Custom Metal Fabrication Services
Some projects require more than standard parts. They need custom-built components that fit the design and stand up to years of use. At Crocker Architectural, our metal fabrication services make that possible.
Our 13,600-square-foot shop is equipped to fabricate copper, zinc, aluminum, and stainless steel for use in roofing, siding, restoration, and specialty construction. From a copper chimney cap to a decorative spire, our team combines technical skill with architectural knowledge to bring complex designs to reality.
How Metal Fabrication Supports
Our Work
Metal fabrication is at the core of what we do. It gives us the ability to create custom panels, trims, and details that make roofing and siding systems perform as they should. It also allows us to support historic restoration projects by replicating original elements that are no longer available.
Some of the custom pieces we fabricate include: chimney caps and flashings, gutters and downspouts, standing seam and flat lock panels, ornamental spires and finials, and decorative trims and profiles
By fabricating these elements in-house, we give architects and contractors the confidence that every component will fit the project properly and match its design.
Materials We Work With
Our experience with these metals allows us to serve both traditional restoration projects and modern construction. We work with metals that are proven for durability and appearance, each suited to different architectural needs:
Copper
Commonly used for flashing, gutters, domes, and decorative details. Copper ages naturally and develops a patina that enhances its character.
Zinc
Strong and low-maintenance, zinc is popular for modern siding and roofing systems.
Aluminum
Lightweight and versatile, aluminum is used for both functional and decorative applications.
Stainless Steel
Resistant to corrosion and highly durable, stainless steel is often chosen for long-term performance.
A Process Built on Precision
Fabrication begins with reviewing drawings or design concepts and selecting the right material. Our team then cuts, bends, and forms the metal with advanced equipment. Finishing touches are added so each piece is ready for installation on-site.
Because we fabricate in-house, we maintain control over quality and accuracy. This avoids problems in the field and keeps projects on schedule. It also means we can move quickly when custom details are needed, reducing delays for contractors and architects.
Built with Craftsmanship
Every piece that leaves our shop is made with the same level of care. We blend traditional craftsmanship with modern equipment, creating components that fit as they should and hold up over time. Whether for a historic property or a new building, our fabrication services add both strength and detail to the finished project.
Collaboration That
Delivers Results
We know that no two projects are alike. That is why we work closely with architects, contractors, and preservation groups from the start. Our role is to create components that not only perform but also match the vision of the building.
For contractors, we provide the speed and reliability needed to keep projects moving.
For architects, we deliver custom metal details that achieve both form and function.
For preservation groups, we replicate historic details with care and accuracy.
This collaborative approach has made us a trusted partner on both large-scale institutional projects and select residential work.
