Letter From The Metal Roofing Alliance

I just wanted to share a letter from the Executive Director of the Metal Roofing Alliance (MRA) Mr. Tom Black.  Jerry speaks in support of the MRA annually at the Metalcon Show and also for individual companies across the United States regarding metal roofing installation and running a successful metal roofing company.  Here is the letter to Jerry:

I want to thank you for your support of MRA and your generous participation in the metal roofing industry. Each year at Metalcon you willingly share your expertise in metal roofing installation through the on-floor demonstrations. In addition, whenever I call on you to share information on running a profitable metal roofing contractor business I know that we will get an outstanding presentation full of practical insights. Thank you for your contribution again this year at Tampa.

Jerry's knowledge of metal roofing and siding products is what sets our company apart, and the good news for you is that with each materials or installation package (or even just a single part) you order from us, you get access to the knowledge first hand!

Metal - The Product Of Choice

My recent trip to Metalcon in Las Vegas was very enlightening. Metalcon is the annual International convention for the metal construction industry. This was their 20th anniversary. I have been involved with nearly every Metalcon but have been a consistent instructor and presenter for over 10 years. The most significant thing I took from the program this year was the clear recognition metal roofing is the number one choice of performance exterior products. Of course I have always believed metal was the best but when another non-biased and significant industry also feels the same way, that is enlightening!

As I am sure you will agree, Solar energy is quickly becoming a much higher priority at the Local, State, Federal and International level. This energy source is so attractive because it is free, dependable and abundant. We are truly just seeing a “tip of the iceberg” on what this energy source can provide for us. The Solar industry is very focused on the roofing industry because roofs are the most practical and available foundation for solar collection devices. The obvious roofing choice for the solar industry is metal. Yes, metal. That is simply because metal is the only practical roofing material that will outlast the solar collector material! Of course Slate will also outlast the solar material but remember I said practical.

There are a growing number of solar product manufacturers that are developing and building products that can easily be incorporated into metal roof systems. This industry will explode in the coming years and it is safe to say solar will be a significant part of the construction and remodeling industry from this point forward. Solar does have a long way to go and as with all technological advancements, a more attractive price point as the technology becomes more widespread and developed. All the more reason to make the choice and go with metal now. Why replace your roof with a non metal product only to have to replace it again when you incorporate solar in the future? And you will likely incorporate solar. Metal just makes sense. It always has, and this is just another significant benefit supporting that statement.

I am so encouraged by our industry and the progress by the leading manufacturers and industry associations within it. It is so enlightening to be surrounded by people dedicated to make our lives better while ensuring a more sustainable and friendly environment for the generations to follow. I can guarantee I could not say that if I was involved with any other roofing/siding product. Thank goodness I became involved in the metal industry, the product of choice. - Posted by Jerry Iselin, President, Metal Roof Specialties, Inc.

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!

Rebuilding Together October 2009 - Slideshow

Make a Smilebox slideshow

Here's a great slideshow of our Project for Rebuilding Together on Halloween 2009. Our roofers pulled off the old and put on a new metal roof and we still had time to Trick or Treat. The day was another amazing adventure and speaking for myself, it really is a blessing to be a part of a company who cares! Thanks to our owner Jerry for keeping us together and to Haley for organizing the whole event! Thanks also to everyone who participated - as a team, WE DID IT AGAIN!

Hog Ridin' Ron at the Taste Washington

This is Rancher Ron (one of our devoted followers - of which we now have 5!) sitting on Jerry's hog at the Taste Washington. Ron is an awesome radio celebrity from 710 Kiro and you can hear him with Don from 3 to 7 every weekday - you know...The Ron and Don Show! Ron is an official member of our family every since we put a metal roof on his farm house last year (which reminds me...respond to pig roast evite).

Jerry and Haley hosted a Metal Roof Specialties booth at the Taste Washington on April 5th. Over 200 wineries and 60 restaurants shared their best with those who attended.
