We are artists ourselves and enjoy planning and designing projects with you. Don't know anything about metal? No problem. We listen, educate and offer ideas so you can understand what your options are and make the best choice for you and your home. Bridger Steel opened its doors in Bozeman, MT in 1996 when owner, Dennis Johnson, realized farmers, ranchers and homeowners needed better access to high quality metal panels in the American West. Through hard work, ingenuity and a distaste for the word “No”, Dennis helped his customers find new uses for metal in residential, agricultural, and commercial markets and pushed for new styles, better paint systems, and higher quality materials. Today, we purchase steel from American producers and work with American based paint and accessory companies to ensure the panels we manufacture are consistent and high quality. We collaborate with those companies to develop new colors and styles to meet the needs and ideas of our customers. Bridger Steel offers one of the largest selections of colors, panel profiles, and prints of any manufacturer on in the market. Now, with seven stores in five states and the ability to ship products across the country, we’ve helped hundreds of architects, builders, homeowners, farmers and ranchers create strong and durable projects that look beautiful and stand up to the elements. We believe the sky is the limit. If you can imagine it we’ll find a way to help your vision become a reality. ### Services Provided - Metal Roofing - Green Roofing - Custom Metal Fabrication - Metal Accents - Metal Siding - Metal Trim & Accessories ### Areas Served - Billings - Great Falls - Bozeman - Belgrade - Casper - Denver - National Shipping - Portland - Rapid City ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Bridger Steel, Inc. | | Address | 1558 Amsterdam Road, Belgrade, Montana 59714, United States | | Phone | (833) 783-3587 | | Website | http://www.bridgersteel.com | | Followers on Houzz | 275 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bridger-Steel/146568915528352 - X (Twitter) — https://twitter.com/bridgersteel - LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/company/bridger-steel/ - Blog — https://www.instagram.com/bridger\_steel/ ## Offers Find a showroom near you! _https://www.bridgersteel.com/locations_ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Bridger Steel, Inc.](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/roofing-and-gutters/bridger-steel-inc-pfvwus-pf~1988517596) - **Website:** http://www.bridgersteel.com - **Phone:** (833) 783-3587 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 4 awards (2015–2018), for Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 4.7 out of 5 — 35 reviews** ### Reviews **★★★★★ — Over the Top Roofing Byers, Sept. 2018** > Brett is an awesome guy to work with at this company, understands the product and understands the importance of getting it right the first time! Great customer service > Thanks! **★ — Cara McGary, June 2017** > I used Bridger Steel for siding the house I am building. This used to be a good company run by a great guy but now it is run by woefully incompetent people! I will shop out of state and pay the extra delivery costs to avoid the junk show next time. > I placed four orders over the course of my project. The first time they did not load the entire order at pick up, causing all kinds of issues at the job site when we attempted to put the siding up. We were also given the wrong colored screws (too much of one color and none of another), then given resistance when we tried to return the excess. On the second order, the person taking the order didn't understand the cut list and didn't even put the right pieces in the order. On the third order, when I went to pick it up, they wouldn't give me the order paperwork so that I could review it. They said the guys in the yard would have it. Again, pieces were missing and were not packaged as requested and clearly stated on the invoice. I just put in my fourth (June 2017) tiny order to try to finish compensating for all these mistakes, was given attitude, and hope they can actually fill an order of three pieces without fouling it up. I have zero confidence in the staff, nor their commitment to service. The mistakes they made cost me thousands in additional labor costs. I'm thoroughly unimpressed. The staff are not knowledgeable about their products or application. The product is of good quality (so far), but getting an accurate order seems impossible. **★★★★★ — Yellowstone Architects, Dec. 2016** > Bridger Steel does an excellent job of generating unique solutions to design ideas. They are a pleasure to work with! **★★★★ — E\_Spear, Sept. 2015** > Extremely fast completion of order, Bridger Steel has very good customer service! We use Bridger Steel for 90% of our steel work! **★★★★★ — BBarrhat, Sept. 2015** > I put steel on a 40 x 60 shop, all the walls and roof. Great place to do business with! Helped a lot with color design and ideas! **★★★★★ — TLacotta, Sept. 2015** > Friendly and know from roof to airplane hanger and porch surround. Roof metal was custom made and cut steel and delivered to site. Everything was great. **★★★★★ — DVanKuiken, Sept. 2015** > Used Bridger Steel Metal for a 30 x 52 shop/garage. Bridger is very professional to work with totally. They are an awesome company. **★★★★★ — B\_Falco, Sept. 2015** > Ordering with Brett was easy and he was helpful. Looking forward to getting the job done. Excited about your products! **★★★★★ — m\_muntean, Sept. 2015** > Never had a problem ordering tin from Bridger Steel. Great people and easy to work with. I'll keep working with Bridger Steel and ordering stuff from them. **★★★★★ — M\_Shepherd\_, Sept. 2015** > From the time we submitted plans for an estimate to the time we started ordering material for the job, Brett guided me and helped make the process easy and made sure we stayed on budget. What a great team Dennis has at Bridger Steel. **★★ — Astelier, July 2014** > I'll start by saying that the most recent project I used Bridger Steel for had a number of roof faces and they eventually got me the steel I needed, and it is great quality. However the path there was extremely arduous. > > After the initial estimate by BS, I waited till the roof was all framed before taking as-built measurements and making an order. This meant I would have the most accurate materials list, but meant I would want it as soon as possible. In absolute contrast to all the PR on their website and all the recorded staff praise you hear while on hold, the salesman was far from helpful, to the point I wondered if he was being deliberately obstinate. I supplied 1/4"=1'-0" plan drawings with graphics showing the standing seam layout as well as slope arrows and all dimensions in emailed files. He supplied an initial take-off and then called me saying he was in Great Falls and someone else would be completing the order, they would call. That's ok, but two days later when I stopped waiting and called this other person they wanted me to compile my own cut sheet. Then the first sales man was back and took back over. He sent me a layout plan, which was great because it showed that in spite of the detailed drawings he had, he ran the standing seam metal E-W on one side of a ridge and N-S on the other. I was working on the jobsite every day and could only check my email in the early mornings or evenings. He would forget one section and need to revise, or email me questions like "What kind of fasteners would you like?" one per day. I would call or email back and answer but each one wasted more time. When the materials list was complete I called and wanted to go over the items to make sure I knew which profile went where. After my second question I was told, "You need to educate yourself on our website". There were six or eight different profiles, the website manual was indeed helpful, but it would have taken five minutes for him to tell me where the pieces he spec'd were intended to go. Eventually I gave up and drove in to the shop to go over the whole thing again, an hour from my jobsite. > > Once the order was in it was produced in a timely manner, but I received no notification when I had expected so I called in. It took six calls over two days to find that my order had been completed the previous week but would not be delivered for another week. I asked if I could pick it up myself and went in the next day. > > I have laid metal roofing, but I don't do it every day. I did not know that mechanical lock seams require a special crimping tool. Maybe I should have known, but I didn't. After picking up the metal and taking the wrap off this was soon apparent. I went back to the online manual and though a crimper was noted in the tools section, there were zero instructions on where or how it was to be used. After the fact, it is anything but difficult, but if you don't know you don't know. How difficult would it have been for the salesman to say, "For your application we recommend a mechanical lock system, it requires a special crimping tool, but we have them to borrow (or rent)."? I did a web search and found the information on a different manufacturers instruction manual. > > So I called BS to ask if they had a crimping tool I could rent. After thousands spent on the roofing I was told they would provide me one for $20 plus $5/day after 5 days. That's fine, but there's another couple hours out of another day to go back and pick it up when I could have picked it up with the order. When I get back to the jobsite I find the tool doesn't work. I call in and they determine they needed to give me a different crimper to use before crimping a second time with the tool they did give me, another couple hours back and forth. > > When we were almost complete we found we were missing some pieces for a short section of roof. As it was an important section to finish off we cut up a few longer pieces thinking to order replacements. The next day, about a week after I had picked up the material, I received a call stating there were pieces in the warehouse that hadn't been loaded. I went in to the office, returned the crimpers to find they were $50/ initial five days, not the $20 I had been told, x2= $100 minimum for the use of a couple hand tools. Then the salesman comes to the counter to deride me for not calling when I found I was short some material. I finally, finally, had enough and explained to him just why I was not overly willing to stop in the middle of a project to call their office for resolution. > > The BS policy is that customers are not allowed to help load, and all the cut panels were wrapped. However, my signing that I took delivery meant that I was still on the hook for the pieces they had not given me and that I now could not use. He told me I could either take them or he would throw them away, either way I was still paying. > > In the end I still needed the few long panels, and more trim pieces, and they did give me a discount on those, and they did not end up charging me for the crimpers, and they delivered them as soon as they were done. But I was never trying to get compensation, I would have much preferred they just admitted they made a mistake, several mistakes, and hadn't treated me throughout the process like I was a waste of their time. **Comment from Bridger Steel, Inc.:** > We are very sorry you did not get the thoughtful, quality service you deserved. The General Manager at that location has reviewed this matter personally with the team members involved to ensure we do not repeat this type of experience for you or any other customer. Thank you for taking time to share your honest feelings and we will work hard to ensure future experiences are far better. **★★★★★ — traviscaldwell, April 2014** > I have used bridger steel for all my supplies since they opened. They are industry leaders in the steel business as well as easy to deal with. I have since grown my business into other areas of the country and continue to bring bridger steel supplies to those jobs. Their sales staff is knowledgable and conscientious. I would highly recommend them. ## Selected projects - [2018 California Fine Homebuilding House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2018-california-fine-homebuilding-house-pj-vj~5667821) - Location: Nevada City, CA - Photos: 21 - [Wisconsin Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wisconsin-custom-home-pj-vj~5928335) - Location: River Falls, WI - Photos: 5 - [Rustic Barndominium](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-barndominium-pj-vj~5928352) - Location: East Jordan, MI - Photos: 8 - [Custom Alaskan Model Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-alaskan-model-home-pj-vj~5928372) - Location: Kodiak, AK - Photos: 3 - [Paradise Valley Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/paradise-valley-modern-pj-vj~2803945) - Location: Livingston, MT - Photos: 13 - Description: Mountain Modern home in the beautiful Paradise Valley in Livingston, Montana. - [Northeast Side Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/northeast-side-residence-pj-vj~5727125) - Location: Bozeman, MT - Photos: 13 - [Hillside Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hillside-modern-pj-vj~5726999) - Location: Bozeman, MT - Photos: 14 - [Mountain Log Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mountain-log-home-pj-vj~2781108) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - Description: The Dark Bronze, Tru Snap roofing is the perfect compliment to this Mountain Log Home. - [Montana Contemporary Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/montana-contemporary-residence-pj-vj~5667904) - Location: Bozeman, MT - Photos: 4 - [Mountain Mining Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mountain-mining-home-pj-vj~2342773) - Location: Bozeman, MT - Photos: 10 - Description: With design inspiration from an old mining camp, this home uses natural elements such as concrete, weathered wood, and metal to recreate the appearance of an old mining shaft.

Vintage does has more shine and reflectivity than Bonderized and the Rawhide finishes. Compared to our other finishes Bonderized and the Rawhided finishes are more matte but they will still reflect the sun a little. We do have an online store where you can purchase samples to compare the reflectivity. shop.bridgersteel.com Please let us know how else we can help! **Q: is the bridger steel color just weathering or one of the color choices** *(in Photo Questions)* what color is the steel siding A: This is the look after the steel has weathered. Weathering steel patinas overtime by reacting with the environment. The color is truly unique to each project. **Q: Who is the architect or builder** *(in Photo Questions)* Would like to get more details on this home A: Hi there, unfortunately we don't know the architect or builder on this home as we worked directly with the homeowner. Please let us know if we can help with anything else! **Q: Do we have any further details on the barn itself? Dimensions, Doors?** *(in Photo Questions)* I'd like to build a similar barn and curious about the plans for this one, eventual cost/budget, etc. Also the size of the large door on the left. Do you have any information on the barn or its builder? A: Hi there! This barn was built quite a few years ago so we don't have that information on hand anymore. We would be happy though to help with any questions about the metal panel system. Thanks for the question! **Q: Rusted Metal** *(in Photo Questions)* Wanting real (not painted) rusted metal roof- but hoping finished color will be more brown than orange A: Thanks for the comment! With this weathering steel, the finished color will vary depending on the environment. Typically though, it will have more of an orange finish than brown. Please let us know how else we can help! **Q: Which standing seam product is this?** *(in Photo Questions)* We were thinking of going with corrugated siding to prevent "oil canning." Is this the product with the "stripes" that prevents this? Looks better in this picture than in person. A: Yes, this is our 1" Nail Strip panel with striations. These striations help to prevent oil canning which is the waves you often see from the metal expanding and contracting from varying temperatures. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
