With rising temperatures and increasing energy costs, now is the time to look for solutions that will last the coming decades, while simultaneously keeping climate concerns at bay. 

In an episode of the Roofing Road Trips® podcast, host Heidi J. Ellsworth sat down with Melissa Dunson, director of marketing for Central States Manufacturing, to discuss the various ways contractors and roofing companies can bring in sales by promoting metal roofing solutions as the path forward. They were also joined by Audrey McGarrell, communications manager for the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC), to provide information about the science behind solar-reflective “cool” roofing materials. As climate change continues to be a pressing threat for home and business owners, metal roofing materials offer a promise of sustainability and energy savings.  

A key way to promote metal roofing as the reliable, trusted roofing solution of choice? Audrey points out the value of third-party product rating data, which can be found on CRRC Rated Product Labels. She explained, “There are products out there that use a CRRC label, which shows the rated values right there on the product literature or packaging.” 

In general, products backed by various ratings and that are transparent about testing data are a great place to start when it comes to gaining customer trust. When it comes to comparing roofing materials, metal clears across the board. Melissa shared, “One of the things that we found about metal, it's one of the reasons that metal has such high, long warranties on the material; it performs year after year in a very strong way. It's incredibly durable and incredibly reflective. Which means it doesn’t face the same levels of degradation as other building products.” 

As more home and building owners discover the reliability and quality of metal materials, being the source of providing such products can position your company and services as the go-to place for business. Audrey encouraged contractors to utilize the resources available on the CRRC website to learn more about cool roofing and develop a deep understanding of this innovative path in roofing. After all, cool roofs are the future!  

Listen to the podcast to learn more about cool roofing and how Central States Manufacturing can help contractors meet the demand for cooler roofs!

Grab your tape measure and calculator because it’s time to dive into the technical parts of roof estimating.  

In a previous article, we covered how important the roof takeoff is to a successful project. To refresh your mind, roof takeoff is a term that refers to the process of estimating the materials and dimensions of a roof. This information then allows contractors to plan a project accurately. This means ordering the right amount of materials, managing the project costs effectively and ensuring they have the labor needed for a project.  

Today, the experts here at Central States Manufacturing will dive into how you can go about manually collecting the dimensions needed for the roof takeoff. This is one of two methods (the other being digital measurements), so make sure to keep an eye out for the third article in this series that explores that option!

Traditional manual measurements

Manual measurement involves physically accessing the roof to measure its dimensions. While this method is accurate, it is time-consuming and can pose safety risks, particularly on steep or complex roofs. If manual measurements are necessary, follow these steps:

Draw it out

Starting from a sketch of the roof, complexities (like valleys, dormers, etc.), obstructions (chimney, vents, skylights, etc.) and which areas are being quoted. For example, the homeowner has requested a roof quote on the home but not the attached garage. You may want to take this opportunity to measure both roof structures in case the customer changes their mind or you can upsell them later for the garage. Be sure to include trees or wires that overhang the roof as they may make the installation more difficult or require additional labor for removal or proper attention (example: terrain of the yard around home, landscaping and so on).

Measure every roof section

Get on the roof and break out the tape measure! With your sketch in hand, break down the roof by section and measure the length and width of each section noting any irregular shapes and oddities, for example, the gutter line being a different length than the ridge or a squaring issue at a corner. This is a good time to note if all corners are square and which direction you will want to lay the metal panels (right to left or left to right), as determined by factors in the style and size of the roof sections as well as the panel chosen.

Account for roof pitch

Calculate the slope factor of every roof section and label the sketch accordingly. This factor is important in calculating the trim bend per roof section and in your own labor estimates, for example, higher slopes may need additional considerations for set-up of equipment and safety tools. Note that many roofs have multiple roof pitches, so be sure to measure each section of roof.

Roof pitch is the ratio of the rise (height) to the run (length) over a 12-inch span. For example, if a roof rises 6 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal distance, it has a 6:12 pitch. Once you know the pitch, you can use the chart below to find the angle of the roof for trim conditions as needed.

Calculate total area

Although metal roofing is not sold by “square,” but rather by linear foot, you may need to calculate total area if your customer is considering a variety of roof material options. Start by multiplying the length by the width of each section to find the area. Then add up the areas for all sections to determine the total square footage.

What’s next?

So far, you’ve collected information about the roof and the customers’ vision and ideas and now you’ve collected some hand-measurements of the roof. Before moving into the next step – calculating roof material needed, we will cover the digital method of measuring the roof next, a popular option with roofing contractors due to increasing accuracy of digital systems and the speed and ease of quoting.

A new approach to construction design is letting contractors do more with less — faster, smarter and with a sleek digital twist.

In this episode of Roofing Road Trips®, host Megan Ellsworth sat down with Melissa Dunson to explore how Central States Manufacturing is pushing the envelope far beyond just metal roofing. At the center of the conversation is the company’s recent expansion into complete metal building packages and their innovative design tool that's putting creative power in the hands of contractors.

"We don't just manufacture, we do building packages and do estimating and we'll erect it, and we'll sell it to you if you want," said Melissa, senior manager of marketing services at Central States. This isn’t just about roofing anymore. Central States has grown its portfolio to offer a full suite of services across its branded divisions: Central States Manufacturing, Metal Central, Central States Building Works and Elevate Structures.

One of the most talked-about developments is the launch of Central States’ new 3D building designer — a user-friendly digital tool that lets contractors, designers and even curious homeowners configure full metal structures online. "You can drag and drop, you can add in tractors and horses for size comparisons," Melissa said. "You don’t have to really know anything about metal building to do it.”

The tool is part of the company’s Building Works division, which provides everything from design to delivery of pre-engineered metal building packages. These aren’t just industrial warehouses — applications range from office spaces and garages to religious and recreational facilities. Melissa shared, "It’s not just storage units. There’s light commercial and office usage, agricultural and residential shops.”

Another innovation is Elevate Structures, formerly Storage Structures, which Central States recently acquired. Elevate developed and patented the Alpha Framing system, a proprietary technology that enables steel building frames to be erected three times faster than traditional methods. Melissa stated, “In a world in which labor is so many times the bottleneck, being able to do this is really remarkable.”

Together, these services reflect a strategy focused on convenience, speed and customization — exactly what many contractors need in a time-crunched, cost-conscious market. Beyond the tech, Central States is maintaining a consistent core value: customer service. Melissa added, “All of it's in metal building products and all of it's about servicing the customer, whoever that customer is.”
