Armstrong Steel Helps Colorado Ranch Get Horses Ready For Winter

If horses could talk, they’d be thanking their owners profusely.

Salida, Colorado gets about 43 inches of snowfall each winter, and that was one of the biggest motivations for Will and Nancy K. to look for a steel building that could hold up to that type of seasonal precipitation in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Armstrong Steel loves engaging with Colorado customers, as Colorado is the proud home of Armstrong’s corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility.

Will & Nancy’s metal barn boasts Arcadian slider doors, a lean-to, skylights, and Armstrong’s commercial insulation package. Traditionally, barns were made out of wood, but the Kay’s opted to go with steel because of the benefits, like enhanced durability, energy efficiency and ease of assembly. Steel is the perfect choice for building a barn because it is the most cost effective. Plus, a steel building requires undemanding maintenance, has a higher resistance to the elements, and it’s easy to customize and expand.

Initially, Will and Nancy were concerned about insulating the barn for the sake of their horses. Salida, Colorado is also one of the top U.S. cities in terms of largest differences between daily temperature highs and lows. The couple wanted to make sure that everything in the barn would be sheltered from the severe weather, too.

Insulating your building can be expensive if you do it on your own, but Armstrong’s commercial insulation packages are designed specifically for a metal building. Armstrong Steel offers reasonably priced insulation packages, along with a myriad of other additions, which can be added to any building. Every Armstrong steel building is unique and customized especially for you, and a dedicated Project Manager can take steps to ensure you get what you need, without breaking the bank.

“We are so impressed with how sturdy our Armstrong building is! The shipping department was a pleasure to work with and always answered the phone when we called with a question. We're really glad we didn't cut corners and went with Armstrong's commercial insulation package as it is staying quite warm in our building as temperatures begin to drop here in Salida," says Will K.

"If there’s one thing we do better than our peers in the pre-engineered steel construction industry, it's hyper focus on the customer experience. It’s our job to ensure every aspect of a customer's purchase goes as smoothly as possible," says Ethan Chumley, Founder and CEO of Armstrong Steel.

Armstrong Steel offers building solutions for every need, large or small. Armstrong's quality is incomparable, making it an easy choice when it comes to your building needs.

Your horses are sure to show their appreciation, too.

Steel buildings have become extremely popular across the U.S. for auto shops looking to grow their business and have more space to operate.

An “Auto”matic Tune-up: Immigrant-Owned Repair Shop Sees Company Grow with New Steel Building from Armstrong Steel

Colorado’s small business owners are the lifeblood of the American free enterprise system. When small businesses succeed, we as Americans all succeed. Local communities and local economies are stimulated as those small business owners inject goods and services back into society.

Local entrepreneurs come from all nations, races and religions. Colorado’s immigrant-owned businesses generate a whopping $684 million a year in revenue, according to research conducted by the American Community Survey. There are over 13,000 immigrant-owned small businesses in Colorado, according to a recent study conducted by the Fiscal Policy Institute, a research organization in New York, and that number is most likely growing everyday.

A prime example of a successful immigrant-owned Denver Metro business is Loris and Eddie Z’s auto shop located just north of Littleton, Colorado. Eddie finally decided it was time to build newer, larger space, and they wanted to use prefabricated building materials from local company Armstrong Steel Buildings.

Eddie and Loris came to Denver in search of opportunity. While it is true that 100 years ago, during the industrial revolution, immigrants were coming to the U.S. to fill general labor jobs to improve the economic position for themselves and their families, a lot has changed since then. These two business owners had a very specific idea of what they wanted when contacting Armstrong Steel to expand their business. They envisioned a clear span building with enough bays to accommodate the increasing workload their business has been experiencing.

As Iranian immigrants, Eddie and Loris are, without question, an American success story.

“The fabric of our nation is woven by the immigrant experience and its colorful patchwork is a living witness to America’s success. On the whole, America & Denver is reaping the benefits of our immigrant-friendly economic and civic structure,” says Eric Beavers, VP of Operations for Armstrong Steel.

Being familiar with construction, the Eddie knew the advantages of metal buildings and knew an Armstrong Building would be an extremely cost effective solution for what they envisioned. They contacted Armstrong Steel with their idea and Armstrong’s team of experts suggested a 70x60x14 steel building package, which included doors, skylights, gutters, downspouts, and insulation.

“Every time I’ve shown up to Armstrong Steel’s Headquarters in the Denver Tech Center to discuss a building project with the project managers they are accommodating, efficient, priced right and they take care of our needs.” says Shane M., a prominent Denver area general contractor who managed the project.

As the Zarooki’s business continues to grow, they plan to stick with Armstrong for any future expansion needs.

“We initially sent a building deposit to a well-known steel building company in Denver who we later learned had an established reputation for stealing people’s deposits and not delivering buildings. That was a huge mistake because we never got our building and they still have our money. Our first call should have been Armstrong Steel,” said Loris Z.

“Armstrong Steel is proud to contribute to building this land of opportunity for all persons living within our borders, especially those who came to our country in search of opportunity. Their hopes and dreams strengthen our own communities, and remind us that the great expanse of our country was built by hands from foreign lands,” said Ethan Chumley, Armstrong Steel’s Founder and CEO.

Frequently Asked Questions

We've helped thousands of contractors, small business owners, builders, do it yourselfers and their families learn more about the benefits of building with steel. Along the way, we've also answered more than a few questions about steel buildings — and we're always happy to help. For your convenience, we've compiled the answers to some of the more common questions.

FAQs

Steel Building Basics

How can I get a price on a building?

Call us and let's talk. In order to provide an accurate price, we'll need to ask you some questions about building size, style and use. Alternatively, you can use our Request a Quote/Contact Us form to specify what you need and you will be contacted by an Armstrong representative.

Do you offer specials?

That depends. We generally avoid gimmicky sales techniques. Instead, we prefer to price our buildings fairly and in a way that reflects the realities of each project. That means projects that have prepared and ready job sites or are timed to perfectly fill a void in our project schedule (like in the winter) may get extra special pricing.

How can I get the best possible deal?

There are two things that we prize: schedule flexibility and prepared job sites. Depending on the exact circumstance, these can qualify you for preferred pricing.

Who is eligible to buy direct?

Until recently, direct pricing on steel and pre-engineered building systems were only accessible to the nation's largest contractors. Armstrong pledged to change that. While Armstrong's Direct Buy program is designed specifically for those who have a prepared job site, our project managers prefer to spend time designing your building with you fairly and in a way that reflects the realities of each project. That means projects that have prepared and ready job sites or are timed to perfectly fill a void in our project schedule (like in the winter) may get extra special pricing. There are basic eligibility requirements for Armstrong's Direct Buy program.

You're probably eligible if you meet one or more of the following conditions:

You have your financing in place
You know what you want
You have your land or somewhere to store your delivered building components
You're prepared to place a deposit to secure your steel order and begin working on your drawings with your project manager.

It's important to remember that not everyone who is eligible for Armstrong's Direct Buy program ultimately utilizes it.

How strong is your steel?

When it comes to steel, thicker doesn't necessarily mean stronger. Steel strength is a combination of thickness (gauge), hardness (yield strength), rib height and spacing. Armstrong uses full-hard, high-yield strength steel panels with close rib spacing. Our steel panels are 26-gauge and have almost twice the yield strength of some of our competitors. When you consider all the steel strength factors, our panels provide the greatest structural integrity.

How do I get my building designed? Do I need an architect?

For simple buildings, you will want to work with your Armstrong Steel Project Consultant. He has thorough, real-world experience helping customers plan their buildings for optimum flow, value, function and aesthetics. If your project needs additional design savvy, it will be given to a designer in our corporate office. This takes care of a great majority of our customers. In certain cases, an architect may be needed. For instance, complex designs that are used by the public may benefit from an architect's skill. However, it's important you contact us before an outside architect to ensure that your building is designed to affordably accommodate pre-engineered construction.

Can I come visit?

Absolutely! We'd love to have you. If possible, call ahead so we can make arrangements. However, walk-ins are welcome too.

Am I buying directly from the factory?

Yes! Armstrong Steel is a steel building manufacturer. We own our own factory in Denver, Colorado. We also staff in-house draftsmen and detailers that work solely on Armstrong Building Projects. Armstrong Buildings are unique as we are in control of the stringent specifications, measurements, standards, and guidelines for your building. Of course, every building we deliver requires fabrication time and shipping time. Fabrication lead times vary for each building and the shipping time is based on the method of shipment you choose. At Armstrong Steel, we’re dedicated to delivering your building as quickly and affordably as possible. We offer a range of delivery and pickup options, so you can choose the shipping method that best meets your needs. Don't settle for less than factory direct pricing on your steel building. Do business with the manufacturer!

Are there color choices for my building?

Yes! You can choose from a variety of different colors! Your Armstrong Steel Building Expert will be able to provide you with those options.

Direct Buy Eligibility

Why participate in Armstrong's Direct Buy program?

The number one reason contractors, builders and do it yourselfers choose Armstrong's Direct Buy program is simple: The ability to purchase a building and maintain cost control from start to finish. That incredible benefit opens the doors of building ownership to thousands of people. Armstrong Steel also offers flexible payment terms and consistently lower prices than other steel building system providers. This program provides qualified builders with unmatched buying power and flexibility. For the vast majority of contractors, builders, and do it yourselfers Armstrong's Direct Buy program represents the simplest and most powerful path to building.

How do I qualify to buy direct and what happens afterward?

We will gather some basic information about your project, timeframe, and take a look at your budget. You'll then receive information on our products and get on the path to Direct Buy eligibility, which is a fairly simple process that merely requires a more detailed look at your project and your ability to manage certain aspects of your project yourself along with its associated costs.

When is the Direct Buy program not my best option?

For the vast majority of contractors, builders, do it yourselfers and their families, Armstrong's Direct Buy program represents the most flexible and powerful way to buy a steel building system on the market. Qualified do it yourselfers can purchase a building and more without 100% up front out-of-pocket spending. But there are some cases when our Direct Buy program may not represent the best fit. Some Builders or do it yourselfers might desire a local, on-site contractor to manage every aspect of the project. But that isn't the typical situation for most do it yourselfers. For everyone else, Armstrong's Direct Buy program often make the most financial sense and allow do it yourselfers to get the biggest bang for their buck.

How complicated is Armstrong's Direct Buy program?

As experts in the steel building industry, we've worked hard to make Armstrong's Direct Buy process as simple and streamlined as possible. Steel Buildings go up quicker and more affordably than other conventional construction methods, and that's one of the key benefits for first time builders and do it yourselfers.

Design Guidelines

Do I need an architect?

For simple buildings, you'll want to work with your Armstrong Steel Project Consultant. He has thorough, real-world experience helping customers plan their buildings for optimum flow, value, function and aesthetics. If your project needs additional design savvy, it will be given to a designer in our corporate office. This takes care of a great majority of our customers. In certain cases, an architect may be needed. For instance, complex designs that are used by the public may benefit from an architect's skill. However, it's important you contact us before an outside architect to ensure that your building is designed to affordably accommodate pre-engineered construction.

What types of structures are best served by going with steel?

All types! Steel buildings now account for almost 70 percent of all new low-rise construction in the United States, in part due to cost efficiency. Armstrong Steel Buildings have been used in almost every type of structure imaginable. Workshops, Markets, Churches, Equestrian, Agricultural, Hangars, Sports Facilities, Mini Storage, Government Projects, Garages and many more. The best way to make sure what you want to build is achievable with pre-engineered steel is by speaking with one of our building experts.

Will an Armstrong Steel Building System meet my local codes?

Of course! Every Armstrong Building is designed to meet or exceed your local codes. Armstrong Steel has extensive experience with building in the harshest of conditions; from 140 mph wind loads in Miami Dade, FL to 100+ psf snow loads in North Dakota.

Do I need to know exactly what I want before I lock in my building order?

If you qualify for Armstrong Steel's Direct Buy program you won't need to know every detail of the project before you lock in your order. After your order has been locked in, one of our Project Managers (PM) will contact you and hash out all the details.

Rising Steel Prices

What affects the price of my steel building?

The prices of individual metals, like prices for any commodity, are essentially determined by supply and demand. Current prices do not only factor in immediate supply and demand but also expectations of future supply and demand. In the past decade, China transformed the traditional pricing of iron ore as its prodigious metals appetite helped double global demand for seaborne iron ore. This coupled with rising gas prices, the economic recovery in the United States and a European rebound make for volatile steel prices. Steel prices tend to behave in the same manner as gas prices which is why we recommend placing in your order as soon as you know you will be building.

Learn more about Rising Steel Prices.

Why would I want to place my order if I don't plan on building for months?

The rising price of steel is more volatile than concrete prices, labor rates, or services. For this reason, contractors and builders recommend you place your order when you know with certainty that you're building - regardless of when.

Learn How to Get Started.

How do I avoid paying more for my steel building system?

Delivery & Erection

Who will erect my Armstrong Steel Building System?

Armstrong Steel Buildings come with easy to follow erection drawings and an erection manual. Many customers choose to erect the building themselves while others prefer a local contractor manage this aspect of the project.

What if I choose not to erect the steel building system myself?

There are several options should you choose not to erect the steel building system yourself. Your best bet is to find a local contractor to erect your building for you. Give us a call or fill out the online questionnaire and someone will be in touch with you shortly to discuss your project with you further.

Where does Armstrong Steel deliver to?

Armstrong Steel buildings are shipped all over the globe. There are no limitations to where we deliver to.

What if I have questions while I'm putting up my steel building?

We have a fully-staffed technical department available to answer any questions you may have and to help you through the building process. That's what we're here for!

How difficult is it to erect my steel building if I choose to do it myself?

A large percentage of people who buy pre-engineered steel buildings erect the structure themselves. Bolted together with no welding required, the building has been pre-engineered ahead of time for easy installation. We have personnel on staff with years of experience in erecting steel buildings, so there's not a single situation that you can encounter that we have not previously resolved. If you have a question at any time during the assembly process, we're just a toll-free call away.

How long does it take before my building is delivered?

We design each building on an individual basis. For this reason, delivery times vary based on the size and complexity of your specific order. Your project manager [PM] can give you a better idea of what to expect based on your particular project.

How is my Armstrong Steel Building delivered and do you unload it for me?

Typically, our buildings arrive on a 43' flatbed truck. All items for your steel building arrive packaged on pallets. We do not unload the building for you due to liability reasons. We recommend you have a small forklift on site the day the building is scheduled to arrive.

How can I be sure all the parts for my building have been delivered?

You will receive a bill of lading (parts list) to allow you to inventory your building. We strongly recommend you do this as you unload it. However, you have 5 days to complete your inventory and report it to us so that we may send you any missing parts.

Why Cheaper isn't Better

Why shouldn't I shop based on price alone?

For many people, buying a steel building is a once in a lifetime purchase. With a decision this important it's imperative you know what you're getting. Armstrong Steel's commitment to designing the very best building has always been second to none. There are plenty of ways to save money when constructing a steel building, but quality design and attention to detail isn't one of them. These factors contribute to the ease of assembly and on site delays can get costly quick. Many companies cut costs by subbing design and detailing services overseas. The few thousand dollars you may save on a cut rate building designed in China can quickly evaporate when parts are missing, holes don't line up, etc. On site costs outweigh your savings when you're forced to hire a welder, custom fabricate missing parts, or worse yet, be stuck waiting months for replacement parts.

Aren't all steel buildings the same?

Yikes. No! There are hundreds of steel building "websites" online. But the vast majority of these websites are nothing more than a website with low published prices and a couple guys rubbing their hands together, waiting for your call. Once you've fallen for the cheapest price, many of these websites use their overseas contacts to contract the cheapest design and detailing services available, sometimes as cheap as $200. These overseas detailers are rarely concerned about your assembly experience and the name of the game is hurry up and finish. Then, the construction drawings drafted overseas are sent to the cheapest steel provider the steel building "website" can find. It's a recipe for disaster when you don't know exactly who is designing your building and to what standard and when something goes wrong, the steel building website's hands are tied. The fabricator blames the overseas cut list, the overseas detailers deny liability, and the steel building website says, "but you got your building, didn't you?"

What's a Broker and Why Should I Avoid Them?

What is the difference between an OEM manufacturer and a broker?

A broker quotes you a price, and then finds the cheapest supplier in order to find the largest profit margin. Brokers will order a building, and subcontract the design somewhere else, usually off shore. The steel building broker isn’t invested in your project, and this is evident by them shopping for the least expensive manufacturer. If there are erection problems, it’s your problem. If the building doesn’t fit together, it’s your problem.

Buying directly from a manufacturer is a smarter option. Armstrong Steel owns and operates our very own manufacturing facility in Denver, CO. Manufacturers control every step in the process of a steel building project, from conception to completion. In addition, Accountability and improvement are among our core objectives and we hold our products and processes to the highest standards. We have the ability to focus on quality, and ensure tight deadlines are met. We also have a full engineering and detailing team in-house, not overseas. Isn’t that what you would expect for your steel building purchase?

Locking in Your Steel Order

Armstrong Steel provides qualified customers with a simple way to take advantage of lower steel prices with a small engineering payment. Steel is a commodity that behaves similarly to other commodities such as oil. Unfortunately, current market conditions don’t allow for the locking in of your steel price. Consumers often times find it difficult to grasp the concept of steel prices rising and falling because steel price fluctuations aren't front and center on the news like oil which causes gas prices to fluctuate wildly, all the while steadily increasing. Except currently, steel and lumber prices are soaring and it’s basically impossible to lock in your steel price with anyone right now.

Steel prices, like any commodity, are ultimately influenced by supply and demand. Oil prices increase because of factors that are reported on national news like wars, pipeline shutdowns and the summer driving season. Steel prices also react to decreased supply and increased demand but its factors are often not on the news. When the tsunami hit Japan, steel prices were affected. When steel manufacturing facilities go on strike around the world or are struggling to get fully staffed like what we’re experiencing currently, steel prices are affected. When the Keystone pipeline was shut down, the increase in oil prices affects everything you purchase. When construction season comes around, steel prices are affected. When the need for steel increases, the global supply goes down which in turn causes a spike in steel prices around the world. The current and projected future economic climate makes now the best time to purchase a steel building. In fact, the sooner the better as you want to avoid incurring more than one price increase.

Armstrong Steel has long been the largest and most recognized pre-engineered building supplier in the United States. Thousands of people contact Armstrong Steel every month! We have the buying power in the industry necessary to acquire steel building materials when many other brokers are being turned away. Unforeseen events like what we are currently experiencing cause steel prices to increase and steel to become hard to obtain but Armstrong Steel offers its clients access to extraordinary buying power.

Builders want to do business with a name they can trust because it just doesn't make sense to take a risk. Many internet based companies are nothing more than a website and ultimately, you really don't know who you're working with. Don't risk your investment! Go with Armstrong.

How's It Work?

With a very modest engineering payment you are assigned a project manager who will help you design your building and get your project slotted in engineering and detailing. This is a huge advantage in today's market and something that smaller steel building outfits are not able to do. Many steel building websites are just a broker with a telephone who then has to subcontract the detailing and engineering elsewhere. With current conditions, that can be very problematic and lead to the assessment of multiple price increases while you wait for engineering and detailing labor and/or actual materials to become available. Be very selective and don't risk your project with just anyone.

Two Great Purchasing Options:

DirectBuy Program

Often called "Direct Pricing", Armstrong's DirectBuy program is great for folks who are looking to realize significant savings on the steel itself and select their own components locally or from the direct pricing catalog.

Retail Building Purchase

An option for those who seek a more hands off, full-service approach. Call your Building Expert at corporate headquarters for further assistance.

The impending future economic climate makes now a great time for many folks to buy a steel building as some project steel to cost twice as much a year from now. While price increases are impossible to avoid right now, it’s better to get your building now than a year from now.

Direct Buy Eligibility

Typically, you can qualify if you have your financing in place, know what you want, have a place to store your delivered building, and are prepared to make a fractional engineering payment towards the final balance of your building.

It really isn't difficult to qualify to participate in Armstrong's DirectBuy program. One of the biggest benefits to Armstrong's DirectBuy program is access to a project manager who, for lack of a better term, will hold your hand and walk you through this process step by step.

You'll have access to Armstrong's Direct Pricing Catalog and receive special pricing not only for steel but on building components such as doors, windows, insulations, etc.

It is important to note that in order to receive Armstrong's Direct Pricing Catalog or to get slotted in engineering, you must hold an existing order with us.

Once approved to participate in Armstrong's DirectBuy program, your journey does not stop there. Learn more about helpful tips and guidelines in our next section.

Am I Eligible For Direct Pricing?

It really doesn't take much to qualify for a range of benefits earned through buying a steel building at factory direct pricing.Chief among those benefits is an opportunity to take part in direct pricing not only on steel but on building components as well such as doors, windows, insulation, etc.

Until recently, buying steel and pre-engineered building systems factory direct were only accessible to the nation's largest contractors. Armstrong pledged to change that. While Armstrong's DirectBuy program is designed specifically for those who have a prepared job site, our project managers prefer to spend time designing your building with you fairly and in a way that reflects the realities of each project. That means projects that have prepared and ready job sites or are timed to perfectly fill a void in our project schedule (like in the winter) may get extra special pricing.

In order to qualify to participate in Armstrong's Factory DirectBuy program, you must be able to pay an engineering fee to place your steel order and accept delivery of the building in a timely manner, however you may choose to delay the delivery of your steel building system under special circumstances. Ask your project manager for details.

You're probably eligible if you meet one or more of the following conditions:

You have your financing in place, OR
You know what you want, OR
You have your land or somewhere to store your delivered building components, OR
You're prepared to pay an engineering payment to secure your steel order and begin working on your drawings with your project manager.

Don't meet these requirements? You may still be eligible. Call 800-345-4610 or fill out this form now to get started.

Questions about whether you qualify to Buy Direct?

Armstrong Steel Building Systems, a Colorado company, proudly announces its ranking of #11 among the Top 100 Construction Companies nationally in Inc. magazine’s 2013 Inc. 500, an exclusive recognition of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies.

DENVER -Armstrong Steel Building Systems, a Colorado company, proudly announces its ranking of #11 among the Top 100 Construction Companies nationally in Inc. magazine’s 2013 Inc. 500, an exclusive recognition of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies.

For 32 years, Inc. has welcomed the fastest growing private companies in America into a very exclusive club. Make no mistake: The club is more exclusive this year than ever in its history. Simply to make it onto the Inc. 500 this year, a company had to grow more than 918 percent from the start of 2010. The average company on the list grew a mind-boggling 2,900 percent. Those are results most businesses could only dream of in the economy of the past three years.

As an Inc. 500 honoree, Armstrong Steel Building Systems now shares a pedigree with Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Jamba Juice, Timberland, Clif Bar, Pandora, Patagonia, Oracle, and dozens of other notable recent alumni. In addition to Armstrong Steel Building Systems, the 2013 list added such powerhouses as Alex and Ani, LivingSocial, Bojangles, Otterbox, and KT Tape.

“Armstrong Steel is honored to be recognized as one of the United States’ fastest-growing companies,” said President, Ethan Chumley. “Our company has grown exponentially to just over 50 full time employees-and we don’t plan on stopping there. We offer innovative building solutions with competitive prices in a staggering economy. Recognition within this national arena as #11 in the Construction Industry, a 1,438% percent three-year growth rate, and ranking No.10 among all private companies in the state of Colorado is a notable accomplishment.

At Armstrong Steel, we understand that not all our customers are alike. We have some customers who understand all of the technical nuances of contracting and have the capability of doing everything themselves. We also have customers who are completely new to the idea of managing their own building project and we recognize that the experience can be intimidating. Bottom line? Some of our customers will need a fair amount of hand holding and that’s OK! We love sharing our knowledge and expertise with new customers. We’ll show you how to cut out the middleman or we’ll put you in touch with an Armstrong dealer who can manage your entire project – start to finish. We work to cater to all those savvy customers, all the “newbies” and everyone in between. Visit Armstrong Steel today at https://armstrongsteel.wpengine.com or call 800-345-4610.

Hawaiian Falls Waco, the largest waterpark in central Texas, approached Armstrong Steel about quickly designing, engineering, and delivering a metal building for use as a food pavilion. Hawaiian Falls Waco has the areas first football field-sized water pool, two, six-story slide complexes, raft rides, and tube slides.

DENVER –The newest addition to the five waterpark chain, which has 4 other locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, recently contracted Armstrong Steel to assist them in their $6.7 million dollar renovation. Armstrong Steel was happy to design, engineer, and deliver steel for their new waterpark. They shopped and compared many other steel building companies, but Armstrong Steel’s affordable pricing and high quality product blew the competition out of the water. In fact, everyone other quote came in at roughly double what Armstrong Steel quoted.

Hawaiian Falls came to Armstrong Steel in the midst of their renovation. They wanted a durable structure that could withstand the elements. Steel was the obvious choice because it doesn’t warp, expand, contract, absorb water, feed termites, rust, catch fire or become a breeding ground for fungus; which makes it an ideal choice for a water park. They also had a very specific deadline to meet. Hawaiian Falls needed this structure to be delivered as fast as possible so they would have enough time to complete construction before their grand opening, and they knew they could trust Armstrong Steel.

“Timing was an extremely important factor for us and we knew no one in America could get a steel building on site quicker than Armstrong Steel – so the choice was easy. We needed an open structure to use for a food pavilion at our waterpark in Waco, Texas. Armstrong Steel came through and got us our building in time for our Grand Opening ceremony,” says Adam J project manager for Hawaiian Falls Waco.

“The quality of the building blew us away – especially considering they had the lowest price. Literally, they came in at about half the cost of everyone else. We expected it to be easy to erect but, wow! It was a breeze! The quality of the building was beyond anything we anticipated and the pre-galvanized secondary framing was impressive. With all of the unscrupulous steel building companies out there today, we’re glad we chose Armstrong Steel because we got what we paid for and THEN some AND they came through in a pinch!” said Adam Jordan, project manager for Hawaiian Falls Waco, Texas location.

Delivery is never an issue for Armstrong Steel. Armstrong’s in house engineering department allows for quick and efficient designing, detailing, and engineer certification of your building so you get exactly what you want, when you need it. The added benefit of pre-engineered metal buildings is the time you save during construction. Armstrong Steel Buildings come complete with detailed assembly instructions, an erection manual, wet stamped engineer certified blueprints and all the parts are numbered to correspond with the drawings. This allows a small crew to quickly erect and put the finishing touches on an Armstrong Building in mere weeks instead of taking months to construct a comparable building made from traditional materials.

“As promised, Armstrong Steel came through and delivered the building on time and we made sure it went up without a hitch well before Hawaiian Falls grand opening on May 28th 2012. The Waco branch of Hawaiian Falls experienced a successful opening and an immensely successful season drawing 145,000 visitors! We’re proud to have been a part of it all,” says Ethan Chumley, President of Armstrong Steel.

Armstrong Steel was delighted to be a part of Hawaiian Falls Waco’s reconstruction and is now the go to company for any other additions they may require. Dave Busch, Hawaiian Falls CEO said he will meet with city officials soon to propose some ideas, including more large-scale and small-scale water features, live entertainment, ropes courses and zip lines.

Armstrong Steel, a Greenwood Village, Colorado based Original Equipment Manufacturer of metal building kits was recently contracted by Noel Pritchett to assist him with designing a 60’ x 70’ steel framed home with a 27’ x 39’ attached lean to including walk doors, garage doors, and windows. He instantly knew he wanted an Armstrong Steel building and said he chose Armstrong Steel Buildings because of the quality, reputation, and affordable price.

DENVER –The home Mr. Pritchett built in conjunction with Armstrong Steel is located in Cedar Creek, Texas and is one of many that Armstrong Steel has worked on in Texas. In fact, Texas is one of the busier states Armstrong Steel designs buildings for.

Noel Pritchett came to Armstrong Steel to get the framework he needed to build his home. Many people are using steel for residential construction simply because of the cost savings and durability. On average, a self-built home employing builders, costs 20% less than an average new-build home according to Tom de Castella of BBC News Magazine. That same study also found that the number of people building their own homes is increasing dramatically across the globe.

“Armstrong Steel is seeing a rise in the sale of pre-engineered building materials for use in residential construction, and consequently we are offering rebates to first time builders,” says President of Armstrong Steel, Ethan Chumley. Other companies are often intimidated by the heightened level of difficulty involving designing pre-engineered homes, but Armstrong Steel’s pre-engineered designers, draftsmen, and detailers are able to quickly and efficiently get you exactly the design you want while staying on budget.

“Everyone at Armstrong does exemplary work and is so nice and helpful. We also want to say how much we enjoyed working with our project manager. He is very knowledgeable in so many areas and was wonderful to work with. The local company in Bastron, TX that we hired to erect the building couldn’t have been more complimentary about the quality of the building and the ease in which it went up,” says Noel Pritchett. “They were so impressed with the structure! The building is exactly what we were hoping for. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for a job so well done! We would highly recommend you, your company, and all of your employees to anyone looking to purchase a steel building. It was a pleasure to work with you.”

“We can’t put into words just how much we love our finished Armstrong Building! The covered porch and the rest of the building turned out beautifully. Armstrong Steel did an amazing job! All of the work was done with such care, skill, and precision.” says Mr. Pritchett. “When a few panels showed up the wrong length, Armstrong Steel was so quick about getting new replacement panels on site. It all went smoothly and we’re glad we chose Armstrong Steel. Thanks again.”

“When I was shopping around for a 60x120x16 building, General Steel wound up acting like every company in the industry couldn’t be trusted. When I told them I was buying an Armstrong building, they insisted on putting me on the telephone with a Vice President who proceeded to tell me that Armstrong Steel would steal my deposit, not deliver my building, and wind up penalizing me with price increases. I’m glad I didn’t let them scare me out of choosing Armstrong Steel. None of these things wound up happening. I decided to go with Armstrong Steel to buy my 60x120x16 Armstrong building with galvanized secondary framing, interior liner panel, 6″ roof and wall insulation, (2) 24×16 overhead doors, (1) 16×14 overhead door, (3) walk doors, and (8) 3×3 windows. Guess what showed up? Exactly that …and on the date they said it would. I am very pleased with Armstrong Steel and would recommend them to anyone!” says Jeff Darr.

DENVER –Armstrong Steel has been selected by Darr Equipment in Illinois to draft, design, detail, engineer, and supply an Armstrong Steel pre-engineered metal building for construction in Piasa, Illinois. The project consists of a 60x120x16 Armstrong Steel Building with a 3:12 roof pitch, interior liner panel, and Armstrong’s premium roof and wall insulation package.

Colorado’s immigrant-owned businesses generate a whopping $684 million a year in revenue, according to a five-year average from the American Community Survey. According to a recent study conducted by a research organization in New York, there are over 13,000 immigrant-owned small businesses in Colorado.

DENVER – Colorado’s immigrant-owned businesses generate a whopping $684 million a year in revenue, according to research conducted by the American Community Survey. There are over 13,000 immigrant-owned small businesses in Colorado according to a recent study conducted by the Fiscal Policy Institute, a research organization in New York.

The report, Immigrant Small Business Owners: A Significant and Growing Part of the Economy, details the number and characteristics of immigrant small business owners across the country and Colorado’s number of immigrant owned businesses, specifically, is an ‘unexpected finding’ said Kathy White, deputy project director at the Colorado Fiscal Policy Institute. Another interesting finding, the report says, is that Denver Metro immigrants are 10 percent more likely to own a small business than their U.S.-born counterparts.

The study used data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. The $684 million in earnings from immigrant-owned businesses is based on revenues from 2006 to 2010, the publication reports.

The study defined small businesses as firms with fewer than 100 employees. In the United States, small businesses employed 35 million people in 2007, accounting for 30 percent of all private-sector employment, according to the most recent Survey of Small Business Owners reported in the study.

A prime example of a successful immigrant owned Denver Metro business is Loris and Eddie Zarooki’s auto shop located just north of Littleton, Colorado. This year, the Zarooki’s decided it was time to build newer, larger space, all thanks to using prefabricated building materials from local company Armstrong Steel Buildings.

Owners Eddie and Loris Zarooki came to Denver in search of opportunity. While it is true that 100 years ago, during the industrial revolution, immigrants were coming to the U.S. to fill general labor jobs to improve the economic position for themselves and their families, a lot has changed since then. These two business owners had a very specific idea of what they wanted when contacting Armstrong Steel to expand their business. They envisioned a clear span building with enough bays to accommodate the increasing workload their business has been experiencing.

As Iranian immigrants, the Zarooki’s are, without question, an American success story. “The fabric of our nation is woven by the immigrant experience and its colorful patchwork is a living witness to America’s success. On the whole, America & Denver is reaping the benefits of our immigrant-friendly economic and civic structure.” says Eric Beavers, VP of Operations for Armstrong Steel.

Being familiar with construction, the Zarooki’s knew the advantages of metal buildings and knew an Armstrong Building would be an extremely cost effective solution for what they envisioned. They contacted Armstrong Steel with their idea and Armstrong’s team of experts suggested their 70x60x14 package, which included doors, skylights, gutters, downspouts, and insulation.

“Every time I’ve shown up to Armstrong Steel’s Headquarters in the Denver Tech Center to discuss a building project with the project managers they are accommodating, efficient, priced right and they take care of our needs.” says Shane Mostashiry, a prominent Denver area general contractor managing the project.

As the Zarooki’s business continues to grow, they plan to stick with Armstrong for any future expansion needs. “We initially sent a building deposit to a well-known steel building company in Denver who we later learned had an established reputation for stealing people’s deposits and not delivering buildings. That was a huge mistake because we never got our building and they still have our money. Our first call should have been Armstrong Steel.” Loris Zarooki said.
