“I knew you would help me.”

That’s what a longtime customer told Nancy Wolf when he recently called Spahn & Rose in Dyersville looking for a window part—and was delighted to discover Nancy was still there.

Nancy originally joined Spahn & Rose temporarily to help with inventory. Thirty-one years later, the inside sales representative has built lasting friendships with customers and co-workers while watching Spahn & Rose grow far beyond the Tri-State Area.

“He was so happy to hear that I was still here,” Nancy says. “That makes you feel good!”

🏠 From window trim and lap siding to board-and-batten accents, LP Building Solutions products are finding their way onto new homes and remodeling projects throughout the Midwest.

Tanner Bronkema, General Manager of Spahn & Rose in Stockton, Illinois, says contractors have become increasingly comfortable working with LP products during the decade his location has sold them.

“Once they start using it, they love it,” Tanner says.

Tanner has firsthand experience, too. He used LP SmartSide trim around the windows and garage door of his own home.

Now, newer options such as Brushed Smooth siding and trim are giving contractors additional ways to create distinctive exteriors while delivering the durability customers expect.

Today’s garage might be a place to park, a workshop, a home gym or the neighborhood hangout—and the right garage door needs to work with all of it.

The homes pictured here are two projects for which the Spahn & Rose Reinbeck location supplied Christie garage doors.

Spahn & Rose Reinbeck General Manager Dan Mohlis says customers are looking at everything from insulation and natural light to woodgrain finishes and curb appeal when choosing Christie Door products.

“We tend to sell Christie’s Haas brand as it offers a wide offering of styles and colors, including a wide selection of bi-directional woodgrain colors for the authentic wood look,” Dan says.

And his recommendation comes with firsthand experience: Dan has a Christie’s Haas garage door at his own home, installed by Christie Door. His review? “Excellent service. They stand behind their products and workmanship.”

See what Dan recommends homeowners should know and contractors consider when helping customers choose the right garage door:

Beautiful cabinetry starts with choices that fit the home—and the people who live there.

The homes featured here are among the projects Spahn & Rose has supplied with Dura Supreme cabinetry, showcasing the range of looks the line can bring to a space. It’s a versatility Spahn & Rose Cabinet Designer Ellie Ressler knows professionally and personally.

“I designed an office and entertainment center in my basement using Dura Supreme cabinetry. The design features inset doors in knotty alder with a driftwood finish. It has created a wonderful home office space for me,” Ellie says.

From the homes Spahn & Rose helps supply to the space Ellie created for herself, Dura Supreme offers plenty of possibilities for cabinetry designed around how people live.

Normally our forklift is moving units of lumber and building materials...

Today, it was unloading Colorado peaches. 🍑

We were happy to assist Our Redeemer Lutheran Church-Dubuque,IA in unloading their truckload of peaches for the annual youth group fundraiser.

These peaches are highly anticipated every year, and rumor has it that they may have a few extra boxes available for sale after the pre-orders are picked up (Saturday afternoon)!
