METAL ROOF FABRICATOR NJ, EAST ORANGE
Standing seam roofing, siding, edge metal, soffit, and custom trim, cut and formed to your profile, gauge, and color in East Orange, NJ. We fabricate the panels and trim to your spec.
WHAT WE FABRICATE
Snap-lock and mechanical seam panels in 22, 24, and 26 gauge steel, plus .032 and .040 aluminum, finished in the color and coating your drawings call for and cut to the run lengths your roof needs. Profiles we roll include the SS100, SS150, and SSQ200 mechanical seam and the SS450 snap-lock, in coverage widths from 12 to 24 inches.
Standing seam panelsConcealed and exposed fastener wall panels in the same steel and aluminum substrates as the roof line. Board-and-batten, flush, and corrugated looks, color-matched across the envelope.
Metal siding panelsCoping, fascia, drip edge, gravel stop, gutters, and downspouts, formed to your dimensions and finished to match the panels they meet.
Edge metal and copingCounter flashing, scuppers, leader heads, pitch pans, and one-off brake-formed profiles. Send a sketch, a CAD file, or a sample to match.
Custom fabricationVented and solid metal soffit with matching fascia, color-matched so the eave line reads as one system.
Soffit and fasciaShop facts, not projections: lines on the floor, supplier accounts on file, colors in the current Sheffield architectural chart, and road miles from Hedden Place.
BUILT TO YOUR SPEC
Work with a metal roof fabricator NJ contractors trust, and the job starts with your numbers, not a catalog page. Give us the panel profile, the substrate and gauge, the finish color, and the run lengths, and we fabricate to that spec. Nothing gets cut until the order is confirmed against your drawings, so the panels that come off the line match what the building needs.
Stock substrates cover most architectural work, and specialty metals are available by request. Lead times depend on the substrate, color, and quantity, so we confirm them with you at quote stage before any material is cut. If you are matching an existing roof or a previous phase, send a sample or the original color name and we work from that.
The roll former on the floor is a New Tech Machinery SSQ II MultiPro, and the brake handles the coping, the flashing, and the one-off profiles that finish the job. Roof panels, flush wall, and soffit all come off the same line in East Orange, so the metal on every face of the building matches.
SUPPLIER LINES WE RUN
As a metal roof fabricator NJ jobs rely on, U Design forms every panel in-house: it is a certified installer of Englert and Sheffield systems, certified since 2019, so the metal is shaped in a shop that has run these systems on real roofs. We buy Englert and Sheffield material, plus Drexmet coil, and form it to your drawings. The manufacturer's paint and coating warranty carries with the coil, and U Design warranties its own fabrication. When an architect specifies an Englert profile or a Sheffield color, we fabricate the real thing and the paperwork holds up.
Email the drawings or call the shop. Pricing comes back itemized, with a lead time you can plan around, from the people who will run the metal.
WHO WE SERVE, WHERE WE DELIVER
Order the standing seam, edge metal, soffit, and trim package for a job, finished and color-matched, ready to load and run. Buying local keeps the install and the warranty conversation between you and the building owner, with no waiting on a national supplier to ship a special-color order.
One source for the metal envelope across roof, wall, and perimeter. We quote the full panel and trim takeoff against your drawings, so your sub scopes stay clean and the metal package lands on schedule, without a separate vendor for every piece of trim.
Specify the profile, gauge, and color, and get panels fabricated to match, with the manufacturer finish warranty behind the coil. We supply the metal to your spec, which keeps the design intent and the warranty path clear from drawing to roof.
Our primary market is Essex, Hudson, Union, and Bergen counties. From the East Orange shop we deliver across the wider tri-state inside a 150-mile radius, which also reaches Passaic and the rest of North Jersey, New York City, Long Island, Westchester, the Hudson Valley, Western Connecticut, Eastern Pennsylvania, and Northern Delaware. If your jobsite sits inside that radius, send the address with your quote and we will price delivery.

Fabrication is what the shop leads with. We cut and form the panels and trim to your spec, and most orders are set by your own crew or installer, so the quote covers fabrication and delivery. The credential behind the shop comes from the field: U Design is a certified installer of Englert and Sheffield systems, so the panels are formed in a shop that has run these systems on real roofs.
A fabricator. Custom metal fabrication means we cut and form Englert, Sheffield, and Drexmet material to your drawings rather than stocking catalog panels to resell. Roof panels run on a New Tech Machinery SSQ II MultiPro roll former, and the coping, flashing, and trim are brake-formed in the same shop, so you get parts made for your job with the manufacturer finish warranty that carries with the coil. The same floor runs FWQ100 and FWQ150 flush wall and soffit profiles, so wall, eave, and roof metal all come from one shop.
Our custom metal fabrication is business to business, built around roofing contractors, general contractors, architects, and building owners. A homeowner working with an installer is welcome to send a request through that installer, and we quote the installer directly so the pricing and the responsibility stay clear from the first call.
Essex, Hudson, Union, and Bergen counties are the primary market, with delivery across the tri-state inside a 150-mile radius from East Orange. That reach covers the rest of North Jersey, New York City, Long Island, the Hudson Valley, Western Connecticut, and Eastern Pennsylvania. Pickup runs from the shop at 10-12 Hedden Place, East Orange, weekdays from 6:30 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday mornings until 10.
Both. Pick up at the East Orange shop, or have the order delivered anywhere inside our 150-mile radius. We price delivery with the quote once we have the jobsite address. For runs too long to ship full length, on-site forming is available, so the longest panels roll out at the building instead of riding a flatbed. Saturday morning pickup, from 6:30 to 10 AM, works for crews loading ahead of a weekend job.
The substrate, the color, the quantity, and the current shop schedule. Stock colors move faster than special-color or special-substrate orders, and we confirm the custom metal fabrication lead time with you when we price the job, so the schedule you plan around is one the shop has already committed to. Stock Sheffield colors in 70% PVDF coatings move fastest, and a custom color match adds the supplier coil lead time on top of fabrication.
The manufacturer finish warranty comes from the supplier whose coil and coating you specified, Englert, Sheffield, or Drexmet, and carries with the metal. U Design warranties its own fabrication, and your installer warranties the workmanship on the building, so each party answers for the work it actually performed. Keep the color name and the coil lot with your order paperwork and the warranty conversation stays simple years down the road.
Send your spec or drawings through the quote form or by phone. Include the profile, gauge, color, lengths, and quantities if you have them, plus the jobsite address for a delivery price. We reply by email with itemized pricing and a lead time the shop can hold. The shop runs in English and Portuguese, so send the spec in either language.
U Design Fabricators has handled custom metal fabrication out of East Orange since 2014, supplying roofing and general contractors, plus the architects and building owners who spec the work, across North Jersey. The shop carries more than two decades of trade experience, so the people quoting your job are the people making it. The Englert and Sheffield certifications came in 2019, and the supplier accounts have carried the same coil lines since.
Yes. Essex, Hudson, Union, and Bergen are the primary market, but delivery runs anywhere inside the 150-mile radius. Send the jobsite address with the spec and we price the haul with the rest of the quote, whether the building sits in Paterson or across the Hudson. Morris, Middlesex, Somerset, and Mercer county jobs fall inside the served radius as well.
Yes. Pricing comes back itemized by panel, trim, and accessory, with a lead time based on the current shop schedule, so you can see what each part of the metal package costs before you commit. If the spec changes between quote and order, the revision prices the change instead of burying it. The line items match your takeoff panel by panel, so comparing bids or trimming a detail does not mean re-quoting the whole job.
Tell us the lines you need and the building they are going on. We quote the panels and trim against your drawings, then cut to your numbers. Pickup in East Orange or delivery across North Jersey.
