Birmingham Roofing and Sheet Metal – Proudly Serving the Birmingham Region with Over a Century of Roofing Experience
Birmingham Roofing & Sheet Metal has been a mainstay in the Birmingham region since 1920 – that means our customers benefit from over 100 years of roofing expertise. We are a closely held company, with only a few owners since our inception. We’re proud to service the Birmingham region with our diverse set of skills and specialties.
Our services cover everything from repairs and replacements to new construction and architectural metalwork. Not only do we specialize in the production of metalwork like coping, gutters, and downspouts, but we also produce awnings and chimney caps. We are committed to providing you with roofing solutions that meet your needs and exceed your expectations.
When it comes to protecting your business from weather and wear, you can’t cut corners. Poor metalwork can expose your storefronts to expensive repairs. That’s why our metalwork is certified by Intertek Services for ES-1 (edge metal & copings) and GT-1 (gutters) ratings.
What is Intertek? And why should these certifications matter to you?
Intertek is a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide. They offer a wide range of services, including testing, inspection, certification, auditing, and consulting, to ensure the quality, safety, and sustainability of various products, processes, and systems.
Earning an Intertek certification isn’t easy. Their standards are exacting. And for good reason.
ES-1 and GT-1 certifications for metalwork ensure the following:
Products meet strict wind uplift ratings
Products meet strict quality standards related to materials, construction, installation, and performance
Products are durable, weather-resistant, and safe
Consumers and building owners are receiving metalwork that meets stringent safety and quality requirements.
Birmingham Roofing and Sheet Metal is proud to secure these certifications and we are eager for the chance to put our training to work for you. The education, training, and expense required to earn and retain this accreditation ensures we can continue to provide our customers with the highest quality work possible, and our employees with valuable experience and professional development opportunities.
Metal technicians employed by Birmingham Roofing and Sheet Metal are taught by our local union using SMACNA standards. Our employees possess general construction knowledge in addition to roofing knowledge and expertise.
The importance of adherence to SMACNA standards cannot be understated. Here’s why…
The Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors' National Association (SMACNA) establishes standards and guidelines for the design, construction, installation, and maintenance of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems, architectural sheet metal, and industrial sheet metal work.
In our line of work, SMACNA standards are critical for several reasons:
Quality Assurance: SMACNA standards ensure that metalwork is designed and constructed to meet rigorous quality standards. Following these standards helps to ensure the longevity, durability, and performance of the roofing system.
Safety: Compliance with SMACNA standards promotes safety in metalwork by providing guidelines for safe installation practices, material selection, and maintenance procedures. Adhering to these standards reduces the risk of accidents and injuries during construction and throughout the lifespan of the roof.
Code Compliance: Many SMACNA standards are aligned with building codes and industry regulations. Compliance with these standards helps ensure that metalwork meets the necessary legal requirements and pass inspections without issues.
Performance: SMACNA standards address various aspects of metalwork including materials, design considerations, installation methods, and maintenance practices. Adhering to these standards increases the performance of the roofing system, including weather resistance, energy efficiency, and thermal performance.
Industry Best Practices: SMACNA standards are developed based on industry best practices, research, and consensus among roofing and construction experts. Following these standards allows roofing professionals to benefit from the collective knowledge and experience of the industry.
SMACNA standards play a vital role in metalwork by ensuring quality, safety, compliance with regulations, optimal performance, and adherence to industry best practices. They provide a framework for roofing professionals to design, install, and maintain commercial roofing systems to the highest standards of excellence.
