Quality architectural metal work begins with artisans who understand how buildings evolved. By knowing the key design elements of 19th century buildings, our artisans can faithfully reproduce old world elements with craftsmanship using our modern metal working equipment.
When you are performing routine maintenance checks, what does the sheet metal on your building look like? Is it sagging? Is it pulling away from the building? Has the wood blocking rotted away? Is it collecting moisture? Are nesting pigeons and their waste damaging it? Like most building maintenance, repairing small problems now will save time and money in the future.
Architectural metal work, designed properly, will last decades.

Photo shows a metal sample made for owner approval. By covering the stone cap this owner will save money by not having to reset these caps to eliminate their water infiltration issues.
Pooling water on this sagging metal cap was infiltrating into the building through the seams on the surface, causing damage.
Our crews used a layer of plywood to provide a solid surface backer and to prevent sagging.
A new layer of waterproof rubber membrane is installed on top of the plywood to prevent any moisture from reaching the interior building components.
This new cap was designed with 1 inch standing seam joints to keep water out of the parapet cap.
Finished cap recovering. The new sheet metal cap is a well designed watertight solution hook fastened with a continuous keeper strip on the front, with color matched fasteners on the back. This metal carries a 20 year manufacturer's guarantee to retain its color.
"...We are very pleased with the result of all your careful planning and workmanship. You and your crew were so good at keeping us informed of progress..."
