ProVia Metal Roof Replacement in Sweetwater
Nestled in the rolling farmland between Sweetwater and Philadelphia, Tennessee, this 1960s ranch home was struggling against the elements. Years of exposure had left the original asphalt shingles severely weathered. Granule loss, protruding “nail pops,” and cracked pipe boots were inviting water into the attic and threatening the structure’s integrity. When the homeowners reviewed their options with the Smith Roofing & Exteriors team, they decided to bypass the “basic” and “better” fixes in favor of a lifetime solution: a premium ProVia Metal Shake system.
The transformation began with a complete tear-off of the failing shingles to expose the roof deck. Our crew replaced all rotten wood, removed old antennas, and sealed the surface with high-temperature synthetic underlayment for maximum leak protection. With a solid foundation in place, we installed the ProVia metal shake, which perfectly mimics the rustic, textured appearance of traditional wood, perfectly suited for a home like this, while offering the legendary durability of 26-gauge galvanized steel.
To ensure the home was fully protected against the area’s heavy tree cover, the project included new gutters and high-performance RainDrop gutter guards. We also installed a custom waterproof chimney cap for a clean, finished look. To tie the entire property together, we outfitted the detached garage with a matching ProVia roof, creating a coherent look across the homesite. Best of all, our team completed this entire installation, from the first shingle removed to the final cleanup, in just two days.
