Custom Metal Roofing in Chelmsford, MA
Durable, Custom-Fit Metal Roof Systems for Commercial & Specialty Properties
Dave’s Contracting Inc. offers high-performance metal roofing systems for commercial buildings, custom structures, and architectural projects in Chelmsford and across Middlesex County. With our own in-house metal fabrication capability, we provide precise, tailored roof systems that offer unmatched durability, low maintenance, and visual appeal.
Whether you need a weather-resistant standing seam roof, snap-lock panels for architectural continuity, or handcrafted copper details for historic buildings, we deliver a solution that’s engineered to perform—and built to last.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Standing seam systems are the gold standard for watertight, low-maintenance metal roofing. The continuous panels feature concealed fasteners and raised seams that protect against water intrusion, expansion, and thermal cycling.
Benefits of standing seam metal roofing:
Lifespan of 40–70 years with minimal upkeep
High wind and hail resistance
Fire-resistant and Class A rated materials
Thermal movement accommodation (no exposed fasteners)
Sleek, professional appearance with modern curb appeal
We install standing seam panels using precision roll-forming and job-specific layout planning. Our team ensures correct spacing, fastening, and seam locking to prevent lifting or warping over time.


Snap-Lock and Architectural Metal Panels
For clients looking for fast installation or specific profiles, snap-lock panels provide a clean look and effective performance—especially on commercial and multi-use buildings. These systems “snap” into place without exposed fasteners or complicated seam welding.
Snap-lock panels are ideal for:
Commercial offices
Apartment buildings
Retail complexes
Warehouses with mild to moderate slopes
We offer a variety of gauge thicknesses, coatings, and custom colors to match your property’s branding or design needs.
Copper Roofing and Flashing Fabrication
Copper is more than just a premium metal—it’s a lifetime roofing material. With natural patina development and superior corrosion resistance, copper is ideal for historic renovations, religious buildings, upscale commercial structures, and custom architectural applications.
At Dave’s Contracting Inc., we fabricate all copper flashing, panels, valleys, gutters, and ridge caps in-house. This ensures an exact fit and timeless finish for:
Bay windows
Entryway canopies
Steeples or cupolas
Chimney caps and sidewall flashing
Our copper installations follow traditional soldering and seam-lock techniques that preserve architectural integrity and prevent premature aging or failure.

FAQs – Metal Roofing
How much does metal roofing cost compared to asphalt or EPDM?
Metal has a higher upfront cost but much lower maintenance and replacement costs over its 40–70 year lifespan.
Does metal roofing make buildings hotter?
No. Reflective coatings and proper ventilation help keep metal roofs cooler than many traditional systems.
Is copper roofing high maintenance?
No. Copper naturally resists corrosion and requires minimal maintenance. Its patina finish develops over time without reducing performance.
Can metal roofing be installed over an existing roof?
In many cases, yes. We assess structural integrity and code compliance before recommending an overlay installation.
What gauge metal do you use?
We typically use 24 or 26 gauge panels for commercial applications, depending on slope, span, and panel style.
