Starting Monday, August 10, 2026, Tri County Metals is rolling out a major upgrade to how we deliver standing seam roofing packages: a second onsite roll forming team, backed by a trained third team ready to deploy during peak demand. For contractors managing large-scale roofing jobs, this means faster turnaround, fewer headaches, and more consistent panel quality — right at your jobsite.
What's Changing
Each onsite team brings two trained professionals, including a CDL-licensed driver, fully equipped to roll form standing seam panels directly on location. For roof packages exceeding 3,500 linear feet, onsite production is now the default approach — no more waiting on crated shipments from Trenton for your larger jobs. That said, if your project calls for traditional manufacturing, that option is still available; crated packages will simply reflect an updated fee to account for the added labor and handling involved.
Looking ahead, Tri County Metals plans to grow this program to as many as five onsite teams, with some based out of branch locations to cut down travel time and improve responsiveness in markets farther from Trenton.
Why It Matters for You
Onsite roll forming isn't just a logistics tweak — it's a shift designed to make your jobs run smoother from start to finish. Here's what contractors can expect:
- Faster lead times on standing seam jobs over 3,500 LF, since panels are formed on location instead of waiting on transport from Trenton.
- Less risk of panel damage in transit, because panels are made right where they're installed.
- Tighter accuracy on panel lengths, with real-time adjustments possible based on actual jobsite conditions.
- Less downtime waiting on crated deliveries to arrive and get unloaded.
- More dependable fulfillment overall, thanks to added crew capacity.
- Greater flexibility during busy stretches, with a second and third team available to meet demand across more jobs and regions at once.
- Consistent quality across every crew, since all onsite teams are trained to the same standards under experienced leadership.
Bottom Line
This expansion is about giving roofing contractors a more reliable, higher-quality standing seam experience — less handling, less transit risk, and panels built to fit your job precisely.
