METALCON - Las Vegas 2010

Jerry is at Metalcon in Las Vegas this week where he is speaking for the MRA (Metal Roofing Alliance) on Residential Re-Roofing, specifically, "Applying metal roofing over existing roof materials".  While he is there he is focusing on finding out the best applications of solar panels on metal roofing and the options for residents in Washington that make the most sense financially and long term.  Jerry will return mid next week and we look forward to sharing with our customers the new options they have when it comes to solar and metal.

Homeowners: Protect Yourself

Two weeks ago a good friend of my family had a horrible accident while doing a "side" job for a local handyman.  I would share the details but since this will end up in the courts, I will just say he was severely injured, has had two surgeries already and will not be able to return to any kind of work for many months.  UNFORTUNATELY, and this is the part that homeowners need to heed:  The company he was working for was not insured, did not have L&I and as of now, it looks like they were not paying into unemployment. What this means, the homeowners are being sued for the damages and their homeowners insurance (thank goodness they had insurance) will probably end up responsible for the hospital bills and other costs associated with the injuries. In the end, this will cost all homeowners as these incidents lead to much higher costs.  It is very important to check any company you allow to work on your property for the proper insurance and employee coverages.  It is actually illegal to work as a company without the proper licenses and insurances but in these hard times, it is something some employers are willing to forgo to help bring their costs down so they can have the lowest bids.  Protect yourself and help make our work environment save and fair for all employees.

RON AND DON SPECIAL!

For the month of October we are offering the lowest materials price possible for 16" wide Skyline by ASC.  Skyline has proven to be an outstanding residential standing seam product for our area and we have set the price lower than it was in 2005 due to special pricing from the manufacturer!  We are calling it the "Ron and Don Special" (you may have heard about us on KIRO 97.3 radio during the Ron and Don Show) and it will effect materials sales as well as installation packages.

If you were quoted an installation package recently, please give us the chance to re-quote your project with our new lower price.

If you are looking for materials or a complete materials package, "Our price can't be beat and we will not be undersold!" says owner Jerry Iselin.  As with any price comparison, we will need to see written quotes and this offer is on all orders placed between October 11, 2010 and October 31, 2010, previously placed orders do not apply.

With this new lower pricing and the up to $1500 tax credit which expires 12/31/2010, this really is going to be the lowest price through the end of the year and most likely throughout 2011. Give us a call or email us at jerry@metalroofspecialties.com and we will prove our price simply can't be beat and we will not be under sold!

Metal Roofing in New Mexico!

Straight from Metal Roof Country.  I just got back from a most glorious week in Red River, New Mexico.  I thought if I posted a picture of the amazing cabin, one of the originals in the area, with its cute new metal roof, I could justify blogging about my adventure.  Actually, in the area everything is clad with metal, new and old, big, small, over-the-top and even the outhouses (thank goodness we had indoor plumbing!). I spent the days hiking and fishing and the nights watching the deer (11 at our peak) and the big black bear that visited us 3 nights in a row. The elevation is at just over 10,000 feet, so snow was already starting to dust the hill tops, and by Christmas, they can expect several feet to be resting on their roofs.  Metal is a must in Red River, for many of the same reasons it makes so much sense in Washington: tree debris; snow; large amounts of rainfall; and winds.  Now that I am back....let's work on getting metal roofing for your project!
