Metal Roofing in Franklin, TN
Class 4 hail resistance, a 50-plus-year lifespan, and lower summer cooling costs, the last roof most Franklin homeowners ever buy.
Middle Tennessee weather is hard on roofs. Spring hail, summer heat that pushes attic temperatures well past 130 degrees, and storm seasons that seem to get more intense every year all take a toll.
Standing seam metal roofing is built for what Middle Tennessee weather delivers. Wegner Roofing & Solar installs premium metal roofing systems across Franklin and Williamson County, family-owned, licensed and insured in Tennessee, backed by hundreds of 5-star reviews and a Price Beat Guarantee.

What Metal Roofing Systems Do You Install?
Standing seam metal roofing is our primary system. These concealed-fastener panels lock together with no exposed screws. We also install exposed-fastener metal panels where the budget or structure calls for them, and both come in a wide range of colors and finishes.
The fastener difference matters more than most homeowners realize. Exposed screws rely on rubber washers that dry out, crack, and back off over years of thermal expansion and contraction. That makes them the most common source of leaks on a metal roof. Standing seam eliminates that failure point entirely by concealing every fastener beneath the interlocking panels. The panels can also expand and contract freely with temperature swings, which is exactly what a roof in Tennessee’s climate needs to do.
Color and finish options range from classic charcoal and matte black to bronze, slate gray, and low-gloss neutrals that satisfy even strict HOA palettes. We’ll bring samples to your estimate so you can see them against your home’s exterior.
Most of the systems we install carry a Class 4 impact rating, the highest hail-resistance classification a roofing material can earn. Our focus is residential, but we also handle light commercial metal roofing across Williamson County.
Why Metal Roofing Makes Sense in Middle Tennessee
Middle Tennessee throws hail, high winds, heavy spring rain, and long humid summers at your roof. Metal answers all four. Class 4 impact resistance, strong wind ratings, clean rain shedding, and reflective coatings reduce summer heat gain.
Here’s how those benefits play out locally:
Hail and wind resistance
Hail that bruises and ages asphalt shingles typically deflects off Class 4 metal. Interlocked standing seam panels also carry wind ratings well beyond what Middle Tennessee’s spring storm season usually delivers.
Rain shedding
Smooth metal panels shed heavy rain fast, with fewer of the granule-clogged valleys and slow-drain spots that plague aging shingle roofs.
Energy efficiency
Reflective “cool roof” coatings bounce solar radiation instead of absorbing it. In a hot Tennessee July, that means a cooler attic and less work for your air conditioner. Many homeowners see a real difference in summer cooling costs.
Longevity and low maintenance
A properly installed standing seam roof routinely outlives two or three asphalt roofs, with no granule loss and no curling.
Curb appeal
Modern metal comes in dozens of colors and profiles, making this premium upgrade a genuine asset at resale in a market like Franklin.
Metal vs. Asphalt Shingles: Which Should You Choose?
Metal costs more up front but lasts two to three times longer, resists hail better, and cuts summer cooling costs. Shingles win on initial price and traditional looks. The right answer depends on your budget, your timeline in the home, and your priorities.
Choose metal if you plan to stay long-term (the lifespan premium pays you back the longer you own the roof), you want maximum hail and wind protection, energy efficiency matters to you, or you simply never want to think about your roof again.
Choose shingles if up-front cost is the deciding factor, you may sell within the next decade, or you prefer the traditional look of architectural shingles.
Two myths worth retiring: a metal roof over solid decking and proper underlayment is not noisy in the rain and modern residential metal looks nothing like a barn roof.
We install both materials, so we have no incentive to push you in either direction. If shingles are the better fit for your situation, our roof replacement in Franklin page covers that option in full.
How Much Does Metal Roofing Cost in Franklin?
Metal roofing costs more up front than asphalt shingles, but what your specific roof costs depends on the system (standing seam vs. exposed fastener), metal gauge, roof size and complexity, and tear-off. Your free estimate puts an exact written number on it.
What moves the price:
- System type. Standing seam’s concealed-fastener engineering costs more than exposed-fastener panels, and delivers more.
- Gauge and finish. Heavier-gauge steel and premium PVDF coatings cost more and last longer.
- Roof complexity. Hips, valleys, dormers, and steep pitches mean more panel fabrication, trim work, and labor than a simple gable roof.
- Tear-off. Removing the existing roof and prepping the decking.
The math that matters isn’t the day-one price but the cost per year of service. A metal roof that lasts 50+ years often beats two consecutive shingle roof replacements on total cost, before counting energy savings and potential insurance discounts. And financing takes the sting out of the up-front difference.

How Long Does a Metal Roof Last and What About Insurance?
A properly installed standing seam metal roof delivers a 50-plus-year service life, often outlasting the home’s second and third shingle roofs combined. Longevity comes from the material and the method: steel doesn’t lose granules, dry out, or curl, and concealed fasteners eliminate the most common long-term leak points.
On insurance: many carriers offer premium discounts for Class 4 impact-resistant roofing because it dramatically reduces hail claims. Discounts vary by carrier and policy, so ask your insurer directly. We’ll provide the product documentation they need.
Can You Finance a Metal Roof in Franklin?
Yes. A premium roof shouldn’t require premium cash up front. Qualified buyers get 0% interest for 6 years with no money down and no out-of-pocket cost to start.
We’ll walk you through financing options at your estimate so you can compare a monthly payment against the long-term value, with no pressure either way.
Is Metal Right for Your Home and Your HOA?
Most Franklin homes are strong candidates for metal roofing, but roof pitch, architectural style, and neighborhood guidelines all factor in. Many Williamson County communities have HOA or Architectural Review Board (ARB) requirements. We’ll help you navigate approval before work begins.
Standing seam suits a wide range of pitches and styles, from modern farmhouse to traditional brick. In HOA communities, color and profile selections often need ARB sign-off. We’ve been through the process and can supply samples, spec sheets, and documentation to smooth the approval.
The easiest starting point is a free assessment. We’ll look at your roof, your home’s style, and your neighborhood’s requirements and give you a straight answer on fit.
What Warranties Come With a Metal Roof?
Two layers of protection, both in writing. The manufacturer’s warranty covers the metal system itself, including finish warranties against fading, chalking, and coating failure that commonly run for decades.
Wegner’s workmanship warranty covers the installation: the flashing, fastening, and detail work that determines whether a great panel becomes a great roof. If an installation issue ever surfaces, we fix it. That’s the promise, in writing.
Why Choose Wegner for Your Metal Roof?
Metal roofing is less forgiving than shingles. Panel fabrication, seam locking, and flashing details demand crews who install metal regularly, not occasionally. Wegner is family-owned since 2011, licensed and insured in Tennessee, ranked #58 on Roofing Contractors Magazine’s Top 100, with hundreds of 5-star reviews and local crews who know Williamson County homes. As your Franklin roofing contractor, we’re accountable to this community, not a storm-chasing outfit that disappears after the season.
Where We Install Metal Roofing
Our crews are based in Franklin, which keeps dispatch fast from downtown’s historic streets out to the newer builds around Cool Springs.
Brentwood and Nolensville bring the HOA-heavy subdivisions where we handle ARB color and profile approvals regularly, while the fast-growing rooftops of Spring Hill and Thompson’s Station are prime candidates for upgrading builder-grade shingles to standing seam.
Out toward College Grove and Fairview, larger lots and farmhouse-style homes suit metal naturally. If you’re nearby but unlisted, call. Chances are we cover you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Metal Roofing
How much does a metal roof cost in Franklin, TN?
The exact number depends on the system (standing seam vs. exposed fastener), metal gauge, roof size and complexity, and tear-off. We scope every roof individually with a free written estimate, and financing is available.
How long does a metal roof last in Tennessee?
A properly installed standing seam metal roof lasts 50-plus years, far longer than asphalt shingles which typically need replacement in 15-30 years. Finish warranties commonly run decades, and the system requires minimal maintenance over its life.
Is metal roofing good for hail in Middle Tennessee?
Yes, it’s one of the best materials for hail country. Standing seam and Class 4 impact-rated metal systems resist the hail and high winds Middle Tennessee storms deliver, and Class 4 ratings may qualify you for insurance premium discounts.
Is a metal roof noisy when it rains?
No. That’s the most persistent metal roofing myth. Installed over solid decking and proper underlayment, a modern metal roof sounds comparable to a shingle roof in the rain. The “noisy barn roof” image comes from open-framed structures without decking.
Metal vs. shingles, which should I choose?
Metal wins on longevity, hail durability, and energy efficiency; shingles win on lower up-front cost. If you’re staying long-term, metal usually pays off. We install both and will help you weigh your options honestly at your free estimate.
Will a metal roof lower my insurance?
It may. Many carriers offer homeowner’s premium discounts for Class 4 impact-resistant roofing because it sharply reduces hail claims. Discounts vary by carrier and policy, so confirm with your insurer; we’ll provide the product documentation they need.
Is metal roofing more energy efficient?
Yes. Reflective “cool roof” coatings bounce solar radiation instead of absorbing it, reducing summer attic heat gain. In Middle Tennessee’s long cooling season, that can translate to noticeably lower air-conditioning costs compared to dark asphalt shingles.
Do you offer financing on metal roofing?
Yes. Qualified buyers can finance with zero down and a 6-year interest-free term. We’ll go over the details at your estimate.
