Metal as Siding - Great Option!

Using metal as siding is always a great option when looking for a product that will virtually last the life of your home.  Most metal roofing products can be used as siding, and a majority can be run either horizontally or vertically which gives the homeowner many options.  Mixing and matching products, direction and color can add architectural elements that go far beyond standard lap or sheet products and using metal in conjunction with wood or cement siding gives even more flexibility.  Just an accent wall, maybe the upper portion of a gable end, how about a window wall?  Clients are finding new uses for metal as siding and we are here to encourage their creativity!  We have samples of all of the metal panels listed on our website as well as many others.  If you want to come in to the showroom and play with color chips or see how a piece looks, please stop by.  We are open from 8 to 5, Monday through Friday and are here to help get your project from your concept to completion!

Are you waiting for a rain free weekend to get started on your home improvement projects?  It might be right around the corner.  The weather for Easter weekend is looking to be our first spring break from the rain and cold.  Now of course I am not guaranteeing anything, but if you have a roofing or siding project you want to get started, now is the time to order your materials so you have them at the ready (just in case I am right).  Give us a call or stop by Monday - Friday 8 to 5, and we will help you get the metal you need to whittle down that Honey Do List!

Now Is NOT The Time To Skimp

Are you out there getting quotes on a new metal roof for your home? We appreciate the competition, that is what makes this a great country to live in. We just want you to understand that skimping on quality will make your investment worth much less in the long run. We consider metal roof and siding installations an art. Our crew members have been with us many years and have honed their skills on over 1,000 METAL roofing and siding projects. We want your metal roof to last a lifetime and the installation is the key! We also want you to know we will be here if you have any problems with the roof or siding we have installed. Shopping for the best price means shopping for a complete and professional roof package. There is so much more to the price of the roof than just the bottom line.

Mix It Up!

Metal siding is such an obvious choice for this area because of its long life span and wear- ability, but maybe your home is not ready for a completely modern look. There are so many options for siding, how about mixing it up a little. Combining metal with other products such as cedar, cement products or even standard sheet siding will give your home a new feel. The possibilities are endless with metal because of the broad selection of panel profiles and the outstanding color choices! If you have an idea or want us to throw out a few, just give us a call (253-926-1633 or 800-310-4120) and we can get you started. The house pictured was completed in 2004 using ASC Nu-Wave in Weathered Copper as siding on the lower level.

Spring Cleaning

It's time for the Great Northwest Winds to kick up and clear your trees of loose branches, needles, sticky cherry and plum blossoms and pollen. Those of course will all land right on your metal roof. Spring is a great time to get on the roof and check for any winter damage. Check carefully around the chimneys, skylights and any plumbing penetrations to make sure debris is not wedged or built up around the flashings. This debris will just collect more debris and so on until there's enough to dam up the water and cause leaking. Roof penetrations are always a suspect spot if you have a leak and keeping them clear is the best way to maintain the flashing integrity. If your roof needs "washing" - check out Cleaning a Metal Roof for manufacturer's recommendations. I can't promise spring cleaning your roof is as fun as spring cleaning the closets...but it might be more important!

Happy Birthday Blog!

It's hard to believe we have been posting to this blog for a year already. 73 blogs - some fun, some informative and a few to let you know who we are. We have had visitors from across the United States, but are really here to help those in the Pacific Northwest understand and appreciate metal roofing and siding. We have picked up a few new followers (we always welcome more!) and we have also added our blog to our website at www.ILoveMetalRoofs.com. The way I look at it - a year with the blog means another year with the Company. WOOHOO! Do you have a favorite post? Let me know - maybe it can be resurrected for those who might have missed it. Thank you to all who visit our site!

Do-It-Yourself Project #1 - Lee's Leisure World!

I thought it would be fun to post pictures of projects customers have installed on their own. About 30% of our sales are in materials only -vs- supply and install, so it is very important to us to make sure customers who want to do it on their own have the right product, a clear understanding of how the materials should be used and installed, and a complete materials package to ensure a finished project. This home was done by Lee and his wife. They started with the roof and installed Super Span in a Bare Zincalume finish. That went so well, they decided to side the entire house in Norclad Old Town Gray with Tahoe Blue Trim. Lee even did the underside of his porch in Winter White 16" Skyline and his soffits with an Alcoa soffit material. Most was done with standard trim pieces, but we did have to design a few custom flashings, which is very easy and does not add much cost to the project, but adds that special look. Come on by our showroom or send us an email about your project, we would love to help get you going on installing your own metal roofing or metal siding.
