Custom Metalwork Designed for Your Project

Custom sheet metalwork is created for a particular property, application, or design. Unlike mass-produced components, custom fabrication allows the dimensions, materials, finishes, and details to be tailored to the project.

Homeowners frequently choose custom metalwork when remodeling a kitchen, improving a fireplace, updating exterior architectural features, or adding distinctive details to a custom home. Architects, designers, builders, and contractors may also require precisely fabricated components that complement a larger construction or renovation project.

Our custom sheet metal capabilities include:

  • Chimney caps and shrouds

  • Copper chimney details

  • Kitchen hoods

  • Metal backsplashes

  • Custom countertops

  • Fireplace surrounds

  • Furniture and cabinetry faces

  • Hammered copper features

  • Flashing and trim

  • Skylight-related metalwork

  • Ventilation components

  • Exterior drainage components

  • Architectural wall panels

  • Decorative and specialty metalwork

Our Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication Process

Custom fabrication is a collaborative process. We work with you to understand the project, evaluate the installation environment, and determine an appropriate fabrication approach.

1. Project Consultation

We begin by discussing your goals, design ideas, dimensions, preferred materials, finish expectations, and intended use. Depending on the project, we may schedule a site visit to assess the surrounding architecture and installation requirements.

2. Measurements and Design Planning

Accurate measurements are essential to a properly fitted custom component. We review the available project specifications and help determine appropriate materials, fabrication details, measurements, and installation requirements within the scope of our work.

If you are working with an architect, designer, builder, or contractor, we can coordinate around the relevant plans and project requirements.

3. Estimate and Project Approval

Once the scope is defined, we provide an estimate and explain the proposed fabrication process. We also discuss anticipated scheduling, material availability, and installation considerations before the project moves forward.

4. Custom Fabrication

Our team fabricates the component according to the approved measurements and specifications. We focus on accurate sizing, clean detailing, functional performance, durability, and an appearance that complements the surrounding property.

5. Installation and Final Review

When installation is included, our team fits and secures the completed component with attention to alignment, function, and finish. We then review the completed work with you and answer any final questions.

What Does Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication Cost?

The cost of custom sheet metalwork depends on the design, material, dimensions, fabrication complexity, finish, and installation requirements. Because each component is made for a particular project, an evaluation is necessary to provide accurate pricing.

Factors that may affect the cost include:

  • Material type and thickness

  • Size of the fabricated component

  • Design and fabrication complexity

  • Custom finish requirements

  • Detailed bends, seams, or decorative features

  • Installation accessibility

  • Site measurements or templates

  • Material availability

  • Residential or commercial project requirements

  • On-site installation needs

Projects involving specialty materials, complex shapes, detailed finish work, or difficult installation locations may require additional planning and fabrication time. We will explain the recommended approach and provide an estimate based on the specific requirements of your project.

How Long Does Custom Fabrication Take?

Project timelines vary based on the size and complexity of the component, material availability, design details, installation requirements, and the current production schedule. A smaller component with a straightforward design may be completed relatively quickly. Larger architectural features, specialty finishes, or projects requiring detailed measurements and installation may take longer.

Before fabrication begins, we will discuss the anticipated schedule and let you know about any material or installation factors that could affect timing.

Metals We Work With

Material selection affects the appearance, performance, maintenance, and long-term character of custom metalwork.

Depending on the project, our fabrication materials may include:

  • Copper

  • Stainless steel

  • Galvanized steel

  • Aluminum

  • Architectural zinc products

ARCHITECTURAL ZINC PRODUCTS may be considered for wall panels, roof details, flashing, drainage components, and other exterior applications where their appearance and weathering characteristics suit the project.

COPPER is often selected for architectural details, chimney caps, shrouds, hoods, backsplashes, and other decorative features. Its appearance naturally changes over time as the surface develops a patina.

STAINLESS STEEL provides a clean, contemporary appearance and is frequently considered for kitchens, backsplashes, countertops, and functional interior components.

GALVANIZED STEEL AND ALUMINUM may be appropriate for exterior, drainage, ventilation, flashing, and other functional applications, depending on the project requirements.

Material recommendations vary based on the location, weather exposure, appearance goals, intended use, and installation conditions.
