“We had a carport out in the country that needed a proper metal cover, and they retrofitted it right over the old shingles, about 600 square feet of standing seam. Crew of three knocked it out in a day and a half and hauled off every scrap. No more leaks dripping on the truck.”
Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit)
“Our back porch renovation was stalled because nobody wanted to touch the copper roof section over the terrace. Athens Metal Roofing re-flashed it and replaced two damaged copper panels, and it looks better than the rest of the house now. Took a little longer than quoted, but the craftsmanship is honestly beautiful.”
Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing
“Our old barn on the farm was leaking every time it rained and I figured we'd have to tear the whole roof off. They repaired the rusted panels, replaced the screws, and added new flashing around the ridge, a fraction of what a full replacement would've cost. Barn's dry through two big storms since.”
Commercial & Agricultural Metal Roofing
“Impressed is an understatement. Standing seam on our 2,400 sq ft house, done in four days with a crew that cleaned up so well you couldn't tell they'd been here except for the gorgeous new roof.”
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
“Had a leak near the ridge vents that two other outfits couldn't figure out. These guys found the flashing issue in twenty minutes, fixed it, and re-sealed the vent boots while they were up there. Grateful doesn't cover it, first dry spring in years.”
Metal Roof Repair
“Replaced our tired old metal roof with new ribbed panels in a dark bronze finish. They walked me through every option without any pressure and the price held exactly where they quoted it. Only gripe is the debris pile sat in the driveway an extra day, but the roof itself is flawless.”
Metal Roof Replacement
“We went with stone-coated steel to keep the neighborhood look, and I was surprised how much quieter it is than I expected. Whole job on our ranch house took about a week and the crew was respectful of our yard the entire time.”
Stone-Coated Steel Roofing
“New metal roof on our house and I couldn't be happier, straight lines, tight seams, and they even re-hung the gutters to match the new panels. Showed up when they said they would, every single day.”

Homeowners searching for a metal roofing contractor near me in Athens need a crew that understands what this corner of the Piedmont does to a roof. Athens Metal Roofing is your local source for metal roof installation, replacement, re-roof, and repair, serving Athens, Watkinsville, Bogart, Winterville, Good Hope, and the surrounding communities. We work on everything from historic homes near Prince Avenue to newer subdivision builds and farm outbuildings on red-clay acreage.
This climate is hard on roofing. Violent summer thunderstorms, straight-line wind, winter ice, and a dense canopy of white oaks, loblolly pines, and magnolias mean limbs fall and fasteners work loose. Add a large stock of 15 to 30 year old screw-down roofs whose washers are aging out, and you have steady demand for honest, local repair work. Our network of licensed, insured local contractors handles steep pitches, heavy tree cover, and high-exposure sites without the storm-chaser routine.
Most metal roof leaks we see in Athens are not mysterious. On 15 to 30 year old exposed-fastener roofs, the number one cause is fasteners backing out as the EPDM sealing washers dry, shrink, and crack. Once that seal fails, water slips past the screw head and travels along the purlins and decking, often showing up inside the house far from the actual entry point. The same hidden travel happens at separated seams from thermal movement, failed pipe boots, and flashing gaps at chimneys, skylights, and valleys. Wind-lifted panels and punctures from fallen limbs round out the list.
Ignoring a small leak is expensive. Water that tracks along framing can rot sheathing, saturate insulation, and stain ceilings before you ever see a drip. That is why we start with a real inspection and explain what we find in plain language. Sometimes a targeted metal roof leak repair is all you need. Other times, a full screw replacement and re-fastening restores a watertight roof for a fraction of replacement cost. We will tell you when repair is the right call and when it is throwing money at a failing system.
If you are seeing active drips, lifted panels, or rusty fasteners, call (706) 715-4130 and we will schedule an inspection. Our metal roof repair team handles everything from a single failed boot to storm-wide panel damage, and we document what we find so you can make an informed decision rather than a pressured one. You can also request a free estimate online.
We install the full range of metal systems and match the roof to the building, not the other way around. Standing Seam Metal Roofing uses concealed clips and hidden fasteners for a clean, premium profile with no screws to maintain. Corrugated & Ribbed Panel Roofing is the economical workhorse for cabins, barns, and workshops. We also install Metal Shingle Roofing, Stone-Coated Steel Roofing, and Copper & Specialty Metal Roofing for accents and historic profiles.
The honest comparison: standing seam costs more up front but has no exposed screws to service, while screw-down costs less and needs its fasteners checked and replaced over its life. When the deck is sound, Metal Roof Over Shingles (Retrofit) is a legitimate way to save on tear-off and disposal. When the deck is soft or layered, a full Metal Roof Replacement is the right answer.
Metal roofing in Athens is typically quoted per square foot for installations, while repairs are often flat-rate. Your price depends on the panel system and metal gauge, roof pitch and complexity, tear-off versus recover, decking condition, and access. We quote typical ranges, not fixed numbers, because final pricing depends on the roof and site conditions. Some carriers may offer premium discounts for metal or impact-rated roofs, but that is between you and your insurer.
For a realistic ballpark before you commit, see our pricing page, then request a free estimate or a free roof inspection. We will walk the roof, explain what we see, and give you straight options: repair, re-fastening, coating, or replacement.
After a storm, we inspect the roof and provide written documentation with photos that you may submit to your own insurer. We are not an insurance adjuster or agent, coverage decisions rest with your carrier, and we make no promise that a claim will be approved. We document damage and answer questions, nothing more.
On permits: in most jurisdictions a permit is commonly required for a full replacement or re-roof, but requirements vary by city, and inspection requirements differ. Historic district or HOA design review can restrict panel profile and color, so check before ordering materials. Requirements vary, always verify with the Athens building or planning department before starting your project. Questions about your roof? Contact us.
