Custom metal fabrication covers the flashing, trim, and specialty metal pieces that protect your roof and give it a clean, finished look—especially around chimneys, walls, valleys, edges, and gutters. When off-the-shelf parts don’t fit, custom fabrication ensures everything is built to the exact measurements of your home or building.
For fabrication, we work with a custom sheet metal fabricator that specializes in roofing components and custom bends.
What We Fabricate
We can have the exact pieces fabricated for roofing and exterior details, including:
- Step flashing for roof-to-wall transitions
- Apron flashing and transition flashing
- Counter flashing solutions for masonry and siding intersections
- Valley metal for high-flow areas
- Drip edge and perimeter edge metal
- Rake / gable trim and edge finishing pieces
- Fascia and soffit trim components and wraps
- Custom bends for unusual angles, dormers, and complex intersections
- Metal pans for specialty waterproofing transitions
- Chimney crickets and diverters to move water around chimneys
- Chimney caps and custom protective tops
- Copper gutters and high-end gutter components (when needed)
- & More
Why Custom Metal Matters
Custom metal work isn’t just cosmetic—it’s a major part of long-term roof performance. Properly fabricated and installed metal helps:
- Prevent leaks at the most vulnerable points of the roof
- Control water flow and protect roof edges from rot
- Create cleaner lines and tighter seams for a finished look
- Solve problems on older homes or complex rooflines where “standard” parts don’t fit
In most cases, yes. We’ll help choose the right gauge, finish, and profile so the metal integrates cleanly with the roof and exterior.
No. Custom flashing and trim can be useful on asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and many roof-to-wall or exterior transitions.
