Sheridan Sheet Metal has been serving Minneapolis and the Twin Cities area for over 76 years. Since 1950, we’ve manufactured, distributed, and installed custom metal roofs, gutters, and architectural accents that look beautiful and stand up to the tests of weather and time.

Both contractors and homeowners in the Twin Cities area are experiencing jobsite disruptions, crew shortages, crew quality issues, and subcontractor no-shows. Here’s what you might not know – Sheridan Sheet Metal can help. 

Whether you’re a general contractor, roofing contractor, or a homeowner, if you’re looking for a reliable, experienced crew that will show up when they’re scheduled and complete your project to the highest standard of quality, this article is here to explain why working with Sheridan Sheet Metal is your best option.

THE IMPACTS OF PROJECT DELAYS, JOBSITE DISRUPTION, AND CREW SHORTAGES

We’ve been hearing a lot about contractors having issues getting projects completed on time, with subcontractor crews failing to show up or showing up with workers who aren’t qualified to be there. These crew shortages and poor crew quality are key causes of both project delays and jobsite disruptions throughout the Twin Cities. 

Choosing the right crew for your roofing project helps you avoid all these risks.

HOW SHERIDAN SHEET METAL CAN HELP CONTRACTORS AND HOMEOWNERS

Our installation teams have decades of experience, complete vetting and verification, deep training, and Union memberships. They have the know-how to tackle any situation. Our team understands the ins and outs of metal roof installation, so they can handle unexpected issues with solutions that protect your project – and your bottom line. Whether adapting to architectural nuances or managing last-minute adjustments, our crew’s ability to solve on-site challenges and get it right the first time saves you time and money.

Here’s how Sheridan Sheet Metal’s crews are different: 

Long-term Employees, Not Subcontractors

The members of the installation team at Sheridan Sheet Metal are all our employees – not subcontractors. That means we’re able to guarantee their schedule, training, and time. They’ll be where they’re supposed to be, when they’re supposed to be there. 

Having employees, rather than using independent subcontractors, also means that Sheridan Sheet Metal has already vetted and verified each member of our crew. Our process includes: 

  • Drug testing
  • Background checks
  • Work eligibility verification via I-9 form and E-Verify 

Our employees are also union members. That means better, more extensive standardized training through apprenticeship, greater productivity per person, better safety records compared to non-union laborers, and higher skill levels overall. Plus, we have our own robust training program for the metal roofing and gutter industry that builds on everything our experts already know – our culture of continuous learning means that every new project benefits from what we learned on the last one. 

Our employees are highly trained, union laborers: they simply produce a higher standard of work, with fewer project errors and delays, compared to independent subcontractors.

Reliable Partners for 76 Years and Counting

Sheridan Sheet Metal has been partnering with Minneapolis homeowners, general contractors, and roofing contractors for almost eight decades. We show up ready to work, on time, with experienced employee installers who have all the materials and tools necessary to get the job done on schedule. We know how to work with multiple other crews on site, and we know how to solve challenges. 

Our employees have up to 40 years of experience completing projects just like yours. We back up our work. In the rare event that there is an issue on a project, we’ll send the team lead and the installer back to fix it – at no cost to you. That’s how we ensure that we never make the same mistake twice. 

We also have more flexibility in scheduling than a subcontractor may. Because our installers are our employees, we work full-time all year round. That means we can prioritize projects and assign the right crews to the right work, and it gives us the ability to help you meet your project timelines.
