Custom Aluminum Trims, Cladding & Flashing Fabrication

​

At Building Sense, we know that "one size fits all" rarely applies to renovation. Whether you are a homeowner looking to protect your investment or a contractor needing specific profiles, we bend custom metal flashings that provide a glove-tight fit and superior weather protection.

 

What We Fabricate

We work with high-quality heavy-gauge aluminum coil stock and steel to create custom profiles for any application:

• Window & Door Capping: Completely wrap exterior wood frames to make them maintenance-free and rot-resistant.

• Drip Caps & Head Flashings: Essential water diversion for the tops of windows, doors, and ledger boards.

• Roofing Flashings: Custom valley metals, step flashing, chimney crickets, and skylight aprons tailored to your specific roof pitch.

• Fascia & Bargeboard: Seamless, long-length covers that protect your roof structure and eliminate the need for painting.

• Custom Z-Bar & J-Channel: Specialized profiles for siding transitions that standard trims can't handle.

 

 

What We Fabricate

​

We work with high-quality aluminum coil stock to create custom profiles for any application:

​

• Window & Door Capping: Completely wrap exterior wood frames to make them maintenance-free and rot-resistant.

• Drip Caps: Essential water diversion for the tops of windows, doors, and ledger boards.

• Roofing Flashing: custom step flashing for brick chimneys tailored to your specific roof pitch.

• Fascia: Custom size fascia and stepped fascia for larger surfaces,

• Custom Z-Bar & J-Channel: Specialized profiles for siding transitions that standard trims can't handle.

• Post and Beam Wrap: Cover bare wood posts and beams with colour matched aluminum in smooth or wood-grain finish.

• Overhead Door Capping: Give your overhead door a touch of contrast against your siding colour,

• Transition Trims: Create a distinct separation between exterior finish materials. Ex: between horizontal siding and shakes.

Our Process

1. Precision Measurement: We don't just measure length; we measure the depth of the jamb, the angle of the sill, and the thickness of the casing to design a profile that fits perfectly.

2. On-Site or Shop Fabrication: For complex jobs, we bring our portable brakes to your driveway to ensure adjustments can be made on the fly. For bulk orders, we fabricate in our shop using specifications you provide.

3. Hems & Safety Edges: We hem our edges (fold the metal back on itself) to provide rigidity, eliminate sharp edges, and create a clean, finished line. (Except in areas the hem would interfere with installation.)
