Metal Roofing in Franklin

Metal Roofing for Franklin homes

Franklin pairs a historic downtown and older streets with large newer subdivisions, so roofs here range from century-old homes to houses on their first set of shingles. In Franklin, metal is a popular choice for porch roofs, bay windows and farmhouse-style homes, and for barns and outbuildings on larger lots outside town. On older homes we plan the transitions between metal accents and the shingled main roof so they stay watertight for decades.

What's included

Standing seam and steel roofing systems for homeowners who want a long-lasting, low-maintenance roof. Depending on your roof, the work can include:

• Standing seam
• Exposed-fastener steel panels
• Metal shingles and shakes
• Accent roofs
• Trim and accessories
• The deck and underlayment.
• Expansion and movement.
• Flashing details.
• Heat and storms.

Local conditions in Franklin

Franklin's older homes often have steep, cut-up roofs with dormers, chimneys and porch roofs, while many subdivision homes have multiple gables and valleys over garages and bump-outs. On older houses, expect possible plank decking and more than one old layer; we plan for both in the quote rather than surprising you on the day.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for metal roofing in Franklin, get clear answers to these before signing:

• Is the system standing seam with concealed fasteners or an exposed-fastener panel?
• What gauge and finish are the panels, and what does the finish warranty cover?
• What underlayment will go under the metal?
• How will chimneys, skylights and walls be flashed?
• Where will snow slide off, and do I need snow guards?

Permits and approvals

Building permits in Franklin are handled by the City of Franklin. Replacing shingles with similar materials often doesn't need a permit, but structural repairs, new roof framing and new skylight openings generally do, and homes in Franklin's historic districts may need design approval for exterior changes. We confirm what applies to your project during planning.
