When it comes to roofing, there are a variety of options to choose from, and deciding between them can be difficult. Two of the most popular options for contractors are shingles and metal roofing. Each has its own unique advantages and drawbacks, so it's important to understand the differences between them before deciding on which one is right for your project.
Another consideration is if you have the right tools to ensure efficient and proper material installation. For example, the SCRAIL® ROOFLOC® Metal Roofing System developed by BECK is the ultimate installation device when it comes to metal roofing. Since the SCRAIL® ROOFLOC® fasteners are pneumatically driven in, metal roofing can be put in quickly and efficiently.
But which roofing option is best for your client? Let’s compare the two options!

For any construction business, commercial building renovation is a vital part of keeping your portfolio in top condition. It’s a massive market—in fact, the market size in the U.S. alone is a $46.2 billion dollar industry, and is expected to grow another 2.2% in 2023.
With such a booming industry, it’s important to have all the right tools—like ET&F® (a BECK member) fastening systems. These tools make for efficient commercial work, particularly when working with light gauge steel parts of the project. It’s also important to have the knowledge for tackling this kind of construction work. From understanding why renovations are important to knowing what needs to be done to prepare for them, here are some key insights into how you can make the most of your commercial building renovation jobs.

Fastener failure happens. Machinery vibrations and heavy use are the primary causes of fastener failure, but poor installation of staples and nails can exacerbate the problem. Fastener failure is a common cause of leaks and deterioration of exterior structures, but most failures can be avoided.
The best way is by using BECK’s patented Diamond Coated Fasteners—they are designed not to fail. They have a proprietary coating composition that stops staple and nail failure before it begins, by controlling friction and destroying fewer wood fibers. But first, let’s investigate the causes of fastener failure and then review the solutions.

Not all contractors work in a climate where it’s warm enough all year round to pour concrete without special considerations. There are myths that say you shouldn’t work with concrete in the cold—but the truth is, you can still get the job done.

We’ll show you a few tips to work with concrete in cold weather, and we’ll also show you one of our favorite tools for concrete and masonry work, which is the ET&F® (a BECK member) Aerico® 90 tool and fastener system.

In the world of nail guns, two of the most easily confused tools are the pin nailer and the brad nailer. Both power tools offer enough similarity in their applications that many professionals and amateurs use them interchangeably, but both are also different enough that knowing which is best for what use becomes important.
BECK's selection of both brad and pin nailer tools and combination bradder/pinner nailers is no exception. Both types of precisely crafted nail guns from BECK are designed to provide high-quality professional finishing work for diverse wood projects. However, it's up to you as a contractor to know when you should use which gun and when either a bradder or pinner would be ideal. Let's get down to the details about their similarities and crucial differences.

You might not think too much about how temperature can affect the materials and tools on a construction site, but it certainly does—and in all kinds of ways. Virtually every building material has thermal properties of one kind or another than can create subtle (or not so subtle) problems when they manifest during sizzling summer weather under the sun.

Wooden pallets are one of those common mass-manufactured products that have so many possible post-production uses. Nonetheless, once these jobs have been completed and the pallets delivered to their destinations, they're often discarded. This doesn't need to be the case, however, especially for high-quality pallets made from smooth, dense pine joined together by superbly tough crating SCRAIL® fasteners from BECK.
Instead, you can effectively reuse pallets of all kinds for many purposes. One of these is compost boxes. Let's look at how this is possible, as an excellent example of just how versatile pallets can be in their recycled afterlife.
