Portable Sheet Metal Brakes
Portable Sheet Metal Brakes
Flashing, drip edge, and trim work best when the metal is shaped for the roof in front of us, not pulled from a rack of fixed profiles. Our portable sheet metal brakes bend those pieces on site, in your driveway or on the roof itself, so every angle, valley, and edge gets a piece cut to that exact run.
Why On-Site Bending Matters
- Exact Fit — Custom bends match the actual pitch, corner, and reveal instead of forcing a stock shape into place.
- Fewer Seams and Patches — Longer, purpose-formed pieces mean less piecing-together at valleys and penetrations.
- Faster Turnaround — No waiting on a fabricated order; the metal is formed while the crew is already there.
Paired With Other On-Site Metal Work
- Electric Shears & Nibblers — Clean, burr-free cuts that keep panel edges and coatings intact before bending.
- Mechanical & Hand Seamers — Standing seam panels locked to spec once the flashing is formed and set.
- Tin Snips & Hand Seamers — Hand-fit detail work at chimneys and sidewalls where a brake-formed piece needs a final trim.
