METAL ROOFING IN TENNESSEE

STANDING SEAM | EXPOSED FASTENER | METAL SHINGLES

UPGRADE TO A METAL ROOF

A metal roof is a stunning and long-lasting alternative to asphalt. This roofing material has been used for centuries because it is durable, waterproof, and beautiful. When properly maintained, certain metal roof materials can last for centuries. Hildesheim Cathedral in Germany has an original copper roof that was installed in 1280 AD, and Kronborg Castle has copper roofs that were installed in 1585 AD. This resilience gives metal roofs a lasting value that adds curb appeal and often a higher resale price to homes.

Generally the thinnest and lightest of roofing materials, metal tends to shed snow and rain quickly. It also offers tremendous life cycle savings. Newer technical improvements make the latest metal roof materials better than ever for sloped roofs. Finishes and waterproof fasteners have been created to make metal roofs less expensive, easier to install and less maintenance intensive.

Types of Metal Roofing

Antebellum Roofworks manufactures and installs their own metal roofing products to ensure the highest quality. We have all types of metal roofing materials available, from copper to stainless steel to aluminum and alloys. There are three general choices of metal roofing types:

Standing Seam — A traditional favorite: Standing seam is an increasingly popular metal roof choice that evokes a country charm or industrial-chic feel. It is identified by its parallel raised seam lines running from the apex of the roof to the eaves. We can install either Mechanically Seamed, Snap Lock or Nail Strip standing seam roof systems.
Exposed Fastener Panels — An economical choice: Exposed fastener panels have a similar look to standing seam roofs except the ridges are less prominent and they are intermittently spaced based on the panel placement. You are also able to see the fasteners upon a closer look, but they are the same color as the roofing material and do not interrupt its beauty. We offer a full line of exposed fastener panels that are relatively inexpensive and come in a variety of styles and colors. Please note that not all homes and structures are
designed for this metal roofing choice. Roof pitch, size and details such as valleys and walls create design limitations that affect weatherproofing integrity. Exposed fastener panels are designed for agricultural applications.
Metal Shingles — A beautiful alternative: Metal shingles have a design very similar to the familiar asphalt shingles. Like regular shingles, they are quick to install, easy to repair and can conform to almost any roof shape with ease. They can come in a wide variety of cut shapes, finishes and colors. We supply and install a full line of the best metal shingle products with a full range of styles and choices.

Methods of Standing Seam Metal Installation

There are many different ways to approach an installation for a standing seam metal roof or structure. Antebellum Roofworks generally uses the following methods since they have been proven as the most reliable and effective:

Mechanical Lock — The 1″, 1.5″ and 2″ Mechanical Lock roof system is the traditional standing seam roof system used for centuries all over the world. The Mechanical Lock roof system is considered the best metal roof system available because it is a concealed fastener panel installed with clips and then locked together by bending the seams 90 degrees (Single Lock) or 180 degrees (Double Lock). The locking pattern of the Mechanically Locked standing seam roof system makes it an ideal choice for both low and steep slope roof systems on any residential, historical, or commercial building.
1″, 1.5″ and 2″ Snap Lock — The 1″, 1.5″ and 2″ Snap Lock panel is a concealed fastener standing seam roof system. The Snap Lock system combines the look and advantages of traditional standing seam with panel features that decrease labor and equipment costs. The panel is attached to the roof deck using metal clips and is then snapped together at the seams. The panel design and roof clips hold the panels together during high wind situations. This panel is highly popular in many of our residential, historical, and commercial projects.
1″ and 1.5″ Nailstrip — The 1″ and 1.5″ Nailstrip panel is a concealed fastener standing seam roof system. The Nailstrip panel combines the concealed fastener roof system advantages with the ease of application similar to many through-fastened roof panels. Because the panel can be formed with light gauge steel or aluminum and the panel is fastened to the roof deck without clips, this panel is the residential economy choice product in the standing seam line.
1″ and 1.5″ Batten Cap — The 1″ and 1.5″ Batten Cap is a concealed fastener standing seam roof system. This series is a traditional standing seam panel that enhances the appearance of asphalt shingle and metal panel combinations. The panel is designed to suit the needs of the residential roofing market, and it is an easy panel to install compared to other standing seam roof systems. Its design also makes it a good match for mansard roofs commonly seen in commercial construction.
1″ and 1.5″ Flush Wall Panel — The 1″ and 1.5″ Flush Wall Panel is an interlocking wall/soffit panel utilized in a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. There is very high demand for this type of seamless field-fabricated panel. We are one of the few Flush Wall Panel fabrication experts in the Nashville area, which often opens the door for our other accompanying services like roofing panel and gutter installation.

Custom Panels — We have the unique ability of forming other 1″ and 1.5″ panels in a convex and concave manner. We can curve standard width panels or tapered panels in an elliptical shape, making them ideal for round dormers and vaulted roof applications.

We bought an antebellum house and the roof was leaking when we took occupancy. There was a porch with an internal gutter system that other roofers were intimidated by. We hired Kevin to do an entire roof replacement. Kevin knows what he is doing, was very professional, and did a great job. I cannot recommend him enough, and I would say my interaction with him has probably been my most pleasant experience with a contractor.

Kevin the owner, took before pictures of our roof damage in order to show us the problem as well as taking after pictures to show us that he had fixed it. He worked with our insurance company and saved us a lot of money. Very professional, southern hospitality.

We got an estimate the very same day we called! The Project Manager was very hands on and always on site to supervise the storm damage repair work that was being done on our home.
