Put a steel roof on my own home this past summer in Texas, energy costs went down and held up to hail and wind and rain, looks great, supposed to be a 30 to 50 year duration. Last roof me and my wife will ever need. Worth every penny, and insurance went down 30%.
Thank you for posting the company’s history in this video. Most people won’t read it but I did….the benefit of reading these is to get a pulse on a company’s growth to get a glimpse of how they think and operate. The most compelling part was when they changed their name in 2010 to Isaiah and why…again, thank you!!
Geoff, I have been watching since the clearing for the farmhouse on Chris's channel. I am a comfortably retired business man of 45yrs, and recognize a successful business plan when I see it. You are a ambitious entrepreneur and a guy with a dream! I think paring with Chris on these projects is genius and a smart business move on both your parts. Entertainment, Instruction, Sourcing, Marketing, Promotion and a Sweat Equity install all wrapped up in a fun, and humorous presentation. Well Done Sir.!! Thanks for taking all of us along for the ride. You both demonstrate what it takes to be successful and prosperous in this country. A dream, unrelenting dedication and hard work, and daring fate against constant risk. Lead on....I wish you both a bright future!
My wife and i were just looking at different metal roof options so hoping to see more on this from you and what you guys have picked for your roof. Thanks for another great video.
Man, the Metal Roofs have come a long way from what it was !! So, so many different styles and colors now, you can get, and not even look like metal. Great video Geoff !! Have a Great Afternoon...
It is so cool to see how similar manufacturing is done across different industries. I work with brake pedals for the big 3 and we have the same safety protocols and stuff.
Fascinating. Liking the ridge cap at 5:45. Floor staff seem well trained and in-sync with each other. Having your employees trained by I.I. is smart. Gotta love made in the USA. 👍👍👍
Be looking forward to the install and hearing your thoughts on the product as it progresses. Thanks for the tour, I found it very interesting, appreciate you taking us along.
So interesting the way technology and innovation are making a variety of different styles of products including roofing materials. Will look great on the new house.
Pretty cool to see metal roofing that has so many colors & texture variations.....really looking forward to see what you decide on, and when it's on the house.
We offer a Lifetime Warranty for the initial owner and then a transferable 40-year warranty. The warranty transfer as many times as the home is sold during 40 years ... and is completely non-prorated. Many roofing warranties really "get you" on their proration and transferability.
☘️🇮🇪🇺🇸 love the full spectrum of viability & adabability of the metal over shingles, environmentally etc. Just keeps getting better Geoff , bravo 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 where’s your glass coming from? Thickness coatings? Blessings 🙏🏼🌹
You have a great manufacturer of metal shingles in Austria -- check out Prefa sometime. I'm sure they'd take you on a plant tour. I was there several years ago.
The old presses are reliable as hell. We have quite a few in our stamping facility but they are not coil feeds. Every part is hand moved through the die stages.
Touring Bealy: "They got all kinds of different roof styles, terracotta, standing seam,".....Old Leaky Haney Place, were going with Old Leaky Haney Place, the individual pieces look like Swiss cheese and come with matching drip buckets for inside the hovel.
I have become a fan of these new metal roof panels. I have been around two builds using them. Its the best of both worlds IMO. That one lot is going wish he had burned all of that when he had it cleared instead of waiting. Unless he plans on grinding it all up then it doesn't really mater.
I liked that video. Seeing all the machines and what they do. Great job. Its amazing what different machines can do. I work in a huge factory and we have a lot of amazing machines as well. Have a Bealy Good day
Faux natural finishes seem to be a thing. Beats the old corrugated tin that came in any color you wanted except grey. It is also interesting to see that the raw coils are coming in with the colors seemingly "forged" in instead of being finishes that eventually wear off and just look horrible after about 15 years, even if the roof is still performing according to warranty.
No doubt about it, coatings have come along way. The technology we have used for about 30 years is PVDF chemistry finishes -- fantastic results in terms of fade and chalk resistance. Current developments focus a lot on making finishes that have multiple hues and designs.
Cool process. I just had my roof done with 40 yr shingles. I priced the Metal at 3X the shingle price. I'll be lucky to live another 15 years. So, I went cheaper. But, I'm not Cheap, just Frugal. lol
Great video , i am looking to replace my ancient slate roof with a metal roof and i would love to find something that looks similar and i bet they have it .
I didn’t get it on video, however, they have a section of the plant where all they do is match samples sent to them. Lots of historic houses that need repairs, etc.
Nice to see you making made in the USA choices. Looks like they have a good operation. Offering training/support to your guys is a big plus. I've always liked the look of slate roofs. We all have different favorites. What style are you thinking to use?
Put in lots of anchor points on the roof. Metal roof is great but when a little green alge grows on the roof. It is very very slippery. Add bit of wetness and you can't climb up. You buy more land and you will called Ben Cartwright of North Carolina 😅
Greetings from the UK. Really interesting video thank you. Here in the UK, we use terracotta tiles, slate tiles et cetera. Metal roofing materials are unusual. Interested to know why you are going for a metal roof? I imagine a metal roof can be quite noisy too, and needs more insulation?
We are using metal because of the longevity, cost, weight and the sound. Slate would be awesome but it’s expensive and heavy. We both like the sound of rain hitting a metal roof. We’re already going to have a lot of insulation since we’re building as “tight” a house as we can. Great question 😊. Thanks
As long as the home has some attic space and insulation, we do not get sound transmission complaints. We do offer ways to help deaden the sound if it is a big concern due to the structure's design.
I was amazed at how much was still done manually. I guess there isn’t enough demand to make the packaging and handling automated cheaper with robots and such. I guess we should be happy that they still keep a lot of humans employed in the USA and not slave labor in China.
We do a lot of visual inspection of the parts during the packing process. That is important to us. I have seen plants that do very little inspection and I really wonder about their quality control.
How are these shingles installed? One of the downfalls of traditional metal roofing is that galvanized nails with neoprene washers are used for installation, after a point in time the neoprene washers break down and no longer provide a seal, causing roof leaks.
Geoff it looks like you had your work cut out for you trying yo hide Mr. Yoder’s face, but you forgot to hide Mrs. Yoder’s face. Living in Iowa as a teen, we say the Amish all the time at the old Threshers reunion at Mt Pleasant on later day week end. they hate having their photo made, almost as much as criminals! 😂😂😂😂 So was Mr. and Mrs. Yoder their in the Amish Cadillac or the Coup DeVille ?
How does that metal stand up to the extremes of temperature you have where you live? I have metal roofing, it lasted 10 years, during that time it faded, and eventually corroded.
They do color testing on their metal and have warranty against fading. Most of the houses in our vicinity have metal roofs that have been on a long time. Obviously, lots of options and quality variance depending on whose product you use.
Actually, if you had a regular flatbed with pit the tire bumps on the way, that fork lift works fine. It's just your trailer is not what they load normally so that's why it looked weird. As long as he didn't damage the product or trailer, he did a good job.
But if you would've brought 4x4's as wide as the trailer bed. It would have been easier for him to off load onto your trailer. Also ya could've choked it with 2 straps. One strap on each fork to load it like that as well onto 4x4's. Also better to have a trailer that's a legit flat deck. I've driven a Hilo since the age of 18. Learned a lot from the old timers and experience of my own. So I can flip a penny from the ground onto the fork and a few other tricks but can load with great confidence but never taking safety for granted. Glad ya went with a steel roof. I dig them and I like the sound when the rain hits it.
