Sheet Metal Capabilities
Four ways we support the building envelope
Fabricated In-House
Anatomy of a coping
A parapet coping is a system, not a cap. Scroll and watch it build in the same order our crews put it on the wall.

Wood nailer first
Pressure-treated blocking, anchored to the top of the parapet. Every coping starts with a straight, solid, fastened base. If the blocking is wrong, nothing above it can be right.
Waterproof before metal
The roof membrane and base flashing carry up the wall and over the blocking. The wall is watertight before any metal lands on it. Metal sheds water; the membrane is the seal.
Continuous cleat sets the grip
A continuous galvanized cleat locks to the exterior face. This is what holds the cap against wind uplift: a full-length mechanical grip, not a row of exposed screws.
Concealed splice plates
At every joint, a splice plate bedded in sealant sits under the cap seam. Sections can move with the temperature swing without opening a seam or oil-canning the face.
Cap hooks, snaps, done
The coping cap hooks the cleat, snaps into place, and finishes with hemmed drip edges on both faces. The assembly slopes toward the roof, leaving clean sight lines and no exposed fasteners on the street face.

Before requesting architectural sheet metal work
What information helps start a sheet metal project discussion?
Have the project address, bid date, available drawings and a short scope description ready. Identify the metal components involved, their location on the building, and any specified material or finish. Explain whether you need fabrication, installation or both. Note details that are still being developed so they can be distinguished from approved requirements. Contact MMRM to discuss the work and ask how to share the documents.
What should the roofing and sheet metal scopes make clear?
Identify where the metal work meets the roof, wall or another trade's work. The proposed scope should state who supplies and installs each component, what adjoining work is included, and which dimensions or details still need confirmation. Discuss those boundaries before comparing proposals. A shared project conversation helps clarify responsibilities; the written proposal should identify the work being offered.
