Capabilities

Roll forming in continuous custom lengths and precision waterjet cutting straight from CAD — for contractors and manufacturers.

How we make it
For roofing contractors

Custom lengths keep your crew moving.

We roll-form gutter and downspout to the exact lengths your job needs. That means no cutting downspouts that run long, no splicing ones that run short, no rivets and screws you didn't budget — and no paid-for offcuts in the dumpster.

Our stock runs heavier, too: .032″+ aluminum where the market sells .024″, and 24-gauge steel where 26 is typical. Small numbers, big difference on a ladder in February.

How it's made

Designed on CAD. Cut by waterjet. Finished by hand.

Every custom project follows the same four steps — so every piece fits perfectly the first time, and the time we save shows up in your price.

Design on CAD

Your sketch, photo, or spec becomes a precise drawing — every measurement confirmed before metal moves.

Cut by waterjet

The same CAD file drives our high-pressure waterjet — zero cutting error, pieces that fit together perfectly.

Soldered by hand

Every seam fully soldered — and riveted where it counts — for a piece built to outlast the building.

Fifty years of copper, still turning heads.

“When people work together and do a great job, I feel a thank-you is in order. Your service was #1, your shop people did a terrific job, and the bottom line — our customer was ecstatic with how the panels matched. Even though this was a small job for your company, everyone treated it like it was important to each one of them. We'll be seeing you in the future.”
— George, contractor customer
