Call 434-237-3800When the Metal Work Is Wrong, Everything Leaks. Here's What We Do About It.
There's a house over on Rivermont that we got called to a few years back. Three different roofing companies had been out over four years trying to fix the same leak around the chimney. Caulk over caulk over caulk. The flashing was original — 40-year-old galvanized that had long since given up. But instead of replacing it proper, everybody just slapped more sealant on and hoped for the best.
We came out, pulled all that old flashing, fabricated new copper step flashing and a counter flashing system that actually fit the chimney geometry — then sealed it properly. That house hasn't had a drop of water in that spot since. And we hear about it every time we run into the homeowner around town.
That's what a real sheet metal contractor in Lynchburg VA does. Not a patch. Not a quick fix. Custom work that fits the job, made from the right materials, installed by people who actually know what they're doing.
We've been at this since 1987. The "Sheet Metal" in our name ain't an accident. It's what we built our reputation on right here in Lynchburg. Every job gets done the same way: right materials, right fit, right the first time.
Common sheet metal problems we see all over Lynchburg:
- Chimney leaks that "nobody can figure out"
- Flashing pulled away from walls after ice storms
- Galvanized flashing that rusted through after 20 years
- Standing seam panels that weren't seamed right
- Drip edges missing entirely on older Lynchburg homes
- Valley flashing that was never properly underlaid
- Soffit and fascia metal that's bent, corroded, or missing
- Vent boots cracked and letting water straight in
- Old copper work on historic homes that needs proper repair
- Commercial metal roof seams that have lifted or split
Metal Roofing Installation & Replacement in Lynchburg
Metal roofing is one of the fastest-growing choices for homeowners all across Lynchburg, Forest, and Bedford County. Once people realize a metal roof can last 50+ years, needs almost no maintenence, and actually handles our Blue Ridge climate better than asphalt — the choice gets pretty easy. Here's what we offer:
Metal Roofing Installation
Full metal roofing installation from tear-off to finished ridge cap. We install every type of metal roofing system — standing seam, exposed fastener panels, metal shingles — on residential and commercial properties throughout Lynchburg and surrounding Central Virginia counties. Every installation starts with proper underlayment and a thorough decking inspection.
Metal Roof Replacement
Metal roof replacement is a bigger job than shingle work, and it takes a crew that actually knows metal. We've replaced aging corrugated steel roofs, old standing seam systems, and failed exposed-fastener panels on homes and commercial buildings all over Lynchburg. New metal, done right, can last the rest of your life on that property.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofing is the gold standard — concealed fasteners, interlocking raised seams, and a clean modern look that performs extremely well in Virginia's weather. We install residential and commercial standing seam systems in Lynchburg using Kynar-coated steel and aluminum panels. Wind resistance, snow shedding, and 50-year longevity are built in.
Sheet Metal Roofing
Sheet metal roofing covers a wide range of applications — from full standing seam systems down to individual metal panels on porch roofs, shed dormers, and commercial canopies. We fabricate and install sheet metal roofing components in Lynchburg using copper, aluminum, and galvanized steel depending on the application, budget, and expected lifespan.
Metal Roof Repair
Metal roof repair in Lynchburg usually means one of a few things — lifted or separated seams, fastener back-out on older exposed systems, storm-damaged panels, or flashing failures at penetrations. We diagnose the actual problem first, then fix it properly. We don't just caulk seams that need to be re-seamed or patch panels that should be replaced.
Metal Roof Panel Installation
Whether you need a full set of new panels or a section replaced after storm damage, we handle metal roof panel installation on all types of metal roofing systems. We match profiles, colors, and gauges on replacement work so the repair blends in and performs the same as the rest of the roof. No mismatched patchwork jobs.
Commercial Sheet Metal Roofing Systems
Commercial sheet metal roofing systems require a different level of planning and installation than residential work. We've installed and maintained commercial metal roofing on warehouses, churches, office buildings, and multi-tenant properties throughout the Lynchburg area. Standing seam, corrugated systems, and custom commercial metal fabrication all in house.
Waterproof Metal Sealing
Metal is only as good as its seams and coatings. Waterproof metal sealing — done correctly — uses butyl tape, proper sealants, and in some cases fluid-applied coatings to protect metal roof systems from water intrusion at joints, fasteners, and transitions. We use the right products for each metal type — not just whatever's in the caulk gun.
Sheet Metal Maintenance
Metal roofs are low maintenance, not no maintenance. Annual sheet metal maintenance in Lynchburg should include checking seam integrity, clearing debris from valleys and scuppers, inspecting fasteners and sealant at penetrations, and checking for rust or coating failure. We offer maintenance programs for commercial and residential metal roofs throughout Central Virginia.
Chimney Flashing Repair & Roof Flashing Installation in Lynchburg
Most leaks that homeowners can't figure out — the ones that multiple roofers have "fixed" and that keep coming back — are flashing problems. Bad flashing at chimneys, walls, valleys, and penetrations is the number one cause of persistent roof leaks in Lynchburg homes. We fix flashing the right way.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Chimney flashing repair is one of the most common calls we get in Lynchburg. Failed step flashing, cracked counter flashing, missing saddles behind wide chimneys — all of it lets water in. We assess the full chimney-to-roof interface, not just the obvious spots, and repair or replace what actually needs it.
Chimney Cap Installation
Chimney cap installation keeps rain, animals, and debris out of the flue. A properly sized and fitted chimney cap also reduces downdraft, protects the crown, and extends the life of your chimney liner. We fabricate custom chimney caps in copper, galvanized, and stainless steel for chimneys of all sizes throughout Lynchburg.
Chimney Cap Repair
A bent, rusted, or missing chimney cap is an open door for water, squirrels, and starlings. Chimney cap repair in Lynchburg is usually quick — but if the cap is too far gone, we fabricate a new one that fits your chimney correctly. Don't leave a chimney uncapped in the Virginia winters we get up here in the hills.
Roof Flashing Installation
New roof flashing installation is part of every roofing project we do, but we also install flashing as a standalone service. Wherever a roof meets a vertical surface — walls, dormers, skylights, chimneys, pipes — you need properly designed and installed flashing. We fabricate custom pieces on site when stock profiles won't do the job right.
Flashing Repair & Replacement
Flashing repair and replacement is something we do on roofs of every age and type. Nailed-flat step flashing that's pulled away. Counter flashing that's cracked loose from the mortar joint. Pipe boot collars that have cracked from UV exposure. Valley flashing that's corroded through. We find the problem and fix it — not just reseal it.
Valley Flashing Installation
Valley flashing installation is where roofs meet and where water concentrates. In Lynchburg's heavy-rain seasons, a poorly detailed valley can dump a huge amount of water in a very short time. We install open-valley metal flashing systems that channel water off the roof fast and clean, with no weaving or closed-cut shortcuts that trap debris and moss.
Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication — Made Right Here for Lynchburg Jobs
This is what separates a real sheet metal contractor from a roofing company that happens to carry some flashing rolls. We fabricate custom sheet metal pieces on site — cut, bent, and formed to the exact dimensions your job requires. No guessing, no ordering stock pieces that don't quite fit.
Historic homes in Diamond Hill with unusual chimney angles. Dormers in older Rivermont houses that no standard flashing profile fits. Commercial buildings on Wards Road with non-standard roof penetrations. These jobs need custom work — and that's what we do.
Copper Roofing Work
Copper is the best flashing material available. It forms easily, outlasts everything else, and develops a beautiful patina. We use copper for chimney flashing, valley liners, and custom architectural details — especially on historic Lynchburg homes where the look matters as much as performance.
Aluminum Sheet Metal Work
Aluminum is our most-used material for everyday sheet metal work in Lynchburg. It's corrosion-proof, lightweight, paintable, and highly workable for custom fabrication. Great for drip edges, step flashing, valley liners, soffit, and fascia on residential and commercial properties.
Galvanized Steel Components
Galvanized steel is strong, durable, and budget-friendly. We use galvanized steel roofing components where strength is the priority — chimney caps, heavy valley flashing, commercial metal trim, and areas where foot traffic or mechanical damage is a concern.
Drip Edge Installation
A lot of older Lynchburg homes never had proper drip edge installed. Drip edge installation at eaves and rakes protects your fascia board from water runback, keeps critters out from under the roof edge, and extends the life of your shingles by directing water cleanly into the gutter system.
Metal Trim Installation
Clean metal trim installation at roof edges, hips, ridges, and wall terminations is what separates a finished-looking metal roof job from a sloppy one. We fabricate and install custom metal trim to match whatever roofing system you have — no generic profiles that don't quite fit.
Fascia Metal Installation
Fascia metal installation covers and protects the fascia board at the roof edge from moisture. Aluminum fascia cap is a smart upgrade on any home where the wood fascia has rotted once already. We form it to fit tight and drain properly so you're not dealing with the same problem five years from now.
Soffit, Vent Flashing & the Small Stuff That Causes Big Leaks
A lot of the problems we fix in Lynchburg aren't big dramatic failures — they're small sheet metal details that were never installed right, or that wore out and nobody noticed until water showed up inside. Here's the stuff we handle that most roofing companies don't think much about.
Soffit Metal Work
Damaged or missing soffit metal lets moisture, insects, and animals into the eave cavity. We replace and repair aluminum and galvanized soffit panels on all types of residential and commercial buildings across Lynchburg — vented and non-vented styles, custom cuts for non-standard overhangs.
Vent Flashing Installation
Every pipe and vent that punches through your roof is a potential leak if the flashing boot fails. We install and replace vent flashing on all roof types — rubber boots, lead boots, and custom metal collars for chimneys, ridge vents, exhaust stacks, and HVAC penetrations.
Flashing at Skylights
Skylights leak for one reason almost every time: bad flashing. We fabricate and install proper step-and-counter flashing systems around skylights that direct water away from the opening instead of pooling next to the curb. Curb-mounted and deck-mounted systems handled on Lynchburg homes of all ages.
Wall & Dormer Flashing
Anywhere a roof intersects a vertical wall — the side of a dormer, a second-story addition, a shed roof against the house wall — you need properly installed step and counter flashing. We see missing or improperly integrated wall flashing on older Lynchburg homes constantly. It's a fixable problem when you catch it before the rot sets in.
Real Reviews From Real Neighbors
"Had them do a full standing seam metal roof on our home out in Forest. The crew fabricated the pieces on site for the tricky dormers. Best sheet metal work I've ever seen. Clean, tight, no exposed fasteners, looks incredible. These guys really know their craft."
"Our chimney flashing was the source of a major leak for two years. Two other roofers patched it and it kept leaking. Melvin T. Morgan came out, fabricated new copper flashing right on site, and that chimney has been bone dry ever since. Wish we'd called them first."
"We manage a commercial building on Wards Road with a large standing seam metal roof. Had some seam separations after last winter. These guys found every problem, reflashed two penetrations, and reseamed the bad sections. Haven't had a single issue since. Real professionals."
