Why a fabrication shop
Why order metal panels and trim from a New Jersey shop?
Because parts made to your numbers, close to your job, arrive ready for your installer, and the people who bent them are a phone call away. Most trouble on metal jobs starts at the edges and joints: a coping cap that comes up short, a corner nobody drew, or trim a shade off the panels. Four habits in our shop keep that from happening.
Made to your dimensions
Panels are cut to the lengths on your cut list. Coping, flashing and trim are bent to the widths and angles your installer measured, so there is less cutting and patching at the job.
Shop drawings before we cut
Architectural and commercial orders get shop drawings that show the panel layout, the joints and every trim profile. Residential orders get a profile sketch and a written color confirmation. Nothing is formed until it is approved.
Trim from the panel coil
Wherever the order allows, corners, closures and flashing are bent from the same coil as the panels. Color and gloss stay consistent across the wall instead of shifting between batches from different suppliers.
Labelled and ready to go
Every piece is checked against the approved drawing, labelled to match your cut list and bundled by elevation or area. The order is delivered to your job in New Jersey or picked up at our shop.
What we make
What do we fabricate?
Four product groups, all made to order in our shop: metal wall panels and ACM, custom sheet metal, metal roofing panels and trim, and commercial roof panels and edge metal. We make parts for new buildings, additions, re-roofing and recladding.
Metal wall panels and ACM
Our AMP line of concealed-fastener, ribbed and corrugated wall profiles, cut to length, plus aluminum composite panels routed and folded into trays for storefronts, fascias, canopies and column covers.
See metal wall panels, aluminum composite panels and corrugated wall panels.
Custom sheet metal
Parapet coping, step and counter flashing, liners for built-in box gutters, chimney caps, fascia cladding and parts made from your drawings. This is the metal that keeps water out of walls and roof edges.
See custom sheet metal, metal coping, metal flashing and box gutters.
Metal roofing panels and trim
Standing seam roof panels cut to length in coated steel or aluminum, with matching eave, rake, ridge and valley trim for your roofer. Copper and zinc sheet metal is available on request; ask us.
See metal roofing panels, standing seam roof panels and copper and zinc sheet metal.
Commercial roof panels and edge metal
Standing seam panels, parapet coping, edge metal and counterflashing for roofing contractors working on offices, retail buildings, warehouses and other commercial property.
See commercial metal roof panels for profiles and ordering.
Who we work for
Who do we make metal parts for?
Contractors and builders first, and homeowners who have their own installer. Everyone gets the same written quote, the same drawings or color confirmation, and the same labelled order.
Contractors, builders and architects
Roofers, siding and wall panel installers, general contractors, architects and property managers send us plans, specs or cut lists. We quote the fabricated metal in writing, prepare shop drawings for approval on architectural and commercial orders, and have the parts ready for delivery or pickup. Start with our page for contractors and builders, send plans for a quote or request submittals.
Homeowners with their own installer
Re-roofing with standing seam, adding a metal accent wall, or replacing a leaking coping or box gutter liner? Ask your installer for the measurements, then request a quote. We make the parts; your contractor puts them on the house.
What we do not do
We do not install anything, and we do not measure on site. Field dimensions are your installer’s responsibility, because the installer is the one who sees the real building. We also do not sell asphalt shingles, siding, windows or seamless gutters.

Made for New Jersey buildings
What does New Jersey weather ask of the metal?
Three things come up again and again: snow and ice in winter, salt air near the shore, and older buildings with parapets and built-in gutters. They shape which metal, finish and trim profiles you order, so settle them before we cut.
Snow loads and ice dams
New Jersey does not set one statewide snow value. The Department of Community Affairs, in Bulletin 19-1, tells designers to pull ground snow loads for the exact address from ASCE 7-based hazard tools. Where a tool returns a case-study result, the bulletin allows fallback values, such as 35 pounds per square foot in Hunterdon and Morris counties and 30 in Somerset. Panel gauge follows the design values on your drawings, so send the structural notes with your plans.
Ice dams form when heat from the house melts snow higher on the roof and the water refreezes at the colder edge, as the University of Minnesota Extension explains. State code requires an ice barrier at the eaves only in Sussex County, according to DCA Bulletin 07-3; elsewhere it is standard good practice for the roofer. Tell us how your roofer details the eaves and valleys and where snow guards will go, and we form the trim to suit. Our guide to ice dams and metal roofs goes deeper.
Salt air near the shore
Coated steel and salt spray do not get along, and finish warranties say so. Metal Sales, for example, does not apply its Galvalume panel warranty within 1,500 feet of salt water. Industry guidance from Sheffield Metals lists shorter exclusion distances along large bays and marsh shorelines. For a job near the ocean, Raritan Bay or the back bays, check the warranty terms for the address before you choose a metal, and ask us to quote aluminum as well. Our guide to metal roofing near the shore covers the choice in detail.
Older buildings, parapets and box gutters
Many older commercial blocks and homes in New Jersey have parapet walls and gutters built into the roof edge. When they leak, the usual fix is new metal coping or a new metal liner for the box gutter, made to the dimensions your contractor takes of the old structure.
If the building sits in a designated historic district, the owner should talk to the town first. New Jersey’s Municipal Land Use Law lets municipalities create historic preservation commissions, and most local ordinances send major exterior changes in those districts through a review, according to the New Jersey Historic Trust.

Questions
Questions New Jersey contractors and owners ask us
Do you install the metal you fabricate?
No. We are a fabrication shop only. We make wall panels, roof panels, coping, flashing, trim and box gutter liners to your dimensions or plans, and your contractor or installer puts them on the building.
Who takes the measurements for an order?
Your installer or contractor. We work from the dimensions, cut list or plans you send, plus our shop drawings on architectural and commercial orders. We do not measure on site, so field dimensions are the installer’s responsibility.
Do you sell to homeowners or only to contractors?
Both. We make parts for contractors and builders first, and homeowners can order panels, trim, coping and flashing for their own installer. Ask your installer for the measurements, then request a quote.
Do you deliver, or can I pick up my order?
Either. We deliver to jobs in New Jersey, or you can pick up at our shop during business hours. Ask about delivery to your job when you request a quote.
Does a metal re-roof need a permit in New Jersey?
That is for your installer and the property owner to settle. Under the state’s Uniform Construction Code, re-roofing a detached one- or two-family home generally needs no construction permit, while attached homes and commercial buildings generally do. The installer should confirm with the local construction office, and historic-district approvals can still apply.
Which counties do you deliver to?
Middlesex, Somerset, Monmouth, Union, Mercer, Morris, Essex and Hunterdon. For a job elsewhere in New Jersey, ask about delivery to your job.
What warranty comes with the metal?
The paint finish carries the coil or panel manufacturer’s warranty, and its terms vary by manufacturer, finish and color. We help you get the finish warranty documents for the coil used. Installation warranties come from your installer, and the terms on your quote or invoice apply to the parts we make.
How long does an order take?
It depends on the size of the order, approvals and the metal and color you choose, so ask about current lead times when you request a quote. We reply with a quote or questions.
Do you sell shingles, siding or seamless gutters?
No. We work only in metal: wall panels, ACM, custom sheet metal, box gutter liners, and metal roofing panels and trim. We do not sell seamless gutters, gutter guards, siding, windows or shingle roofs.
