Traditional Metal Roofing

We believe a building is only as good as the roof that’s on it.  For that reason, FHTC owns its own roll forming equipment for standing seam sheet metal roofing.  This allows us to purchase rolls of material and form it to fit the client’s buildings on the job site, whether the project is new construction or a restoration.  We work with Galvanized steel, Terne II, Copper, or pre-painted Galvalume metals.  We can form the necessary trim on site with our portable brake, and when necessary we can hand seam difficult jobs.  Where neccessary we solder the flashing joints on Copper, Terne, and Galvanized roofs and we install very traditional half round gutters and downspout systems.  

Any notable structural investment should be protected by a lightning suppression system.  We design such systems and install them using quality copper, brass, and stainless steel conductors.

Our work specifically includes:

  • Removal of existing roofing;
  • Preparation for and installation of roofing materials;
  • Cleaning, repairing, and painting existing roofs;
  • Installation of clips, fasteners, flashing, gutters, and downspouts
