What Retro Custom Metals does

Retro Custom Metals is a Utah-based custom metal fabrication company founded in 2011 that designs and manufactures architectural metalwork for residential and commercial customers along the Wasatch Front. The company operates a primary fabrication facility in Salt Lake City plus a satellite office in Park City, and serves homeowners, contractors and builders, architects, and commercial project clients. Its product portfolio spans metal roofing and siding systems (standing seam, snap-lock, mechanical seam, board & batten), ACM panel systems, chimney caps and hoods, gutters and downspouts, soffit and fascia, custom range hoods, fireplace surrounds, bay windows and awnings, and bespoke interior and exterior accents.

The company's technical foundation rests on in-house CNC routing, CIDAN shearing and folding, and roll-forming equipment that enable exclusive metal profiles and custom-length panel production. Capabilities include on-site roll forming that fabricates panels at the jobsite to reduce transportation damage and waste, plus three-stage quality inspections with written reports on roof projects. Lead times are quoted at four days or less for most orders, and the company offers a 35-year Kynar finish warranty, 20-year Metallic finish warranty, and transferable Drexel weather-tight warranties.

The business model is sales-led and project-based, with all pricing quote-driven rather than publicly listed. Customers initiate contact via website project quote forms or direct phone calls; the form explicitly captures how-heard-about data (Facebook, Instagram, Google Ads, referrals, home shows) to inform channel mix. Revenue streams span custom fabrication services, pre-cut job-site-ready metal components for contractors, and engineered metal panel systems. The company is privately held, founder-owned, and operates without external funding, subsidiaries, or parent-company relationships, and sources materials through suppliers including Sheffield Metals, Alucobond, CMG Metals, and elZinc.
