Recently, we received an inquiry from someone who had interest in a metal roof, but had been told by a roof contractor they had contacted that he “…doesn’t recommend metal (because) you have to change screws every seven years and if you have a fire, you’ll have more damage…”

We promised you a flash sale to kick off the new year, and this is it! We're offering special purchases and inventory clearance for the best deals in metal roofing for a limited time.

We had a client who was building a new custom mountain home and wanted a metal roof, but not just any metal roof. This client wanted something more interesting and “Old World” than the usual standing seam panels.

We hear from a number of people who comment on the pricing guidelines offered in our free re-roofing booklet. Whether they’re shopping for copper, steel or aluminum roofs, it’s not uncommon to hear a comment like, “Your price formulas were way off!” We definitely get a lot of comments from folks who say these guidelines and formulas were useful, but it’s the negative comments that always seem to echo longer.

With Halloween only a week away, every homeowner knows that the trials of winter home ownership are just around the corner. And if you’re the owner of a typical North American residence, your roof will be doing double duty for the next six months as a major architectural element AND your home’s first line of defense against old man winter. With winter imminent, it’s time to ask yourself a few questions if your existing roof is more than 10 years old - especially if it’s an asphalt shingle roof.

You only need to spend five minutes on our website or reading our blogs and you’d have little doubt that we have an obvious bias toward metal roof products. We make them and sell them every day, and most of the time we find it hard to believe that anyone wanting a roof would consider anything else. Decades of being in the business and seeing roof materials in the real world (instead of a well-composed sales brochure) after years of exposure to the elements have convinced us time and again that there is no better choice for a roof material. But then, we aren’t roofers!
