Certified Sheet Metal

What Certified Sheet Metal does

Certified Sheet Metal is a West Michigan-based custom sheet metal fabrication company headquartered in Muskegon, MI, and operating as a subsidiary of East Muskegon Roofing and Sheet Metal with the Kanaar Brothers as Operating Partners. Founded in 1952, the company serves commercial, industrial, educational, institutional, healthcare, government, food processing, and pharmaceutical clients with custom metal components and on-site installation. Its service portfolio spans laser and plasma cutting, custom fabrication, structural welding (SMAW, GMAW, GTAW), HVAC components, architectural metal, dust collection systems, and installation services, working in carbon and galvanized steel, stainless steel and alloys, aluminum, plastics, and UHMW.

Technically, the company relies on CAD-driven CNC input feeding laser and plasma cutting equipment alongside multi-process certified welding, with welder qualification and certification testing conducted internally as part of a four-year apprenticeship program. This apprenticeship program, combining classroom instruction every two weeks with shop and job-site training, functions as a structured talent pipeline for the HVAC, architectural, and industrial sheet metal trades.

Commercially, revenue is generated through project-based B2B contracts priced on a quote basis per project scope, sold directly to construction owners, general contractors, subcontractors, plant engineers, and architects in West Michigan and surrounding markets. The parent enterprise was restructured into Certified Sheet Metal and Certified Building Solutions, and the company lists enterprise reference projects with customers such as Lamar Construction, The North Face, Michigan Turkey Producers, Great Lakes Ford, and Muskegon County Wastewater. No e-commerce, self-serve, or digital acquisition channels are used.
