Which commercial roof parts do we fabricate?
Roof panels, the metal at every roof edge, and the flashing and gutters in between. Ordering them from one shop keeps the finish, color and profiles consistent across the roof, while your roofing crew does the field work.
Standing seam roof panels
Snap-lock and mechanical lock panels in Galvalume steel, aluminum, copper or zinc, with seam heights of 1, 1.5, 1.75 or 2 inches, cut to the lengths on your cut list.
Coping and ES-1 edge metal
Parapet metal coping, ES-1 edge metal and gravel stop, and eave and rake edges for low-slope and steep roofs.
Exposed-fastener roof panels
AMP PBR panels and the AMP 7.2 Rib, both with 36-inch coverage for roofs and walls, plus AG panels for barns and pole buildings.
Flashing, trim and gutters
Counter, curb, headwall and valley flashing, and box gutter liners with end caps, outlets and scuppers.
The same shop makes the walls below the roof: metal wall panels and routed aluminum composite panels, in matching or contrasting finishes.
What slope can a commercial standing seam panel handle?
Our 1.5-inch mechanical lock panel typically works down to a 1/2:12 slope over solid deck, and our 1.75-inch snap-lock typically needs 3:12. For low slopes, long runs and snowy sites, mechanical lock is usually the better fit.
Tell us the roof slope on the order. If it is below what the panel is rated for, we say so before anything is fabricated, and your designer can choose another profile or roof system. The installation instructions for the panel govern.
What goes on a commercial roof panel order?
| Item | What we fabricate |
|---|---|
| Seam type | 1.75-inch snap-lock, or 1.5-inch mechanical lock with a 90 or 180 degree seam |
| Seam height | 1, 1.5, 1.75 or 2 inches |
| Panel width | 12 to 18 inches for snap-lock; 12 to 20 inches for mechanical lock |
| Galvalume steel | 26, 24 or 22 gauge for snap-lock; 26 or 24 gauge for mechanical lock |
| Aluminum | .032 or .040 inch for snap-lock; .032 inch for mechanical lock |
| Copper and zinc | 16 oz copper, or 0.7 or 0.8 mm zinc, in mechanical lock |
| Finish | PVDF (Kynar 500 type) or SMP on the painted metals |
| Lengths and quantities | From your cut list or the approved shop drawings; ask about delivery for very long panels |
| Edge metal and trim | Coping, ES-1 edge metal, gravel stop, eave, rake and counter-flashing |
| Shop drawings | For approval, where the job calls for them |
PVDF is the usual pick where color retention matters most, such as a roof seen from the street; SMP is the more economical finish. We fabricate from coil by Englert, Fabral, ATAS, UCP and SAF, and the finish warranty comes from the coil maker.
Why order coping and edge metal with the roof panels?
Because the edges are where wind and water attack a commercial roof, and parts from one shop fit together. Coping, edge metal and panels made to one set of shop drawings match in finish and fit together at the transitions.
When the specification calls for ES-1 edge metal or a gravel stop, we form it to the profile on the drawings. Parapets get metal coping with cleats and splice plates, and older buildings with built-in gutters behind the parapet get box gutter liners made to the roofer’s dimensions.
Snow and wind design values in New Jersey come from the site address rather than one statewide number, and snow guards keep sliding snow off entrances and lower roofs; see snow guards for metal roofs.
Can new panels go over an existing commercial roof?
Often, yes, and the design belongs to the engineer and the roofing contractor. A retrofit sets a new metal roof over an old membrane, built-up or metal roof, usually on new sub-framing that creates the slope and carries the loads.
The engineer checks the structure and attachment, and the installer surveys the old roof for wet insulation before covering it. Our part is the metal: once the retrofit drawings show the panel runs, edges and transitions, we fabricate the panels, edge metal and trim to those drawings and to the installer’s field dimensions, taken after the sub-framing is up.
Commercial re-roofing in New Jersey generally needs a construction permit, which the owner and the installing contractor obtain.
What about coastal buildings and rooftop solar?
Both are best planned before the panels are ordered. Near salt water, steel warranties can exclude the site, so aluminum is the common alternative; our guide to metal roofing near the Jersey Shore explains the distances.
For rooftop solar, seam clamps attach racking to standing seams without drilling through the panels. Our guide to solar on standing seam roofs covers the planning.

No. We are a fabrication shop. We make the roof panels, coping, edge metal and trim to your plans or approved shop drawings, and your roofing contractor installs them. Field dimensions are the installer’s responsibility.
What slope does a commercial standing seam panel need?
Our 1.5-inch mechanical lock typically works down to 1/2:12 over solid deck, and our 1.75-inch snap-lock typically needs 3:12. Tell us the slope on the order; the panel’s installation instructions govern.
Do you make ES-1 edge metal and gravel stop?
Yes. We form ES-1 edge metal, gravel stop, coping and eave and rake trim to the profiles on your drawings, in a finish to match the roof panels.
Can you make panels for a retrofit over an existing roof?
Yes. We fabricate the panels and trim to the retrofit drawings and to the field dimensions your installer takes after the sub-framing is up. The engineer checks the structure and attachment.
How fast can you quote and fabricate a commercial order?
We send a written quote within 24-48 hours of receiving plans or a cut list. Standing seam panels, coping and trim are typically ready in 1-2 days, depending on color and gauge; ACM panels take 2-8 weeks.
