Meridian Metal Roofing
Pioneering Space Age Energy Saving Technology

  Lexington, KY— Why do we wear our hats in cold weather boys and girls? It’s because most of our body heat escapes through the top of our heads, remember? And why do we wear sunhats in sweltering times? Well, of course…who wants sunstroke?

  And why do we continue to use asphalt shingles when we know that they do little or nothing to protect our homes from the cold, absorb heat into the hundreds of degrees and hold it for interminable lengths of time? Well, that’s a puzzlement, now isn’t it?

  These elementary questions are being asked and answered by the people at Meridian Metal Roofing, a revolutionary company in Lexington, Kentucky touting themselves as “Your Residential Metal Roofing Professionals.” These professionals are quick to remind us of the massive heat loss and lack of protection from the cold for which our roofs are responsible… and they’re putting their money where their mouths are, with a 35% energy savings guarantee. In addition to that they have an exclusive LIFETIME WARRANTY on their roofs and it’s even transferable!

  The roofs are installed over the existing roof meaning that there is minimal invasion, no worry about bad weather during installation, and the old roof remains to even further provide sound deadening and insulation. And the metal is offered in an array of beautiful gleaming colors which are also guaranteed for life against rust or fading.

  When questioned about these unprecedented accomplishments, Meridian Metal Roofing president, Phil Slusher, points out that his company is using state-of-the-art materials and thehighest professionally detailed installation. “Our metal panels are a product called galvalume AZ-50 which we can guarantee forever and which by itself has an over fifty percent protection quotient,”Slusher states, “but in addition to that we use an underlayment designed for NASA which they developed for space suits and is rated to radiate 97% of heat away from the roof in the Summer and 70% back into the home in the Winter.”

  It should be pointed out that a metal roof will be two-to-three times as expensive as an asphalt roof, but considering that an asphalt roof begins to deteriorate the day it’s put on and factoring in the energy savings and the fact that the metal roof is, as Meridian likes to say, “The last roof you’ll ever need”, the logical and prudent decision is obvious.
 

Testimonials

     "November 30, 2007 Meridian Metal Roofing completed putting on a 29 gauge Galvalume clay colored roof on our house.  It was installed over two layers of asphalt/glass shingles.

 We are extremely pleased with all phases of our transaction with Meridian.  Jon Taylor came to our house to estimate the cost and to answer our questions.  We are the first in Harrods Hill subdivision to have a metal roof, and we had plenty of questions.  Jon is very knowledgeable about the product and the installation process and answered all our questions fully.

My first contact with Meridian was with their office manager Naomi, She gave me some initial information, and scheduled Jon’s visit and collected our payments as they became due.

The material was delivered on time and the installation crew completed the job in two days.  They were supervised by Rod Bingham who checked on their process several time each day.  The workers were courteous and the job done in a quality manner.  All debris was cleaned up at the completion of the job.  We had a downspout came loose after they left.  I called after hours on Friday evening.  Early the following Monday morning workers cam and fixed the problem.

A few days later a letter came form Jon Taylor along with the Warranty and Energy savings guarantee.

We are very happy with our roof and please at the level of professionalism all the Meridian people displayed.  We would recommend Meridian Metal Roofing to anyone who is considering a new roof."

   "This letter is in regard to my experience with your company.  I was very pleased with your salesman Chris.  He answered all my questions, which were many (I had a list ready for him).  He was very polite and professional.  The financing process was very easy, without any complications and offered many choices.  Your installer was very professional and a hard worker.  He did the installation all by himself and in an amazing period of time.  The timeframe was arranged quickly and conveniently.  I have had many compliments on the roof.  I have been more than happy to tell people who installed the roof and also tell them I am already seeing changes in energy savings.  The first week after installation my mother and I notices the house seemed less “stuff” I fell that I am going to continue to be more please with my choice of Meridian Metal Roofing."

Thanks Again,

     "We would like to take this opportunity to let you know how professional the crew was that installed our metal roof from Meridian Metal Roofing. They were very courteous prompt, efficient and respectful, not only to me but to each other.  They respected us and our property.  They thoroughly cleaned up after they finished.  We could not have asked for a better crew.  This crew was tops in my book.
     We look forward to enjoying our metal roof on our house in the future.  We have already talked to several people about the roof.  Can’t wait for your to put the sign in the yard and see how many people stop and ask about the roof."

Thank you,

"I just wanted to let you know how thrilled I am with my new metal roof. 

I had notices your advertisement in a magazine and pretty much decided that I wanted a metal roof for my home, so I did some research on-line and decided to call you.

Naomi Nefertari answered the phone and was quite helpful with all of my questions and we had a pleasant chat about my neighborhood.  She set me up for an appointment with a sales representative the very next day.

Your Sales Manager, Jon Taylor, arrived promptly for our appointment; I didn’t let him know I had already decided to purchase a metal roof!  He was very likable and a very pleasant salesman and quickly sold me on your company.  One could tell he is very passionate about his product and company y his enthusiasm and his knowledge of the roofing process and material specifics.

Jon measured the roof to get the square footage and gave me the price of the roof. He warned me in advance that a metal roof would be two to three times the cost of a shingled roof (which I already knew).  I thought the price was very fair.  Jon offered me several different payment options and I chose financing.  The application form was a breeze and I knew within an hour after he left that I was approved.  I am extremely happy with the terms of the financing.
The construction guys called when I was told they would.  Three gentlemen, led by Rod Bingham, came and measured the roof so the material was ordered.  While having a chat with Rod, we discovered he went to High School with my sister-in-law.  Having that little connection made me feel that Rod would see to it that his crew would do excellent work on my roof.

The actual construction began on Friday.  Patrick (sorry, I don’t know his last name) was the crew foreman and a great fellow.  He acted in a professional manner and was very nice to answer all of my questions about the process. The roof was finished in four days.  Surprisingly, there was very little noise during the construction and not much debris generated.  It was wonderful that they did not have to remove all the shingles.  When Patrick finished, he said I had a bulletproof roof and I believe him!

I was very curious to know how the roof would sound during a rainstorm.  The day after the roof was finished we had a major downpour and it was actually quieter than my old roof!

Your guarantee is fantastic – 100 years and it even passes on to the next owner of my house.  It very comforting to know that if anything goes wrong you will take care of it.  I am really looking forward to 35% energy savings and I feel good about going a little greener.

Quite a few people in my neighborhood have commented on my new roof and they all think it’s very cool.  I’m one of your best PR people because I’ve told all of them and other friend and acquaintances they need to get a new metal roof from you."

Sincerely,

Kay Fisher
