Tax Credit Nearing The End

As much as it makes sense to give a credit for a product that will save thousands of dollars in the long run, cut back on landfill and reduce energy waste, so far it does not look like there will be an extension or a new credit for 2012 for metal roofing.  That being said, now is the time to take advantage of the 10% back on your 2011 tax return (up to $500) for new metal roofing installed by December 31st on your primary residence.  The good thing about the 2011 credit, it is not included in the 2009/2010 energy credit numbers, so even if you used the energy credit in 2009/2010, you can still use this one if you had the work done in 2011.  Almost all of the products we supply qualify for the energy credit and if you have any questions about how to get the 10% back, please give us a call at 1-800-310-4120 or 253-926-1633.  - Keni

Jerry Meets Julia

Jerry went out to meet adorable Julia and her family to talk about a metal roof last night.  After discussing the new roof and the color it should be (which of course Julia had a slightly different opinion then her parents) she went off to draw a picture to present to Jerry before he left.  We welcome the Pitzer's to the Metal Roof Specialties family and sweet Julia's portrait will hang proudly in his office!

Plan Ahead for Labor Day

Labor Day is just around the corner and apparently summer is already half way over. If you are planning to get a project going for the long weekend that includes metal, please give us a call and we can make sure you have all the materials to finish up without a hitch.  Not sure what you need, stop in, call or email us and we can get you the right product for the project! 

Sterling Roof and Copper Gutters - True Gems!

We just finished this beautiful home in Auburn, Washington.  The roofing is Cool Matte Black Sterling by ASC Building Products and the gutters are Half-Round produced in pure Copper. 

Sterling roofing is a 24 gauge standing seam product installed on clips for a true floating roof, ideal for long runs to allow for expansion and contraction.  The manufacturer offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the finish and our company offers up to a Lifetime Weather Tightness Warranty as well.

The Copper gutters are produced locally and will last a lifetime, changing colors as the years progress. Half -Round gutters get their name from the fact they have a barrel look, as if cut in half and are a great alternative to the standard K-style gutters.  They are produced in many colors, bare or copper and in different sizes.

In all the project took 83 man days for a total of 664 hours.  We removed and disposed of the original shake roofing, put on new underlayments, replaced the skylights (this is a great idea when you are having new roofing installed, skylights do not have a long lifespan) then installed the roofing, gutters and flashings all to the manufacturer's specifications.  All went smoothly and we are very proud of our crew's attention to detail and their workmanship! - Keni
