Installing A Metal Roof Qualifies Homeowners For A $500 Tax Credit
As if smart homeowners didn’t need another reason to install a metal roof, they now have one more. Many homeowners now qualify for $500 tax credit.
Even without the tax credit, people have been rapidly discovering the advantages of metal roofing. While asphalt shingles need to be replaced every 20 years or so, if you are lucky enough to have them last that long, metal roofing will last a lifetime. Metal roofing has seen a dramatic rise in popularity over the past decade; it’s now the second most popular re-roofing product in the United States.
Grand Opening Plymouth Michigan
Finally, after months of preparation, we are proud to announce the opening of our new location in Plymouth, MI.
By adding a new store location, we aim to expand and cater to a bigger clientele than before. We believe that by opening a new location in Plymouth, we will be easily accessible by a larger number of customers.
We Are Expanding To Meet Your Needs
Great news for the hard working men and women of southeast Michigan. We will soon be expanding to a new, second location in Plymouth, Michigan to meet the growing demand for metal roofing materials.
The new location will be approximately 70 miles south of our current location in Burton, Michigan.
Is Your Home A Weak Link?
I’m sure you’ve heard the expression, “A Chain is Only As Strong As Its Weakest Link”.
You may be wondering what any of this has to do with roofing or even home improvement, in general. When you think about it, the first quote also applies to various adhesives. When you glue one surface to another, the bond is only as strong as the glue. And not all glues are the same.

We are proud and excited to announce that Mid Michigan Metal Sales has formed a distribution relationship with Gentek Building Products. We are now able to offer Gentek Steeltek Steel Siding to our customers.

Roof Damage Signs | Top Signs You Need A New Roof
Sometimes, roof damage signs are obvious. If you can’t sleep because the moon shines in your eyes through the hole in your ceiling, it’s a pretty good bet you need some roof repair.
Or if you have to sidestep the pans and buckets on your floor whenever it rains, you might want to consider doing some roof fixup.
Top 10 Fireworks Safety Tips
We are quickly approaching the time of year when sleep becomes a much sought-after luxury. The weeks leading to Independence Day and for several days afterward, the booming and banging of fireworks keeps many people awake and many pets scurrying for cover.
This is the time of year that we, as Americans, celebrate our independence by lighting up the sky and, unfortunately for many, our homes, garages, and any other structure in their path. Fireworks can be fun, but they can also be deadly if not handled properly. On average, 240 people go to the emergence room around this time of year with fireworks related injuries.

How To Install Metal Shingles Over a Stripped Roof
Installing metal shingles over a stripped or asphalt shingled roof can be a difficult task or project if you are not familiar with roofing. However, when it is completed you will have a beautiful roof that is maintenance free and will last a lifetime time.
Let’s discuss some of the finer points of this type of an installation.
The Benefits of Installing Metal Roofing Over Shingles
When it comes to longevity, installing a metal roof over existing shingles can be a good idea for many reasons. We will address some of the high points in this article.
1. Long lasting. Steel roofs are known for their longevity, sometimes lasting up to 50 years or longer when a quality installation is done. This is significantly better than standard asphalt shingles which at best last 15 or 20 years.
Introducing The Hardy Rib Installation Guide
Over the last few years, many homeowners have started looking at metal roofing as an alternative to asphalt shingles. And with good reason.
While shingles typically wear out and need to be replaced within 10-12 years, metal roofing can last up to 60 years or longer.
A Guide To Installing A Metal Roof Over Shingles
In this article I want to show you that installing a metal roof over shingles is possible when done correctly. When you install metal roofing over shingles, the roof will have a long lifespan that does not require more attention in the future.
While it’s nearly impossible to cover the entire installation process in one article, we will attempt to cover the basics. For a more detailed guide to metal roofing installation, check out our free downloadable PDF guides here.
The Slator – An Important Safety Tool
I am always searching for new, quality products to help fellow roofers and contractors in general. I just came across something that seems ideal.
It’s called The Slator. Since our company deals mostly with metal roofing, I haven’t yet figured out a way for us to use this, but if you install shingles or slate roofing, you might find this useful.
Roof Leak Repair – How To Find A Roof Leak
One of the most difficult parts of roof leak repair in your home is finding exactly where the leak is.
Finding the actual spot where the roof leaks are can be very difficult since the water can enter your roof in one place but run down to other places before it soaks into your ceiling. You are aware that your roof is bad whenever its shingles are damaged or missing or when there is the presence of water stains in your walls or ceilings. This is the reason why you need to find the time and effort to determine the most effective means of finding and fixing the actual leak.
Dear Santa – You Better Watch Out
There is no doubt that technology is changing how we live. Even Christmas and Santa Clause aren’t immune.
Horse-drawn sleighs have been replaced by snowmobiles and ATV’s. Instead of decorating a real Christmas tree, we now have artificial trees that come pre-lit with LED lights. Just put it together and plug it in.
Matt Power of Green Builder recently wrote a tongue-in-cheek letter to Santa that is too good to pass up.
Meanwhile, we at Mid Michigan Metal Sales wish a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to each and everyone.

Proof That Steel Roofing Can Last Up To 60 Years
Metal roofing companies, including Mid Michigan Metal Sales, have been touting the advantages of metal roofing for years. Claims include roofing that can last up to 60 years and beyond. But until now, little proof has been giving beyond the claims.
Now there is proof.
According to a study by the Metal Construction Association (MCA), certain metal roof systems can last up to 60 years, meaning they do not require replacement during the expected life of the commercial building.
