Meet Our People

Ryan McTee

(the boss)

Ryan McTee (the boss)Ryan was an 18 year old kid when he started loading bundles of shingles for $.50 apiece. Now his days are spent listening to customers and co-workers tell battle stories of their weekends. A self-proclaimed good guy, he enjoys time with Roz, Matt, and Darby; – his other family either working around the house, playing on the lake, or his real passion – driving aimlessly around the mountains in his Jeep.

Kurt Peterson

(second in command)

Kurt Peterson (second in command)Our resident workaholic, Kurt has been our go-to guy for the past 13 years. From loading shingles to loading trucks to closing sales, he pretty much does it all. When he's not working his butt off for the Company, he enjoys camping in the Sierra Nevada Mountains with his wife Cindy and son Luke.

Cary Crawford

(inside sales)

Cary Crawford  (inside sales)Since Cary started with us back in 1998, she has become our resident special order-err. She enjoys gardening, and that weed free garden probably explains her relentless work ethic in tracking down those hard to find special order items. When she's not at work, or at home in the garden, you can probably find her on a Tahoe beach with her husband, son, and dog Sam.

Lianne Inwood

(inside sales)

Lianne Inwood (inside sales)Lianne joined us in 2006 and is probably one of the most up-beat people your likely to come-across. She's dedicated to making sure you leave happy and is always working to better the appearance of our store. Although she'd rather be some where on a beach, she's pretty happy here in our corner of Nevada, with her husband Cord and son Collin.

Larry Faught

(outside sales)

Larry FaughtWith a passion for wood-working and construction in general, Larry is a wealth of knowledge. You've got a question; chances are he's got several right answers for you. He handles mostly hardware related products which matches his construction background perfectly. Some-day he hopes to retire to Georgia with his wife Christi.

Vicki Cornett

(bookkeeper)

Vicki CornettWhat's to say about the one who writes our checks??? She's kept our company's financials in line for the past eight years, and also does tax returns on the side. When she's not immersed in the numbers, she enjoys sitting down with a good book while hanging out with her dogs.

Ray Hunold

(tool fixer-upper)

Ray HunoldTruly one who marches to his own beat, Ray refuses to wear a watch or commit to pretty much anything (even though he's been with us for over five years). But don't let those traits fool you. He has an extensive background as a Honda Factory Works motorcycle mechanic, and we have yet found anything he can't fix. He's also one hell of funny guy to boot, besides being mechanically gifted.

(the owners)

The Owners

(This picture is in 1986) These were the guys who started the company over a bottle of wine in 1993. Long time friends and business partners, their history goes back to the 1960's when Rudy and Gary worked together as L.A. City Firemen, and they vacationed at Lake Topaz, California with Dick back in the days when he was a cabinet-maker. They have had several businesses together over the past 25 years, and all have been very successful.

Frequently Asked Questions and Roofing Facts

"Do you guys sell to homeowners or just contractors?"

We’re in business to make money so of course we sell to homeowners. (Hey we’re homeowners just like you.) We take a lot of pride in helping folks who have the guts to tackle such a large and often intimidating job as roofing their own home.

"Your name says Silver State Roofing Materials, what’s up with all the other stuff?"

When we started back in ‘93 we were focused on roofing. Times change and so do we. As our community grew, we saw that there was a lack of specialty building supplies. Sure, you could drive to the local lumberyard and pickup a sack of nails, but if you needed pretty much anything out of the ordinary; i.e. a magnetic nail picker-upper you were probably in for a long drive out of town.

"Do you guys install roofing?"

No we do not, but if you take a minute and fill out the contractor referral form we will be happy to find a contractor who will fit your application.

"Do you have roofing materials actually in stock?"

I can tell you this: we have a two acre yard that is full of composition roofing material. Check out the picture. We try our best to keep a reasonable amount of the most popular roofing materials in stock. This means that chances are very good we will have the product you want in the quantity you need available for immediate delivery. Since metal roofing is custom ordered for your specific application, it is special ordered and normally takes 1 – 2 weeks. If in doubt, your best bet is to contact us either via phone (775) 782-ROOF, or .

"Do you do takeoffs on plans?"

Yes we do, one of our sales reps will be able to help you figure how much roofing you will need.

"How much notice is needed for a delivery?"

Quite often we can do it the same day as ordered. Other times it is 1-2 days. As long as we have what you want in stock, delivery normally isn’t a problem.
