Architectural Sheet Metal Project Specialties 

At Alpha Metal Systems, we specialize in turning essential building components into standout design features.

Coping

Coping is the metal cap installed along the top of a parapet or freestanding wall to protect against water infiltration and weather damage. It serves a dual purpose, shielding vulnerable areas from moisture while providing a clean, finished look to the structure.

Metal Fascia

Metal fascia provides a clean, modern edge that finishes a roofline or structure with durability and precision. Designed to protect exposed edges while elevating architectural detail, metal fascia resists rot, warping, and weathering for a long-lasting, low-maintenance finish.

Ornamental Work

Ornamental sheet metal involves the fabrication of decorative architectural features that enhance a building’s exterior design. This includes elements like cornices, finials, spires, and custom trim details, all crafted from durable metals and tailored to match your property’s style.

Chimney Caps and Shrouds

Chimney caps and shrouds provide essential protection while adding a clean, finished look to your roofline. Custom-fabricated from durable metal, they help prevent water intrusion, improve ventilation, and protect chimneys from debris, animals, and weather exposure while complementing the overall architecture of the home.

Wall Cladding

Wall cladding is the application of sheet metal panels to the exterior walls of a building to protect the structure and enhance its appearance. This system acts as a durable outer skin, shielding the framework from moisture, wind, and UV exposure while adding a clean, modern finish.

Benefits of Architectural Sheet Metal Work

Detailed Estimate, Quality Work, Excellent workers, Professionalism!!! Thank You!!!

Larry Friedman

We have used this company a number of times over the years for gutter issues. They’ve done everything from a complete installation for us to some small repair jobs. We recently had them for their gutter cleaning service. After they were done I used my drone to inspect the gutters and they were completely clean. They are the go-to company for us. They’ve always been responsive, timely, and professional. No hesitation about recommending them.

Peter Toennies

Excellent company. The quality of their work is superb. The entire process from the first meeting to discuss the job, the quote, the coordination of the date and the actual installation were all flawless.

I am the Director of Operations for a Roofing and Solar Company. I have used AquaTech’s services for the last ten years. It does not matter whether it is a small garage or a multimillion-dollar project. They have always done exceptional work. I use them on all gutter, aluminum patio, and metal roof projects my company is involved with. Thank you, Andrew and your crews.
