Our story
Four generations
of Alabama steel
Founded in 1912 and still run by the same family. We've grown from a scrap yard into a nationwide metal roofing manufacturer — without outgrowing the handshake.

Since 1912
Built by one family, shipped nationwide
Jacob Labovitz started this company in 1912. What began as a steel and scrap business grew, generation by generation, into a manufacturer: rolling our own metal roofing, fabricating our own trim, and supplying the buildings that go up across the country every week.
Four generations later, the family is still in the building. That's not a marketing line — it's why the person quoting your roof is the same person who'll answer the phone when your crew has a question at 7am on a Tuesday.
We've kept what works: manufacture it ourselves so we control quality and schedule, stock deep so contractors aren't waiting, and tell customers the truth about what they need — even when it's the cheaper option.
How we work
Before, during, and after the sale
Anybody can sell steel. What customers keep coming back for is the part that happens after the invoice.
Manufacturer, not middleman
We roll it, bend it and stage it. That means better pricing and a schedule we control.
Straight answers
If a pole barn beats a pre-engineered building for your job, we'll say so — and quote it.
People you can name
Direct lines to sales, project management and the counter. No ticket queue.
Support after delivery
Questions during install get answered. That's the whole reputation, protected daily.
The team
Talk to a real person
Direct numbers and emails, because the fastest quote is the one that skips the switchboard.
