Since 1914, McClure-Johnston Company has been distributing building materials to the construction industry. Although the company has grown through the years, the commitment to quality and service has remained unchanged. Whether you are new to our company or you are an old friend, we look forward to providing you with this same quality and service that has become our standard for over ninety years.

On June 12, 1914, William McClure and George Johnston merged each of their companies and incorporated into a new entity.  The new company combined The McClure Company and the GA Johnston Company to form the McClure-Johnston Company.   The new venture opened its doors in the City of Pittsburgh at 1135 Liberty Avenue.  In 1924, the business moved to Smallman Street (underneath what is now 279 North), where it expanded into wholesale roofing and sheet metal.  In 1967, the Company purchased the old Summerfield Machinery buildings on Corey Avenue in Braddock.

Since then, the Company has experienced tremendous growth, expanding their product selection, opening new branches and building a talented team of employees.
 
In 1977 the Company opened its first branch operation in Johnstown. Since then, McClure-Johnston has expanded continuously. Offering quality and service in the following areas:
 
  • Johnstown, PA (1977)
  • New Castle, PA (1978)
  • Atlanta, GA (1986)
  • Harrisburg, PA (1989)
  • Cranberry, PA (1995)
  • Clarksburg, WV (1998)
  • Williamsport, PA (1998)
  • Macon, GA (2005)
  • Parkersburg, WV (2006)
  • New Kensington, PA (2007)
  • Cumberland, MD (2008)
  • Erie, PA (2010)
  • Bluefield, WV (2010)
 
Today, McClure-Johnston Company is not only the oldest Western Pennsylvania roofing distributor, but also the BEST.  As the largest stocking residential roofing distributor in the area, McClure-Johnston Company can provide  a wider selection and a complete inventory.    The Company sells commercial and residential roofing products, siding, soffit, gutters, replacement windows and other exterior building products.  
 
As the Company looks to the future, they will continue to meet the needs of customers, as they have since 1914, with quality and service.

Product Spotlight

Product Spotlight Simonton Asure

The new Asure™ product line from Simonton Windows® offers a variety of the features homeowners request most in their replacement windows. These durable vinyl windows are designed to provide a large viewing area (sightline) that allows more natural daylight into the home. Homeowners will appreciate these windows that enable them to connect more with nature and “bring the outdoors inside” their homes.

The patented Lap-Lok® Meeting Rail, combined with fin seal weatherstripping, helps seal the window against wind and rain. The unique “stepped sill” helps deter air and water infiltration and is designed with integral “chambers” for added strength, thermal performance and rigidity--providing peace-of-mind to homeowners investing in new replacement windows.
 
From the exterior, Asure windows complement a home’s design. The appealing tiered brickmould design of the window frame provides enhanced curb appeal and an attractive architectural “finished” look. Clean corner welds and a clean exterior construction complete the pleasing exterior look of the windows.
 
On the interior, Asure windows incorporate a tested and proven constant force balance system, allowing homeowners to operate the sash with ease. Backed by a Double-Lifetime Limited Warranty, the constant force balance has been tested to 4,000 cycles and meets ASTM and AAMA Gold standards.
 
Asure windows are available nationwide in a variety of popular operating styles, including Double Hung, Picture, Slider, Half-round, Half-round with leg and Eyebrow with leg. They can also be ordered to meet ENERGY STAR® criteria in all regions of the country. For additional details, visit www.simonton.com.

April News from DaVinci Roofscapes

April showers bring May flowers... and lots of storms! Weather across the United States has been turbulent over the last few weeks, damaging many homes and buildings, leaving many home and business owners a little unnerved. As well, many are overwhelmed with the expense of repairs made necessary by the ugly weather. A new roof can be a large, unplanned expense, especially when insurance doesn't cover costs. Add in all the decisions that need to be made when choosing a product for a new roof, and you might have one very confused (not to mention concerned) property owner. The articles below will help you guide your clients to the best decision for their home or business, which is, of course, a new DaVinci roof!


The Best Protection from Hail Comes in the Form of Polymer Roof Tiles

Roofs are meant to keep your home and family safe from the elements. Without them, the sun would blaze down into the home during the hot, summer months, snow would fall into the living room in January, and the house would be flooded every time it rained. Read more...

Tennis Balls of Ice Demolish Roof

After roof hail damage destroyed the 80-year-old clay roofing tiles on his home in 2010, homeowner Dean Imel described the storm as "tennis balls of ice" that pounded his community.While meeting with his insurance adjuster after the storm Imel learned that the only roofing product in his area untouched by the massive hail storm was the polymer roofing tiles from DaVinci Roofscapes. Read full story...



Bellaforté: The Same Proven Engineered Polymer Roof Tiles, But a Different Profile

The Bellaforté roof tiles engineered by DaVinci Roofscapes can seem so lightweight and easy to install that some contractors have speculated that they aren't made with the same durable, polymer resin as the other DaVinci Roofscapes products. Nothing could be further from the truth because they are certainly made of the same, carefully engineered and tested materials as our other quality synthetic shake and slate roof tiles.

Is Your Homeowner's Association Holding Colors Hostage?

When it comes to your home exterior, a good rule of thumb is to "stand out while still fitting in" but how far does your neighborhood association (HOA) go to make sure your idea of fitting in aligns with theirs?

One in four homeowners report that they are restricted from freely selecting their exterior colors by rules imposed by their homeowners association. In some cases, the homeowners association limits the choices to a handful of colors preselected to maintain unity in the community. Read More...
