FAQs

C&G METAL FABRICATION INC

  • What types of sheet metal do you work with?

    Our fabrication and installation services utilize a range of materials including aluminum, galvanized steel, stainless steel, copper, and zinc. The selection is based on the specific requirements of each project, taking into account factors such as durability, aesthetic appeal, and budget constraints.
  • Do you custom‑fabricate metal pieces on-site?

    We offer custom fabrication services both in our workshop and on-site. Our capabilities include creating flashing, drip edges, coping, gutters, downspouts, chimney caps, and specialized architectural elements to meet your specific needs.
  • What roofing systems do you specialize in?

    Our expertise covers a wide range of metal roofing systems. We install and maintain standing seam metal roofs, flat-seam panels, metal shingles, and custom sheet-metal roofing solutions for both residential and commercial applications.
  • How long does a metal roof typically last?

    The lifespan of a metal roof varies depending on the material used. Generally, a properly installed metal roof can last between 40 to 70 years. High-end materials like copper and zinc can exceed 100 years with appropriate maintenance.
  • Is metal roofing energy‑efficient?

    Metal roofing is indeed energy-efficient. Its reflective properties help reduce solar heat absorption, which can lead to lower cooling costs. Many of our metal roofing systems can be classified as cool roofing when combined with reflective coatings or lighter color finishes.
  • Can you match existing metal colors or finishes?

    We provide color and finish matching services for most metal types. This is achieved through the use of manufacturer color charts, custom coating applications, and materials that are compatible with existing patinas.
  • Do you provide shop drawings or CAD files?

    For more complex or custom projects, we supply detailed shop drawings, precise measurements, and comprehensive fabrication plans. This ensures accuracy and facilitates smooth coordination with architects or contractors involved in the project.
  • What is the typical turnaround time for custom sheet‑metal fabrication?

    Our turnaround times vary based on the complexity of the project. Standard items are typically completed within 1 to 3 business days. More intricate or large-scale fabrications may require 5 to 10 days, depending on material availability and the scope of the project.
  • Do you handle repairs and maintenance for existing metal roofs?

    We offer comprehensive repair and maintenance services for existing metal roofs. This includes addressing issues such as leaks, loose panels, failing seams, damaged flashing, and corrosion problems. Additionally, we provide preventative maintenance programs to extend the life of your metal roof.
  • Are metal roofs noisy during rain or storms?

    When installed with proper underlayment and insulation, metal roofs are not significantly louder than traditional roofing materials. In fact, they can often be quieter due to the solid decking used beneath the metal panels.
