Standing seam: no exposed fasteners, no compromise.

Both are excellent when installed right; they solve different problems.

Architectural shingles (like GAF Timberline HDZ) cost roughly half as much installed, look right on most Middle Tennessee homes, install in a day, and carry outstanding warranties. For most homeowners, they're the sweet spot.

Standing-seam metal costs significantly more up front but lasts 40–60 years, sheds storms beautifully, and can lower cooling bills. It makes the most sense if this is your forever home, or on farmhouse/modern styles where the look is the point.

We install both, so you'll get a straight comparison for your specific house instead of a pitch for whatever we happen to sell.

Two layers of protection:

• Materials: GAF shingles carry a Lifetime limited warranty on the shingles themselves when installed as part of a qualifying system.
• Workmanship: Because we're a GAF Master Elite contractor, we can register enhanced system warranties up to the Golden Pledge® Warranty — which includes up to 25 years of workmanship coverage inspected and backed by GAF directly.

That second layer is the one most homeowners never get. A typical contractor's "workmanship warranty" is only as good as the company behind it; a Golden Pledge is honored by GAF even if the installing contractor is gone. We register every eligible warranty and hand you the paperwork before we're done.
