Skyline Metal Roofing Projects Slideshow

Make a Smilebox slideshow

We got this great note from the Barrientos-Zepeda and Munoz families. We worked on their houses back in April during our Rebuilding Together Project for 2009. Most amazing was spending the day actually helping them accomplish projects that they would otherwise have to hire professionals. More and more families are finding it necessary to rely on outside help, especially now during our current economic downturn. Now is the time to check with your neighbors who might need you.

Eligible Metal Roofing Products for $1500 Tax Credit

The link below is the Roofs Product List of eligible "Energy Star" rated roofs that qualify for the $1,500 American Reinvestment and Recover Act tax credit for 2009 and 2010. This list shows the manufacturer's and their panel profiles that qualify, however, the Warranty column is not 100% correct and the Model column does not include all colors which qualify. Let us know if you have any questions about products you are interested and and whether they qualify or not.

Do-It-Yourself Project #6 - Party Pavillion

We made this pavillion to keep the pine needles off the BBQ. To keep the cost down, we used 29 gauge Norclad in Bare Zincalume (unpainted) and then used Classic Brown trim pieces. It is easy to keep the debris from building up, just a quick few brushes with a push broom.

Through Fastener Panels

Getting ready to roof or side your shop, maybe a pole building or even a pavilion to keep your BBQ guests dry. One of the most economical solutions we have is called "Norclad" by ASC Building Products. Typically sold in 29 gauge, this panel will span 2' and still be walkable. Norclad has a 36" coverage, a 5/8" high rib every 9 inches, with 2 minor ribs in between. A screw with a neoprene washer goes in the top of the panel at a flat spot and through to the substrate below. Norclad has a variety of standard flashings, but custom flashings are no problem either. The turn around time for ordering is about 4 days, and the panels are cut to the exact length you need within 1/4" increments (angle cuts are up to you). See Do-It-Yourself Projects #1 and #6 for pictures of projects clad in Norclad.

Firehot Fireworks!

Burning fireworks flying about the neighborhood on Saturday will be fun...and if you have a metal roof - you will have one less thing to worry about! Have a safe Fourth of July!

Rock Bottom Prices - Act NOW!

The word on the street....metal prices are on the rise. We have been told by most of our manufacturers that steel pricing is starting to go back up and that we are at the lowest price for metal roofing right now. There is a strong demand for steel by the Chinese market, which is leading to increased demand, which we all know leads to increased prices. We are currently about 25% lower than we were this time last year...and metal roofing prices are only going up from here. Current pricing, combined with the $1500 Tax Credit means now is the time to get that metal roof on your home.
