Architectural Sheet Metal in Dana Point

Common architectural sheet metal materials include painted steel, aluminum, copper, zinc and lead-coated copper. Aluminum is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, making it a popular choice near the coast. Copper and zinc develop a natural patina over time and are often chosen for high-end residential or historic work where appearance matters as much as function.

Material choice depends on the application, the budget, and whether the metal will be visible from the ground. We match existing metal details whenever possible so repairs blend in.

We measure the roof in person, then fabricate pieces to length with the right profile and hem. On site, each piece is fitted, fastened with the correct clips and screws, and joined with locked seams or expansion joints where needed. Sealant is used as a backup, not as the primary waterproofing.

For parapet walls and flat roofs, we pay special attention to coping caps, counterflashing and scupper boxes because those are the details that separate a roof that lasts from one that leaks every rainy season.

Solar penetrations on any roof type need proper sheet metal work around the mounts. On tile roofs, this means tile hooks and base flashing that integrate with the underlayment. On shingle roofs, it means raised pipe boots and flashing kits. On metal roofs, it means custom flashing at any penetration that cannot use a seam clamp.

Because we handle both roofing and solar, our sheet metal details are planned around the solar layout from the start rather than patched in afterward.

Cost depends on the metal type, the complexity of the detail, how much fabrication is needed, and access to the roof. A simple aluminum drip edge replacement is very different from a full copper chimney cricket or a custom parapet coping on a multi-story commercial building.

We inspect the details in person and provide a scope that specifies material, gauge, finish and installation method so there is no ambiguity about what is being installed.
