asphalt or wood shakes with exposed fasteners; they cost less but aren’t as maintenance-free. We recommend standing seam for any roof with a pitch above 3:12.
Metal roofing is significantly more hail-resistant than asphalt shingles. Standing seam steel with a 26-gauge rating or better is rated Class 4 impact resistant—the highest rating available. This can also reduce your homeowner’s insurance premium in some Tennessee policies.
Not with proper installation. Metal roofing installed over solid decking with appropriate underlayment is no louder than asphalt shingles. The “tin roof in a rainstorm” sound applies to metal on open framing—not residential systems installed over sheathing.
A standard residential standing seam installation takes 2–4 days depending on roof complexity, panel configuration, and any existing tear-off. We provide a firm timeline before the job starts.
