        "text": "In the Verde Valley, proper surface coatings and thermal break detailing protect structural steel from dry heat, intense sun exposure, and occasional soil moisture. Unprotected steel expands and contracts under extreme daily temperature swings, while exterior steel can rust if exposed to seasonal monsoon rains. Specifying hot-dip galvanizing, shop-applied rust-inhibitive primers, or durable powder coatings safeguards exterior canopies, shade structures, and architectural steel elements across Cottonwood, Clarkdale, and surrounding valley communities.",
