Metal Buildings: The Solution You've Been Looking For

Josh Speraneo • Jun 22, 2018

SPOILER ALERT: You end up choosing a metal building…

Don’t you just hate spoilers? A spoiler is what happens when you haven’t seen a movie and someone who has seen it tells you how it ends. For example:

  • Bruce Willis is really a ghost.
  • Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker’s father.
  • Thanos wipes out half of the Avengers at the end.

Just like that, the suspense is gone because you know exactly where the movie is headed. It’s so frustrating!

However, in the case of the spoiler alert at the beginning of this blog, the goal is to save you frustration, not cause it.

You see, the fact that you’re reading this blog means that you have a project in mind and you’re weighing the pros and cons of different building materials. If that’s the case, then you don’t need to look any further…

A metal building is the answer that you’re looking for.

Are we moving too fast?

 

“Wait!” youmight say, “I haven’t even told you about my project yet.”

 

Okay, goahead:

 



  • I’m redoing my roof.

 

 

While it’s true that you have many options here, we definitely recommend a metal roof.Sure, you can always hop up onto your roof in 100+ degree weather and put news hingles on. We won’t deny that this is an option. Some people even seem to enjoy it, putting on layer after layer over the years until they eventually have to strip the whole thing off and start again. If this is one of your hobbies, have at it.

 

On the other hand, if you’re looking for an affordable and long-lasting solution, you’ll want to go with a metal roof. According to Central States Manufacturing (an industry leader in metal building components) metal roofs:

 

  1. Are a permanent roofing solution, they last 2-3 times longer than shingles
  2. Are durable, they stand up to even the worst weather conditions
  3. Are attractive, they come in a wide range of colors
  4. And they’re economical, they can save you up to 25% in energy costs

 

  • I’m building a detached garage/a storage building/a workshop.

 

 

Many of you are probably do-it-yourselfers. You enjoy tackling a project from the initial plan to the final product, and that’s great. You like hunting for all of the right materials on your own and then bringing them home and assembling them.However, if you’re not so handyman-inclined, if your last project collapsed with the first gust (or puff) of wind, or if your creations end up looking like the Frankenstein’s monster version of whatever you set out to build (complete with neighbors coming over with torches to burn it down), there’s a better way to go!

 

Metal buildings are a great alternative to the hodge-podge approach. You can go with a customizable Red Iron Building, a Post Frame Building made to your specifications, or an easy-to-assemble Centra Series Building. The choice is yours. And, rather than inspiring fear and horror in your neighbors, you’ll inspire jealousy over how great it looks.





  • We’relooking for a new home, but we’re dreaming on a budget…

 



Ever dream of having room to breathe? While some people enjoy living an arm’s length from their neighbor, if you’re not a fan of looking out your window straight into your neighbor’s kitchen, then you might want to consider an alternative.

 

Imagine finding a great piece of land that’ll give you the space that you’re looking for, away from prying eyes and nosy neighbors. Now all you need is a greathouse to go with it! Metal houses are a great, affordable alternative to a lot of options you’ll find on the market today. Plus, you can customize your layout to an extent that’s just not possible with most prefab homes.

 



  • Ourchurch has some land, but we need a new building.

 



That’s great news! Now it’s possible that you have millions of dollars to invest in a new facility to go on your property. Plenty of salespeople will tell you that you need to invest in a super expensive new building to draw people in. But, if you’re wanting to have an incredible facility (outside AND inside), you may want to consider a more stewardship-friendly approach.

 

Again, metal buildings are great for any project. You can draw up a plan that fits your vision and go to work constructing it for much less than you would’ve spent on the cookie-cutter church building the salesman wanted to push on you. And think of all of the great things you can afford to do on the inside of the facility to make it as welcoming as possible for all of the visitors who will come to check you out.

 



  • My wife keeps making me sleep in the living room, so I want a man cave.

 



Admittedly, a metal building is probably not going to solve all of your marriage problems. It won’t unsay the comment that landed you in the doghouse or give your wife the compliment she was looking for on her new blouse/skirt/hair style (which, ofcourse, you DIDN’T notice AGAIN). And it won’t warm up the cold shoulder that she’s giving you…

 

However, itcan give you a safe and comfortable place to ride out the storm. And, as you’ve seen, there are a TON of options for you to choose from. Just be aware that the futon sofa bed and flat screen are not included.

When it comes to New Year’s resolutions, so many people think about losing weight, earning more, or spending less… but what about using the new year to focus on those home projects you’ve been putting off? We understand that many home improvement projects can seem daunting at first. They may require you to learn new skills or get outside your comfort zone. They may also require you to fix problems you would rather keep ignoring. But think about this for a second: wouldn’t it be nice to take care of those issues once and for all? You might be dealing with any one of these common scenarios: Your house is overflowing with stuff you don’t use very often (especially after another Christmas). Your roof is still leaking no matter how many layers of shingles you put on there. You can’t seem to keep your home warm in the winter, no matter how high you crank up your heater (and your utility bills keep climbing). Your garage doesn’t have enough space for all of the projects you want to take on. Or maybe you really just need a new garage door after your teen backed into the one you have. Whether you’re considering taking on one of these home projects, or you have something else in mind, we’re here to help you follow through in getting the most out of your home in 2020.

Has this last round of storms left you with a damaged or leaky roof? Are you looking for a supplier who can help you put the pieces back together? If so, you’re in luck! Metal Roofing: Just one of the services we offer… To be clear, we’re not a roofing company in the traditional sense. We don’t have a crew on hand that we can send out to do roofing repairs or installation. (Although we’d be happy to provide you the names of some installers!) What we can offer you are top-of-the-line metal roofing products you can use to protect your home from future storms. Wondering about the benefits of installing a metal roof? Be sure to check out our earlier blog that takes an in-depth look at some of the key benefits metal roofs provide. If shielding your home from inclement weather, saving money on utility bills, and getting a great roof that’s made to last are on your to-do list, you’ve come to the right place! But first, let’s get real about metal roofing. You get a lot more for your money with a metal roof. If you’re looking for a cheap solution to your roofing problems, you’re probably better off slapping on another layer of shingles… However, if you’re looking for a quality solution that will last for decades, metal roofing is the perfect choice for you! When you invest in a metal roof, you get a lot more for your money. First, you’ll get peace of mind. Instead of cringing when you hear a storm rolling in, you’ll know your home is protected by a strong and sturdy roof that’s built to endure the worst weather. Second, you’re adding value to your home. Whether you’re planning to leave your home to your family, or you’re thinking of selling your home and heading south someday, investing in a metal roof will make your home an even more valuable asset in the future. “Is installing a metal roof simple?” If you’ve asked this question, you’re not alone. Let’s face it, there’s more to metal roofing than slapping some metal panels on over the top of your shingles and calling it “good.” It takes time and attention to detail to install a metal roof correctly. Is it rocket science? Absolutely not! But, like most things in life, doing it right will take some time and effort. Here are a few key things you need to consider: First, what kind of vapor barrier do you need to use? This is an important decision that deserves a blog all to itself. Lucky for you, you’ve got our experience on your side! Call us or come see us, and we can discuss the wide range of options you have available when it comes to vapor barriers, and we’ll help you figure out the best solution for your roofing project. Why does it matter? Because we want to make sure you get the roof of your dreams, of course! Making a wise choice here will set the tone for your entire metal roofing project. Next, what kind of fasteners should you use? This is another topic that deserves a more in-depth discussion than we can give it here. However, just like the choice of the right vapor barrier, finding the right fasteners is essential when it comes to installing a metal roof. What are the risks? You might ask… Using the wrong fasteners can lead to issues like: Leaks Corrosion Loose panels Or other serious issues But again, that’s why we’re here for you! You see, we’re not just here to sell you the materials. (Any old building supply store could do that…) We’re here to help you get your roof done right, in a way you can be proud of for years to come! Think of us as your friends in the metal business! And, just like with choosing the right vapor barrier, we can walk you through how to choose and correctly install fasteners that will work great and help protect the metal roof you’re investing in. What about ventilation? This is another factor that can get overlooked when it comes to installing a metal roof. The truth is, it’s just not something people think about if they don’t have experience in this area. However, just like with fasteners and vapor barriers, we’re more than happy to help you with this step as well. Not only will we talk you through your ventilation options, so you can make the best choices when it comes to installing your roof, we’ll also help you understand the risks involved when a roof isn’t properly ventilated. This way you’ll be able to bypass issues like condensation buildup, or other hazards like mold, mildew, or insect issues that come with leaks due to improper ventilation installation. Does that seem like a lot to take in? If so, don’t panic! Remember, we’re… More than a metal roofing company! As we mentioned before, our goal isn’t just to sell you the materials you need to install a great metal roof and then send you on your way to fend for yourself. From the time that you call for your FREE CONSULTATION, we’ll be there to answer any questions you have about installing your metal roof. After over 20 years of providing high-quality metal building products to our customers in the four-state area, we’ve seen about every snag that you can hit.
