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

It's Not Too Late!

There are 42 days left in 2010, which means you have exactly 6 weeks to get your metal roofing installed to qualify for the up to $1500 energy saving tax credit.  If you are thinking about a metal roof for your primary residence, you can save yourself 30% of the materials purchase price (up to the $1500 maximum) if you get it done before the end of the year.  Let us know if we can provide you with the materials and get you going on a "green" roof that will last a lifetime!

ASC Bare Zincalume Added To Tax Credit Qualifiers

ASC Building Products released the certificate which states roofs in their products with the Bare Zincalume finish now qualify for the 2009-2010 $1500 tax credit. This is good for the consumers in two ways: Bare Zincalume looks like galvanized metal but has a longer life span and reduces heat gain; and it is less expensive than the painted versions of the same panels. The savings just keep adding up!

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.
