Allsteel

Owners:  Jason Guffey (pictured below) and Mike Batterton
Location:  Highway 62, west of Gepp, Ark.

Company History:  The two partners began their company in 2006 after years in the construction and roofing trades. They initially purchased another company and then re-built it, putting in a lot of time and money to bring in all new state-of-the-art equipment.

Products and Services:  “We manufacture metal roofing for barns, houses and shop buildings. We produce panels and trim in 18 different colors,” Jason explained while standing in the show room of their business. “The big advantage to metal roofing is that it is a lifetime product, you basically never have to buy again. We are seeing a lot of four- to five-year-old homes, and their owners are choosing to put on a metal roof after the damage to a traditional shingled roof brought on by wind or hail. Many of the insurance companies are starting to give discounts for metal roofs as well.”

Company Philosophy:  Allsteel’s company mission statement includes the fact that they are a family-owned and operated business with roots deep in northern Central Arkansas, ready to provide quality products at an economical price. Their goal is to maintain low overhead in a state-of-the-art facility, using the newest technology to produce the highest-quality product, which means quick turn arounds on all orders. “The good news for us is that this is a growing business and it continues to grow each year, despite the economy,” Jason added.

Latest Developments:  “The paint systems in metal roofing have improved tremendously in just the past five years and we are now able to assure people that the fading that folks experienced in the early years of metal roofing is no longer the problem it was just a few short years ago.” Mike Batterton added, “Our products come with a 40-year warranty and our colors are Energy Star rated, with the exception of the color black. We also sell complete metal building packages that range from churches to roof-only hay barns.”
