All ten buildings on the school’s 20-year-old campus in the San Ramon Valley Unified School District now have a fresh look. Topped with 55,066 square feet of Classic Green Magna-Loc roof panels from Metal Sales Manufacturing Corp., the new roofs bring a bright and inviting charm to the school.
The Metal Sales panels were chosen to replace the school’s former copper roofing that had outlived its expected duration. The school board wanted to be sure that the new roofs would provide even more years of usefulness.
“Metal roofing is the most sensible option,” explains Steven Bautista, senior construction project manager at The San Ramon Valley Unified School District. “Metal roofs are attractive and durable. They generally have fewer problems and require less maintenance, which is important when it comes to keeping a tight school district budget.”
Completed in October 2010, the new panels not only breathe new life into the building complex, they also provide sustainable protection. Metal Sales’ Magna-Loc 18-inch, 24-gauge panels with “pencil” ribs is a durable and energy-efficient product, ideal for this application. The Classic Green color is Energy Star listed and comes with a standard 45-year paint warranty.
“We chose Metal Sales, specifically, because they offered the most economical choice, excellent service, and backed their product with a great warranty,” Bautista says. “We are all very happy with the results. The roofs look great and they will last for years to come.”
“We are proud of the way our panels meet the client’s needs,” says Steve Letnich, vice president of sales and marketing for Metal Sales. “This type of application highlights the versatility of our product. It shows that metal roofing is not only strong enough to protect, but it can also express vitality through light and color. The sustainability benefits are an important added bonus.”
“The installation of the metal panels was seamless,” says Steve Crivelli, vice president operations at Petersen Dean Commercial Inc. “Metal Sales was a tremendous help in getting the job done, especially under a strict construction schedule. They provided great service, a great product, and were there to help us when we needed them.”
