The History of S & R Architectural Metals

S & R was incorporated in 1976 as an industrial sheet metal shop and are signatory to Sheet Metal Workers Local 105. Our primary work was to design, fabricate, and install air pollution control systems and custom fabrication for industrial manufacturers.

In 1988 we ventured into the architectural field including miscellaneous metals and light structural steel. We have been very successful; ornamental metal fabrication and installation now comprise 95% of our work. We have established a solid reputation in the industry meeting exact specifications of our clients and providing reliable service in design, fabrication and installation of a variety of unique projects.

At the beginning of 2004 we officially changed our name to S & R Architectural Metals, Inc. We still have the same leadership and employees, only our name and owner/officers have changed.
