Joseph Hochstetler is a residential contractor with J Troyer Roofing. His company has used Buckeye Metal Sales for five years. Recently, J Troyer installed Buckeye’s metal board and batten, Aristolath, for a few of their projects. Here are the beautiful results.

Project A: A Retreat Center

J Troyer topped off this stunning vacation spot–Whispering Pines Retreat in Jeromesville, OH– with black crinkle Aristolath. This 1,300-square-foot cabin sits on the shores of a beautiful pond.

J Troyer Roofing also finished a pole barn in Delaware with black Aristolath siding. For both the pole barn and the retreat center, J Troyer Roofing used reverse J paneling. The slats are further apart (12” instead of 7”), giving the exterior a less crowded look. Around the windows, the trim fills it out, preventing any white from showing and ensuring a neat, refined look.

Project B: A Two-Story Garage

Here is another project that J Troyer completed in Ostrander, OH. This roomy, 2-story garage showcases black crinkle Aristolath siding and the Buckeye Wave roofing panel.

How It Is to Work with Buckeye

“I would recommend Buckeye,” Joseph says, “for their service and fair price. Most metal companies have a 3-day lead time on most of their stuff. And even if you order something small, you might still have a 2-day lead time. Then you have to wait to go back to the job to finish it.”

“I would recommend Buckeye for their service and fair price.”

“With Buckeye, if you’re short on something, they’ll deliver it that day so you can finish up. It’s very nice. They never complain when they have to run something out to a job site.”
