Reliable Commercial Metalwork since 1894
We work with property managers, building owners, contractors, and facilities who need dependable metalwork completed on schedule and on budget.
Commercial Sheet Metal
Wagner and Son brings over 130 years of sheet metal expertise to commercial buildings throughout the Chicago area. From small retail spaces to large multi-story structures, we understand the unique demands of commercial construction and maintenance. Our commercial sheet metal services keep buildings protected, functional, and looking professional.
Whether you're dealing with failing gutters, need composite panel repairs, or are planning new construction that requires metal wall panels and fascia systems, we have the equipment, experience, and crew to handle commercial projects efficiently.
Commercial Sheet Metal Services
Metal wall Panels & Metal Siding
Metal wall panels provide durability and clean aesthetics for commercial buildings. We install metal siding systems that stand up to Chicago weather while requiring minimal maintenance. Our commercial sheet metal wall panels work for warehouses, office buildings, retail spaces, and industrial facilities.
We handle new installations and replacement projects, working with architects and contractors to ensure proper specifications and timely completion. Metal siding offers excellent protection, energy efficiency benefits, and a professional appearance that lasts for decades.
Standing Seam Roofs
Standing seam metal roofing provides exceptional durability and performance for commercial buildings. These roofing systems feature raised seams that interlock panels together, creating a weather-tight barrier that handles Chicago's heavy snow loads, driving rain, and temperature extremes. We install standing seam roofs on warehouses, office buildings, retail centers, and industrial facilities throughout the region.
The benefits of standing seam roofing go beyond weather protection. These systems require minimal maintenance, last 40+ years with proper installation, and offer energy efficiency advantages through reflective coatings. We work with steel, aluminum, and copper standing seam systems, selecting materials appropriate for your building's requirements and budget.
Roof edge metals & Drainage
Proper roof edge protection and drainage are critical for commercial building longevity. We fabricate and install a complete range of roof edge metals including copings, gravel stops, counterflashing, scuppers, and conductor heads. These components work together to manage water runoff, protect roof edges, and prevent water infiltration that leads to costly interior damage.
Copings cap parapet walls, providing a finished appearance while protecting the masonry below from water penetration. Our custom-fabricated copings include proper drip edges and are designed for your building's specific dimensions. Gravel stops contain built-up roofing materials and create clean roof perimeters. Counterflashing protects vulnerable transitions between roofing and vertical surfaces.
Composite wall Panels & Canopies
Composite wall panels combine insulation with a finished exterior surface, making them ideal for commercial buildings that need both performance and appearance. We provide complete composite panel services including repair, installation, and additions when buildings are expanded or renovated.
When your composite panels are compromised by vehicle impacts, weather events, or age, we assess the damage and provide cost-effective repair solutions. Our panel installation work meets building codes and manufacturer specifications, ensuring your warranty stays intact.
We also fabricate and install canopies that provide weather protection for entryways, loading docks, and outdoor spaces.
Commercial Gutters & Downspouts
Rusty, sagging, or inadequate gutters lead to foundation problems, water infiltration, and interior damage that costs far more to fix than the gutter system itself. Our commercial gutter services eliminate these problems with properly designed and installed systems.
We install, repair, and replace commercial gutters in aluminum, steel, and copper. Each system is custom-fabricated to handle the water volume from your specific roof area and configured to direct water away from your building effectively.
Whether you manage a strip mall, office building, warehouse, or multi-tenant property, failing gutters need attention before they create bigger problems. Our commercial gutter work is built to last and backed by decades of experience.
Soffit Panels & Fascia
Soffit panels and fascia systems complete your roofline while providing essential protection for the underlying structure. We install and repair soffit panels in copper, aluminum, and steel, matching your building's existing materials or upgrading to more durable options.
When fascia fails, it compromises your entire roofline and creates openings for water damage and pest infiltration. Our commercial sheet metal fascia installations provide a weather-tight seal and a clean, finished appearance. We work on buildings of all sizes, completing projects efficiently while meeting commercial building standards.
