FIGHT BACK AGAINST
VOLCANIC CORROSION
It’s called “edge creep,” and until someone invents a saw that can
magically seal cuts in metal roofing as you make them, it’s a problem
you can’t afford to ignore. . . especially when the solution costs less
than a pizza.
Now available at HPM, “Edge Seal” is a proprietary clear, air-dried
sealant that protects uncoated metal from corrosion. It was developed
by Dura Coat Products, Inc.—the manufacturer providing the 35-year
limited warranty on the coating for HPM’s custom metal roofing—and
it is applied quickly and easily using a small roller with a short-nap
cover. Edge Seal sells for $10/pint along with any roofing order or
$12/pint off the shelf; one pint is sufficient for standard house projects
while more is needed for larger homes or commercial structures. Over
the past several years, HPM worked with Dura Coat and Steelscape—
the manufacturer of our metal roof coil—to perfect the product. Local
testing results clearly demonstrate that Edge Seal significantly retards
the effects of sulfur dioxide. . . a compound emitted by the volcano
that makes air here even more corrosive.
Dura Coat recommends roofing installers apply Edge Seal to all cut
edges in the field. Home and business owners are encouraged to
follow up every year with regular cleaning of the entire roof system
and re-application of the sealant on its edges.
With proper treatment, metal roofing can last up to 50 years. Edge
Seal is your best bet for maximizing the life of your roof. . . until that
magical saw gets invented.

Meet the Owner: Beau Nobmann
It’s amazing what some guys can accomplish
with a broom and a trash can. 12 years
ago, Beau Nobmann wielded both to make
a living for himself at a California lumber
yard; today he’s General Manager at HPM
in the Campbell Industrial Park. Along that
career path, Beau worked every job in
the yard then went on to become skilled
at general, contractor and outside sales
positions, which in turn led to his time as
manager of the sales team and, eventually,
general manager of the company.
Beau’s been putting the skills he acquired
in California to work at HPM for just two
months; already he’s on track to make good
use of some new resources — the aloha spirit
he finds in the islands and the team spirit
he finds among his coworkers. His stated
goal is “to make sure our customers have a
positive and memorable experience when
they are serviced by our HPM team,” and
Beau appreciates the ability he has as part
of a locally owned and operated company
that prides itself in being “quick and nimble
in making decisions” to support that goal.
If you want to make thorough use of Beau’s
talents, ask him anything about the lumber
business. . . in Spanish. He’s a fluent speaker
and you can learn from his experience while
brushing up on your language skills.
On the homefront, Beau and his wife Heidi
enjoy the blessings that come from raising
their sons Oshyn (9), Cruz (6), Tyce (3) and
Kainoa (1). It’s a lifestyle that has them very
involved in sports and the Boy Scouts of
America and leaves Beau with this to say
on the subject of significant furry others: “No
pets. . . we have plenty of messes to pick up
with four boys in the house.”
