Choosing a metal roof can make your roof more durable, improve your home’s energy efficiency, and give your home a distinctive look. When installed correctly, metal roofs better withstand strong winds and severe thunderstorms, and they can improve your roof’s insulation and lower your energy bills.
Daniel Hood Roofing is no stranger to metal roofs. Our team is professionally trained and certified to work with metal roofing materials, and we offer metal roof repairs, installations, maintenance, and replacements.
Our Metal Roofing Services
Metal roof installation
Working with a professional metal roofing company maximizes the lifespan and performance of your roof and saves you the time and hassle of climbing onto it. We work with you every step of the way to make sure you get the results you want. We install both standing seam and through-fastened metal roof systems.
Metal roof repair
Roof damage can happen suddenly and lead to costly issues, including leaks, rust, and storm damage. A timely metal roof repair saves you the stress of a leaky roof, extends the life of your roof, and protects your property in the long run.
Metal roof maintenance
Professional maintenance such as inspections catches problems early, before they become serious. You can also help your roof each season:
- Spring: check your roof for storm damage.
- Summer: look for signs of rust or discoloration on the metal panels.
- Fall: clear leaves and debris, which can cause rust or mold over time.
- Winter: clear as much snow as you safely can to take the weight off your roof and help prevent rust.
Metal roof replacement
Regular maintenance extends the life of your roof, but eventually a replacement may be in order. If your roof is getting older and you notice more consistent issues such as leaks and rust, it may be time to consider replacing your roof.
Benefits of Metal Roofing
Your roof is part of the defensive line for your home, protecting your family as storms roll through East Tennessee. Metal roofing panels have several advantages over shingles:
- Sturdier than other roofing materials
- Better withstands the wear and tear of weather
- Extends the life of your roof as a whole
- More energy-efficient than other roofing materials
- Lower maintenance requirements
- Typically comes with a 25-year paint warranty
- The color you pick is the color on your home for the long run
Types of Metal Roofing Materials
There are several types of metal roofing, each with its own advantages. The main types are aluminum, steel, copper, and zinc.
Aluminum roofing
Aluminum is especially durable and, with proper maintenance, can last up to 50 years. It is also lighter than other roofing materials, which makes installation a little easier and more affordable.
Steel roofing
Steel is the most common type of metal roofing, thanks to its high durability and variety of finishes.
Copper roofing
Copper develops a protective patina over time and can be quieter in the rain. It is a softer metal, so it can be more prone to dents.
Zinc roofing
Zinc is 100% recyclable and oxidizes much like copper. It has a long lifespan and can be on the pricier side.
Signs Your Metal Roof Needs Repair
- Leaks or water damage on your ceiling or upper walls
- Rust or discoloration spots on your roof
- Loose seams or bolts in your metal roofing panels

What affects the cost of metal roofing
| Factor | How it affects the price |

| Panel system | Standing seam and through-fastened systems are installed differently and priced differently. |
| Roof size | Material and labor scale with the area of the roof. |
| Labor involved | Roof pitch, the shape of the roof, and removal of the old roof all add to the work. |

Repair Credit Toward Your Future Roof Replacement

At Daniel Hood Roofing Systems, we offer a Repair-to-Replacement Credit Program that applies the value of your earlier repair toward your new roof installation.
This is especially helpful for homeowners planning a long-lasting upgrade like a durable metal roofing system. Ask about repair credit options when you schedule your roof replacement consultation.

Common questions about metal roofing
How long does a metal roof last?
A metal roof can last 40 to 70 years with proper installation and basic maintenance. It’s a great choice if you want a roof that can handle East Tennessee weather for many years without needing frequent replacement.
Is a metal roof louder when it rains?
No. Most homeowners are surprised by how quiet a metal roof is. When it’s installed over solid roof decking with the right underlayment, the sound of rain is very similar to a shingle roof.
Will a metal roof rust?
Not if it’s installed with quality materials. Today’s metal roofing panels have protective coatings that help prevent rust and stand up well to rain, humidity, and changing weather.
Can a metal roof help lower my energy bill?
Yes. Metal roofs reflect more of the sun’s heat than traditional shingles, which can help keep your home cooler during hot Tennessee summers and may reduce cooling costs.
Is a metal roof worth the extra cost?
For many homeowners, yes. While a metal roof usually costs more upfront than shingles, it lasts much longer, needs less maintenance, and can add value to your home. Over time, many people find it’s a smart investment.
Can a metal roof handle strong storms?
Yes. A properly installed metal roof is built to stand up to heavy rain, strong winds, and the changing weather we often see in East Tennessee.
